Each of the revisited stages contains two fights with Doc Robot K-176, who takes on the attack pattern of one of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 2. These aren’t quite the same, as Doc’s sprite is bigger than even Wood Man, and he’s often slightly more difficult in other ways. However, we’ve got a […]

A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: The Robot Masters
Editor’s Note: We have something different going on with the pics now; just click to enlarge. One oddity about Mega Man 3‘s boss fights is that each one takes four damage from its own weapon. They also have minor (two damage) weaknesses to weapons other than their main weakness, but I’m going to avoid talking […]

Shadow Man Revisited The initial drop has had some spikes added, with two more waiting at the bottom for players who stick with the leftward slant of the previous screen. This is the good kind of instant death trap, since players can avoid it by holding right as long...A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: Needle Man Revisited

Needle Man Revisited Much like the original, this starts with a few Hari Harrys, with the addition of a small spike pit at the end. Lasers make quick work of them. The spike section is more intense this time, and the spike gives players something to think about when...A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: Gemini Man Revisited

Gemini Man Revisited The first section trades Pepe for Jamacy, which quickly crawls along the ground when it doesn’t have a ladder to climb. Pepe was a better partner for Nitron here as it was strong enough to provide a distraction, while this time both enemies...“Turn of Events” Album Pays Tribute to Mega Man 3

That’s what Hyde209 has passed along to us with his tribute album, “Mega Man 3 – Turn of Events.” You can check out what’s available in the playlist embed below, and follow his YouTube channel for more on Wednesdays and […]

After the first 8 stages, Mega Man 3 takes an interesting twist by making us revisit a different and often more damaged-looking version of half of them. We’ll also be fighting new versions of the Mega Man 2 bosses here, but we’ll come to that later. For now, let’s look at the stages. With a […]

Alright, time to look through our inventory. Hard Knuckle Mega Man stops in place for a moment and fires his fist forward. It’s slow, and can be directed up or down slightly with the D-Pad. Though it does more damage than the buster, its speed often prevents it...A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: Shadow Man

Shadow Man’s Stage and Music Shadow Man starts with a vertical drop. The Neo Shotman is in a good spot since he doesn’t have to be fought, but the fall gives him enough time to lob a shot at you immediately. Aside from that, these screens are just an...A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: Gemini Man

Gemini Man’s Stage and Music The first section introduces two new enemies, Nitron and Bomber Pepe. The former moves across the screen from the right, after which it dives down in a arc while spitting three fire balls that create a wall for a moment, similar to...Rockman 3 Joining the 3DS Virtual Console Next Week
The monthly doses of classic Rockman continue in Japan, with the 3DS Virtual Console service receiving Rockman 3 next week, the 26th, for ¥500. This further strengthens my suspicions that Rockman may be getting monthly releases in honor of the 25th anniversary. Surprisingly, there’s still no word yet of any of the classic Mega Man […]
