What are the differences between Mega Man 1 through 6 on the NES? How many games had 6 installments on the NES? We had 3 Marios, 3 Castlevanias, 2 Contras, 3 Dragon Quests, 3 Final Fantasies, and I can't think of any franchises that got 4 or 5 NES installments off the top of my head. Can anybody else? I'm just drawing a blank, but right now off the top of my head it looks like at its debut it doubled the other big NES franchises.

Sliding, Charge shots, Rush Spring/Jet/Armor, Beat, Protoman...etc. Every game also had 8 new bosses and weapon power-ups (minus the original). Mario is still using the same mushrooms he used in 1989.

Go play the original Megaman game then go play Megaman 6. They play very differently.

 I kinda think the inovation tapered off towards 5 and 6 honestly.  That's probably one reason why 2,3 and 4 see more time in my NES rotation.  1 sees about as much time as 5 and 6 for me.
