    Overall, in Vol. 1, you’re getting three games that each would be worth playing on their own, despite showing their age. This collection comes as a hit of nostalgia for handheld games in an odd time where, aside from smartphones, handheld video-game platforms are a thing of the past, with a quasi-exception for the Switch, which allows both home and handheld gaming. With such a deviation from Mega Man, devoted fans of that series won’t necessarily find Mega Man Battle Network to be essential playing. However, for those who wished Mega Man were more RPG-like, those who enjoy collecting a la Pokémon or those who enjoy an awesome, unique battle system, there’s never been a better time to jack in to Mega Man Battle Network.

    Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Vol. 1 is a messy, delightful package that’s a decent bang for your buck. The four titles offer considerable content full of optional objectives and postgame events. The stories and characters, while hit-or-miss, become more engaging throughout the series. However, the lack of in-game maps brings forward a few issues, but if you can get past that, these are dense adventures coupled with celebratory Legacy Collection features that will assuredly delight any fan. Hell, there’s even online battling for the diehards.

Capcom hasThe Battle Network collection is for switch is a fantastic rerelease of the Blue Bomber's spin off series from the early 2000s. Capcom has built up and included so many features and extra content that was only ever available to the fanbase through cheating these passed two decades. And with online added to the games, this collection is a true love letter to all of the diehard fans such as myself.

    So far, I've been enjoying replaying these games from my childhood, but I'm not under the delusion that they are perfect games. BN & BN4 are a slog to play through for varying reasons, but BN3 has an incredible story and polished mechanics, and BN6 has the most refined and balanced combat of all of them.

    It is disappointing that Capcom did not correct the poor translation errors in the English ports of the games, as some of them (especially BN4) are egregious. There's maintaining the original art, and then there's just being complacent with clear, obvious errors. Thankfully, they have addressed the few game bugs and crash issues the cartridges had back in the day.

    To fans of the originals, this game is a fantastic product that could have been better for a few minor reasons. To newcomers of the series, pick up Vol.1 or Vol.2, since the digital copies are split and half cost. Try out either 3 or 6, and see how you like the series.    … Expand
