Video Game Review: Mega Man 3

Story:
Dr. Wily, yadda, yadda, Sci Fi. Ghost in the Shell platformer. Robot Masters
Proto-Man gets involved as your new nemesis.
SPOILERS ALERT.
Apparently, it's a fake, and the real one is your brother.
Really cool for its time.
A+

Difficulty: I had a lot of problems trying to beat this game when I was younger. On the Gamecube Anniversary Collection it seemed so easy with the auto shooting. Heck, it did more damage auto shooting than MegaBuster. Dang.
The slide also made things signficantly easier.

Game Design:
Lots of cool platforming.
A note is how Keiji Inafune was disappointed in the game as it wasn't quite up to Mega Man 9 standard of difficulty, what he considers to be true Mega Man 3 or as I call Mega Man 3x3.
It's still a really good game.

Music: Really fucking awesome. Some of the most memorable tracks in an NES- no video game ever.
A+

Character Design:
Everything looks sci fi and kawaii. True use of the NES' graphics.
A+

Overall:
Video game classic collaboration between Keiji Inafune and Capcom, even if it wasn't quite an auteur project like 3x3. I still love the game.
A+
