Mega Man 3 Revamped

Description

Three years ago, a hack of Mega Man 3 called "Mega Man 3 Ultimate" was released by romhacker TheSkipper1995. It was meant to be a relatively simple hack built on top of KujaKiller's "Mega Man 3 Improvement", rebalancing some of the game's level design and difficulty curve. At the time, the hack was considered satisfactory if a bit conservative in its changes to the base game. Early this year, at the behest of fellow romhacker DangerDoodle, TheSkipper1995 was convinced to continue work on Mega Man 3 Ultimate with some simple graphical updates. Over the next several months, however, with the programming assistance of KujaKiller, DurfarC, and MartsINY, the project grew into something [i]far[/i] more substantial than Mega Man 3 Ultimate. This is "Mega Man 3 Revamped!" Mega Man 3 Revamped's purpose is to be a highly polished and streamlined version of Mega Man 3 for people who may not have liked the original game due to its rushed, unpolished development. [b]Changes Include:[/b] [list] [li]Liberal changes to level design to make more interesting and engaging use of enemies, hazards, and stage gimmicks; most notably longer Dr. Wily stages with over [i]40 screens[/i] of additional, challenging content![/li] [li]Improved utility to Hard Knuckle which can be aimed much faster, Needle Cannon which has a much faster auto-fire rate, and Gemini Laser which doubles its speed after ricocheting once![/li] [li]Significant added graphical detail to many stages and cutscenes including Top Man, Hard Man, Snake Man, Gemini Man, and Spark Man![/li] [li]Additional fixes to several stray bugs that went unnoticed in Mega Man 3 Improvement![/li] [li]A restructured story line that keeps Break Man's secret hidden until the final act![/li] [li]Changes to boss hitboxes and a.i. to be both less frustrating and more challenging![/li] [/list] [b]Version 1.1 Update:[/b] [list] [li]Updated bug fixes from Kuja Killer's latest Improvement patch version 2.2.2[/li] [li]Very minor tweaks to level design and damage value balancing based on feedback.[/li] [li]Minor hitbox adjustments.[/li] [/list]
