    This collection is everything I have been hoping for and more! The PvP is a an incredible experience that was unavailable in the Wii U ports. The MegaMan avatar features the OG voice actor from the anime and actually says different things depending on the time of day.

    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 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.    … Expand

    This is a great port, Max Buster Mode makes it much better to play through the earlier games and online PVP has breathed new life into the fandom like never before. Overall highly recommended.

    This is now the definitive way to play all these games. The games all contain the Japan-exclusive content and it has online PvP. Capcom put a lot into this collection and is defintely worth picking up.

    Great game, great series, glad to finally have it on a modern system. Hope they decide to continue this series woth a brand new entry. Only thing that may turn off new players is the first game has some first entry weirdness where they weren't quite sure what they were doing yet.

    Outside of that an excellent add to your catalogue of games.

    Absolutely unique take on a collection rpg set In a unique megaman universe. This game series has stood the test of time and is and great pickup for veterans of the series or newcomers alike! Ignore the fake negative reviews from people that haven’t even played the games.

    As amazing as it was on the GBA years ago. Affordable compared to what the single games go to.

    Must Buy! Aww I feel like I'm back in my teens playing these classics. You get a 200 damage chip that you download in the game. You get all 6 games where you change the aspects of the game screen and have amazing wallpaper around your game screen. Ultimate Megaman NT warrior fanservice and it even have physical copy to for collectors. You can Net Battle and trade Battle chips online

    Combat is monotonous and boring.
    Quarter view is hard to see.
    High encounters and no levels.

    Not worth the asking price, wait for sale or drop. Ugly font, no speed up…

    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]

    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]

    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.
