" Dr. Wily has a hidden lab/factory where all his real work takes place. The huge skull fortresses you fight through are decoys.
Nearly every game, Dr. Wily has a massive skull-themed fortress which you blast your way through. And yet, despite destroying it every time, he's always ready to go next game. The truth is that all of Wily's real research happens in a secret lab that has not been found, or even suspected, by anybody. Probably because it's underground and well-hidden. From here is where"

"The Mega Man X game that almost never was, Mega Man X3 pretty much follows in the steps of its predecessor: it’s a solid game but a standard sequel with a few new bells and whistles like a semi-playable Zero. As plebeian as this makes the game sound, it also contains that peculiar grittiness that was coined in the second installment and it’s that feeling that both games are powered by today.""

Gazing upon a clipping saved from an old issue of Nintendo power (Volume 78), Greg Ballard, President of Capcom USA, proudly announces the canceled cancellation of Mega Man X3, claiming "Mega Man X3 represents Capcom's commitment to the Super NES... and Mega Man's millions of fans."

Mega Man X & Zero - Why the heck not? They are robots who could do my bidding both in fighting and chores and they would do everything with exact precision. If Zero can clean as perfect as he can kill my place would be spotless.

Those of us lucky enough to get our greedy little hands on this rarity were delighted to find we could now finally play as the awesome Zero! Of course now he's playable in all sorts of things so it's no big deal but this was a first and the game being as rare as it was made it even more special. Plus it was just more of the same awesomeness the X series brought to Mega Man.

Mega Man X3 was the third game in the Mega Man X sub-franchise and the last to appear on the Super Nintendo console.
Like its predecessor, Mega Man X2, Capcom included the Cx4 chip to allow for some limited 3D graphics and transparency effects. Also, Mega Man X3 was the first game in which Zero is a playable character in addition to X. It's also the first Mega Man game to feature multiple endings.
The eight Mavericks in X3 are: Blast Hornet, Blizzard Buffalo, Gravity Beetle, To"
