Mega Man X3, also known as Rockman X3 (ロックマン 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 This game was originally made and released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as the third in a trilogy of Mega Man X games, and then ported to the Sega Saturn and Sony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 initially see release in North America; this version was later included in Mega Man X Collection for the Nintendo GameCube and Sony PlayStation 2, which saw only an American release.

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.
