Mega Man 3 Revamped (NES) - Longplay
Don't forget like, comment, subscribe and hit the notification bell icon, also share the video, thanks for watching!
Three years ago, a hack of Mega Man 3 called “Mega Man 3 Ultimate” was released by romhacker TheSkipper1995. It was meant to be a relatively simple hack built on top of KujaKiller’s “Mega Man 3 Improvement”, rebalancing some of the game’s level design and difficulty curve. At the time, the hack was considered satisfactory if a bit conservative in its changes to the base game.
Early this year, at the behest of fellow romhacker DangerDoodle, TheSkipper1995 was convinced to continue work on Mega Man 3 Ultimate with some simple graphical updates. Over the next several months, however, with the programming assistance of KujaKiller, DurfarC, and MartsINY, the project grew into something far more substantial than Mega Man 3 Ultimate. This is “Mega Man 3 Revamped!”
Mega Man 3 Revamped’s purpose is to be a highly polished and streamlined version of Mega Man 3 for people who may not have liked the original game due to its rushed, unpolished development.

megaman 3 finally got the love it deserved. it was rushed but now the things that got left out before are finally back in this game.
Glad to see Proto Man starts out as Break Man in this hack. It didn't make sense that he appeared first as Proto Man, reappears later as Break Man ONCE, then stays Proto Man again for the rest of the series. The Mega Man Megamix/Gigamix mangas also introduced him as Break Man first, as the leader of the Sniper Joes and Mega Man point-black Mega Busters him in the face, destroying the face portion of the Break Man mask, then revealing Proto Man underneath. A way better introduction.

Its just a mask
Even with all the glitches and roughness, MM3 is my favorite Mega Man. Can't wait to see what you've done here!
This hack makes the Dr. Wily stages actually feel like real challenging stages; in the original version, they felt almost like those kinds of stages that you sometimes get as passageways on the way to the final boss lair, which have minimal challenge and have a bunch of items lying around everywhere.
Wow you played this, awesome. Just want to say, many little edits were done by me (programming-wise only) - like the extra event with breakman transforming back to proto before start of wily levels, the multi path support in wily 2, just a whole bunch of tiny little things here and there.

It's true there's un-used graphics present in the magnet man tileset. But i never intended to make a standard level hack with this project. I've said it to countless people over and over that i wasn't going to change any of the level designs like normal hacks. I wanted this to be as "romhack friendly" as possible so people can use MM 3 improvement for their own mm 3 hacks. It's best for a person to use mm3 improvement "first" as the base of their hack rather than going way too far in the hack developement "then" applying mm3 improve.

all those tiny changes really add up to a more polished and fun MM3 experience the Wily stages have been improved dramatically for instance. The intro probably should’ve mentioned Break Man/Proto Man though
This went from "Pretty neat" to "Extremely impressive" once it reached the Wily stages.

I actually found this revamped version only yesterday, and I replayed the Dr. Wily stage 3-4 all day long because the music is already awesome and the upgrades are so wonderful. Words can't describe how bad I want this game to be in the Mega Man 3 remake (as I voted in Capcom survey)
It's amazing how far a little bit of polish can go towards taking a good game and making it fantastic.
Playing this was delightful. New aesthetics and very clever level design brought new life in this underworked part.

I like how this just looks better and everything isn’t confusing as hell
Currently doing a playthrough myself- while I’m disappointed Doc Needle’s infamous Rush Jet section wasn’t fixed, this has otherwise been a really neat reimagining and fleshing-out of the game! All that’s left is Wily Castle... and my God did they ever fix the Wily Castle intro. Though as far as I know that could just be a change from Improvement (the mod this is based on).
Wow! This hack reminds me of how Simon's Quest Redaction improved CV2, onky with new level designs. I love how there's actually an intro, and how Mega Man's pose looks more like that of the Wily Wars version of MM3.

Apparently, Inafune was never very satisfied with Mega Man 3, because the initial development was a bit of a wreck and that meant the final game was basically cobbled together from whatever they could salvage. This is why there are so many things about it that are strange; it's the remnants of things they couldn't fit in the game. That said, aside from the intro, there's not a lot that feels like unplanned MM2 stuff.

Neat that they moved Wood man. Needle man 2 is virtually the same. Some changes were made for the sake of change, but all in all its a faithful conversion with a good learning curve for new player or seasoned Megaman players. I'll check it out. Only lets play I've ever watched the whole way through!
When I saw the video I really wanted to play it myself, and it was no exception... Megaman 3 has always been my favorite game that even if I repeat it I never get bored of it. Having played the improvement version I liked that it was polished and have a story... but seeing this version that added more things, better scenes and longer (especially Dr.Willy) this was really a smile on my face I enjoyed this version a lot, what's more... I enjoyed it like a child when I had bought it as if it were the day it came out...
This is fantastic work. You can tell the creators put some love into this, doing their best to make the game what I possibly could have been with more development time. As is, it’s my favorite game of all time, but seeing it like this is also fantastic. Maybe I’ll see it before the video ends, but did they do anything to make Spark Shock better as well?

Actually, contrary to what many believe, MM3 wasn't rushed. In fact, none of the Mega Man games were (not even X6. Check prototype screenshots to see what I mean). The real issue in hand is the lack of memory. Mega Man 3 was built in 3 megs, while this hack was built under twice the memory (6 megs), and yet, Mega Man 3 managed to cram in more stages than any other Mega Man game despite 4-6 being built on 4 megs. Almost all of the stages have new assets as well, even the Doc Robot stages with different, more "ruffled" tiles to build the terrain (ie Doc Needle and Doc Spark) which of course takes up more memory for base Mega Man 3. With more cart space however, more can be built, like this ROM hack proves.
If this Mega Man had a way to power up any weapon he receives after destroying a Robot Master like from the MMX series, here is what the names/effects would be for each one: Magnet Missile -- Magna Crush (A giant magnet appears -- pulling enemies and some bosses with enough force to do critical damage) Gemini Laser -- Gemini Flash (Same effects as Flash Man's time stopper; Allows MM to attack continuously w/ M-Buster until Weapon Energy is depleted -- Does not work against certain bosses) Needle Cannon -- Heavy Javelin (An attack that hurls a needle-encrusted spear at an enemy) Hard Knuckle -- Savage Fist (MM rushes at an enemy and punches VERY HARD -- Dealing massive damage; Enough to kill Top Man in 2 hits but depletes WE by half -- Whether it hits or not) Search Snake -- Eye of Medusa (Does what the name would imply -- Turns enemies into statues/stepping platforms. Useful if you're conserving Rush Coil or Rush Jet energy) Spark Shock -- Electro Pulse (Short circuits most enemies in one hit -- Works well against Magnet Man as it prevents him from using his powers to pull you in) Shadow Blade -- Bushido Edge (MM fires 2 Shadow Blades instead of one; Full damage effects are retained if used up-close and personal on Spark Man) Top Spin -- Tornado Zone (Same effects as Top Spin but the attack blows enemies upward to deal additional damage; Shadow Man is defeated in 2 direct hits instead of Top Spin's 4 hits) Not to be taken literally but would be fun to see -- ;)
I love that the stage gimmicks are introduced in safe environments that pose little threat to the player. It's that classic Megaman conveyance
Wow, great job to all the programmers and mod hackers who made this rom version of MM3. I imagine that THIS mod is exactly what Keiji Inafune and the other Capcom team members wanted the original game to be like.
One of my favourite games of all time! Great gameplay Amy Rose! One thing I’ve noticed and I like - a lot, is during the Wily Stage refights, rather than the music reverting to the boss music each time, the Wily Stage music continues instead, it sounds a lot better in my opinion. During the refights if you used the favoured weapon to defeat the boss with, the music lasts barely a few seconds otherwise lol.
When repeating boss fights on Wiley's stage, I think it's a great sense to keep the background music unchanged.
@awang_ir

Being someone who has the MM3 cart (I swear, it's in my closet right this moment), I do like the subtle changes to the menus, the addition of the prologue and just the overall QoL adjustments. From what I can tell, I only have two little things that I have thoughts on. The stage start screen, the boss preview needs to be centered better, it's too low. Also, and this is preference, on the Weapon Get...why not follow the Wily Wars example and have Mega Man flash white and come back with the new weapon colors? But, yes, overall, I do like the improvements.
Cool to finally see an intro

I sometimes ask myself where the MM2 bosses would end up if all 8 MM3 stages had Doc stages - you would need to make sure that they fit the stages' themes reasonably well and things like that. I guess that Air Man would be moved to Snake Man's stage, just because of that outdoor cloud part at the end of the original stage, and Wood Man might have been moved to Hard Man's stage since this would fit the wilderness theme with all the monkeys.

An interesting revamp. This was one of my favorite Mega Man games as a kid, despite its having been rushed. But why fight Shadow Man buster only? If you're wanting to show up the improvements of this rom hack, it seems like showing off Top Spin would be essential (especially in that fight). Also, it's a shame they didn't fix the glitchiness of the rising platforms in Snake Man's stage.

I believe those were the intended originally in the game; I remember seeing somewhere that the files for that were in the game, just never used.
I like that this version fixed the parts on the start of the second half of Doc Gemini Man and the beginning of the 3rd Dr Wily stage where you can get permanently stuck if you have run out of Rush Coil and Rush Jet. Of course, it is pretty unlikely that this will actually happen, but it shouldn't _be able_ to happen, so that was some of the most important changes, IMO.
This is so well made. Thanks for sharing the playthrough.

this looks TASy to the point of being a very successful run, but not 'i spent two years making it' TASy.
Improvements to rushed games are always welcomed. However, I would've eliminated the "Doc" stages completely. They were nothing more than padding to make the game seem longer than it was. Recoloring their stages isn't enough; they should've been removed.

Hello! I am one of the people who worked on this project and I would be happy to clarify the changes to boss AI. Changing the Boss AI in drastic ways is difficult when trying to retain the original pattern and spirit of the original. We did fix major issues such as large hitboxes, but also mini tweaks here and there. Shadow Man- There is a greater pause before he throws his giant shurikens as well as he always slides the longer, even up to the other side of the boss room, guaranteeing you will be able to jump over him. Spark Man- His tiny sparks that fly in 8 directions now briefly stun you but do no damage, but in turn allows him to hit you with his large spark which still does do damage. Needle Man- He is a perfect boi Top Man: Nothing much we could really do given the limitations of the hardware Gemini Man: The rare softlocking bug is removed Snake, Hard, Magnet Man: Nothing has been changed apart from hitboxes So it's not that we didn't bother, man. It's that we didn't have the technical knowledge to make more outrageous boss modifications.
