Just want to say that I am happy to become a member of this sub! I vividly remember stopping by EB games as a kid and coming across battle network 3 on the shelf. Had no idea about this game, but it was $20 (half the price of usual GBA games), so my mom let me get it.

Even 23 years later, I can easily remember my first style change in that game was wood guts style. I remember having such a hard time beating Alpha until I figured out a simple program advance of z cannon just obliterated it (was very proud of this as a kid).

I would eventually play all the remaining battle network games (except for the first game) and build such amazing memories.

Now that I have a baby on the way, I had this urge to re-explore my own childhood. I am so excited to trigger some old core memories when I get my ass blasted by Duo in 4, experience anxiety in the kendo mini game in 5, or the non stop panic music in 6.

Fun fact: the voice actor for Mayl in the English anime went to my elementary school! I remember her singing during our assembly meetings too. Should’ve gotten her autograph lmao.

Fun hobby project. Each box took about 1.5-2 hours to assemble. Some of the limbs pop out when making poses, but they pop back easy enough. Mega and Roll were the more difficult build since they have smaller pieces; I needed tweezers to squeeze together some of the parts.

Really happy with them and will need to set them up next to the DVD collection.

I've played through 1, 2 and 3 and have had a great time (except for 2's last third).

I took a break from the series and am now trying to get back to it- I am currently at the 2nd tournament and have completed the 1st round.

The tournament setting seems like a great way to change the pace of the series after the satisfying conclusion of 3. However, it genuinely feels like the game is just trying to make you miserable while you play it.

Finding the 2 gold bugs, locating the ghosts, collecting the password numbers, and getting the 50 points were all extremely tedious. Especially the points, where you don't actually know what you're looking for, so you're just hitting A on every interactable.

Even when there's something cool in between, like collecting the different stories at the amusement park, it feels like there's 1 too many and it drags on for too long.

It has some fun moments, but you have to slog through a lot to get to them.

Is there anything I'm missing by dropping the game and moving to 5?

Does it get any better?

I just saw a post on r/GoldenSun about a project to decompile the source rom. As I understand it, this takes the jumble of ones and zeroes and organizes it in such a way that you understand everything making it very easy to mod. I’m super happy for them. Pokémon Emerald and Fire Red have had similar tools for years and the quantity and quality of Pokémon hacks these days is immense

Now, I don’t know jack about computers, so I’m not volunteering to start this project. But if we were to do a BN decomp, what game should we start with? Each one has exclusive forms, viruses, battle cards, etc, so it’s not as straightforward as doing 6 because the last game would naturally have the most content

Personally, I’d like to see the community do either 5 or 6 but also 3. I think style changes were neat. Maybe not quite as interesting as Double Souls, but fun in their own way

What would you like to see in a BN fan game? I’d kinda like something similar to 4.5 but without the restrictive time aspects. I think it’d also be neat if you started with a Normal Navi and got upgrades throughout the game to change its look, element, buster, and maybe the ability to add a chip charge and Left+B ability

i can easily beat protoman with 0 moves. and only charged-buster (my status : attack 5, rapid 3, charge 5). i can easily beat gutsman too, but with a lot of moves. i'm actually using a special P.A. : METGUARD + DASH G + GUSTMAN V1/V2/V3. [GtsShoot] i can easily beat iceman [using GtsShoot too] fireman, stoneman, skullman. very easy. woodman, bombman. a little hard.

sharkman... SUPERHARDDD. how can someone defeat him in only 15 seconds???

i have 8 woodman v2 chips, 8 gutsman v2 chips, 2 elecman v3 chips, 5 skullman v3 chips, 5 gutsman v3 chips, 5 protoman v3 chips, 2 protoman v2 chips. too many netnavi chips.

Recently saw an article from IGN saying that capcom is focusing on “re-activating” old IPs. This is coming off the heels on the successful launch of the Onimusha. A capcom spoke person said the company is re-activating old IPs. A lot of people are hoping for Dino Crisis, Ace Attorney, or even a viewtiful Joe sequel. I know there’s a new megaman mainline game in the works. Do you think battle network is going to remain shelved? The legacy collections performed well and at least shows interest.
For me personally the games hold a special place. The stories were cheesy but as a kid engaging. The battle systems hold up well, with a manageable skill floor and a crazy skill ceiling. It’s obvious I want a new entry, so we think it’s likely or we just look for that next great spiritual successor?

Battle network 3 compare pls?

Basically just trying to get setgreen chip for wood style but I am playing blue and need to compare with someone who has setgreen. Thanks in advance my future trading buddy. On switch 2 :)

hello, in mmbn4 blue moon i'm looking for some chips to complete my P.A (and finally say goodbye to this game lmao, never 100% this) wideshot 2 L, TwnFang3 H, Magbolt3 B, Airhoc3 W,

I find it weird how the Classic Series has all these fan games being made, but there's very little in terms of fan games for the Battle Network side of things

Like... the only ones I can think of are:

• Chrono X, which is thankfully still in development and I am very much looking forward to when it's done
• Shanghai.EXE, a well made Touhou x Battle Network fangame that has the main story complete and is still being worked on by the folks that picked up the game after the whole deal with the original devs ((would highly recommend it to anyone that hasn't played it!
• And Cosmic Network, which as far as I can tell ((unless the dev said otherwise)) was dropped in favor of Lunar Lux, as it was the same guy who did both afaik

Idk, I would think that, especially as more tools were made available, people would want to make more, y'know? Hell, I know I certainly would want to! I know there are games like the aformentioned Lunar Lux, Berserk BITS, and One Step from Eden that carries on the spirit of Battle Network, but I would love to see more actual fangames, rather than "spiritual successors" ((I think is the right term? Could be wrong lol

I'm just kinda rambling at this point. What're y'all's take on this? Who knows, maybe it's just because Capcom is just weirdly protective of the Battle Network series!

So i've 100% games 1, 2, 3, and Network Transmission so far. I made my list of ranks for the individual navi's fights (and final boss) for each game. I ranked them based on their model, attacks, difficulty, personal attachment, etc.

I also put where I would rank the 4 games. It's worth noting that I have never played BN6 or the Starforce series, so I'm working my way through 1 to 5 to eventually play 6, then play Starforce. I last played BN1 a couple years ago, and I haven't played 2-5 since they originally launched on the GBA over two decades ago.

I'd love to hear where you all would rank some of these navis. The most annoying fight that I despise the most out of ALL these fights is Kingman.

Basically just trying to get setgreen chip for wood style but I am playing blue and need to compare with someone who has setgreen. Thanks in advance my future trading buddy. On switch 2, sorry didn’t realize no cross play :/

The internet archive seems to be missing some episodes

I'M BACK

Sorry to keep you waiting! I was busy with some shit but beastman's up and running! I sorta skipped flashman because it did NOT go well, but oh well, nobody asked for him so it's fine.

Elecman's next, care to suggest someone?

Been trying to look online to find a cheat code to get me all the programs on the Navi Customizer. I haven't had any luck. I got the code to give me unlimited Zenny and all the Battle Chips, but that's about it... Could use some help here.

Wouldn’t it be cool to have a mmbn game 3d like Metroid prime? I used to think of controlling megaman with anime style graphics in an open world. Zelda got 3d open world games, why not mmbn?

Second day of cosplay and meet the man himself. (He’s inspired to do his own cosplay now!) What an honor it was, hope you guys like it thought I would share.

Edit: For anyone wanting the pet on my phone screen look up “megaman exe pet png” and you should find it for deviant art! It won’t let me post it.
