Capcom Announced 'Mega Man Battle Network' for Modern Consoles and PC

Capcom announced a new compilation of retro titles named the 'Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection.' This collection includes ten Mega Man games from the Battle Network spin-off series. These games challenge the player to enter the 'Net Society' and investigate disturbances alongside the help of collectible characters and powerful equipment. Battles take place on a six-by-three grid where each player begins with a three-by-three half of this grid. Throughout a match players can move around, use abilities, and attack strategically to emerge victorious.

The Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection will include the full story mode for each title, allowing new and old players alike to enjoy the full Mega Man Battle Network story. This will be the best way to experience each of these titles, as the new collection brings features such as high display resolutions, unique visual filters, and over 1,000 pieces of original artworks to enhance the players' experiences.
