Retro-style Mega Man 10 ad is mega rad

3:00 AM on 03.06.2010

Mega Man 10 was released on WiiWare this past week. While Wii owners are having a blast with the game, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners have to wait a little while longer for the Blue Bomber. So how about a retro-style ad to hold you over in the mean time?

This ad has it all. VCR quality, exaggerated nerd stereotypes and a extremely cheesy theme song. I love the retro feel to the Capcom logo at the very end.

Our review should be going up soon for Mega Man 10. In the meantime, check out Jonathan Holmes's early impressions of the game.

Rad video. Very rad.

Wished they used "rad" in the video.

Dr Milkdad

Oh dude, that theme song is totally the first stage music from Mega Man X. INCREDIBLE

Skribble

Holy. Fucking. Shit. O__O

Generic Purple Turtle

MEGA AWESOME!

flamecondor

Did that just happen?

Also Lol at using the Atari 7800 to play Mega Man on.

xaliqen

In the ad: Some happy kid enthusiastically playing with his joystick

There's no way this video isn't illegal in at least a couple of countries.

That is pretty MEGA........man
but it has a long way to go to match the Powerglove ads.

For your viewing pleasure, the Australian version because of the slick moves at 0:18. Cracks me up.

BBcode fail. But I don't know why. :(

Spykron

oh christ. i love capcom.

Mecha Six VII

pretty sure that TT19 is an adbot.

Sterling Aiayla Lyons

Lol, I like how they used the song to the first stage of Megaman X. Really funny joke.

Because x is the roman numeral for 10. Get it, huh, huh, huh?

peachboy

Oh hey, these SimCity ads are actually funny

Typically, when it comes to videogame ads at least, actors don't usually do a good job of promoting a game. That's not the case here with these SimCity ads, thankfully. Actor Adam Devine of Workaholics fame did a few promos for the game and they're all pretty funny. Fancy that. SimCity is out this week for the PC. Are you planning on picking it up?
