Is Mega Man 6 A Perfect Ending

After repeated attack’s by Dr Wily over recent years.. The Global Robot Alliance was formed in order to maintain peace and order. One year later a tournament was held to determine the 8 Robots that will represent the alliance and decide the strongest amongst the group. The sponsor of the event is the mysterious Mr. X the head of the X-foundation and various Roboticist. In the days leading up to the tournament however Mr X steals 8 of the tournaments most elite robots by reprogramming them. Mr. X claims he has manipulated Dr Wily and is responsible for his actions in recent years !

MegaMan6 is best described as “Fan Service the game”. Before the games release Capcom held a contest in Nintendo Power for fans to create and submit their own robot creations. The 8 finalist would have there robots represented as the new Robot Masters for the game. Six of the finalist would be from Japan and two from the USA. Outside of this the biggest improvements in MM6 is the rush power and Jet adapters that fuse rush and MegaMan into one robot! Mega can now destroy massive objects or hover over various parts of the stage leading to alternate routes. The game graphically is in my opinion at the series best and the OST here is rocking. This game is an amazing send off to the Nes and a huge thank you to all the fans that have stuck w MegaMan and Capcom through these early adolescent years. But where will MegaMan go from here? Stay tuned! (Oh and what about Mr. X? He was Wily and is doing some heavy jail time at the moment for his crimes!)

The game where we see Dr wily finally got arrested

[@RockinKatReviews]

Got what was coming to him 😆

[@freddyvidz]

He wasn’t in there long…

[@edwardgaines6561]

Megaman 6 *should* have been slated for the Super Nintendo. It's criminal that there was only one flagship game for that console: MegaMan 7. (Megaman Soccer and Megaman & Bass notwithstanding.)

[@underwaterlevelz1947]

After I replayed the whole series a couple years ago, I decided MegaMan 6 is my favorite. Maybe its because its the least familiar, maybe its the Rush Jet, maybe it's me. Whatever it is, 6 gives me the most joy when I replay it. Happy and sad to see this series end, you knocked it out of the park. Can't wait for whatevers next!

[@RockinKatReviews]

🙏 it’s been a blast doing these and just hearing different takes and perspectives of the many MegaMan games is rewarding enough to make these

[@pixelfiendcombo5742]

Still one of my favorite MegaMan games in the series!

[@RockinKatReviews]

This is one I can play anytime and still get excited to jump into it

[@KoopaKid-ff7mb]

Great review bro the adapters were a great addition and even better in mm7

[@RockinKatReviews]

I do enjoy the combination of the adapters in 7 I think it was a better choice going forward

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

MegaMan remains one of my favorite game series and to me there's no better way to spend some time than to fire up one of the NES originals and run through the 8 robot masters.

[@RockinKatReviews]

Agreed! It left such a lasting imprint on the nes too especially with the sheer amount of installments it’s like which flavor of the month is it this time. Mm3 maybe mm5 🧐

[@makocrab2223]

Part 6 seems like a forgotten game, coming at the tail end of the NES’ life, when most people were already looking ahead to the SNES. I’ve played through it a couple times, but I think it’s time to dust it off and give it another go. Thanks, and nice video!

[@RockinKatReviews]

Yeah MM6 falls into such a strange timeline but a lot of those later nes games look so good. Lmk when you playthrough. Would like to hear some of your thoughts on the power ups and adapters

[@MosoKaiser]

Already looking ahead to the SNES? MM6 was released in November 1993 in Japan and March 1994 in the US. The SNES was firmly established by then.

[@UnitNo.2]

Mega Man 6 is amazing. I was fortunate to grow up with the series and it was awesome seeing it evolve through the years. Especially once they got to MM6.

[@RockinKatReviews]

Agreed! 6 always felt special to me. The new adapters and global robot contest made it feel like a big deal. Capcom was on another level for the time

[@throwbackswiththetechnodrome]

This video was a beautiful way to send off the series, despite the retrospective being finished I hope you continue to find ways to delve into the classic 6. You also perfectly captured the way I felt about SNES when it came out, it was mindblowing, the colors and sounds were a quantum leap forward and I loved playing the new games whenever I had an opportunity (I didn’t get a SNES until 1995), but NES still felt like home. You described the controls as stiff, and they certainly can be, but to me they just feel tight and somewhat more precise for certain games. Great content looking forward to seeing more. -Cast

[@RockinKatReviews]

@@throwbackswiththetechnodrome 🙏 I def will come back to the original 6 in some fashion. Maybe in a bigger MegaMan project from a lore based or story telling angle I do enjoy the story of the series just as much as the gameplay. MM7 will be next so it will be interesting leaping into the 16 bit MM games. I remember seeing MM7 briefly here and there but I don’t remember it being to heavily advertised. I did rent it a couple times early on but I think it was really just overshadowed due to the popularity of the X series. Would enjoy to hear your take on MM9 and MM10 since they went back to the classic 8 bit style

[@throwbackswiththetechnodrome]

@@RockinKatReviews maybe you can do a soundtrack comparison or rating (I’d love to weigh in!), or items and robot masters etc. I personally never get tired of content about the classic 6. Totally on point about 7, I honestly don’t think I knew it existed until I got the collection on Game Cube, I’m excited to see what you cover in your video! I bought Mega Man 9 on the Wii and loved it, but unfortunately didn’t get a chance to play it extensively before I sold my Wii. I do know that it felt very spiritually akin to 2&3 from what I remember, and had me yelling and punching couch cushions in frustration very quickly lmao. I didn’t play 10 again because I no longer had a Wii but I heard lackluster reviews. -Cast

[@RockinKatReviews]

@@throwbackswiththetechnodrome would def be down for something like that..especially highlighting the soundtracks. I had sorta the same issue with my Wii I had a few of the Konami WiiWare games like Castlevania Rebirth and Contra Rebirth that were exclusive to my Wii but my Wii has been out of commission and they never really made some of those Wii ware games available again. For mm9 I ended up recently getting the legacy collection for 9 and 10 bc I need to capture footage for the reviews so I’m going through 9 again and man it is super frustrating mainly some of the gimmicks they introduce. I think you would enjoy 10

[@throwbackswiththetechnodrome]

@@RockinKatReviews very cool, we subscribed to your channel so I’m looking forward to more Mega Man content in whatever form it comes! I think I’m going to hand to invest in that Anniversary Collection for the switch at some point. It’d be convenient to not have to hook up my NES any time I get the itch to play MM, and now that we’re talking about it I really want to give 9 another shot and tackle 10 too. The screenshots I saw of 11 didn’t interest me at all, what were your thoughts? -Cast

[@RockinKatReviews]

@@throwbackswiththetechnodrome 🙏 To be honest 11 grew on me over time. I really enjoyed the double gear system I think having the option to switch back and fourth on the fly was pretty fun and the fact that they gave the robot masters there own unique gear attacks was fun. I think if they brought the concept back in 12 and maybe tweaked it a little it would be even better but def think 11 was good

[@EdgedShadow]

I submitted Submarine Man to the contest back in the day.

[@RockinKatReviews]

That’s awesome do you remember any details of the sketch? The contest inspired me to sketch a lot of different fantasy themes. I missed the deadline but I did start drawing a great deal of MegaMan inspired characters after. I submitted a few sketches to Nintendo power back in the day for there editors corner where they would show off the hand drawn mail in letters. Was a great time to be a Nintendo fan!

[@shivasthong4924]

I agree. The Rush attachments are too fun (that jet

[@RockinKatReviews]

The Jet is super fun. Once i unlocked it i tend to play most of the stage with it 😆 Same with mm7 only I think they did a bit better job combining the two adapters together

[@edwardgaines6561]

Also, if Capcom wanted to make a Street Fighter-type with Megaman characters, MM6 would make a great foundation given the "tournament" motif. Of course, MegaMan made it to MVC!

[@RockinKatReviews]

I agree that would be a great setting especially with the various themes. Have you had a chance to play the MegaMan Power battles games and if so what are your thoughts on it?

[@edwardgaines6561]

@@RockinKatReviews Oh crap, I forgot about those games! Technically they do attempt the Street Fighter motif. To answer your question, they're passable but I'd like to see a Robot Master fighting game on par with Marvel Vs Capcom! Wishful thinking.

[@RockinKatReviews]

@@edwardgaines6561 that would be pretty awesome especially with the air combos of the likes of mvc2 or DBZ Fighter. The combos with a robot master with shadow Man or Someone like Gravity Man with specific physics would be nuts. Bass treble Combo could also have like infinite ideas 😆

[@Prmex1993]

Capcom should hold a contest again when the next game is in development. Great video!

[@RockinKatReviews]

Next contest should be for MVC 5!

[@TurquoiseStar17]

Wily Fortress 6 was the shortest and easiest. But from a narrative standpoint it makes perfect sense - he'd already spent a lot of time and resources on his next plan. While 6 was happening, Bass, Treble, and his robot masters from 7 were already built and hidden away somewhere. Another thing I enjoyed about this game was that sad musical style, as if they were saying goodbye to the Famicom/NES.

[@RockinKatReviews]

The bass and treble blueprint fits in very well.. I would really like to see more back story on Bass the same was Zero does in the X series

[@jaretco6423]

Nice video. Of all the classic Mega Man series, 6 is my favorite one. I liked the classic games. Don't get me wrong. But I feel like 6 is the most well polished and balanced game of the series. It defined many formulas from previous games, while also added features to make it more acceptable and loads of fun. The Rush Adapters were awesome, the Energy Balancer is an great addition that becomes very important for the series & the multiple branches in the level designs were genius. Combined with some of the best level designs in the series, awesome Robot Master's designs, great weapons, the difficulty; while on an easy side, still delivers some unique challenge to the platforming & such & has lesser obnoxious design moments, underrated soundtrack and the core gameplay being the same, MM6 is where I believed the series is at it's peak. Many would argue MM2, MM3 or even MM4 are the best games in the series. It's all subjective and I can understand it. But for me, MM6 is my top ranking classic Mega Man game and one of my top 10 favorite Mega Man games in general. Only behind X1, X2, X4, Zero 2, Zero 3 & Legends. Still an darn good game.

[@RockinKatReviews]

Agree with that take on so many levels. I always felt the series got stronger as it progressed on the nes. Just gave for so much more play style and ways to travel the game. I also think having those additional items and power ups really help ppl that are just getting into with the series w a bit more assistant for an already challenging platformer. Like E tanks you don’t have to use them you can totally just challenge yourself without them but the options are there to use the items. Def would like to hear your take on the zero series bc that’s one I still want to get into but haven’t gotten around to it

[@MegaManiac85]

Well said and yes mm6 was a great way to end the 8 bit era

[@RockinKatReviews]

Agreed I still would have loved to see the classic series stay in that 16 bit style a bit longer 7 was amazing and I enjoyed 8 too after

[@SegaHaterRick]

Fortunately for us the door closed for Sega 😂 great video!

[@RockinKatReviews]

Sega does what Ninten-don’t

[@rapappathepepper3996]

I like how you stayed optimistic with pretty much all of these. To be honest... There is no point in everyone hating something like Mega Man 5, sure we kind of peaked in 4, but 5, well, you can just have it as a fun extra, as well as 6, which is how you tackle these, we can just have fun.

[@RockinKatReviews]

Well said… I def agree with everything you just said. I think they also added just enough through the later half of the games to still make it feel like a unique experience while still giving you a solid MegaMan game. The adapters in my opinion in 6 is probably the best example I can think of. You by no means are required to use these power ups but it’s just great to have different means to progress through the games and that what I feel the later half of the games provide

[@robertosebastian5353]

Probably but not the canonical ending because this series went on for a few more games.

[@WildMalboro]

Da serie clássica o 6 junto com o 8 são os meus preferidos absolutos!! Amo as musicas do 6... amos os gráficos os chefes... para mim é um jogo perfeito!!

[@NintenDeen]

Hey! I've been enjoying your stuff. I'm doing a Mega Man run through on my channel too, but in my case it's basically my first experience. So I don't have the nostalgia, but I think for the most part my opinions of the specific games are similar to yours haha. Keep up the good work!

To me, the Megaman series were great games even with all the quirks they had, but man oh man did they have some goofy looking box art.

[@RockinKatReviews]

The box art is pretty crazy especially those Pal Euro Box arts

@@RockinKatReviews US Box art was also more than just a little silly.

[@andrewmahaffy5802]

Original Japanese box art was a little more true to model.
