Was watching some random 90s commercials on Youtube and came across one for Secret of Mana, which I thought was bizarre. The commercial doesn't do the game justice at all but I can't believe a game like that would actually air on television. There's also a Jaguar one earlier in the video which is also pretty damn weird.
The commercial starts at 1:42.

Wow! That whole video is so 90's awesome. Thanks for that. You're right about the SOM commercial. Randi looks a bit too much like Goku. I'd completely forgotten about Snick.
Here's the first Mega Man commercial (japanese) in high quality.

Don't you love the fact that when you were a kid hated these and now as a grown up you do time to watch them?

Very cool, don't think I ever saw it myself back then.

Wow, I had forgotten about the McWorld campaign, but that last commercial brought it all back.

Because nothing says McDonalds like the wail of an electric guitar.

YES.
Old commercial videos on YouTube are teh awesome. 80sCommercialVault is a great channel, tons of stuff from the 70s-90s there.
This particular set of commercials looks like they came from the New York area. Room Plus guy and his awful hair were a ubiquitous presence in my childhood.
I like *boing* Game Boy.

This was actually somewhat accurate back in 1994/95.
Not sure what their slogan today would be. Publisher of the world's worst Western video games?
