For [[Ubisoft]], the ''Mega64'' team has produced skits featuring ''[[Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory]]'', ''[[Cold Fear]]'', ''[[187 Ride or Die]]'', ''[[Myst V: End of Ages]]'', ''[[Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones]]'', ''[[Dark Messiah of Might and Magic]]'', ''[[Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent]]'', and ''[[Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2]]'', all of which have been available for download on their respective websites.

 

Skits featuring ''[[Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter]]'' are available for download not only on the game's official website, but also via [[Xbox Live]] to Microsoft's [[Xbox 360]], in full [[High-definition video|high-definition]] and [[Dolby Digital|Dolby 5.1 Surround]], both firsts for ''Mega64''. Both videos are now available, listed as "GRAW: Cross-Com 1" and "GRAW: Cross-Com 2".

 

The ''Mega64'' group have created several promotional skits for the [[Game Developers Conference]], including advertisements for the conference and its [[Independent Games Festival]], as well as comedic skits played during the conference's [[Game Developers Choice Awards]]. In 2008, the team released a series of advertisements for IGF, entitled "Intro", "I am Independent", and "Independent Inspirations". In 2010, they released another series of advertisements.

 

For the conference's [[Game Developers Choice Awards]], the group regularly create comedic skits focusing on award recipients, which are premiered during the award ceremony. These include satirical accounts of Lifetime Achievement Award winners' careers, such as those of [[Ken Kutaragi]] in "Kutaragi's Way" and [[Hironobu Sakaguchi]] in "Sakaguchi's Final Fantasy".{{cn|date=October 2017}}

 

In 2011, the ''Mega64'' crew supplied a skit to [[Konami]]'s [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3]] show, debuting the "transfarring" system in their upcoming ''[[Metal Gear Solid HD Collection]]''. The system, which enables saved game data transfer between the [[PlayStation 3]] and the [[PlayStation Vita]], was presented as a solution to the problem of continuing game progress 'on the go', with Botte shown traversing public areas with a large, moving television and home console setup. The skit also revealed that the ''Metal Gear Solid HD Collection'' and the ''[[Zone of the Enders]]'' HD Collection would be released on the [[Xbox 360]], in addition to the Playstation 3.

 

For Konami's Pre-E3 show in 2013, the group supplied a skit advertising the game [[Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2]]. The skit featured Botte performing a satirical take on the game's protagonist, [[Dracula (Castlevania)|Dracula]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamenguide.com/articles/7189/20130607/mega64-crashes-konamis-pre-e3-stream-absurd-castlevania-lords-shadow.htm|title=Mega64 crashes Konami's pre-E3 stream with absurd Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 parody|work=Gamenguide|accessdate=15 August 2015}}</ref>
