Mega Man 3 for the
Nintendo Game Boy begins with
Dr. Wily being spotting drilling for oil and other natural resources out in the middle of the ocean.
Mega Man is dispatched to see what the
doctor's up to and put a stop to his evil deeds once again. This is the third
Game Boy adventure for
Mega Man, and this time around
Capcom raised the bar on difficulty. Released in 1992, the game combines elements of
Mega Man 3 and
Mega Man 4 for the
Nintendo Entertainment System.
Rush the robo-dog is present in his
springboard and
jet forms, as is
Mega Man's slide maneuver. Also present are the ever-popular
robot masters:
Every
Mega Man Game Boy game features a new
Dr. Wily robot creation, and this time
Punk, a spiked minion, is around to cause trouble. Three hits from him and
Mega Man is off to the scrap heap.
Passwords once again record progress just in case that happens.
This is a rare title as it was released in limited quantities back in its heyday and was never rereleased, so finding it in retail stores today is bound to be a challenge. You're better off picking up the 2004 Game Boy Advance anthology of Mega Man's Game Boy adventures, Mega Man Mania.
