It's robot rebellion, and nobody's safe! Least of all, Mega Man! This time the superpowerful cyborg takes on a horde of metal maniacs who've had it with being obedient! And they use every android-annihilator ever invented to make you believe it! Mega Man goes berserk, blasting through a galaxy of mining stations in search of energy crystals. But it takes more than guts to battle the phenomenal robot masters who control these worlds. It's a wrenching job, the worst - and the best - that Mega Man's faced so far!

This game apparently takes place in space, across multiple planets, and the game mentions this zero (0) times???

It's pretty good, I didn't liked it as much as mega man 2 tho

Okay, so Mega Man 3 brought back those classic NES feels. The challenge, those catchy tunes – reminded me of staying up way past bedtime mashing buttons in my friend's basement. It's a little rough around the edges, and you might wanna practice that slide move, but it's a blast from the past if you're up for it.

The stage design gets overly gimmicky at times and the mere existence of Top Spin costs this game at least half a star but man oh man, that soundtrack is the stuff of legends.

In my eyes, Mega Man 3 is where the series finally got into gear, and the formula that Mega Man 3 perfected would pave the way for the remaining 4 NES Mega Man games to be some of the best platformer games on the system. This is a bit of a departure for me, since it’s the first review I am writing of a game I really enjoyed rather than one I disliked, so we’ll see how I do. This game perfected the core gameplay loop of the boss order, has good stages, and has the best visuals the series had ever seen at that point in time. It even had more content than the prior two games, as well as many quality of life improvements and touches of polish that make it one of the best in the series.
