Play Mega Man 6 Online

Mega Man 6 came out in 1993 for the NES, developed and published by Capcom. It was one of the later releases on the console, arriving when the Super Nintendo was already well established, so it felt like a polished, confident entry in the series rather than a risky experiment.

You control Mega Man, running, jumping, and shooting through themed stages to defeat eight Robot Masters. Your main goal is to progress through each stage, defeat its boss, and acquire its unique weapon to use against others weak to it. Two signature mechanics are the Rush adaptors, which let Mega Man combine with his robotic dog to briefly fly or power through obstacles, and the energy tanks you collect to restore health during tough boss fights. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty, while challenging, feels fair and learnable through repetition. It feels satisfying to master the timing of jumps and enemy patterns while swapping between weapons for maximum effect.
