Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection - Switch

This series is something unique with its mechanics. A fun young shounen styled story with a grid and semi-turn based battle system, but not how other games do it. You can actively move through your 9x9 grid and the turns are essentially cool downs to pick new cards from your deck.There are field effects, card combos, some entries have an emotion guage or other effects. There's a ton of customization in how you play, challenging battles (though some may feel unfair at times), but they're all possible if you build your deck correctly.The only down side is a lot of random encounters can slow down the gameplay, but the new super buster mode just for this collection can speed you through these encounters when they get tedious. Otherwise, they can be useful for grinding up cards and money as post-battle rewards, and most bosses have ways to rebattle tougher versions of their ghosts.This all said, maybe skip or use the super buster mode to quickly go through the first game, as it is far more of a proof of concept than anything else, much like how other game boy advanced games started new series off rough with some sequels becoming some of the best games on the console. If you don't mind some back tracking and sometimes tedious overworld puzzles/challenges, this series can be one of the best gaming experiences out there if the rest of what I talked about is your cup of tea

Nostalgia blasting, buster max-ing fun. This collection spans all 10 titles and 6 generations of the Megaman Battle Network games for one great price. All content is included as far as I can tell, download chips, online battles, the whole gamut.

Love this game great pickup put down game it was originally on the Game boy advance and has been updated and looks great

As far as collections go, this one is quite good. I really appreciate the borders for modern TVs, and the filter options are a nice touch to make sure the game looks good on the big screen. It's also really cool that all the missing content from Battle Network 6 has been restored, and can be played officially in English for the first time. It also includes online multiplayer - not every game needs it, but it's a quality of life improvement that the series needed, now that it's no longer constrained to old hardware.However, this is a warts-and-all re-release - no tweaking, very few other quality of life updates. The games do allow you to access the eReader cards that were Japan-exclusive whenever you want, which is nice and can prevent some softlocks in some games. On launch, there was a way to softlock yourself in the English language version of Battle Network 6, but that's since been patched. So, make sure your game is updated before doing the Battle Network 6 post-game.This game will not fix some of the problems people had with Battle Network 4, or even the clunkiness of the original Battle Network. So, keep that in mind. Regardless, the Battle Network Series is a lot of fun, with some pretty unique mechanics, one that doesn't neatly fit into a genre, but in the best kind of way.

Great game very fun and wit some power ups to help you beat the game faster

Awesome collection for a nostalgic retro 90s RPG experience. For $30 a must

The Mega Man Battle Network games were some of my favorite growing up. I was ecstatic to be able to play them on newer consoles and larger screens. These games are a bit dated, however, and could have benefitted from a few QoL improvements such as reduced volume of random encounters.

It was perfect, I wish I would have gotten a second copy just to keep it sealed.
