I'm shocked this never came to wii VC. it seems to be the best of the 4-6 series
cant wait nintendo hope it comes out in usa
any word if this will be on 3DS VC this year? 1-5 were rapidly released but 6 seems to be missing..
6 is the only one of the NES originals that i have never actually played through.
Will be out in June sometime, they were releasing them one/month from January - May.
When it came out I decided to get it, it was only 5$ and since I knew mega man is going to be in Super Smash Bros. for 3ds I wanted to see what his original game looked like. I don't mind the graphics at all. The old pixilated look is actually pretty cool. The thing I'm still getting used to is the actual game play. I have been playing Super Mario Bros., Super Smash Bros., Wario Land, and other platform games but even the very old versions of them are nowhere near the same as Mega Man 6 controls. After a while you do get used to it but anyone who has not played mega man games before, be prepared for some strange feeling controls.
Other then that the game is great, there are some great challenges in there and it is only 5$!
Red Suit MM is what the creator had always wanted to do with him but never had the chance. I really love the fact that between him and Rush makes an entirely new Suit. Sad part it is useless in the next game.
