Megaman Battle Network Legacy Collection Gameplay
The series description as found on the official site is as follows:
“2001 saw the birth of a brand-new Mega Man series with the release of the first Mega Man Battle Network game.
Set in a near-future world where advanced network technology has become the norm, the game captured the hearts of young children as they embarked on an adventure alongside the relatable protagonist. Complete with engaging game systems that combined elements of card battle and action games, the unique Data Action RPG went on to spawn a hit series.
Accompanying comics and cartoons went even further to cement the legacy of the series.”
“The year is 200X. Rapid growth of internet technology has given rise to Network Society. People carry with them PETs, mobile devices equipped with sentient programs called NetNavis, which they use in order to enjoy the many benefits the network provides. But even though the network has improved their way of life it has also brought with it new outlets for cybercrime.
The protagonist, Lan Hikari, and his NetNavi, MegaMan.EXE, must work together to solve numerous incidents.”
It will feature the return of the PET (Personal Terminal) screen, which is a handy device that offers a range of useful features, such as the NetNavi. This simulated avatar can be called upon to perform a variety of tasks over the network. There's MegaMan who appears in a 3D form to help you navigate the title selection and gallery screens in the game. He also has a range of different voiced reactions that add to the game's immersive experience.
The Art Gallery is packed full of official illustrations, rare rough designs, and concept art. In addition to this, “Mystery Data” is included, which features artwork used for events and merchandise. Altogether, there are over 1000 pieces of art for players to enjoy.
With the Music Player, players can listen to a total of 188 songs taken from the Mega Man Battle Network games. The music can be set to repeat or used as the background music for the gallery.
