This game nailed the mechanic of making boss weapons work in levels as well as being specific weaknesses to bosses. Everything is useful.

At 2:45 I had no idea you could defeat that boss by punching the platforms back at it, and I had this game growing up and have beaten it dozens of times.

this was the first Mega Man game I ever played, I didn't even know it was part of a full series when I was a kid, I thought the roman numeral VI was the subtitle "Vi" not the number 6... yeah, I was a strange kid... wasn't until years later when I got to play Mega Man World 2 (gameboy) that I realized it was a series, and don't even start on the shock I felt when I discovered X lol

You can't hide that Whomp Em cart from me I SEE YOU! Fun fact! The actor used in the NES 2 commercial shown at 2:56 is Rick Gomez who played Endless Mike in The Adventures of Pete and Pete. He also voiced Zack in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII as well as the Kingdom Hearts games!

“But is it really wrong to give the people what they want?” Let me tell you this brother, I’m 42 and I check back weekly for your videos, they honestly sometimes keep me going :)

i remember owning this, it was basically the last nes game i got because I'd switched over to snes, but had most of the other mm games.

Its actually rather incredible to see just how much performance they squeezed out of the humble little nes. MM6 is an extremely good looking game. I truly believe that hardware limitations breeds the creativity necessary to make the best games.

The last NES games were gorgeous (this and Kirbys Adventure). Really peaked right before obsolescence.

1:27 she did amazing with this one. Many of the stages feel like you're in the location. also the Final Battle theme feels like a grand finale theme.

This game almost feels like a blaze of glory for the NES. I had a SNES already when this came out, but I still played NES games. Of course, I played them less and less as time went on and I got the new releases coming out on SNES, but this game made me hook my NES to the TV for the first time in a long time play it for hours a day, just like I had in the late '80s. It was a fitting end to an era of video game history.

In the early generations of consoles, there was definitely a big upside to sticking around for the last bits of the previous generation once the new one came out. In the NES/SNES days, you definitely saw developers push the old consoles to their absolute limits, while they were still learning how to make the new stuff work. Kirby's Adventure, Mega Man 4-6, Ninja Gaiden 3, just to name a few. Sadly, it's not a phenomenon you see much of anymore. Most games are developed with PCs in mind, which are usually top of the tech tree now.

Thanks for being an inspiration for me to keep plugging away at it tho mate, especially after my PC dying and all. Even if you may not know that you had been like this for me. So thank you mate, keep doing what you do and just being you.

People have gotten too obsessed with the "bring something new to the table" mentality and it's bs. You know how I know it's bs? Because people still asking for HL3 and telling Valve to stop waiting for the latest and greatest technical revolution. And how many of us want MegaMan Legends 3 even if it plays basically the same as 1&2 but with nicer graphics? There's nothing wrong with wanting something different or new in a sequel game but I think it's absurd to think that devs should always be pushing to bring something new in. Especially if you are finding yourself more invested in the story than gameplay

Part of me was always bummed out, as a kid, that my family had moved on from the NES by the time this game came out, and I never played it on original hardware. But man, as far as the NES Mega Man games go, this is impressive just because it feels like such a culmination of what the team learned how to do with the series and put it all in here.

Awesome guide, 1:13:37 blew my mind, i had no idea you could do that!

Yes Saturday morning cartoons.... I had an aunt growing up that always got the WORST presents for all us kids... like when I was 13 she got me a Wheel of fortune watch made for 5 to 7 year olds...wouldn't fit my wrist hahahaha.... BUT in my 14th bday she got me MM5 AND MM6 ... forgave everything at that juncture...funny thing was she said she felt bad cause she forgot and just went to a local pawn shop and grabbed two video games that the cashier recommended. .. she felt bad for not putting thought into it ..the irony ... love u libby

The Mega Man Series is wonderful. I've always loved the diffrent types/elements of enemies. Also the music is absolutely amazing.

I have been waiting for this episode since I found this channel way back in its infancy

The unique thing about Mega Man franchise is that innovation is not needed. We just want the Blue Bomber the way he is, on a new mission hunting new robots with new weapons. It’s perfection!

All time classic. Great video! I can't wait to see what you post next!

Perfect timing!! I got through two bosses and I was getting confused on the order! Now I can learn the tricks! Thank you.

The boss design in this Megaman is pretty cool.

I was literally thinking earlier today that it would be cool if you covered Megaman 6, so imagine my surprise when this video popped up immediately!

I absolutely remember that sweepstakes to draw a MAN lol how badass man

I made it through this one recently and I've been waiting for this one. Wow, end of an era.

Im playing through this now, and using this video to help with boss level order. I'm trying to play first and check the video later. I'm at the Mr X stages now, and i have to say that having previously beaten 1-5, this may be my favourite yet. Its so well balanced, has numerous strategies, and encourages the use of boss weapons during the levels in a way i hadn't seen before. Thank you for doing this video, i have enjoyed the series so far, and this is a great way to end it.

38:38 there's interesting behind this enemy. Ben-K is named after classical Japanese warrior monk Saito Benkei. The backpack full of weapons on the robot is like the many weapons Benkei himself carried in his combat career. Seven weapons in total, all at once. He's the guy who basically went to the armory and when the quartermaster asked "How many weapons will you need today?" He said "Yes." 😀

This was my first introduction to the magman genre and my favorite game.

Real talk this is my favorite Megaman game ever. It is honestly close to being my favorite game of all time.

Thank you. Finally getting around to mega man on the anniversary collection thanks to you.

Mega Man 6 will always be one of my favorite Mega Man games despite it not being as original as the early entries. It’s a fine game, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. You can actually beat all of the robot masters with the mega buster, even though Centaur Man could be tricky. That’s why I always save him for last. And the music rocks! Whenever I hear the start of Yamato Man’s music, I always have the urge to sing “Go, Go Power Rangers!”

Much like MegaMan you have a great formula and give the fans what they want! GJ

Another great video! Thanks so much. It was a blast learning about this game as I played through. For me, I can see some small faults, but overall it is a very well balanced and fun game. A contender for my favourite in the series.

Note about Eddie: You can get by him before he tosses the power-up and go to the exit ladder. That way you can keep respawning him and he'll instantly be in place to toss the new power-up (this applies to every MM game he shows up)

What a nice surprise! Watching now

Finally! After asking for at least a year. It's here

Favorite Mega Man game among the six.

Love how Ucan starts up megamn fanfiction at the end there. And doesn't notice.

Dr. Wily is so proficient at making robots, we know he can even make robots that look like himself. He did this once in Mega Man 3... perhaps even twice given that he gets crushed by a falling block at the very end of that game, yet mysteriously survived without any issue. So, maybe even if there doesn't seem to be much going on with this story, there's More Than Meets the Eye (bad robot/Transformer reference) here. :) What I think happened was that Dr. Wily was also a robot in this version, and they did nothing more than imprison that robot at the end of the game, not the real Dr. Wily. Even the Dr. Wily that posed as Mr. X was a robot. The robot Mr. X was all part of a sophisticated plan by Dr. Wily to replace the formerly defeated Syndicate boss from the Streets of Rage series who was defeated at the conclusion of Streets of Rage 2. Thus Mr. X / Dr. Wily founded RoboCy Corporation leading into everything that happened in Streets of Rage 3. Okay, that's probably not what happened... 😆 but on the other hand, is it a mere coincidence that both of those games were released within a few months of each other in 1993-1994? 🤔

I’ve been waiting for this one since the 5th part dropped! By now, I managed to beat it myself (as well as 7 and X1+2), but I always come back every once in a while to this particular series to watch your videos. Always so entertaining and fun, no matter how many times I rewatch them. Happy to add another one to the playlist! Excited for the next one already. Will you go to X1 or 7? Going by release date? All I know is the wait is worth it!

Brilliant video as always. Loved it. Bird on bird violence made me lose it. Good stuff I assume the next megaman vid will be tougher to do, since those get more complex (like different stage looks depending on which bosses you fight first)

Now this game and Mega Man 5 are very Expensive!!! thanks for this video!!!

I'm glad you finally got this one done! My 2nd favorite of the NES six games (2 is always first). Great soundtrack (2 and 5 are better). Nice selection of robot masters. What's annoying to me is that the best weapon takes exactly 7 hits every time. There isn't an instance where a weapon is just THAT effective to defeat its target in like 3 or 4. Gone are the days of Bubble Lead wiping out Heat Man in 3 hits. I once did a test like you where I tried all weapons out and came to the same conclusions. I will admit that I had no idea how useful the Power Adapter was against the X and Wily stage bosses. I did see a clip on Facebook of someone using it against one of them. I want to say it was the big swinging ball. I hope you'll consider going forward with 7+ at some point.

I've been waiting for this one to come out... Sure, I could have joined the Patreon for UCBVG, but I believe that good things come to those who wait, and thus I waited patiently for MM6 to make the list. Now to wait for MM7 and the first three MMX games...

I must say, I am enjoying the creative uses that you are finding for all of the game's special weapons! I consider MM6 to have one of the weaker sets of special weapons, so this is cool to see!

Might as well comment on a comment in the YamatoMan section: The Benkei (Ben-K?) enemy is named for a famous Japanese warrior back around the mid-12th century who had a genre-defining last stand while holding a bridge against a small army out to get his master. He held that bridge till the bitter end, making sure that the enemy paid with many more lives than his own. This is one of those famous historical events that Japanese media loves to reference. So those Ben-K robots are made in his metallic image, barring the way to all invaders.

Thanks for the upload!

Mega Man 6?Aaaaallllllllll right!

Man, I really loved this game and would pop it in when I could. There are a few things I didn't you could do with the Power Suit though. I'm going to have to try them out. Thanks!

Benkei is some legendary soldier who held off 40 dudes on a bridge and died standing up full of arrows to buy time for his master Yoshitsune who yeeted his family and committed seppuku so they wouldn't be taken prisoner and tortured

Was hoping you’d get to this one! One of my favorites of the original series

Some clarifications about my Knight Man entry. Capcom did misspelled my name in the game, though I blame my lousy handwriting at the time; I never could quite write in cursive... I almost never got my prize because similarly, they misspelled the name of the street I lived on. Sadly, I never got to play Mega Man VI as at the time, all the video game renting places in my small town had exclusively switched to SNES games. Then when I moves later, well, life happened... Finally, it was refreshing to see my original entry again. I did remembered the crest of spikes on the head, the helmet-shaped head, and the cross on the chest, but I had forgotten I went with a black, grey, and red color scheme.
