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
@@Talyannn No. There are far fewer bugs/glitches in it than the previous Mega Man games. You can go to the Mega Man wiki and look them up. MM2 and 3 have an entire page's worth.
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!
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.
Kudos for all your hard work on this channel. Your playthroughs are very interesting and engaging, even when I'm indifferent to the game(s) being played (i.e. Paper Boy, Back To The Future, etc). And I always appreciate the brief history lesson you include with every game you cover.
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.
“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 :)
Actually, the Famicom officially died in 2000, so there were smaller Japanese companies that were still making games officially for the video game console past 1994.
Such a fun game that I still play to this day. MM3 will always be my favorite of the NES series, but MM6 is a worthy addition that looks and plays great.
The Ben K is called that because of the Japanese legend of a warrior monk called Benkei. The legend says that Benkei was on a quest to obtain 1,000 swords from samurai in Kyoto through duels. A similar character shows up in Okami, though that character's obsession has to do with fishing, not swords.
I freaking love this game! I played it years ago as a teen. I was barely able to survive it, but it was crazy good fun. With an in depth guide like this... I think I might give this game another run! Killer video! 🤘
Yay, another UCBVG!!! Been waiting awhile for Mega Man 6, glad to see it! I have even an avid Mega Fan since Mega Man 2 first released in 1989, and haven't looked back since!
I was given this game as a birthday gift when I was a child and its still my favorite NES entry. Incredible soundtrack and I had a blast finding all the secrets!!
1:37:06 They reused that theme in the Mega Man 7's intro on the SNES. And it's melodically very similar to Mega Man 2's legendary intro (which was also a tribute to the former title's Credits theme).
My only NES Megaman game that I owned and my second favorite classic Megaman game (Megaman 7 is number 1.) I beat this game multiple times as a kid and I found out a few years ago about the Energy Equalizer. Thanks for finally covering this game.
Am I the only one who's going to point out that when you shorten the First Annual Robotics Tournament to a set of acronyms it spells out: F.A.R.T. You're welcome😅😂
my favorite part of mega man games are discovering all the hidden interactions between enemies and the special weapons. With your videos I was finally able to beat mega man 1-6, thank you for the hard work that goes into these! I know its not your style to do more modern games but I would love videos on mega man 9 and 10 someday :)
I mean, considering it was about 11 years between Mega Man 8 to Mega Man 9 and about 8 years between Mega Man 10 and Mega Man 11 so I guess at this point anything is possible. I kind of hope a Mega Man 12 comes out soon.
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!
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.
I always scratch my head when people say MM6 does not do anything new. What about the FLIPPING ADAPTER?!? That’s half the reason I like MM6. It’s a power suit/Jet pack that is not in the other 5 nes games. You can almost play the whole game as Jet-Rock😮
It's new... but... it's still just a rush adapter. The flying form is a variation on the jet. the power form i don't think has any variance, but it's pretty limited use logistically. That plus the story is the worst one lol, and the game play is by far the easiest.
@@paxhumana2015 Is it? I have beaten MM6 multiple times. I have lots of trouble with Megaman 1. Don't get me wrong - 6 is not easy at all. But I find 1 harder.
So glad you are back on Mega Man. RPGs really aren't my thing, so Ive not watched in a while. Not complaining! Happy to see you succeed with any videos, but extra happy for the ones I used to play.
Man, I've beaten Mega Man 1 through 11, but I'm still going to watch this.. I love all your videos because of the history lessons, insights, and things I didn't even know about that you talk about.. in short, you're the man, Mr. UCBVG! Edit: One small note.. at 0:50, you have Mega Man 11 listed as 12, when MM12 hasn't been made yet. I'm sure it was a typo or an oversight or whatnot, but was just bringing that to your attention.
"Power Piston often is out of range of the normal buster" So fun story, theres a small youtuber by Roahm Mythril who long time ago did Perfect Runs (No damage, buster only, no charge) of the classic megaman games. He eventually did the castle stages and this boss alone was most of the episode because it just refused to come low enough to get hit with the buster
You should make a super cut video with all the beginning sections of each NES megaman. I love the lore preface sections of your work. And those are some of the best. They would make for great bonus content.
I don't get to catch you as much as I used to when you vids first drop, but just know, I've not stopped watching this whole time. I'm so proud to have had the luck of watching this channel grow into what it is now. And the quality and extra info you add into the video's has gotten so much better too! Well done mate, congratulations! I don't know if you remember me but I started doing uploads of my Twitch VoDs around when you started out. Sadly, I had PC issues so my poor channels taken a massive hit over the months of downtime. BUT I was glad that didn't happen to you when you've done the bigger games recently. 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.
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!
I honestly hate when game reviewers do that. “A lack of innovation, or new features hurts this release.” New features can be awesome and can really spice up a game if done correctly, but I’ve always been of the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mindset.
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
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.
I think the game you're describing during the end credits is basically the plot of Mega Man & Bass. The initial villain King is introduced as a robot leading a revolution, only to end up being another one of Wily's creations.
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
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!
I remember when I finally got to play this it was on an emulator. It was the odd man out really because I was playing every RPG I missed at the time since some had translation patches drop. I think at the time I was playing Radia Senki or Chronicles of Radia and took a break by playing this game. I can't help but remember that game because it had real time RPG combat with full cutscenes. This was probably because the Ninja Gaiden team was behind it but it's funny how the two games are forever linked in my memory.
Another fun trick in Wind Man's stage. If you go to him as the third robot master you face, and you jump on the last fan (where UCBVG said to just walk across), you'll go up into the spikes and die. Do that enough times, and you'll get a Game Over screen. And then you can, provided you were a kid in the 90s, go outside and play with your friends in the neighborhood. Then you can come back to it after they all had to go inside and go to sleep, sneaking out of your bed. Unless you had a childhood like mine, where you had playing outside AND video game sessions/parties, in which your childhood in terms of being entertained was full of MASSIVE wins.
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.
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.
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...
Hey great channel man! I ran into your stuff a few years back, I should have subscribed then. Keep up the good videos, they bring me back to my childhood in the mid eighties!
Your cover images really do remind me of the old Nintendo Power covers! As for the game itself, I too have become a convert to the Wind Man first boss order- he's pretty easy to beat with the Mega Buster, and his weapon makes it way easier to beat Flame Man. The Flame Blast is arguably the best of the boss weappns, so you are then set up to steamroll all regular enemies.
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!”
Dang you make it seem so easy that I could possibly beat Willy once and for all. Seriously I usually would get burned out trying to fill up all my E tanks and subweapons after failing a few times.
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.
My favorite of the 6 NES titles, and not without reason. This game is amazing in both visuals and gameplay.
Also, the Silver Tomahawk is my favorite weapon in the series.
This was the first Mega Man game I ever beat.
I thank you from the bottom of my soul for this, yo.

This was such a polished game. Capcom was squeezing every last ounce out of the NES with this one.
No. there are quite a lot of bugs in it
@@Talyannn No. There are far fewer bugs/glitches in it than the previous Mega Man games. You can go to the Mega Man wiki and look them up. MM2 and 3 have an entire page's worth.
I loved using the Jetpack in this game. Wish it would have carried on in future megaman games
@@CC-bm3wbMaybe it's just a coincidence but the Falcon and Gaia Armor in MMX5 sort of feel like a call back to MM6's armors

Pain hurts.
Well, that’s just common sense. I’m very sure Mega Man isn’t fireproof.

Pain is the best teacher
Flame Man's weapon is humble, but the angle makes it so effective.
I LOVE the music in his stage, too!
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.
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.
A nice finale to the NES entries
It was really bugging me that he hadn't done the last one yet 😂.

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!
The Krion Conquest is also a pretty good Mega/Rock Man clone as well.
Saturday Morning UCBVG! ❤️
And with this, there are no more Mega Man games on the NES to do a guide on.....
But we do still have the Game Boy games, and the SNES games
Mega Man 7 could be covered. And, well...We *could* count Mega Man 9 & 10 as NES games.
And then there's the battle network and legends games that when combined will take decades to make guides for.
And they just added the Game Boy games to NSO

Real talk this is my favorite Megaman game ever. It is honestly close to being my favorite game of all time.
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
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!
I remember when I finally got to play this it was on an emulator. It was the odd man out really because I was playing every RPG I missed at the time since some had translation patches drop. I think at the time I was playing Radia Senki or Chronicles of Radia and took a break by playing this game. I can't help but remember that game because it had real time RPG combat with full cutscenes. This was probably because the Ninja Gaiden team was behind it but it's funny how the two games are forever linked in my memory.
Now this game and Mega Man 5 are very Expensive!!!
thanks for this video!!!
Another fun trick in Wind Man's stage. If you go to him as the third robot master you face, and you jump on the last fan (where UCBVG said to just walk across), you'll go up into the spikes and die. Do that enough times, and you'll get a Game Over screen. And then you can, provided you were a kid in the 90s, go outside and play with your friends in the neighborhood. Then you can come back to it after they all had to go inside and go to sleep, sneaking out of your bed. Unless you had a childhood like mine, where you had playing outside AND video game sessions/parties, in which your childhood in terms of being entertained was full of MASSIVE wins.
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.
Much like MegaMan you have a great formula and give the fans what they want! GJ
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.
This is probably my favourite MegaMan game
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...
Hey great channel man! I ran into your stuff a few years back, I should have subscribed then. Keep up the good videos, they bring me back to my childhood in the mid eighties!
Your cover images really do remind me of the old Nintendo Power covers!
As for the game itself, I too have become a convert to the Wind Man first boss order- he's pretty easy to beat with the Mega Buster, and his weapon makes it way easier to beat Flame Man. The Flame Blast is arguably the best of the boss weappns, so you are then set up to steamroll all regular enemies.
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!”
Dang you make it seem so easy that I could possibly beat Willy once and for all. Seriously I usually would get burned out trying to fill up all my E tanks and subweapons after failing a few times.
