Description
Mega Man X6 by Capcom, released in 2001. Sixth entry in the Mega Man X series. Action-platformer with X and Zero against Mavericks, new powers to unlock, and dramatic story for the end of the classic X series on PS1.
The European PAL edition of Mega Man X6, the last X-series entry on PlayStation, launched as the console was already giving way to the PS2. This very end-of-generation release had a particularly small PAL run, placing it among the hardest Mega Man games to gather complete in Europe. Desirability rests on its status as the last of the line and on the heightened scarcity of late-life PAL editions.
Memorable bosses
Known for its sometimes rough demands, this entry plunges X and Zero into a world gnawed by the Nightmare phenomenon. The eight Mavericks, the tough High Max and the enigmatic Gate chain snappy duels where precision rules. The stiff difficulty and tight patterns make it a divisive challenge, but the wealth of weapons and side routes rewards the persistent.
