Introduction
I made this during a break after seeing a comment with request to add original Heroes 3 logos.

What it Does:
This "patch" will replace 3 existing Ogg Media video files with 3 new converted videos.

Content:
  • dotemu.ogv ► NWC logo (1920x1080)
  • UBISOFT_HD25_3sec.ogv ► 3DO logo (1280x720)
  • UBISOFT_HD25_6sec.ogv ► 3DO logo (1280x720)

WARNING!:
The package doesn't contain installation, so you need to make backup copies of three files listed above if you want to be able to restore them.

Installation
  1. Download the package from -> here[drive.google.com]
  2. Open it with any file archiver
  3. Drop the content to Heroes of Might & Magic III - HD Edition installation folder (Steam\steamapps\common\Heroes of Might & Magic III - HD Edition)
  4. Confirm to merge content with "data" and "VIDEO" folders
  5. Confirm to replace existing "dotemu.ogv", "UBISOFT_HD25_3sec.ogv" and "UBISOFT_HD25_6sec.ogv" files
  6. Done!

Now you can enjoy playing Heroes of Might & Magic III - HD Edition with 3DO and New World Computing logos.
In Result
You will get Heroes of Might & Magic III - HD Edition (ROE) with 3DO and New World Computing logo videos.

Ubisoft "All rights reserved" video is still there (I couldn't find this file and replace it). But, you can skip it by hitting the ESC button on keyboard. :)

Minor problem: Fore some reason 3DO video can not be skipped (NWC video is skippable though). I only converted the video files I found in the internet and I have no video edit skills. If you know how to do that, please share in comment section.
Disclaimer
All I did for this replacer is I found some NWC and 3DO logo videos among the internet and converted them to Ogg format videos. The package I uploaded (H3HDE-videorep.7z) only contains this 3 video files I have mentioned in "Introduction" section.

If you have any doubts about viruses, here's a Virustotal Check log[www.virustotal.com]

Anyway, use this file on your own risk. Cheers. :)

To heysandstorm: It appears that you are right. I have swapped the names of dotemu and ubi videos, and now I have NWC video not skippable (which was dotemu.ogv before swapping).

I think the 3DO video isn't skippable because of the initial Ubisoft vid, which wasn't either
