Mega Man X6, also known as Rockman X6 in Japan, is a singleplayer side view scrolling platform game developed by Capcom. It is the sixth main entry in the Mega Man X series.

SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows Vista and later (see above for affected versions).

A port of the game based off the PlayStation version was re-released as part of Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2.

Version differences

The Korean version has most of Japanese voice clips restored, unlike the English version it's based upon, while the Traditional Chinese version is based on the US version, but modified to use a strange combination of mixing Japanese title logo to International title background and includes SafeDisc DRM.
