![]() ![]() ![]() One of my favourite things about playing each of the games in Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection was seeing how different cyberspace looked each time around. Some of these will be crucial to progressing, but others will just take you to smaller areas with a few upgrades and a cheeky bit of Zenny. Your computer at home is where you’ll do this the most as it leads directly to the broader online world, but you can also send your little avatar into stereos, street signs and microwaves to name a few. Lan can’t really do a whole lot but walk around town and talk to people, but at a whole lot of places in the world there are ports where you can jack in Mega Man and dive into the web. The fictional online world of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is even now such a unique setting for a video game, especially with the constant switching between the real and digital world. These unique gimmicks aren’t all created equal, but they shake the games up enough to keep your interest throughout a whole lot of playtime on the world wide web. There are all sorts of different forms, transformations and upgrades that happen in the various games, which sets each of the titles apart from each other. This core gameplay is pretty much the same in every one of the six Battle Network games, but as the series evolves so does the gameplay. While you’re waiting you can also fire the Mega Buster, which deals a tiny amount of damage at the base level but at least means you have something productive to do while you wait. ![]() When this happens you’ll have to wait for the meter at the top of the screen to refill, then you can pick more chips and deal more digital punishment. This means you’re rewarded for collecting multiple chips with the same letter, and might end up swapping out more powerful attacks for ones that synergise better with the rest of your folder (which is essentially your deck of chips in this RPG card game hybrid).Įven with the most perfectly arranged folder of chips though, there will be plenty of turns where you just don’t have the firepower to finish off the enemy. The chips you get at the start of a scrap are random, but you can use more than one a turn provided they’re the same type or labelled with the same letter. There are all sorts of chips to choose from, from easy to use cannons and blasters, to close range swords and grenades that are launched a certain number of tiles away. Each turn you can choose from a selection of weapon chips to unleash on the enemies, and will need to move the blue bomber around the different tiles to aim your attacks and dodge the offence of the enemy. In these battles against digital versions of familiar Mega Man enemies you’ll control our familiar friend on a six by three grid. Without a doubt the main hook of all the games in the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is the action RPG combat. The adventures of these two take place partially in the real world and partially on the internet, and are packed full of schoolyard antics, charming characters, and inevitably a global threat that can only be stopped by a young boy and his virtual virus battering buddy. Instead of just playing as a blue and cyan robot, the Battle Network games feature the duo of schoolboy Lan Hikari and his virtual partner MegaMan.exe. Regardless of if you end up playing six or ten of the games though, there’s hundreds of hours of virus busting content to indulge in here. This collection actually includes ten games though, because some of the games have multiple versions with slight differences sort of like Pokémon. These games all released originally on the Game Boy Advance (with one also appearing on the DS) and featured six main entries in the series. ![]() The most well known (and best) of the Mega Man RPGs are the Battle Network games, and with the upcoming launch of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection you can play every single one of them on modern consoles. Mega Man played football in Mega Man Soccer, there was arcade fighting in Mega Man The Power Fighters, and there’s a whole host of RPGs featuring characters from the series. Admittedly these are some of my favourite retro games, but there’s much more to the blue bomber than jumping and shooting pellets at Robot Masters. When most people think of Mega Man, they think of that hardcore action platforming on the NES or SNES. ![]()
