    The year is 200X. Rapid growth of internet technology has given rise to Network Society. People carry with them PETs, mobile devices equipped with sentient programs called NetNavis, which they use in order to enjoy the many benefits the network provides. But even though the network has improved their way of life it has also brought with it new outlets for cybercrime.

    The protagonist, Lan Hikari, and his NetNavi, MegaMan.EXE, must work together to solve numerous incidents.

    Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is a great collection of a series of good games that present players with a unique, fun and challenging combat system, as well as a story that is very different from what the series usually offers. Whether you are a longtime fan or a curious newcomer, this package has a lot to offer.

    Capcom has produced another delightful capsule of its past with Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection. The quality of the games themselves varies, but there's a lot to like about the bundle of goodies we get from it.

    Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is an excellent way to get into this alternate saga. Its fun and addictive gameplay is still there, although it also becomes more noticeable how confusing these games could be and the lack of innovation in the latest entries of the series.

    Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is a fantastic compilation of RPGs that I'm very happy can see the light of day again. The question is: will there be a Star Force Legacy Collection with Mega Man Network Transmission included? I can only hope.

    Capcom aims to make a new generation of players appreciate the work done by Inafune two decades ago. Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection proposes a dozen well-maintained titles embellished by an online sector, a mode that makes the fights less harsh and a couple of goodies (patch cards, for example) that veterans of the Game Boy Advance/ Nintendo DS will appreciate. Someone will complain about the lack of some famous spin-offs, but the package offered puts more than 200 hours of gameplay on the plate (to really complete everything you will have to invest twice as much). In short, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is an unmissable opportunity to rediscover/recover one of the most underrated Game Boy Advance series. The only doubt concerns the price of the collection which is definitely not cheap (59.

    On the one hand, the combat systems in this collection remain a joy throughout, but on the other the pacing can feel a bit slow, and there aren’t enough modern additions. [Issue#28, p.92]

    The battles then take place in real time, and in addition to the Mega Buster, you also have a variety of chips at your disposal, which here represent cards with weapons and actions. It's the tactical combining of chips on the battlefield that is the biggest, but probably the only, attraction of the famous brand's return. [Issue#327]

    I write this review as a long time Mega Man Battle Network fan having jumped onto the franchise when the 3rd game came out over 20 years agoI write this review as a long time Mega Man Battle Network fan having jumped onto the franchise when the 3rd game came out over 20 years ago (gosh that makes me feel old writing this). I will also admit that I bought this game on all 3 platforms it was released on. My experience with this game is everything I hoped from this collection. No drastic changes to the game, they even added a filter that smooths out the pixels in the game which I actually like. They even brought back Andrew Francis who lent his voice for Mega Man in the anime dub from 2002 - 2003. All in all, I have thoroughly enjoyed this game and would recommend it to any Mega Man fan as well as those who enjoy a futuristic styled RPG. It's kinda cool how much Capcom predicted smart phones would be capable of doing. The first iPhone wouldn't come out til this franchise came to an end. My hope is that maybe, just maybe, we will get a revival of *THIS* iteration of Mega Man that is finally get some much deserved love and attention. BATTLE ROUTINE.. SET! EXECUTE!!!!!

    - 10 Games in one package!
    - Innovative fast paced, card-based combat with a very strong strategic element.
    - New level of strategy in MMBN5 with turn based liberation missions.
    - Buster MAX mode speeds up combat which aids heavily to getting through sometimes tedious combat.
    - Memorable and creative enemy design and an excellent story both individually and over the series of games.
    - Patch, Event, and Special cards which were a Japan exclusive are now all added to the games.
    - Multiplayer is fun and has a rather kind fanbase community.
    - In Battle Network 2 & 3 the Style Change mechanic adds an additional element of play style based on how you play through the game.
    - Memorable and creative enemy design and an excellent story both individually and over the series of games.
    - Battle Network 3 has excellent post game content. Which is arguably where the series really took off.
