Mega Man 3 Hitting 3DS Virtual Console Next Week

I've never played any of them, so I plan to get them all.

I really doubt Capcom is making a new Mega Man. It would be great to be wrong, though.

This is the best one in the series so I'm looking forward to this immensely! Say what you want about Mega Man 2 - Mega Man 3 is a solid successor.

It's good to see that Mega Man is still on track to have at least one game hit NOW coming out a month at a time. If only CAPCOM would at least have a DAM answer as to why Mega Man II - Mega Man V never showed up for GAME BOY on the 3DS VC after Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge.

I would get these, but I already have the Anniversary Collection for GameCube which has all the Mega Man NES through SNES. I would definitely pick up any Mega Man games that were exclusive to handhelds since those didn't make it into the Anniversary Collection.

Also, I have a difficult time seeing the graphics on my 3DS because the viewport is the size of a postage stamp. Some Virtual Console games don't bother me like Link's Awakening, but other's I can hardly see the character. Is this any better on the XL?

@gundam00 Yes... twice the size better in fact

Maybe this also means we're closer to see MM6 in Wii VC.

too bad game genie won't come to virtual console. it makes all games so much more fun because you don't have to worry about running out of weapons or dying.

Man... I got excited but it's American v.c. Fingers crossed!!! Come on Europe!

Maybe ports of 9 and 10 on the 3DS eShop? :3

I'm happy for anybody who wants this. But, it annoys the Hell out of me on a number of levels.

First, as @3DSLuigi pointed out, what about the other Mega Man Game Boy games that HAVEN'T been released anywhere else yet? There are so many places and ways you can get the NES Mega Mans, but those Game Boy games (I think) only have their original releases on GB. They are not widely available at all. Second, as a couple of you mentioned, Mega Man VI never even made it to Wii VC! There is no consistency at all on Capcom's part (which is no surprise to me, since they've been in "Crapcom" mode). They are just all over the place! Finally, yet another NES game that is already available on Wii VC, when we could be getting a new Game Boy/GBA game! As I mentioned in a prior post, Game Boy/GBC games are better sellers, according to the 3DS VC top 20. So, why the NES obsession? Since, as we know, Nintendo is incapable of releasing more than one VC game a week on a particular system, Mega Man III will be all we get this Thursday. And the weeks the next 3 are released, it'll be the only 3DS VC game for those weeks as well.

Don't get me wrong. I'm always happy for VC support, and Mega Man III is one of the greats! The aforementioned matters still tick me off, however. I'd so much rather see Mega Man II GB, or one of the Zelda Oracles.

I would pick this up but I seem to be no good at playing these games.I do however love the music of this series as it has some of the most memorable tunes I have heard.

@DkFluttershyGuy: Hey, quit complaining... Be happy we will have the all 6 NES Mega Man games on the go!

I'm getting allodem!

I want the GB games

Give us the GB games, not the NES games.

We want GB VC for the 3DS, not NES! Good grief Nintendo.

Why don't we get good VC Titles?

Capcom knows what we want megaman legends 3 or the another canceled megaman universe but sadly those 2 games it wont see the light of day

If these were all 3D Classics I would be buying them all. but since ive played them already just no reason for me to buy

At last, my favorite Mega Man game of all time.

This is great news! I'm getting them all.

This is the best mega man game ever!, it has shadow man, my favorite robot master created by dr. wily, the introduction of my favorite character protoman/blues and also the introduction of rush; everything on this game is classic and perfect. Sad thing is, the sequel is just garbage.

@scir91 That's the whole point. Old games were meant to be beaten the hard way

Would probably get this if I didn't have it on the Wii already. Easily my favorite of the classic Mega Men.

Please Europe, stop lagging behind on the good releases.

@DkFluttershyGuy - I actually completely agree. The 3DS VC is where handheld games should be the priority. NES games are already available on the Wii VC where they should be. I understand why Nintendo released 10 of them as part of the Ambassador program, and even why they decided to then release those titles to the public. Why they decided to then release many more of them is just a confusion though.

With many great GB/GBC titles still to come and the complete absence of GBA titles at all, it's really confusing why Nintendo don't have their priorities right. Part of the reason I bought a 3DS in the first place was for the opportunity to buy many of my favourite GB/GBC/GBA games and have them on one system.

The lack of all other handheld platform games promised is also a concern, although not too much of a problem personally as I never played any of them on their original systems.

@SarcasticWisdom: What are you talking about? These ARE good VC titles!

I love MM3 (far more then I did 2) but I don't think I will be re-buying it for the 3ds.

Awesome. Just don't forget about MM II-V after you are done with the NES games, Capcom. Also, it would be nice to see 6, 7 and X3 on the Wii VC too.

I would prefer to play MM6 on my Wii instead on a handheld...

@Dpishere Yeah, I'm not very good at this series either. They are classics but possibly not a series that I can get into. I'll agree with you though, the music is pretty darn catchy.

@SarcasticWisdom Mega Man III is one of the best games ever. I would like to hear of how this is a bad game.

I agree with others wanting 6, 7, and X3 on the VC and GB II-V on the 3DS VC. I don't know why Capcom is focusing only on the NES games to the point of senselessly ignoring the Wii VC.

I recently got Mega Man 2 for 3DS VC and am very surprised at how well it suits my XL! It's also great to play on the go! Will be getting Mega Man 3 when it's released!

^ Ew. That smiley is the worst : D I've ever seen.

i doubt 6 will come to the Wii VC Capcom stated that they was not going to support the Wii VC any longer, I for one am not Re-buying the MM1-5. i will buy 6 if it just comes out on the 3DS

MM6 for Wii VC?? Capcom is lying

Hope the games will also come to the Wii U VC. Playable on the Game Pad, with Miiverse integration and running in 60 Hz.

Capcom SHOULD work on releasing the rest of the GB Mega Man games since they are intent on releasing all of the NES titles for the 3DS VC. It's only right AND it's very hard on getting any one of the GB games, let alone if you got the original Game Boy or a Game Boy Advance to play them on. Make it happen, Capcom!! You know you want our $$$$!

YES!! 3 was easily my most favorite despite how long it took to beat with the addition of fighting Gamma controlling 8 additional bosses from old. That part of it was amazing. 4 wasn't actually that far off, either, 5 was good, and 6 was a little odd with Rush's new abilities. I can't wait til these hit eShop!
