Mega Man 6/Trivia

• Contest Winner Cameo: Although having Robot Masters made from fan entries is a tradition going back to 2, 6 deserves a mention as it's the only one with Robot Masters designed by non-Japanese fans (Wind Man by Michael Leader of the United States, and Knight Man by Daniel Vallèe of Canada). These were picked from thousands of Nintendo Power entries in a cross-promotion.
• Network to the Rescue: Capcom decided it wasn't going to export the game out of Japan because the NES was nearing the end of its lifecycle and the SNES had been around for a few years already. But the Nintendo Power contest to design new Robot Masters for the game had already been completed, so to ensure the two contest winners would see the fruits of their labors, Nintendo released the game itself.
• No Export for You: Capcom decided not to publish this in North America, but Nintendo picked up the tab.
  • Europe didn't get a release at all.
