MEGAMAN3 was the first NES soft that my father bought me. I will never forget the happiness of that day. It's one of my most cherished memories with my father.
Mega Man 3 is the most magical for me. I think it has the best soundtrack, too. Wow. So many great memories. My friend and I would always play this game during sleepovers at his house. We eventually could beat the game, and that became a thing we would do every sleepover. I remember all of these tracks very well. What a special time. Hell, this game is STILL great.
For me it was Mega Man 2 which was the first one I played. When I was a kid I thought you were able to pick the characters and play as them. It was my first exposure to then I realized it was something different. Loved it ever since.
I think its the better game but MM2 soundtrack stands out so much more. Every boss music in MM2 hits harder, 3 lots of the stages are very average IMO. Wily's castle in 3 is epic though i will say that

In my 40s and still love this music. I'll never forget the first time I played this game. I got hooked on the music right away. I still have the Magnet Man music memorized for piano.
Im almost on my 40s too and still love with all my soul this soundtrack, it was my first MM game back then and i beaten all 11 classic games and every X entry, but this keeps being my absolute favorite, every track is a banger.
@@isaacmettle Yeah but Xenogears without Tetsuya Takahashi would be a fail, and Namco has the rights to Xenosaga, it would be cool to have a collection HD
How strange is it to realize that I was 3 years old in 1990 and even as a freakin' toddler I loved the Megaman music, especially 2. We are three bloody decades later and I still love it. And by love, I mean it has a special place in my heart because it isn't just nostalgia and childhood innocence, they're also solid pieces of music.
Adrian Elicegui I always thought the ending cutscenes did a good job highlighting that in 1-4 watching Mega Man walking home, alone with his thoughts. 1's version of this was portrayed as more upbeat but all of those made you really want to get in his head and wonder what he's thinking after such an ordeal, which of course is counter to how we're supposed to see a robot.
I noticed! especially the epilogue song. it sounds almost like saying goodbye to an old way of life. it still pops into my head at moments in my life like this.
both 2 and 3 have incredible music, I've been catching myself listening to the soundtrack of both at 3 am for some reason- my dad introduced me to these games, and I couldn't be more thankful I have a nintendo nerd as my father. sometimes he'll just play 8-bit video game soundtracks in the car. it's pretty great.
I have to give the Kudos to my mom. She got me into these game masterpieces! She didn’t like playing them much, but she loves the music, or at least can derive a track is a “Mega Man”. We would play Gradius and Bubble Bobble together many afternoons/nights when I was a kid!
This is the best game soundtrack ever. I loved this game as a kid, mainly because of the music. All songs are very melodic and genius in their arrangements, especially when you consider that the composer (Yasuaki Fujita) had only four tracks to work with. I love this, thanks for the upload.
@@NumanBaba Shhh, they are going to eventually come and find this comment. We must hide. Who are they? The people who realize that after 8 years of listening to MM2 OST on repeat decided to click on MM3 and realize its the superior one. Especially Wily's Castle 2.

1992 jugando en una tv blanco y negro. Conectando el family Game por la antena, sintonizando el canal 3. Sin hacer ruido para no despertar a mis viejos. A todo eso me retro trae está banda sonora
The key to this seemingly lossless soundtrack rip is a ton of reverb being applied. The music generally sounds worse on real hardware after listening to Grad1us's edited and equalised rips.
@@one_step_sideways I wonder how it would sound if someone mixed the music with adjusted frequencies. Lower Bass, crystal clear highs, and some punchy drums
Its insane actually how good that title music is among so many other songs in this game. A sound chip that simple. Simplicity is the mother of all invention.
The title screen and the stage select music are pure gold, what a great way to start a great game, your ears already has an orgasm way before the game even starts, just submit.
After starting with those tunes it's like, "My body is ready!" I still don't get why people say Mega Man 2 is a better OST than Mega Man 3. Mega Man 2 is great, don't get me wrong, and its Wily Fortress 1 is still one of the top 5 NES tracks of all time, but 3 is just better in so many other ways.
Dargonhuman 3 just has a consistently amazing soundtrack, even for the typically throwaway Stage Select, Weapon upgrade and Password themes. 3 also has riveting Wily stage themes. Aside from 2s Wily Stage 1, it only had one other, weak Wily theme. So taken as a whole, 3 wins out.
I'm neutral about this, but maybe it's because 2 was such a huge step-up from 1 overall, including in the music - besides, 2 is the best-selling Mega Man game as of now. Imagine if you go to, say, the circus and you see an okay trapeze act, then you go the next week for some reason (go with it plz); this time, though, you see the best trapeze act you've ever seen in your life. That moment is more impactful after the week before than the NEXT week, where you realise you like this particular trapeze act and go and see it again. Even if week 3 is marginally (or quite a bit) better than 2, you will always cherish 2's performance 40 years later because of nostalgia. (Weird illustration, I know, but it was the first thing that I thought of. Yep.)
I used to play in a clonic console. My first game was a 3 in 1 cartridge what contained Rockman 3, Adventure Island 3 and Double Dragon 3. Well, I only purchased this for the great music and the detailed logo in the start of the first game, I never played a Mega Man classic game before and seeing this in a 8-bit console was impressive. I moved to another city and I lost the cartridge, I feel so sad and nostalgic for that. Since that I always stick around to try to encounter one similar.
@@ethandarner MM9 is absolute fire, and my second favorite in the entire ip. my comment referred to 8-bit, but yes, MMX is legendary, and has some of the best tunes on the snes. MM2 really started it all for capcoms amazing sound reputation and was crazy good. but imo, its kinda over-rated. theres some awesome tracks on that ost. but i think capcom topped it with MM3 personally, and even MM4 and MM5 are brilliant. we dont talk about MM6- garbage. MM9 blew me away, but isnt true 8-bit technically i guess. MM2 is still solid as fck tho, cant argue that. not a single bad tune in there. i guess to me, its over-played and over-rated. and i like what they did with later titles, refining the sound and the melodies. either way, think we can agree MM2, MM3, MM9 and MMX are pretty much the pinnacle of megaman soundtracks. even MM7 had some bangers. its hard to choose favorites from this franchise, and ive made a couple video lists here on yt. but its never perfect lol.
I'm listening this while in home office during this Covid 19 pandemic times and it sure lifts my mood, great OST, great game; there's water in my eyes, thanks for uploading this jewel!
Ya kiddin' me, friend? I mean, Magnet Man's theme was the first song I ever Kazaa'd~ we had this when I was a little guy, my dad and me beat it together. He'd defeat the Reboot Master levels, then I'd take over for the Wily Stages.. ALWAYS loved hearing that boss music!!
Apparently she only did 3 of these tracks before going on maternity leave: Needle Man, Gemini Man and Staff Roll. Those tracks also sound different from the rest, which are made by Yasuaki Fujita (they are not related). Her tracks are good, but Yasuaki had several strokes of genius here and made something for the ages.
Megaman 3 Stage select song: I used to leave my NES in the stage selection screen just to hear this wonderful song! I have hardly played any other game over all the generations from NES to PS4 more than what I played Megaman 3. I probably played Megaman 3 more time than Demons souls + Dark Souls + Dark souls 2 + Blood borne + Dark souls 3 + GTA3 + GTA: SA + GTA IV + GTA V together...
Did the music have an emotional effect on you too? Like almost like a reluctant hero having to fight a repeating battle over again but never giving up or giving in... it just fit with the game.
They pimped the hell out of those Yamaha synthesizers when they did this soundtrack. They made all the money with Rockman 2 and bought the legendary Yamaha DX-7 and Emu Emulator II pre-programmed with the Minoru Mukaiya-Mega Man tones from his hit "ASIA" and made this gem of a ost
Both 2 and 3 are tremendous games. I always liked the style of 2 just a bit more. 2 seems more innocent, beautiful, naive and dealing with themes of nature. 3 seems to be more practical, has more industrial and mechanical settings (which you would expect, naturally in a game about robots) and you can sense the difference in the soundtrack too. 3 feels more mature and sophisticated even, while 2 feels more timeless and beautiful. But regardless both have so many amazing tunes. I also think 3 will kick your ass considerably more. So the challenge is more mature too.
I think their base simplicity also has helped them age extremely well. They are just good NES games. Yet despite that they also are very innovative with the non-liniear structure, ability to use your enemy's power ups and the traversal powers. It really feels they first made a simple but very solid base and then build on top of that. This is in contrast to a lot of modern games that are just a bunch of overly complicated ideas thrown together.
Funny thing is, I suffer from a very severe misophonia (kind of a "intolerance" to certain sounds) and one of my "triggers" is whistles, specially in a tune practically identical to this song. The effects on me is having all of the body reactions to pain with psychological/cognitive adverse effects on top of it. To make it simple, whistles makes me "feel pain" and all the reactions related to it, from my body to my mind... But somehow this single song never triggered it. Instead I love it to pieces since the very first time I managed to beat this game and even today, 3 decades later, I still love it. The magic of great art, I think.
Megaman 3's soundtrack is a true masterpiece. It took me forever to watch this video bcs I kept rewinding a lot of themes lol it just brings back so many memories
I used to rent the game often in a video store close to my house, I remember being awestruck with the weapon upgrade theme the first time I was able to beat a robot master. I forgot about most of this until a few years back, when I heard the intro theme in a video. Memories of 6-year old me came flowing back with great detail and a bittersweet wave of nostalgia engulfed me. I had to sit down, hahah... those moments are rare and I cherish this game for that reason. Incredible soundtrack: after nearly 30 years I still enjoy listening to it!
This is my favorite game in the series, probably because it’s the first one I played and the music was a huge draw even though this game was brutally difficult for me at 9 years old
This soundtrack goes hard. I remember when my Mom got this for me at Toys R Us. It was priced at a whopping $60. She was like this is your Christmas present come early. I was like yes, I want it now. One of the best Christmas presents ever. Thanks Mom.

THANK YOU for playing the entire whistle theme ending part. It always got cut off at the end, then i found out there's the way to slow everything down using a 2nd controller, so i heard the entire thing when i first did it.
I like his work sometimes, but it's definitely nice to have a clean and more accurate version available to enjoy - especially for this OST in particular
Not only does use to much reverb, but I never liked how he mixed or panned each channel. As someone who knows how to do this myself, I find gradu's uploads closer to I listen to NSF soundtracks.
Magnet mans theme has never left my mind. For some reason its just the most memorable song on this soundtrack to me even after playing this game 15 years ago.
Megaman 3 is the best game. I like the robot masters. And the enemy robot selection theme. I'm a megaman fan and I'm good at centurman stage and the others

0:32 - 0:54 Wow this is my favorite part, hits hard, sounds so appealing and gets you hyped for the game. Incredible 8bit piece of music. So much effort it the composition for an 8bit song. I love it!
Even though Top Man is the most significant level and boss from my childhood since it basically was my route to finish the game, i just love the Spark Man theme its so omnious.
General rule of thumb for all Mega Man/Mega Man X games: The electricity-themed levels always have great music. Spark Man's theme is near the top of the list for any Mega Man music
This soundtrack is one of the reasons why i became a musician, true story
Same with me but Megaman 2. I always loved how frantic and energetic the music is in these games

A lot of people say 2 is the best but Mega Man 3 is my favorite Mega Man on the NES.
💯Been saying this
I personally prefer 2, but both are great games!
I couldnt agree more 🙏🏾 I love 3 so much!
Mega Man 2 > Mega Man 3 No one will change my opinion
I think 2 vs. 3 is the great classic Mega Man debate. I doubt either is objectively better than the other, but 2 makes me happier.

shmuplations.com/megaman/
As if you're Megaman saying... "Do I really have to keep fighting this fight... again?" The reluctant hero's lament type thing.
I always felt a strong sense of longing and loss, which is so incredible from early video game scores...
I noticed! especially the epilogue song. it sounds almost like saying goodbye to an old way of life. it still pops into my head at moments in my life like this.
I was 12 years old I left the title screen on to make coffee I blown away what I heard
Without hesitation the Megaman 3 opening makes my eyes water.

12:26 Snake man's theme is still my all time favorite Rockman theme
Same here. One of the best 8 bit BGM ever.
Next to Spark Mans.
Son todos !!!!! Needle man
磁石ステージ曲何気に神じゃね
数十年経っても脳内に残ってる
磁石ステージも良いですし、タップマンステージなんかも聴けば聴くほど味が出る、そんな曲が3には多いですね。

アンタ分かってるな！
サビからメロに戻るときの繋ぎ方が信じられないくらい斬新でカッコいい
25:29 get ready for goosebumps.
I agree, to find out the mysterious robort is your older brother!
ohh protomans theme. i love it bro XD
I love this song
agree
Cool but man does it hurt my ear
harumi fujita is legendary, such a great influence. I'm humming these melodies daily more than 30 years later
Apparently she only did 3 of these tracks before going on maternity leave: Needle Man, Gemini Man and Staff Roll. Those tracks also sound different from the rest, which are made by Yasuaki Fujita (they are not related).
Her tracks are good, but Yasuaki had several strokes of genius here and made something for the ages.
Megaman 3 Stage select song: I used to leave my NES in the stage selection screen just to hear this wonderful song! I have hardly played any other game over all the generations from NES to PS4 more than what I played Megaman 3. I probably played Megaman 3 more time than Demons souls + Dark Souls + Dark souls 2 + Blood borne + Dark souls 3 + GTA3 + GTA: SA + GTA IV + GTA V together...
Did the music have an emotional effect on you too? Like almost like a reluctant hero having to fight a repeating battle over again but never giving up or giving in... it just fit with the game.
Looks like someone has excellent taste
For me, the best OST in the series. Hear this make me feel comfortable and happy
They pimped the hell out of those Yamaha synthesizers when they did this soundtrack. They made all the money with Rockman 2 and bought the legendary Yamaha DX-7 and Emu Emulator II pre-programmed with the Minoru Mukaiya-Mega Man tones from his hit "ASIA" and made this gem of a ost
Both 2 and 3 are tremendous games. I always liked the style of 2 just a bit more. 2 seems more innocent, beautiful, naive and dealing with themes of nature. 3 seems to be more practical, has more industrial and mechanical settings (which you would expect, naturally in a game about robots) and you can sense the difference in the soundtrack too. 3 feels more mature and sophisticated even, while 2 feels more timeless and beautiful. But regardless both have so many amazing tunes. I also think 3 will kick your ass considerably more. So the challenge is more mature too.
Wow, what an insightful interpretation. I was way too young to think about those two games in that manner!
I think their base simplicity also has helped them age extremely well. They are just good NES games. Yet despite that they also are very innovative with the non-liniear structure, ability to use your enemy's power ups and the traversal powers.
It really feels they first made a simple but very solid base and then build on top of that. This is in contrast to a lot of modern games that are just a bunch of overly complicated ideas thrown together.
26:30 im literally crying, so damn great😢
Funny thing is, I suffer from a very severe misophonia (kind of a "intolerance" to certain sounds) and one of my "triggers" is whistles, specially in a tune practically identical to this song. The effects on me is having all of the body reactions to pain with psychological/cognitive adverse effects on top of it. To make it simple, whistles makes me "feel pain" and all the reactions related to it, from my body to my mind... But somehow this single song never triggered it. Instead I love it to pieces since the very first time I managed to beat this game and even today, 3 decades later, I still love it. The magic of great art, I think.
Megaman 3's soundtrack is a true masterpiece. It took me forever to watch this video bcs I kept rewinding a lot of themes lol it just brings back so many memories
I used to rent the game often in a video store close to my house, I remember being awestruck with the weapon upgrade theme the first time I was able to beat a robot master.
I forgot about most of this until a few years back, when I heard the intro theme in a video. Memories of 6-year old me came flowing back with great detail and a bittersweet wave of nostalgia engulfed me. I had to sit down, hahah... those moments are rare and I cherish this game for that reason.
Incredible soundtrack: after nearly 30 years I still enjoy listening to it!
Megaman 3 had by far the best music out of all the Nes titles. 21:34 boss battle is my favorite!
One of the greatest soundtracks in history. Not just out of games
The Spark Man stage music is always THE MUSIC I think about when remembering ANY Megaman game play.
I don't know why but my bro and I always sang the lyrics "No pub-licity, no pub-licity.. No Publicity NOW!!" to that song.
Megaman always had the best music
LittleBalla Productions 9 is not bad
ＯＰから奮い立たせてくれるBGM もうこれは魔法の三音源の最高傑作と言っても過言ではない、凄すぎる！
I used to play this over and over just to listen to the music. Best video game soundtrack ever.
I would spend several minutes at a time between levels listening to Weapon Get and the stage select screen, just enjoying the music.
Behold, the greatest Video Game Soundtrack of all time!!!
Spark Man theme: WOW.
Brandon Ginsburg I seriously can’t think of a better video game song, ever.
Yeah I love spark man
@@happygodavid megaman V wily stages/MaGMML2 tier 8 level - escape sequence
Best Classic Megaman game ever. Best soundtrack, too.
What a timeless work of art! I don't even know if people knew what kinds of emotion you can convey within the scope of 8bit❤
I remember just turn it on and leave the title screen song while doing other things... lol
Thank you very much Yasuaki Fujita!
16:48 Best boss theme in the series imo
You really feel a sense of urgency and danger with it.
This is my favorite game in the series, probably because it’s the first one I played and the music was a huge draw even though this game was brutally difficult for me at 9 years old
It was my first Megaman game too. I played 3 before 2. Then 1.
1 was more brutal to me when I was a kid. (oh so many pits and spikes 😱)
Same. My first MM, and my favorite one.
same here! i was 10
sparkman theme
GB version is superior
ikr
22:22
Determination , Cyberpunk , Future, Momentum , No Mercy &
I don't know....It was fuckin cool childhood of my life.
Agreed. That track is merciless and hopeless. Very dramatic and fitting.
I need to meet the man who created 22:22. Kygo's grandfather? Absolutely amazing. What memories.
10:20 the beginning of every playthrough once you knew what worked against the opponents :)
18:15 個人的にロックマンシリーズの中で最高の武器入手曲だと思います。
Me too!
14:49 :)))))) nostalgia!
This soundtrack goes hard. I remember when my Mom got this for me at Toys R Us. It was priced at a whopping $60. She was like this is your Christmas present come early. I was like yes, I want it now. One of the best Christmas presents ever. Thanks Mom.

エピローグの曲、続きがあったんですね。ゲーム中で流れない部分まで聴けて良かったです。
THANK YOU for playing the entire whistle theme ending part. It always got cut off at the end, then i found out there's the way to slow everything down using a 2nd controller, so i heard the entire thing when i first did it.
Wait really?
私も途中までしか聞けないと思っていたんですが、弟の友人がおそらく同じ方法で最後まで聞かせてくれました。
それをビデオ録画して大事に保存してましたね
get chills every time i hear top man's theme, it's so catchy
Can't stop the top!
Don't shoot me when I'm dancing!
Dodge bullets when I'm spinning!
Can't stop the top!
The Password theme is pretty underrated. I love it so much!
This intro was the most METAL thing NES ever produced. This, and Bloody Tears from Castlevania 2.
thank you for the clean upload without the added echo that the other guy adds
He has added echo.
dunno man, just think it sounds better than the upload by the guy with the power glove
I like his work sometimes, but it's definitely nice to have a clean and more accurate version available to enjoy - especially for this OST in particular
Not only does use to much reverb, but I never liked how he mixed or panned each channel. As someone who knows how to do this myself, I find gradu's uploads closer to I listen to NSF soundtracks.
Yea grad1u52' are way more accurate/high quality
One of the Best NES themes out there.
My personal favorite -
Top man
Shadow man
This is the best video game soundtrack ever, not just the best Mega Man soundtrack.
Super Mario Galaxy would like to have a word with you
@@pug_lover_6450 this is the biggest joke i've ever read
@@mika_iran thank you. While I do think Galaxy's soundtrack is amazing, I mostly said this as a j o k e. So thanks for the compliment bud
@Всё интересное oh yeah both soundtracks of Sonic CD are top tier. My personal favorite one is the Japanese one
@Всё интересное my favorite tracks are D.A Garden and Tidal Tempest Present. Stardust Speedway Present is a good listen tol
やはりロックマン３は名曲揃いだよなあ！何回聴いても飽きませんね！
thnx a lot Japanese for this great game c:
２よりも総合点高い。
特にハードマンは随一
All these years later and I can still hmm along with every beat. The soundtrack alone makes this a top tier mega man game.
Dr. Wily's Castle 2 is a tune that's randomly popped into my head throughout my entire life.
haha u aint the only one
Wily Castle 2 is dramatic which is perfect for being a boss stage theme. It's my favorite along with Spark Man & Hard Man.
Spark man,title screen and snake man is my favorite song in this game
Spark Man's theme is super underrated man... it's like the best Megaman Song
agreed
Nonononono... HARD man is underrated! Gemini man’s theme might be too. Spark man’s stage is probably one of the most popular mm3 robot master themes.
Agreed
FISH STIKS agreed, i always think spark man theme when i think mega man 3
Magnet mans theme has never left my mind. For some reason its just the most memorable song on this soundtrack to me even after playing this game 15 years ago.
なんだこのハイクオリティーな音質は！
凄い
@10:20 - 14:49 - Best stage themes IMO
Snake Man being my personal favorite
Megaman 3 is the best game. I like the robot masters. And the enemy robot selection theme. I'm a megaman fan and I'm good at centurman stage and the others
In the early 90s, I had an obsession for this game. And its music has stayed with me all these years.
precioso, me trae recuerdos estos juegos, para mi esto sigue siendo una mina de oro.
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo
X 3 yo amo el megaman 2 y el 3
....momentos invaluables....

One of the best video game songs even today! Love this composer!!
0:32 - 0:54
Wow this is my favorite part, hits hard, sounds so appealing and gets you hyped for the game.
Incredible 8bit piece of music.
So much effort it the composition for an 8bit song. I love it!
I love track 9...Top Man's stage. To me it's the most catchy and Memorable.
Nothing quite takes me back to my childhood like the bit of music at 2:50
This tune reminds me of vetrex4life. Remember watching his videos about forgotten games.
I'd say it's the game over music for me at 1:27 lol
@@rip93ford That, too. lol
Essa trilha sonora sempre me deixa instantaneamente feliz
How does a wordless 8 bit sound track kick so much ass. Psychology is a complex thing
Rhythmic and complex, unpredictable and exciting
Even though Top Man is the most significant level and boss from my childhood since it basically was my route to finish the game, i just love the Spark Man theme its so omnious.
Hard Man's stage music is so underrated. So good!
Gives me the chills! Great song!
General rule of thumb for all Mega Man/Mega Man X games: The electricity-themed levels always have great music. Spark Man's theme is near the top of the list for any Mega Man music
Magnet Man´s theme is the best of the NES
2:51 this piece of music make me super hype everytime
18:14 This one also gets me going 😁
This is the first Robot Master in the game, and almost every player begins with them.
A melhor trilha sonora sem dúvidas!
I’ll never finish this video, I just continue going back to the title screen tune. What nostalgic roundhouse kick to the core.
The op theme gives the 13 year old me chills, knowing that I'm about to embark on an awesome adventure!
Same (was younger than 13 lol)
全ていいけどstaff rollが大好きです！
昔を思い出すせいか切なくなります。
