Capcom published Mega Man X3 on the European New 3DS Virtual Console a few months ago. Tomorrow, North America will be joining in on the fun as well. Nintendo’s website confirms a release date of November 10.
Here’s what you need to know about the game:
“After discovering a virus that is turning intelligent and peaceful robots known as Reploids into rogue Mavericks, the scientist Dr. Doppler successfully creates an antivirus to the phenomenon. The reformed Reploids then move into Dopple Town, a place where humans and Reploids can live together in harmony. But when an outbreak occurs causing the Reploids to turn back into Mavericks, Maverick Hunters Mega Man X and Zero are sent to contain the situation.
Choose either Mega Man X or Zero as you run, jump, dash, scale walls, avoid obstacles, and fight enemies in eight challenging stages. At the end of each stage, defeat the boss to gain a special weapon that will aid you in the upcoming battles. Will you be the cure for this latest outbreak?”
Pricing for Mega Man X3 is set at $7.99.

Famitsu published a special issue today in celebration of the Nintendo Classic Mini: Famicom. On the back, an ad for Zelda: Breath of the Wild can be found. We don’t usually make mention of print ads, but we’re making one exception here.
The ad continues to show how Nintendo is promoting Breath of the Wild’s ties to the original Zelda. The text states, “Once more to Hyrule”. This also appears to be the first time that the Switch logo is included in an ad.
The first in-person photos of the Zelda 30th anniversary amiibo have emerged thanks to Universo Zelda. See the new pictures below.
