At long last, the world is at peace.
Wow! Where Mega Man 5 felt like Capcom sitting on their hands, Mega Man 6 feels like a swansong for the Blue Bomber’s run on the NES. A very inventive set of new fan-designed Robot Masters, fun weapons, and fantastic level design ensure that this one goes down easy. There’s even a jetpack suit! This has been my favorite of the NES series, without question, but it’s a bit on the easy side. Every second of this feels like Capcom telling players that Mega Man’s best days are ahead.
