@NintendoBMA Nintendo published it in NA. Don't think Rare got their logo on the front for their Nintendo published games on the NES, either, for instance.
Edit: Interesting bit of trivia from Wikipedia - Capcom chose not to publish the game outside Japan. Instead, Nintendo of America published it in March 1994. Before the NES era in North America was about to end, Nintendo of America made a plan to help sell it along with Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II and the NES version of Wario's Woods, which were also published by Nintendo in North America during the same time. Their plan was to release the top-loading NES-101 for a retail price of $49.99 to attract consumers to buying the updated version of the original NES along with one or more new titles for the console, including Mega Man 6.
Snark aside, great game. Kirby's Adventure, Star Tropics 2, and Mega Man 6 were excellent swan songs for the NES by Nintendo in NA. Picked up each back in the day well after the SNES was alive and kicking.
You have to go digging for it, though, as it's in the middle of the list of physical rewards on the My Nintendo site (at least the mobile version). No visible promotion of it yet, either.
Edit: Oh, or just click the source link at the bottom of the story : )
I'd like to see Nintendo put some resources behind making much smaller and inexpensive gaming experiences, similar to DSIWare and WiiWare. SwitchWare or some such name. Combat the glut of inexpensive slop on the eShop with slightly more expensive but polished games that don't take up much space. Blue Ocean/Gunpei Yokoi type stuff. That won't help the hardware costs, but storage costs become much less of an issue. Plus, you get more pick-up-and-play experiences, perfectly fitting your portable system, and parents will be relieved of some of the pressures of buying the next $80 game.

Awesome jet pack beats weird robot busts.

Tarrey Town for me. From both BOTW and TOTK. Extended play ftw.
I also listened to a surprising amount of Wii Weather tracks.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2 GameCube Library With Wario's 3D Outing
Internet Archive has the Nintendo Player's Guide for this. Just a heads up for anyone interested.
Excited to give it a go after I'm done with MP4.

Re: Reminder: Virtual Boy For Switch And Switch 2 Are Available On The My Nintendo Store
@JJtheTexan Same here. Think you're in good shape.
Edit: The site is working for me, again. And it's showing up in my order history.
