DESCRIPTION

Mega Man Battle Network turns the popular platform shooter franchise on its head by introducing RPG elements, strategic battles, and Pokémon-style searches for (and link cable-trading of) "battle chips."

Players take the role of a young hacker named Lan who enters cyberspace under the guise of "Mega Man.EXE" to battle crime. "Mega Man.EXE" is the codename of Lan's personal digital assistant, which can make phone calls, send and receive emails, keep a calendar, store data, shop on the web, and check news from around the world.

While in the real world, Lan can talk to people (and observe objects) to gather information, and can enter the cyber world by "jacking-in" to the PC in his room (or in several other locations). While "online," Lan takes the familiar form of the Blue Bomber himself to battle dangerous computer virus characters in real time on scrolling, isometrically-viewed grids. This is also where he can purchase (or find or win in battles) chips and power-ups (such as armor and rapid fire shots). Battle chips are used for such purposes as changing the standard blaster to a sword, attacking enemies, and healing your character.

Designed specifically as a handheld game, this release introduces Mega Man to the 32-bit power of the Game Boy Advance. With patience, skill, and a little luck, Lan can collect all 175 Battle Chips and perhaps restore peace to virtual space once and for all. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide

Mega Man Battle Network (GBA) by: Roxas-UrBoxas

“So many people hated this game and I loved it! Being a gamer that has felt nothing but frustration from the Megaman series means I must be a rare exception that doesn't mind playing a Megaman I can handle and beat without dying five million...”

Mega Man Battle Network (GBA) by: Vegeta

“I wasn't a fan of it, and still am not huge on it, I don't think games like this are in the spirit of Mega Man. Mega Man is an action platformer...not a sidekick, to a real boy. He isn't an AI and it seems too unrealistic portraying a cyberworld.”

“Seeing as it's not canon to the original series, I think you should look past the "Classic" Megaman. I love the 2D ones, and its no something that you can compare since they are so different. As an action RPG, MMBN has one of the most interesting and dynamic battle systems seen on a handheld console. I urge you to try MMBN3 and enjoy it for what it really is.”
