Which Versions of the Mega Man Battle Network Games Should You Play? All Ports Reviewed & Compared

Who would have thought a MegaMan game that came out in the early 2000's whose main premise involves the Internet would be so relevant today

So basically, for the majority of the games, it is best to play them on the Legacy Collection versions, except for BN1 where the DS version is arguably better thanks to the gameplay overhauls that it received. Neat.

ADDENDUM: An Update on 10.12.23 has removed Denuvo. An update on 7.3.23 made the following changes: There's now a black border option as well as a language voice select for Mega Man. Additionally, custom screen time in pvp was increased to 30 seconds. There were various bug fixes as well, including the bugged BN6 english Virus Battle rewards that are highlighted in this video.

I'm kind of surprised by the Boktai crossover given the different publishers.

Re-uploaded to update the endslate. Shouldn't have taken half the day to render and upload but here we are

What sucks is the The Updates of DoubleTeam and OSS were just overlooked entirely. We didn't even get the option to use Double Team's Alternate Soundtrack.

I already knew that Mega Man's Voice Actor from Mega Man NT Warrior reprised his role in the legacy collection, but I didn't knew the same happened for Rockman.EXE's Voice Actor from the Rockman.EXE Series.

Can't stress enough, really thank you for highlighting version differences. This was a huge undertaking, and you delivered.

Been playing a bit of the collection and the games are still great. Buster Max Mode makes it easy to just skip pass a lot of the random battles. But I reallh wish they added a map toggle to every game like how they were added into Operation Shooting Star and Double Team DS

Damn, Austin went IN on this collection! Thank you for this video, it really helps folks make a well educated decision before pulling the trigger.

So many changes, oh my! The MMBN community is one that really did a heck of a job reporting on all of this, and thank you for covering it in this video! Catch you in the next one!

15:51 "I KNEW IT! HE'S USING MY VIBRATOR!" Did the spanish translator just ran the JP text through Google translate or what?????

I really need to try this series. I’ve heard great things about it. Now it’s easily accessible!

Been waiting for this since the stream. Good stuff

Really commend the work put into this video. Very detailed and informative, some of this stuff I didn’t even KNOW was different, and I’m a diehard BN fan. Great work. 👍

IM sad that legacy collection doesn’t have crossover theme menu and crossover battle theme

Never watched before, but I’m really looking forward to seeing the differences between the separate 3-6 versions!

Jack In!, megaman execute! that shit was iconic. thanks for this video to help me realize im not crazy and it actually did exist in the game

0:29 AYO WHAT?? DJANGO?!?!

I'm still torn if I should get the Legacy Collection because of the lack of Double Team DS features. BN5DS' Party Nav feature is great to have when backtracking around certain areas for things you've missed. It's cool not to have to worry as much about healing Megaman in tougher areas when waiting for Omega versions of bosses to show up, not to mention using said party in that battle. I guess the 100x buster fixes this issue, but the party system felt more special to use. The music and sound overhaul also make it feel way better than the GBA games in my opinion.
