I was never a fan of megaman, but its a shame it never reached the 3DO, it wouldve been a very solid and good platformer on the system

Well someone (I think it was Gir Draxa?) said that Capcom claimed the game was pressed in limited quantities in Japan. However other than some print adverts, I've never seen anything much else regarding this game for 3DO.

This commercial is awesome though, and lends a bit more foundation to 3DO gamers wishful thinking that maybe, just maybe, somewhere copies of this game exist .... I hope.

I wouldnt know, but if it did get pressed, i hope the iso turns out somewhere in the future. Would be cool to play megaman on the 3DO even if im not into that franchise personally.

Man, I hope this game eventually sees the light of day (someone finds it and releases it). It's not the strongest in the series, but it's still a solid entry. I'm mostly curious to know how it ran/performed on the 3DO.

I remember when I finally beat this game on SNES. It was not an easy feat.

Much more difficult than the first one, that's for sure!

Very cool. I really like the Mega Man X series, and while X3 is not one of the few entries that I feel lived up to the series's potential, I dare say that had it been released on the 3DO I would have got a copy just for the curiosity value. Even despite the fact that it probably would have been virtually identical to the Saturn and PlayStation versions. Mega Man X? On the 3DO? It seems so eerily out-of-place.

I know, right?

However I'm sure it wouldn't have been identical... Saturn probably would have done it better and PlayStation would have been worse.

Eh, I haven't seen the PlayStation version, but I don't see how the 3DO version could have been worse than the Saturn version. The basic game is identical to the SNES version, even retaining the borders - nothing that the 3DO couldn't do in its sleep. The FMV is low-grade, and the load times are positively atrocious.

The PlayStation and Saturn versions are identical to one another as far as I remember. Neither is enhanced over the original 16-bit version aside from a remixed soundtrack and animation FMV sequences. So for the 3DO version to be worse, well.. I can definitely see the concern (many 3DO titles had a certain "choppy" nature to them), but considering how Super Street Fighter II Turbo turned out (wasn't that done internally by Capcom?), I think X3 could have turned out well too.

SNES version would of probably been better due to the music imo. I was more fond of it since that was the version I played. That remixed music didn't retain the original source material very well. The megaman x collection on GC had complete different music for the game for some reason. It upset me quite a bit.

I know on the PS2 compilation, Mega Man X3 is the same game as the Japanese PS1 release (or maybe the PC version, which was identical to the PS1 version), so it uses the remade soundtrack. I haven't played the Game Cube version though. I'd assume it's the same as the PS2 compilation? Has anyone here played both?

lol. perhaps. I think it was done to make it more anime like styling or something. They definitely had more pixels to play around with compared to the NES.

Dang, seeing MegaMan on 3DO sure would been interesting. That's quite the interesting find you've made.

Would it have been Capcom's only delving into 3DO? I can't recall anything that Capcom did on 3DO.

Besides Street Fighter, Capcom was also responsible for the very last officially published game for the 3DO:

Too bad they picked a mahjong game over Mega Man ...

Street Fighter is great on the 3DO, I'm sure Rockman would have been too.
