And now the plot of Mega Man 3 makes sense now with it actually being featured in the intro. The graphics are pretty decent and they do look official, although some filler music for the "gap" would be nice.
I kind of figured Mega Man went to other planets to find the Energy Elements, so I never thought of it as some wacky idea that Capcom USA came up with (honestly it sounds like something Astro Boy would do, hint hint). I mean Gemini Man's stage was a dead giveaway; what part of Earth would be that crystalline?
this would actually be a good story arc wily comes to his senses, but his robots were planned to go berserk LONG before he decided to stop being evil so then mega man has to deal with them.. again
Actually, the robot masters in Megaman 3 are created by both Dr. Light and Wily. In any case, Albert is obsessed in proving Thomas and the entirety of the world, that he is the greatest genius. Even if his mortal frame fails him, he build contigencies and legacies to make sure that his goals are fullfilled. Makes one wonder, where all the wrong came from, to turn a scientist wanting to create heroes with his double gear system, to such a grudgeful entity.
@@ThanatosZero i find it even more hilarious that in the end he ended up creating a hero after all, it just didn't bear fruit until long after his time
There was no removal, because the deadline for the 3rd game was too tight. The devs had literally no more time for to insert a new intro. In general, CAPCOM is infamous for tight deadlines.
What did you expect? Mega Man 3 was a released beta because the guy who directed and planned 1 and 2 quit and they made Inafune take over as planner halfway through development.
you know, the whole "mining planets" thing was never really touched on before or after this. the stages don't even particularly indicate that they aren't on earth. (except gemini man's, sort of. those weird tadpoles seem a little oddly organic) but, like, after this it's all on-planet stuff. well, as far as i know at least, i havent played the game boy games
@LordSesshomaru85 The intro does seem like a good idea, though the portraits from MM3 don’t seem fitting as they all have the same pose. Some fan art I’ve seen for Mega Man 1’s stage select op to use the ones from Wily Wars
Considering the plot synopsis of Mega Man 1 on the back of the box, it's maybe best that there was no plot in the game itself. This way it's a lot easier to ignore the utter nonsense plot the original game gave us in retrospect, and instead accept the game's story for what we know basically know it to be from future games, and established lore.
bro this is the first time i am actually listening to the intro with the visuals - believe me i had no idea there was that large pause between both parts of the song but i definitely felt it should!
@@thejaceofspades Sort of, but the events of the game are still taking place in 20XX, whereas the events of the intro are portrayed as already having happened. It's not like the intro's events happened, then Mega Man (the player) waited a century to act on those events.
Exactly what I wish we had if Mega Man 3 was given a few more months of development time. Plus some extra dialogue to explain whatever the hell Protoman is doing/thinking when he fights you and later aids you
I think the exposition could've been condensed just a tad to fit with the rest of the game's very brief text crawls, but otherwise this is hella neat. Even more impressive that this was hacked into the ROM itself rather than just a mockup. 👍
I do think the "was about to begin" part should be changed to "is about to begin". Doesn't make sense to keep it past tense when its the intro to the game that will tell the events of the story.
I never owned the booklet to this game, so I never knew the plot. I had no idea wtf the last element or gamma were Dr. Light is talking about in the lab scene.
Good job, but i think the graphics should be reworked a bit. I know the sprites were traced from the Wish upon a Star OVA, but i think they should be shrinked down to more or less the same aspect ratio the cutscenes in capcom games like the little mermaid, little nemo and megaman 5, also to re-draw the faces to look more closer to the artstyle of the games at the time.
If you are worried about the accuracy, it is intact albeit with some flavour. For the original retranslation, see the text under the video. There is a link leading to the japanese manual.
I appreciate what you were going for here, but this is REALLY wordy. It's so wordy that you actually pause the intro theme in a way that feels anticlimactic. You basically inserted the entire manual plot into the game, which isn't at all what the original devteam would've done. Just look at MM4 and MM6. Those intros condense the storylines in a cost-effective way that don't make sitting through and reading them a chore, especially for kids.
Welp... If you only came here at the time when I uploaded this video for Kuja. But if MegaFleX allows it, you can do a revision on your own. On the other hand, you won't be able to find so easly a physical manual nowadays.
As far as I'm concerned, this IS the intro to the game. Officially.
The game should've had an intro. The title theme sounds like there can be one.
Moreover, that pause in music makes it better!

+Cheeyev Megaman 4's intro had this gap as well.
ThanatosZero True, that.
No it doesn’t make sense
@@ThanatosZerono It didn’t
Filler music sucks
7 years later and this is still so fricking cool
You know, if I ever get an NES Classic Edition, THIS is the Mega Man 3 I'll add to it. At least it makes a lot of Mega Sense!
I've done it to mine, and it works FLAWLESSLY
Okay yeah that makes a lot more sense than just "It's Wily again lol"
Technically, it still is, and always is lmao

I thinked that it was in the Antartica.
This is straight up magical. Wish I'd known about this hack sooner, it's so cool.

YES! this is awesome mate cheers! Always wanted to see this
That the kind of intro we should have got at the original NES game instead of removing the intro like "no story just check the manual"

This intro is based off plot from Archie Comics.
@@robertlupa8273 That's the actual plot of the game back when it was released.
nice video.
btw, a 3.0 release of Megaman 3 Improvement has been released by KujaKiller earlier this July 2023
That...was...awesome.
Really love this intro :D
what about the megaman 1? this one deserves a intro like this!
Megaman 4's intro did a recap to the 1st Megaman game.
Mega Man Powered Up?

@@gurvmlk bro really do be reading the USA box (capcom made up complete non-sense for the US release)
For this is the best history of megaman and got the better song of the games of megaman
bro this is the first time i am actually listening to the intro with the visuals - believe me i had no idea there was that large pause between both parts of the song but i definitely felt it should!
The split was in the original fanmade video. But the gap there was shorter. Due the text here, the pause occured later in the scenes of that romhack.
oh well.. @@ThanatosZero thanks for clearing that one up
+SlashForce , for the narrator the story already happened, so it makes sense for him to narrate in past tense.
It's only a little awkward because the first line in the whole thing is "it *is* the year 20XX" rather than "was" the year 20XX.
@@thejaceofspades Indeed, but then again. The original animation which was made before it was adapted into the ROM, didn't feature Blues at all.

The story in this game was so out of place randomly In the manual but this helped clear things up
I do think the "was about to begin" part should be changed to "is about to begin". Doesn't make sense to keep it past tense when its the intro to the game that will tell the events of the story.
Finally. All we need now is the story for Mega Man I.
See mega man 4
I never owned the booklet to this game, so I never knew the plot. I had no idea wtf the last element or gamma were Dr. Light is talking about in the lab scene.
Mad respect to the maker of this cutsence
I love the designs of light and wily. Reminds me of the japaneese megaman ova
I think because it was traced from one of the OVA's and pixelated.
"History Repeating."
Who do they call when robots need defeating?
The hack rom name is megaman 3 revamped
Actually Revamped uses the Improvement patch as the base, which includes the intro.
Oh, so that's why the stages in that game were weird as fuck, they are supposed to be alien planets!
Mis respetos al que iso esto 👏👏
Now that’s much better!
Good job, but i think the graphics should be reworked a bit.

KIKI Hideout i am telling you this mainly because this can be done without using too much memory.
KIKI Hideout acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?id=8263
Nice, thats pretty good
This is so EPIC.
This would be great if this intro could be included in the nes game
It is.
Good intro 👍
Awesome intro!
Awesome!
I always thought it was stupid how they said the Robot Masters went to different worlds. Seems to silly
What should have been.. if they had time…
love it!
:D GREAT JOB!!
Hmm. Maybe if anyone has a Japanese translation for the intro that would be nice.
If you are worried about the accuracy, it is intact albeit with some flavour. For the original retranslation, see the text under the video. There is a link leading to the japanese manual.
Only issue is no mention of Break Man
It wasn't really necessary
Oh, so the game actually had no intro that’s…bizarre. What was the reason for it?
Deadlines back then. They hadn't enough time to properly finish it. It is basically game released in it's beta state.
Much better
My only problem is that there is no hint at Protoman in this intro
you just made me realized that
He might be a little irrelevant to the main point tbh
Thats megaman 3 ultimate
cool
Awesome, though Megaman lookin a bit W I D E.
Shame there no mention of break man
Irrelevant
