The Nintendo ROM hacker Infidelity, already known for porting classics like The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Punch-Out!!, and the first five Mega Man games from the NES to the Super Nintendo, has now added Mega Man VI to his collection.

Developed by Capcom, this is the sixth and final episode of the Mega Man series released on the NES. The game originally came out in Japan under the name Rockman 6: The Greatest Battle in History!!. Despite the technical limitations of the console, Capcom managed to make the most of it with more detailed backgrounds and polished sprites.

Often seen as a kind of best of the previous entries, Mega Man 6 combines the key elements of the saga while refining the experience. Released late in the NES's life cycle, it unfortunately suffered from less visibility, overshadowed by the arrival of the Super Nintendo.

This port by Infidelity pays it a great tribute by offering a smoother version, free from the NES's performance issues, notably by expanding the ROM size. This allows for improvements impossible on the original hardware, such as better quality audio or even FMV-style cutscenes (Full Motion Video, which are pre-recorded video sequences).

It’s therefore a new opportunity to dive back into the adventure: face the eight Robot Masters, copy their weapons, and progress to the final boss. This port even lets you choose between the Japanese and American versions of the game — a relevant choice for preserving the authenticity of the different versions of this title.
