    Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Vol. 2 suffers from familiar faults found in previous entries. Still, the updated gameplay concepts, captivating stories, and endearing characters made this collection a grand experience. Even with Battle Network 4 being the low point, there’s still much to enjoy about each entry. Coming from a new fan of the series, you owe it to yourself to play through this adventure.

    Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Vol. 2 is overall the weaker half of the series, with Mega Man Battle Network 5 being the gem of the bunch. This collection is fine, offering more of the same excellent core gameplay from the first three games for those who can’t get enough. But none of the new additions are strong enough to make these games stand out individually. I’d still love to see Mega Man Battle Network: The Liberation Missions someday. But for now, it’s time to jack out.

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.    … Full Review »
