Best Promotional Item Ever: Capcom to Release E-Tank Beverage


This is just beyond awesome. This is like uber awesome.

Starting this month, Capcom of Japan will be selling "Rockman E-Tank Sport Drinks" for the low price of 137 yen ($1.25 USD). The best part is the can looks like an E-Tank, so it can double as a collectors item and a beverage! That is just so cool. Seriously Capcom, you guys are really impressing me with all this RM9 love.

Promoting a video game through soft drinks is nothing new, previously Square Enix promoted "Final Fantasy XII" with a series of "potions", though I've been told they taste awful.

One has to wonder, will US Rockman fans get a taste of this lovely promotional item? Only time will tell.

  2. You missed the Ryusei drink containers here http://www.capcom.co.jp/game/event/rockman_summer_festival/

    They look awesome too. One of those and an E-tank would work great together :)

  4. Even if they don't bring it, we have ways of finding Japanese stuff. I'd love to run around with an E-Tank though. It'd be like a fan-magnet, if you were to carry it at school or in public. Any original Megaman fan knows what an E-Tank is, so perhaps it'd even be able to help you find friends, in a way. XD
