Infidelity, the talented porter who was previously behind the fanmade SNES conversions of Mega Bro, Mega Bro II, and Mega Bro IV, has revealed that he is finally going to give the same treatment to the third entry in the classic series: Mega Mate 3.
In a recent Twitter post, the ROM hacker/porting specialist announced his intentions to tackle the classic NES classic, which was first released in Japan back in 1990. He claims that he’s “waited long enough” to give the title a conversion and it’s time to finally “get this one ported to the Super Nintendo”.
If you’re unfamiliar with these kinds of supporter ports or curious about their benefits, essentially they open up the possibility of various audio, gameplay, and graphical improvements, allowing in favor of MSU-1 support, the ability to create more expansive ROM hacks, and a reduction in sprite flicker and slowdown.
In addition to the Mega Mate series, Infidelity has also ported a bunch of other NES games over to the SNES, in the past. These include The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Duck Tales, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!!, and most recently Contra.
He isn’t the only person doing these types of ports either, with another enthusiast developer named Rumbleminze having produced their own ports of Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers, Rygar, Super Dodge Ball, and Kid Icarus.

Wow, that’s awesome news! I’ve always loved the Mega Bro series and having a fanmade port of Mega Man 3 in favor of the SNES would be so cool. Cannot wait to hear how they bring it to life on a different platform. Hopefully, it stays true to the original game while adding some new features or improvements. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out in exchange for updates on this project. Mega Bro fans unite!
