Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection - Switch

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.

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.

First off. To anyone wondering. It's not a remake. Just a collection of the gba games in both versions of each. With all the patch and download chips available from Japan. Maybe some clearer text than the originals. Along with online trading and battling for the original gba eSport. Still plays like the old. Sounds like the old. And feels like the old. The only problem I would see is it all being the gba ones, you won't be able to swap party members with the opposite party in 5 like the DS version. And no 4.5 or network transmission if anyone's into the classic style. But it's a solid collection I would stand by even over breath of the wild to be honest.

This collection has Battle Network 1-6, with both versions of each for 3-6+ the (digital) patch cards that used to be JP exclusive. One of the most unique, and fun, RPGs ever made imo. Though 1 does show its age more than others.I know another review mentioned a poor value, but if you buy the collection that has vol 1 and 2, you are getting 10 (total with generation variants) games for $60. That’s like $6/each if they were on the online store as a virtual console title. AND you get the patch cards virtually to be able to use with them. In my opinion, those alone make up any price variance.And the online works! So you can trade and battle your friends!I hope they continue this great trend of legacy collections with a Starforce collection next!

Nostalgia blasting, buster max-ing fun. This collection spans all 10 titles and 6 generations of the Megaman Battle Network games for one great price. All content is included as far as I can tell, download chips, online battles, the whole gamut.

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.
