Genre: Action

















Release Date RRP Code

Mega Man X3, also known as Rockman X3 in Japan, is the 3rd game in the "Mega Man X" franchise - a spinoff of the Mega Man franchise with more complex platforming and a darker storyline. This game was originally made and released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as the third in a trilogy of Mega Man X games, and then ported to the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation. This 32-bit version was released in Japan and Europe, but did not see release in North America.

Changes from the original SNES version include a redone, arranged soundtrack and placement of copious amount of anime FMVs. One major flaw in the port, though, is really long and frequent load times, which made many a fan prefer the SNES Original.
