MEGA MAN BATTLE NETWORK LEGACY COLLECTION FEATURES EVERY BATTLE NETWORK GAME IN ONE SINGLE RELEASE
The Battle Network games are set in the near future in the interconnected world of Net Society, which needs computer programs called Network Navigators to manage everything from regular appliances to city power grids. However, the digital age has also brought a wave of cybercrime that erodes all levels of society.
Players take on the role of Lan Hikari using their PErsonal Terminal or PET and his NetNavi, MegaMan.EXE to confront cybercriminals and put a stop to them. Players will control Mega Man.EXE as he explores the NET, takes part in grid-based combat, and uses Battle Chips to gain new powerful abilities to destroy sinister computer viruses.
In terms of new features, the Legacy Collection has optional high-resolution filters that will enable players to enjoy smoother, less pixelated visuals. The filters can be turned on or off at any time. The collection also includes 1,000 pieces of concept art, character sketches, and illustrations in the Collection's Gallery. There will also be a Mystery Data section that will have exclusive illustrations from past events and images of licensed goods from this era of Mega Man video games. Additionally, fans will be able to enjoy the Music Player, with more than 180 tracks from all 10 games.
More details on the 2023 release for Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection will be revealed later on. You can check out the announcement trailer below:
