Hollywoodcaddy | 72 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) I am willing to buy this mega man 6 variant but in my experience most collectors like me want to trade so we aren't really losing a game out of the collection...either way is fine for me this time...I'm very serious about finding and acquiring this mega man 6 variant so any help or any leads would be very much appreciated...thank all of you...you've all been so much nicer and been more helpful then anywhere else I have looked...a lot of class in here...I mean that...have a good one everybody!!!

Dr. Morbis | 2,088 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 You might want to change the code in your title to NES-G6-USA. Good luck with your search. I've been collecting since '99, and I've never seen one in person... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Good luck indeed. I consider that variant the white whale of the NES collecting community and there are probably at least 40 people here who are also looking. I'd pay a hefty sum for a cib copy, although probably not as much as it would fetch on heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there was a guy on NA that had a sealed one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywoodcaddy | 72 Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 Hey guys...you have been awesome...your levels of knowledge are quite amazing...I know coming in here as a new guy and asking about such a rare variant may rub a few people the wrong way since this seems like a tight knit community where a lot of you have known each other for quite a while...let me say again you guys have been great...very classy, very helpful!!! I know searching for this mega man 6 variant is going to be beyond tough but if you never ask out the prom queen then your chances of dating the prom queen is 0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gutsman004 | 83 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Honestly I would just try to get a cart and call it good. As a diehard Mega Man fan,I have seen maybe a dozen or so of these carts but never a cib copy,only the sealed copy that a member on here has. I would probably chop off my penis to acquire it but it’s definitely not changing hands likely ever. He also has a manual which that one is probably worth a right or left testicle...maybe both. Again,it’s not changing hands much to my dismay. There is a site called Mercado Libre which is like a central/South American/Latin oriented eBay that I used to frequent and I would see those carts pop up from time to time,but once people realized what those carts were and they started fetching good coin on eBay,those carts basically vanished off of that site. Most of the carts had moderate wear on them as well. Anyway,best of luck to you!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I should be revealing this, but that's what you can do with South American F2 carts, and I'm sure a lot of the ones floating around in American collector's hands right now weren't even actually released up here, and the owners don't even know it...

They're not worth as much as the USA released (or not released) non-Playtronic versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, but what is being suggested is that, much like F2, certain countries/regions of South America may have been sent manufactured but unused -USA labelled carts/CIB's to sell rather than having them field destroyed after Capcom decided against publishing the game in North America themselves...

I believe this is the case. Capcom told Nintendo they were not releasing MM6 in the US but everywhere else (For whatever reason), which is why MM6 isn't as rare as MM5 because Nintendo released it. Im under the impression that the USA region code is kinda 'meaningless' and just represents "NTSC", which Chile uses. Some of those lesser known titles that didn't sell great here got shipped over there which is why you'll see Samsons/F2s more commonly there. In fact its where I got my F2. This also doesn't seem to be unique to the NES but also Game Boy. Game Boy games are region free, so the only difference between the PAL versions and NTSC versions, are the circle vs. oval seal and the country code. But there are rare US Game Boy games, that were never printed for PAL, show up in Europe. Again because they didn't sell well. Which is why Stop That Roach, Swamp Thing, Amazing Tater all can be found in Europe. Anyway, I SEVERELY doubt anyone who has one here would sell it. Or if you'd REALLY want it, you'd have to find who has it and message em personally. I suggest try looking outside the US, to South America/Chile specifically.
