Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection - Switch

I mean its the battle network collection. Its great!

One of my favorite gba series gets another high quality collection treatment from Capcom. Not only did they give the graphics a smooth over they added all the japanese only content, gave the special cards for the last three games that let you change various aspects of megaman or get various in game rewards, as well as a solid online battling element. I haven't messed with that aspect very much but it seems to run pretty well from what I did play. If you missed this game when it came out or played it as a kid and loved it then you won't be dissapointed. There is enough content between the 6 games [they say its 10 but its basically 6] and they added enough qol changes that it feels worth paying full price. If you just want to play against friends and dont care about playing each of the stories I would recommend just getting the second volume and playing Gregar and Falzar they are the most balanced for pvp and are probably the best games other than the third entry. You dont really need to play each of them in order to follow along except for 5 Colonel version does connect to 6 in some ways

I love the series, now I get multiple games on my switch, I remember saving my DS lite just to be able to play Mega Man 5 team Colonel, now I can play all including 5 team Proto Man. I grew up playing these with my cousin. When I got the game we were on the phone on our switches playing Mega Man reminiscing about the good times playing Mega Man & watching the Anime. If you like the other Mega Man platformer or want a good fun game, I recommend giving it a try.

This series is something unique with its mechanics. A fun young shounen styled story with a grid and semi-turn based battle system, but not how other games do it. You can actively move through your 9x9 grid and the turns are essentially cool downs to pick new cards from your deck. There are field effects, card combos, some entries have an emotion guage or other effects. There's a ton of customization in how you play, challenging battles (though some may feel unfair at times), but they're all possible if you build your deck correctly. The only down side is a lot of random encounters can slow down the gameplay, but the new super buster mode just for this collection can speed you through these encounters when they get tedious. Otherwise, they can be useful for grinding up cards and money as post-battle rewards, and most bosses have ways to rebattle tougher versions of their ghosts. This all said, maybe skip or use the super buster mode to quickly go through the first game, as it is far more of a proof of concept than anything else, much like how other game boy advanced games started new series off rough with some sequels becoming some of the best games on the console. If you don't mind some back tracking and sometimes tedious overworld puzzles/challenges, this series can be one of the best gaming experiences out there if the rest of what I talked about is your cup of tea

As far as collections go, this one is quite good. I really appreciate the borders for modern TVs, and the filter options are a nice touch to make sure the game looks good on the big screen. It's also really cool that all the missing content from Battle Network 6 has been restored, and can be played officially in English for the first time. It also includes online multiplayer - not every game needs it, but it's a quality of life improvement that the series needed, now that it's no longer constrained to old hardware. However, this is a warts-and-all re-release - no tweaking, very few other quality of life updates. The games do allow you to access the eReader cards that were Japan-exclusive whenever you want, which is nice and can prevent some softlocks in some games. On launch, there was a way to softlock yourself in the English language version of Battle Network 6, but that's since been patched. So, make sure your game is updated before doing the Battle Network 6 post-game. This game will not fix some of the problems people had with Battle Network 4, or even the clunkiness of the original Battle Network. So, keep that in mind. Regardless, the Battle Network Series is a lot of fun, with some pretty unique mechanics, one that doesn't neatly fit into a genre, but in the best kind of way.

I was really hopeful that Capcom would do a Battle Network collection, following the classic, X and Zero/ZX legacy collections. Thankfully it happened (fingers crossed for a Legends and Star Force collection). This is the best way to experience the BN series. This collection contains both volumes 1 &2. Vol. 1 has Battle Network 1, 2 and both versions of 3. Vol 2. Contains both versions of games 4, 5 and 6. Much needed quality of life improvements have made things so much better, and supposedly the grammatical errors that the BN series has been known for, have been fixed as well. The inclusion of a switchable buster max mode will help cut through some of the more tedious parts in some of the games. This collection includes all of the Japan only content that was removed in other versions. Such as the Boktai cross over side missions, extra bosses and all of the incredibly rare chips and e-reader card gifts. The game is a love letter to Battle Network fans. They even got Mega Man Exe’s voice actor from the English dub of the anime, to reprise the role and be your guide for the main menu between Vols 1 & 2. Included along with the 10 games, are galleries of music, art work, concept art and other promotional art. My only gripe is that Battle Network Chip Challenge, Operate Shooting Star and the DS version of Battle Network 5 is not included with the collection. There’s also online Player vs Player and Chip trading to help fill out the library across all 10 games. There’s also no significant difference in performance in the Switch port compared to other ports.

Good game. MegaMan battle network was a top seller for the GBA SP and the game still keeps me enthralled. I didn't give this a 5 star because the price could have been better. I just missed the sale.

Maravilhoso. Muita nostalgia da época do GBA.

Nostalgic, worth the buy, multiple time replay value

Perfect for people who played the originals and a cool experience in a different world of MegaMan.

Très bon article, je découvre très tardivement cette licence, je suis très content d'avoir un bundle avec plusieurs jeux rétros dedans.

Chegou em perfeito estado ! Muito contente.
