Rockman Series Promo VHS (Rockman 5, World 3, RockBoard)

Obtained from a Japanese collector and presented in association with Toad Titan* and Rockman Corner, comes this video intended for store clerks to play on TV's, or to use as an idea of why should you sell Rockman goods and software. Released between January and August 1992, this hype tape talks at length about Rockman 5: Blues no wana! (ロックマン５ ブルースの罠！？) (Or Megaman 5 Internationally) for the Famicom, Rockman World 3 (ロックマンワールド３) (Called Megaman III by the fans for easier distinction) for the Gameboy and Wily & Light's Rockboard: That's Paradise! (ワイリー & ライト の ロックボード: ザッツ☆パラダイス) A Famicom board game spinoff that was never released in the west. (But not for a lack of trying! See: http://www.rockman-corner.com/2010/03... for more. )

Each of the playthroughs of the 3 games contains some differences to the final builds. How many can you find? It's time to use Search Snake and snoop them all out!

With the quality of the rip, you can also see the tireless care put into each of the many boss submissions sent in. They run the gamut from adorably simple (Just a snail, A Red-Colored Rockman) to hilariously designed (PopsicleMan, Godzilla with a smaller Godzilla head for his loins) to stereo-typically cheesecake (Literally just a girl in a red-one piece, One where there's an on switch on one breast and an off on the other) to actually kinda awesome (CookMan, The black suited outlaw). Who's your fav?

Also get a peek at all the things you would've spent your allowance on if you were a Megafan in Japan. I smell an eBay binge!
