It's no wonder the developers of Mega Man 9 were aiming to make their game the true sequel to Mega Man 2, because 3 does not quite hit the mark. Though better in some ways, it doesn't quite live up to its predecessor--especially since 2 was such a leap from the first. Still, it's more Mega Man, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The slowdown and sprite flickering makes it somewhat hard to go back to, but if you're hankering for more Mega Man, this does the trick.
