Volume 1 of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection will net you Mega Man Battle Network 1 through 3, while volume 2 contains 4 through 6. It?s been a bit since Capcom made any of these titles available to the masses, with the last ports being on the Wii U Virtual Console. While Battle Network might not be my favorite Mega Man series overall, I?ve been pleasantly surprised by how well the series holds up in Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection volume 1 and 2 available now on PS4, Switch, and PC.
BATTLE GROUP 2 SWITCH REVIEW PORTABLE
While certainly a bit hampered in design due the series’ portable stylings, each subsequent entry in the series did a great job of building on the prior games, continuing with the same core cast of characters that were really well written and endearing for the time. Gone were the platforming shooting action bits that Mega Man was known for, replaced now by a grid like battlefield where you deploy Battle Chips to defeat enemies in a strategic fashion. Debuting on the GameBoy Advance in 2001, this series re-wrote the book on what a Mega Man game could be, introducing RPG mechanics, new human and robot characters, and a whole new series of villains.

However, there?s definitely a whole generation of Mega Man fans out there that more likely than not associate the classic Blue Bomber with this series of games, Mega Man Battle Network.


When most people my age think of Mega Man, we?re likely thinking of the NES and SNES action-platformers that were so prolific during the 80?s and 90?s.
