Prerelease:Mega Man X3

This page details prerelease information and/or media for Mega Man X3.

Blast Hornet

Back of the Mega Man X3 box with the unused door.

An unused set of vertical boss doors were seen in early promotional screens for Blast Hornet's boss room for a long time before the early prototypes of the game surfaced in 2018.

Cancelled 3DO Version

A 3DO version was advertised in some promotional footage (seen at right) and other printed adverts, only to be cancelled shortly before release.

Unfortunately, by 1996 the 3DO had lost steam, thanks in part to a steadfast refusal to lower the console's MSRP. More notoriously, in Japan it had long since become a popular host for pornographic games, which would have clashed with the intended market for Rockman X3.
