As usual for this series, it's a combination of a history of the game covered and an autobiography of author. Although I never played Megaman 3 (or played very little of it) I did own Megaman 2 and so it was great that the author touched on the entire series and the spinoffs.

A nice hit of nostalgia from another gamer who grew up in the NES era.

Ultimately the book strays too far in referencing too many other prexisting works in what makes it feel more like a collection of essays with just some thoughts by the author along with anecdotal prefaces.
I did like the history revolving the anonymity of developers back in the day and the mystery behind Kitamura along with Kurakawa.

Thorough history of the Mega Man series and it’s creators. I sped thru the detailed parts about actual MM3 gameplay, so in retrospect it might have been worth revisiting the game before reading the book.
