"Continuing on with the music side of things with Mega Man’s 25th Anniversary celebration, Capcom has made Mega Man 3′s NES soundtrack available for purchase digitally at the Capcom Store for $8.95.
Mega Man 3′s soundtrack was composed by Yasuaki Fujita, who would go on to create one of my favorite SNES soundtracks of all time, the original Breath of Fire. Although Mega Man 2 might be one of the most beloved games and soundtracks in the series, MM3 comes really darn close behind. With tracks like “Title,” “Snake Man” and the infectious “Spark Man,” there’s a lot to love (and hum) here.
Like the digital album releases of Mega Man 1 and 2 before it, these are MP3 rips of the Japanese Rockcan Sound E Can from last year. While I did purchase the first game’s soundtrack on the company’s site, I was hoping that the CDs would be ripped at variable bit rate (V0, to be specific) as opposed to 192kbps. That would make these in line with what sites like Bandcamp and Amazon do with their digital MP3 sales.
I hope that nitpick didn’t make me out to be too much of a nerdy audiophile. Ah, who am I kidding, it totally did."

Dragon's Dogma 2 continues Capcom's hot streak of favorably reviewed games as the studio lands first on Metacritic's top publishers ranking.
Responding to a query about frame rate problems from IGN, Capcom said in a statement that performance issues on PC may be linked to the heavy amount of CPU demanded from NPCs in the game.
"In Dragon's Dogma 2, a large amount of CPU usage is allocated to each character and dynamically calculates the impact of their physical presence in various environments. In certain situations where numerous characters appear simultaneously, the CPU usage can be very high and may affect the frame rate," a Capcom representative told IGN. "We are aware that in such situations, settings that reduce GPU load may currently have a limited effect; however, we are looking into ways to improve performance in the future."
What a load of bull there blaming the npc load for there poor performance? the new hitman games has way more going on beyond that they are saying any pc cpu is not powerful enough?
In the article it is also stated a ign reviewr got motion sickness playing ps5/pc version but still enjoyed it? like wow if that was me i would knock it down alot and asked for a patch asap.
So those about to play thank denuvo get a barf bucket if your on pc play 720p because like cites skyline its going to be a unoptimized cpu mess.
Man those on series s/steam deck/rog ally rip :(
Project Zomboid a simple looking isometric game has a similar problem as the Zombies are CPU heavy. If this is the issue GPU tweeks won't do anything, you need less calculations per NPC or more static NPCs
Well that’s just great…looks like I’ll be holding off on buying this on PC until it’s fixed. If I wanted low frame rates I’d just buy it in console smh…
Capcom Boosts Starting Salaries in Japan by Over 25%! Strategic move to attract top talent and align with industry trends amid economic inflation.
Well there is a lot of laid off talent out there. Very smart of them to target that. Plus if it’s in Japan, that’s a great place to live.
I really approve of Capcom for doing this and will show my appreciation by supporting them. There are a few Capcom games I need to get... and this includes Dragon's Dogma 2. Support companies that support the people working in the industry over shareholders! REMEMBER: Shareholder's don't make games!
25% sounds like a lot, but it's from $1,560 to $2000 per month. That's $24,000 a year. Unless u became a monk, that is below poverty line.
