What would a Nintendo Virtual Console be without Mega Man? Thankfully, we may never have to find out, as viewers of the above “sizzle reel” from Nintendo today caught a quick glimpse of the Blue Bomber blasting bots in his original adventure. And for those worried about the prospect of shelling out $5 for a […]

As previously reported, the NES game Mega Man 3 is now available for $4.99 on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in North America. Anything else you need to know? LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn

As part of a congratulations for Street Fighter X Mega Man surpassing one million downloads, Capcom Unity has today announced that Mega Man 3will be hitting the Virtual Console on the Nintendo 3DS next week on the 14th.

Now here’s an arrangement I can really get behind! Chiptune artist RushJet1 (whose work has been featured on the album Chiptuned Rockman), brings us a chiptune arrangement of Mega Man 3‘s superb soundtrack nine months in the making. But wait, doesn’t MM3 already have chip programmed music? That’s the thing, this arrangement uses Konamis VRC6 […]

Wily Stage 2 Here we see a return of the floating platforms from the second visit to Shadow Man’s stage, except this time they act only as a minor annoyance on the way to a few more items. There’s a split in the path with one way leading to an extra life, but unlike previous […]

After the Doc Robot stages, we enter a stage titled “Break Man,” where we fight a ~mysterious~ robot who fights exactly like Proto Man, with the exception that he is immune to all special weapons.
