    The year is 200X. Rapid growth of internet technology has given rise to Network Society.
    People carry with them PETs, mobile devices equipped with sentient programs called NetNavis, which they use in order to enjoy the many benefits the network provides.
    But even though the network has improved their way of life it has also brought with it new outlets for cybercrime.
    The protagonist, Lan Hikari, and his NetNavi, MegaMan.EXE, must work together to solve numerous incidents.

    This is honestly a gift from Capcom to gamers. They made so playing every major megaman game, except the legends series (yet) is super easy, accessible and with some new goodies. I wish other companies would do that. Imagine a Castlevania legacy collection, Zelda legacy collection, pokemon legacy collections with all GBA and DS games plus minor changes, updates, goodies. And they are doing it right, honoring the entries, unlike say the GTA trilogy for instance.

    • @KnightlyBrosGaming
      @KnightlyBrosGaming ปีที่แล้ว

      As for Castlevania, I believe they released some collections in the past few years. There is a Collection that brings the GBA games. A Collection that brings Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood. And finally, a classic Collection that brings 8 (iirc) old games.

    my favorite was Battle Network 6 game which i played, i loved it since it was my first Battle Network game and i loved the idea of playing as a Wild or Evil version of Megaman along with not being limited to playing as "ONLY MEGAMAN" plus, what i hope to see if they do make Battle Network 7, i would love for Capcom to do these two routes for the seventh game. the first would be a game to help bridge the gap between the Battle Network series and the Star Force Series. the second is that since the Battle Network series have there own version of Zero, Iris and Colonel from MegaMan X, i would love for Battle Network to have main bosses, final Boss and optional bosses be based on the bosses from the Zero and X series

      I religiously followed the Battle Network and Star Force games back in 2003-2009, and I can assure you, Capcom meant to end the Battle Network series with Battle Network 6. When I first heard about Battle Network 6 in 2005, Capcom went on record to say it is the "Final Installment". They wouldn't have said that if they had possible plans for a Battle Network 7. The sense of finality towards Battle Network 6's end was made on purpose. Besides, how in the world can a Battle Network 7 "bridge the gap" between Battle Network and Star Force? Though Star Force is set 2 centuries after Battle Network, Star Force 1, 2 and 3's plot has no ties to the Battle Network era, because in the Star Force series, Internet technology is gone, replaced by radio wave technology.

    If the games are the original Japanese versions retranslated it should mean two things.
    1: Restored content. Most notably the maps, Immortal Area, Graveyard 2, Hakushaku and Django in MMBN6.
    2: Retranslated means fixed grammar and spelling errors. This mostly affects BN4, but it also fixes the "What am i" and "OldMine" find-and-replace typos in BN5. (and "you're mouth" in BN6)

      Different transformations are enough gameplay spice up to change everything. Have you seen the number of diff possible folders and how many are tied to specific Souls/Crosses? When the entire core gameplay is the combat system and the combat system isn't actually just Buster spam, transformations literally make up the entire games and so why wouldn't anyone play at least 4-6 twice for the diff gameplay experience?
      Repeating BN4 6x just to get all 12 Souls across both games will indeed be very annoying, but Buster MAX Mode will help a ton with the annoying random encounters in the annoying sidequests. It lets us breeze through the story mode super fast too, just skip cutscenes and spam buster, I'm sure it won't be as intolerable

    A bit Biased from my part, but another reason to BUY the collection is, Even if the price tag may be not worth it to some, especially since Parsec exist and N1GP fan tournament of Battle Network 6 with Rollback Netcode romhacks do as well, Supporting the Legacy Collection is a way to show Capcom that people want more Battle Network, which may allow a new game to come out in the future if it does really well, like how MegaMan 11 Was eventually released and is one of the best selling MegaMan games. While I think 6 served as a nice conclusive ending to the series, it would not be too farfetched to see a new installment or spin off release in the future.

    imo, I think the $60 price tag for both collections at once is still a decent price and not really much of a con, per se. Because it's $60 for 10 whole games, technically. While, sure, the games are old, but I'd say the price is well worth it. And considering how I've been hearing that they took lots of care and effort working on porting (not emulating) the games, which makes a lot of sense considering it probably wouldn't be easily possible to do online matches, trade, leaderboards, etc. without first reworking a bunch of the games' systems. And to be able to interact with one another in some ways.
    And there are the e-reader card bonuses they've included from the recent news update several days ago (at the time of this comment).
    Although, I guess what I'm also bummed out about is Battle Network 5 Double Team. Would have been an amazing addition to the collection, but I guess it would be way more work than they needed.

    I pre-ordered it as soon as I could just because I loved the Battle Network series back the day. I just hope a Star Force Legacy Collection is on the way. I already have all the other Legacy Collection games, so why not complete the set?

    I own the 3 and 5 games games on original hardware so yeah, I wish pricing for all of them was 40-50 for all. If you've never played 3 or 2 though then it's worth it just for those 2 games alone. As far as I'm concerned 3 is one of the best games of all time for me with the secret area postgame playing a big part in that. Hopefully new people give these games a try too.

    I for one am definitely hyped to get it because the only one I played was Battle Network 5 and I pretty much 100% just about everything in that game as the years went by so all the other 5 games I know nothing about and I'll just play the other version of the 5th game. (Which I had Team Protoman.)

    I think by "only available separately in digital form" it just meant they're still two different games even when bundled, the physical version probably has a combined game with a menu selecting which one you enter kinda like zero/zx

  • @PluckyInc
    @PluckyInc ปีที่แล้ว +3

    honestly, the main thing i'd be concerned about is the retention of Boktai content, like sure you technically see Otenko on a poster in one of BN4's versions, but it's kind of another thing to include a self-insert of Hideo Kojima; like Konami is probably mad for royalties and would definitely shove Boktai under the bus, but it'd be kind of a miracle for them to be A-OK with the Kojima cameo.
    Also, if they include E-Reader Mod Cards in some way like the Zero Collection (DS) already has done, it'd be neat if they actually made the jump for the english versions of 5 and 6. the E-Reader functionality for 4 is coded in western localisations entirely fine but disabled. there's people who did reverse-engineer the Japanese cards and created english-functional variants. (assuming you enabled the menu previously).
    It might also help that all E-Reader content is actually on-cart, and isn't simply just information that's generated by the cards themselves. (rather than being like the Super Mario Advance 4 series cards. people HAS made custom level cards for that game). Zero 3 and 4's E-Reader content were just internal game flags, which got localized.

    • @PluckyInc
      @PluckyInc ปีที่แล้ว

      @@hammylove821 i guess the Boktai IP might be fine, but having Kojima standing there just sounds like they're giving affiliation with the company. like poeple would probably know Kojima produced Boktai but it's a lot less of an issue compared to Metal Gear Solid.
      Even dominos pizza in japan had to delete their Hatsune Miku ads showing the CEO because they stood down. probably just boils down to if Konami wouldn't ask for much royalties just to show Django+Boktai elements at all or what, or if they'd just pull a full Namco and edit over him like they did with Ms Pac-Man.

    Battle Network 7 is unlikely, since the end of BN6 wrapped up Lan's arc. What's more likely is a sequel series featuring Lan's son Patch. Probably Battle Network X, as BN5 and BN6 already set the stage for BNX (i.e; Darkloids are basically Mavericks, Copybots could enable Mavericks to invade the human world, and of course, Colonel.EXE's existence).

    One thing of note is the most recent information put out by Capcom that came out after this video was uploaded.
    The legacy collection will also support the originally Japanese exclusive e-reader cards for battle network 4 through 6. This matters a ton because it opens up a ton of new doors for customization that were never available to anyone outside of Japan. And even if you were a kid in Japan at the time the odds of you having all of the cards at your disposal was pretty low. This is going to severely change the landscape of battle in these games now that everyone has access to them.

Then when I had an android phone I was able to rom download and finish 1,3,4, and 5. Never got around to beating 2 and 6. Did the most work on 3 but never 100% it. I’m so glad people will be able to experience these games and I honestly always felt that the way it ended the story was a bit early. I mean I get it was just telling their years before middle school and ends right when they are about to become preteens/teenagers but I really would’ve loved more stories for the characters as teenagers. Everyone used to say hey let them grow up and how the series was dying after 3 came out which was true. But I feel if we get some more games that talk about their middle school/high school years it’ll feel so fulfilling! Still have the same ending from before though but PHOTOS OF THE CHARACTERS GROWN UP PLEASE🥹
