Letting the intro properly play out till you press start, now that's class 👌

[NintendoComplete]

My all-time favorite Mega Man game by far, and my favorite NES soundtrack. For the absolute best shooter/platformer on the NES, look no further.

13:10 Notice that Protoman only shoots when he's jumping because he doesn't want to hurt his own brother. Megaman just needed to dodge him. It took me over 25 years to finally notice that.

This game take me back to my childhood.. i spent a lot of time with this game . I miss this feeling

[MatthewTheWolf]

This game holds a lot of nostalgic memories. For me, this is one of the best games in the series. It was the game that introduced Rush and Protoman, it had a nice cast of bosses, the music is memorable, and the replay value is quite high. More than 30 years later, this is still a solid Megaman game.

That Intro, God....
The soundtrack is amazing, I think the best 8 bits.

Mega Man is so cute when he just stands around and blinks, lol.

I remember when I was 8yrs old spending so many nice summer days inside playing this game! That music takes me back to the good days 🥰

Mega man 3 is by far my favorite game of the whole series. Thank you sir for giving me the chance to experience that overwhelming sense of nostalgia.

That's crazy how the soundtrack brings back memories even before I saw the video I was humming songs from back then. Huge mega man fan even had a mm club back in the day .

Fun Fact: In Mega Man 3, all the robot masters are weak to their own weapons. (No, I'm not kidding. Try it when you get to the Robot Rush.)

[SouthernersSax]

It's been decades since I last played Mega Man 3, and only now do I realize what an absolute fever dream Gemini Man's entire stage was. You're fighting penguins and flying tadpoles throughout a strobing technicolor hellscape inside (presumably) the Moon, all to an unsettlingly catchy soundtrack.

What drugs _weren't_ the level designers taking?

[NapalmMan-fc]

For those who either had trouble with each of the 8 bosses, or are new to this, this is usually the weakness pattern:
Needle Man < Gemini Laser
Gemini Man < Search Snake
Snake Man < Needle Cannon
Top Man < Hard Knuckle
Shadow Man < Top Spin
Spark Man < Shadow Blade
Magnet Man < Spark Shock
Hard Man < Magnet Missile

Metal Man < Magnet Missile
Quick Man < Gemini Laser
Air Man < Spark Shock
Crash Man < Hard Knuckle
Flash Man < Needle Man
Bubble Man < Shadow Blade
Wood Man < Search Snake
Heat Man < Top Spin
Of Course, some of these bosses have multiple weaknesses, but this pattern is like a chain link of sorts.

Playing through these levels felt like forever as a kid

My favorite Mega Man game. The music and graphics are top notch. The stage themes for Magnet Man, Hard Man and Needle Man are my favorites!

[lisyladybug]

My now 6 year old just discovered mega man on his switch through the genesis add on and he’s obsessed 😭😭😭 I’m so proud!

[aliciasmo]

The best megaman game in my opinion. Why? for many reasons: Outstanding music and characters! <3

[furybbx]
