Let me just say from 9 years later that I as a big Mega Man fan am really happy that out of all the game franchises Mike decided to start with, he didn't start with Mario, Zelda, Castlevania etc. but with Mega Man. It was probably just a coincidence but it makes me smile. Mega Man 3 is still my No. 1 out of all the NES Mega Man games, only slightly beating out 2 (mostly because I like the idea of the Doc Robot stages which was never repeated in any Mega Man game again, would have been even better if they were different stages altogether instead of being "hacked" versions of the regular Robot Master stages). Definitely one of those games I come back to from time to time.
I love the reference in the person's name at 1:13:37."SpringwoodSlasher" That's awesome ;) I'm sure James Rolfe would get that too being a horror movie buff like me.
I always thought the "P" stood for Primary, and when changed to "M" i figured Main.... ah well, the terminology could never make this franchise bad... still play it.
P most likely stands for Player. It's right next to Mega Man's energy, hence the P for Player, similar to the Castlevania games where the health meter has the word "Player" next to it.
I always thought 'P' stands for Plasma, since that is a common science fiction weapon. But if you think about it, the letters for the other weapons stand for the robot masters. That means is is something like Person or Player.
I have something important to say about thisat 1:10:12. I can't believe no one told him about this! Unless some were trolling or they really didn't know. There's a trick at this part where you keep hoping over and over again on the Rush jet and it depletes much slower, allowing you to get through. The down side being that you have to fight while doing this, but I've mastered it and beat it many times this way, without even collecting most of the energy capsules along the way.
Surprised how many times we were all trying to Tell Mike that he can jump while on Rush Jet to conserve energy and he never saw when he looked at chat....
Magnet Man's theme is my favorite track in the game. Also, I COMPLETELY don't get why everyone's assuming the health bar is somehow connected to the X-Buster, which Capcom has said it's been called the entire time, even before the charging was invented. I think it stands for "Power" because it's his health, but I can also see why you'd think it's Plasma too Mike because that could also be what powers him. I lm'dmao at 18:29 and had a funny thought when you said that Mike, "Why is Shockwave green?" :D
it's funny because when i played megaman and saw the "P" weapon, I always called it "pellets". like a pellet gun. I'm thinking they might have meant it as P for Player, because you the player are going to be using that by default
1:11 what youre supposed to do if out of the Jet is refil it on the enemies like the dragonfly before you start. As you move you can land on the platforms that had the restorting items, and hit enemies as they come at you in waves, hopping from one to the next. Its very tedious and hard to do, but you can do it.
hey mike, in Australia we don't have the youtube gaming app yet, and for some reason your livestreams aren't appearing on the general youtube subscription feed anymore? so we can't watch it from our phones/ipads
I love how about 1:13:10 Mike starts getting pissed about people asking what game this is lol people don't know how to read the fucking title of the video they are watching lol
I think magaman 3 has the better soundtrack, only becuase it is the one i get the most RETRO BLOWBACK from. I had totally forgotten the Magnetman sountrack, and man...it took me back...!
The original Mega Buster, originally called simply "P" (possibly standing for "power" or "player") in early games, also known as Arm Cannon and Plasma Cannon but no one knows for sure.
+rellik187redrum Well if you have the artwork for a cart label then find a print shop that prints on vinyl (like bumper stickers or license plate tabs). Not quite accurate to having a gloss paper label but should be durable.
It's awesome how you hear Proto Man's theme throughout the whole game, and just when you think you're sick of it at the end it turns into one of the greatest credits themes ever in about one second.
Hey Mike, you can play most of Destiny by yourself, it just helps to have other people. In fact the only thing you really need other people for is the Vault of Glass Raid. The only other time you play with people is when you go to the Tower and you don't really play with them, they're just there doing whatever. On a side note there are the infamous disappearing Mega Man blocks in Destiny. So give it another shot, play with people when you want and don't play with them whenever you want.
it seems not only is youtube not letting me know that cinemassacre is streaming, I am unable to view their streams as I was hanging around the channel for a couple of hours. and this pop up out of nowhere.
always thought P was pellet, but that's when i was a kid. My problem with this game now is i'm using an xbox controller and sometimes when i try to run and jump i'll slide and die
Dont worry Mike. Mega man 2 is better not just for the music..but the music and the incredable gameplay that was just not too easy and not too hard. Perfect
I don´t have any boss order to this game, this game is so easy that I do robot masters every time in random order. And it´s more fun to do in different order.
You know, Mike... the point of these games is to find the weakness for each robot and use it. Not go in reverse order and use the regular weapon against all of them. Ha. I've never seen anyone go in a COMPLETE reverse order like this before when they have an entire panel informing them of who is weak to what. Spark beats Magnet, which beats Hard, which beats Top. Then you opt to go Top, Hard, Magnet, Spark, using your P the whole time. Lol. I know you know this. Just an odd way to take on the game. By the way, if you ever figure out what the "P" stands for, leak the info--the NES loved the letter P. What did it stand for in Mario 3? Or in Zelda 2? They threw a P on everything back then.
culwin I do. And so does he, which is why he keeps asking what the weaknesses are and where to go next. That's the gimmick in Mega Man. Now stop acting like a douche. I was just being coy. Who writes motherly comments like that anyway?
+Ekku Danieru (Daniel Eck) I acknowledge that without verbalizing it. I was merely pointing out the irony of Mike inadvertently playing the bosses in the exact opposite order of their weaknesses. It was comical irony, and I found it amusing. I'll get started on my Dust Man takes over the world fan fiction now.
I thought the P stood for Power Buster because the Mega Buster is just the same weapon but with a charge shot, implying that the Power Buster was used to build the upgraded version called the Mega Buster.
49:20 - That's a good point. Dr. Wily had to create these somewhere down the line. Which means, he actually drew blueprints and said, 'Yes!!! This is what we need to stop Megaman!!! Giant blue sperm with big lips!'.
You sure you didn't mean _Player_ , as in a label for the Player's health (as in many games) and also the one the weapon belongs to (as in all other letters on the weapon select screen)?
The P is definitely plasma. In all the other media where Mega Man is in, like the animated series, it's always a plasma cannon that he's using until later it's called Mega Buster which leaded to the X-Buster in the Mega Man X series. All based on a plasma based weapon.
in the cartoon megaman has a plasma cannon that gets upgraded to the mega buster to charge and shoot, even in megaman x the X buster is mega buster MK17
Only Megaman 2 has a difficulty setting because they added an easier option for the American release (they called it "Normal"). The original Japanese release had only one setting: what they called "Difficult" for the American release i.e. the one it was meant to be played on. Mike change the button configuration so it plays like the NES already. It's right there in the menu you constantly pop up by accident.
top was not that good? it took away 4-5 bars at a time great streams to see i'd love to see some great SNES rpg's in mike's streams i'm playing secret of mana again, lately.... my favorite thanks for posting this, i cant see your streams completely, because i'm in europe (timezones, bah), but i do love to watch them afterwards here :)
Mike @ 1.08:36: "...what I could really use though is some life" Me thinking: "You have four energy tanks Mike, just fill up!" Mike @ 1.09:05: *pauses the game to switch weapons" Me thinking: "Look! At the bottom right corner of the screen! 4 ENERGY TANKS! Use one!" Mike @ 2 seconds later: "Oops" *pauses again and almost accidentally selects an energy tank, but quickly switches back" Me thinking: "Good, now just press st...MIKE! THE ENERGY TANKS! YOU JUST HAD ONE SELECTED! GO BACK TO THE MENU! MIIIKE!! ...OH FFS..." Mike @ 1.09:36 "... I have like no life at all" Me thinking "Oh sheesh just FILL UP USING AN ENERGY TANK! YOU HAVE PLENTY! MIIIIIIKEEE!!!! So frustrating" *starts biting nails frantically* Mike @ 1.09:50: *takes a hit and Mega Man explodes into smithereens" Me: "Ohhh..." *faints and hits his head at the desk*
somebody tells him "use your weapons more", he says "i'm conserving them" ...okay, i play that way too. but then later he is using his weapons and he never bothers to refill them with all the weapon energy that drops. but then he actively jumps up or backtracks to collect the weapon energy but only collects them while he has the pellet gun equipped.
Man I totally agree with Mike about mmo games people like my friends sometimes think that's weird and I've dabbled for friends but mostly I prefer couch co op because that's how we grew up most likely
Glad to see this one get a play through. This has always been my absolute favorite of the series.

“What is a RUclips”
“Why is Mario blue”
I can’t even😂😂😂😂
Megaman 3 is my favorite, best music & difficulty.
I actually always stated the P for "Primary" like Primary weapon.
chuckobscure I think megaman 9 has a awesome soundtrack wily stage 2 is my favorite track in megaman 9.
yeah as it was said in the video p stands for pussy hahahahahaha!!
I thought it just mean power
P stands for Player because it shows health bar instead of ammo
P = Primary. As in primary weapon.
Megaman 2 is my favorite by far! Love the soundtrack and the game play is better in my opinion.
Cool to hear Mike say my name! Thanks dude. Really enjoying the streams, man.
I love the reference in the person's name at 1:13:37."SpringwoodSlasher" That's awesome ;) I'm sure James Rolfe would get that too being a horror movie buff like me.
Mega Man 3 is my favorite of all MM games out there :) and the "P" stands for Power,.. because you'r playing with Power :)))
_P_ stands for _Player_ , as in the label for the _Player's_ energy bar, and the selector for the initial weapon belonging to the _Player_ .
I always thought the "P" stood for Primary, and when changed to "M" i figured Main.... ah well, the terminology could never make this franchise bad... still play it.
This video is earning almost 65,400 worldwide views!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
18:10 "Why is mario BLUE?"
OMFG hahahahahahahahah
P most likely stands for Player. It's right next to Mega Man's energy, hence the P for Player, similar to the Castlevania games where the health meter has the word "Player" next to it.
I like the music on the game selection screen. Kinda reminds me of Phantasy Star.
I always thought 'P' stands for Plasma, since that is a common science fiction weapon.
But if you think about it, the letters for the other weapons stand for the robot masters. That means is is something like Person or Player.
+Schwarzer Ritter it cant be person. Mega Man isnt a person. He's a robot.

The down side being that you have to fight while doing this, but I've mastered it and beat it many times this way, without even collecting most of the energy capsules along the way.
My favorite music in this game is Sparkman's theme, Snakeman's, Hard Man's, Wily Castle 2 and finally the Gameover screen.
the megaman 3 get weapon song is just pure awesome I actual like it.
always thought P was Power
+TheCegacomics YES! I completely agree. Just read my comment.
+TheCegacomics Its definitely not "Person" though. That doesnt make sense, Mega Man isnt a person he's a robot.
It's Plain. As in: the Plain shooter, not a modifier/power from a boss
TheCegacomics I always thought P was for piss myself
Moose knuckle Mike
18:11 I believe that, maybe, this is where Mike started to break... 😂
"P" has to stand for "Player." Like "Player 1" for example.
The emotion in mikes voice is awesome @ 17:37
Surprised how many times we were all trying to Tell Mike that he can jump while on Rush Jet to conserve energy and he never saw when he looked at chat....
i just got into actually playing these games, and i really appreciate the advice in the videos. makes these games a bit easier lol
could the "P" stand for prototype blaster
Magnet Man's theme is my favorite track in the game. Also, I COMPLETELY don't get why everyone's assuming the health bar is somehow connected to the X-Buster, which Capcom has said it's been called the entire time, even before the charging was invented.

I lm'dmao at 18:29 and had a funny thought when you said that Mike, "Why is Shockwave green?" :D
My guess is P stands for 'Player', as in (Default) Player (Character)
Mike the way to make the jets power last is to constantly jump . The power does not go down whne you are in the air but the jet goes with you .
oh here's a rush jet tip, it doesn't count down if you're jumping, so jump a lot and push forward.
Always found Mega-Men 3 to be such a beautiful looking NES game
Megaman 3 has the best music in the Megaman series
it's funny because when i played megaman and saw the "P" weapon, I always called it "pellets". like a pellet gun.
I'm thinking they might have meant it as P for Player, because you the player are going to be using that by default
So......does anybody know about the "conserving jet energy by jumping" trick?
I always thought it was strange that 3 did not have an intro to tell the story. When Dr Light said that Wily took Gamma, I had no idea what it was.
1:11 what youre supposed to do if out of the Jet is refil it on the enemies like the dragonfly before you start. As you move you can land on the platforms that had the restorting items, and hit enemies as they come at you in waves, hopping from one to the next.

Always thought P stood for "primary weapon"
Those little blue guys in Gemini Man's stage are called "pole". As in tadpole, it seems like.
I think magaman 3 has the better soundtrack, only becuase it is the one i get the most RETRO BLOWBACK from. I had totally forgotten the Magnetman sountrack, and man...it took me back...!
The original Mega Buster, originally called simply "P" (possibly standing for "power" or "player") in early games, also known as Arm Cannon and Plasma Cannon but no one knows for sure.
please finish this Mike! I was playing it level by level with this video. Good vid man
+cinemassacre extras Yes mega man 3. I love that game. I actually got this on my birthday as a kid
anyone know where I could get megaman 7-9 cart labels? nes reproductions doesn't answer.....
+rellik187redrum Well if you have the artwork for a cart label then find a print shop that prints on vinyl (like bumper stickers or license plate tabs). Not quite accurate to having a gloss paper label but should be durable.
Mike always mentions how much he likes Mega Man 2 music. I've tended to prefer Mega Man 3's music the most over the years
+Dan Sheck
ye mega man 3 has the best music by far for me, the intro alone is intense.
+Dan Sheck The credits music are mind blowing anyway.
between the Megamans 1 ,2 and 3 is time when the credit music would tease the next games theme. So cool
It's awesome how you hear Proto Man's theme throughout the whole game, and just when you think you're sick of it at the end it turns into one of the greatest credits themes ever in about one second.
Hey Mike, you can play most of Destiny by yourself, it just helps to have other people. In fact the only thing you really need other people for is the Vault of Glass Raid.

My guess on what the P stands for, is "Pellet"...at least that's what I've called it since I was a kid.
P stand for player maybe???
+synical13
This is Capcom so it wouldn't surprise me.
+Damon Hopkins Could be Primary.
+hivebrain that seems the most likely
pulse ?
it seems not only is youtube not letting me know that cinemassacre is streaming, I am unable to view their streams as I was hanging around the channel for a couple of hours. and this pop up out of nowhere.
I'm interested in getting this compilation, but I heard that it's coming to retail some time early next year so I'll probably wait until then.
always thought P was pellet, but that's when i was a kid.
My problem with this game now is i'm using an xbox controller and sometimes when i try to run and jump i'll slide and die
It's cute to watch how Mega Man looks at the boss icons on the stage select screen. I wonder why they haven't kept that in the other games.
there cheap that takes too long to program
Erase *they're
Dont worry Mike. Mega man 2 is better not just for the music..but the music and the incredable gameplay that was just not too easy and not too hard. Perfect
MM2 is quite easy.
I was using Mike's video as a walkthrough for me.
*HARDEST FUCKING ROUTE* to go by. Jesus...
I don´t have any boss order to this game, this game is so easy that I do robot masters every time in random order. And it´s more fun to do in different order.
Top Man-who's attack is only useful for one boss at the very end
+Daniel Ryan search snake is also usable, but feels... awkward.
Fun fact: Mega Man is solar powered and his primary gun fires solar energy. The P mean could "Primary"
Megaman 3 is best megaman! Loved the snake level as a kid.
That proto man's or break man's or whatever theme reminds me of tapion's flute tune from dragon ball.
You know, Mike... the point of these games is to find the weakness for each robot and use it. Not go in reverse order and use the regular weapon against all of them. Ha.

culwin I do. And so does he, which is why he keeps asking what the weaknesses are and where to go next. That's the gimmick in Mega Man. Now stop acting like a douche. I was just being coy. Who writes motherly comments like that anyway?
Guys, just fucking stop. We don't need another hatechain.
+Ekku Danieru (Daniel Eck) I acknowledge that without verbalizing it. I was merely pointing out the irony of Mike inadvertently playing the bosses in the exact opposite order of their weaknesses. It was comical irony, and I found it amusing. I'll get started on my Dust Man takes over the world fan fiction now.
+frozenaorta No need to insult you after that last sentence.
I've been playing this game since early 90's and never knew that Etank disappears when you bring out jet.
I think the E-Tank disappeared because it timed out.
This game is better than Mega Man 2
I thought the P stood for Power Buster because the Mega Buster is just the same weapon but with a charge shot, implying that the Power Buster was used to build the upgraded version called the Mega Buster.
It's player. P has always stood for player.
+Deep South ...it's plasma.
@@locke103 Why would it be plasma, when every other letter in the weapon select screen stands for the one the weapon belongs to? It's _Player_ .
49:20 - That's a good point. Dr. Wily had to create these somewhere down the line. Which means, he actually drew blueprints and said, 'Yes!!! This is what we need to stop Megaman!!! Giant blue sperm with big lips!'.
Sorry I meant power pellet
You sure you didn't mean _Player_ , as in a label for the Player's health (as in many games) and also the one the weapon belongs to (as in all other letters on the weapon select screen)?
"some people call it person" no, just you, Mike.
Music for 3 was just as good as 2.
The P is definitely plasma. In all the other media where Mega Man is in, like the animated series, it's always a plasma cannon that he's using until later it's called Mega Buster which leaded to the X-Buster in the Mega Man X series. All based on a plasma based weapon.
in the cartoon megaman has a plasma cannon that gets upgraded to the mega buster to charge and shoot, even in megaman x the X buster is mega buster MK17
I call the p pop or pow, because it goes pop pop pop pop pop you're dead!
I thought p was pistol cuz he had a pistol on the cover when I was younger
I always thought the P stood for 'power', as it's showing your life meter and not ammunition.
i know im wrong, but P for pebble? hes rock man xD
Damm I was 2 when this game out i feel old!
In Mega Man 8, Mega Man actually says "power shot" when using his basic weapon.
I think P stands for pistol. Look at the game covers from Mega Man and Mega Man 2. He has a gun in his hand. That changed later on.
the 4 do-over levels can be done in any order, personal preference.
Plasma Cannon; I'd learned that from the original Mega Man cartoon.
so do the bosses in this one have weaknesses cuz i just started and i can't beat any of them
Only Megaman 2 has a difficulty setting because they added an easier option for the American release (they called it "Normal"). The original Japanese release had only one setting: what they called "Difficult" for the American release i.e. the one it was meant to be played on.
Mike change the button configuration so it plays like the NES already. It's right there in the menu you constantly pop up by accident.
Now I know that Gamma was supposed to be a peace keeping robot. I never had the manual. The story was in the manual.
top was not that good? it took away 4-5 bars at a time
great streams to see
i'd love to see some great SNES rpg's in mike's streams
i'm playing secret of mana again, lately.... my favorite
thanks for posting this, i cant see your streams completely, because i'm in europe (timezones, bah), but i do love to watch them afterwards here :)
My fav
yeah, Live stream of castlevania sotn would be sick.
Damn mike sure has a lot of time on his hands. All these games
I always thought the 'P' meant "pellets'. I guess you're right, though, that there's no definitive answer.
I always thought P stood for Pew-Pew Gun.
Mike @ 1.08:36: "...what I could really use though is some life"

Mike @ 1.09:50: *takes a hit and Mega Man explodes into smithereens"
Me: "Ohhh..." *faints and hits his head at the desk*
I love graphic from old games
Doesn't the P stand for Pistol? I say this because on the cover art, he is holding a laser pistol. When i was a kid, i called it personal.
Maybe P stands for player as it is the life energy bar?
What about 'P' standing for primary weapon?
P stands for Primary because it’s your primary weapon.
somebody tells him "use your weapons more", he says "i'm conserving them" ...okay, i play that way too. but then later he is using his weapons and he never bothers to refill them with all the weapon energy that drops. but then he actively jumps up or backtracks to collect the weapon energy but only collects them while he has the pellet gun equipped.
Man I totally agree with Mike about mmo games people like my friends sometimes think that's weird and I've dabbled for friends but mostly I prefer couch co op because that's how we grew up most likely
My favorite Mega Man
best MM imo
snake works on spark man, if you can get him to stand still
You just got pwned Mike! HAHA!
