These games are unquestionably improved in this package, but while they're fine, they don't do enough to build on the games from the first collection.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is a content-rich collection, not all of which has aged well. The brilliant combat system enhances the collectible nature of the chips, never-frequent random combat and little more than adequate technical realisation may not make the games suitable for the seasoned audience of 2023.

For its part, if you already have all of them in your GBA collection, you are not going to find something from another world.

It's hard to really criticize anything in this collection. Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection offers everything a fan of the series could want: all the titles in the series, an online mode, some extra content and a more than acceptable visual quality. Obviously, if you're not a fan of the series, you might as well go on your way. But for those who are interested, this is a good buy and a good title to have in your collection.

Volume 2 of the Battle Network Legacy Collection is the definitive experience for new and returning players. BN6's excellent combat design and PvP finally have the online component to make them shine, and BN5 is a worthy entry in its own right.

Despite some poorly translated dialogue and missed opportunities for other remaster additions, Mega Man Battle Network is well worth revisiting or experiencing for the first time.

Aside aside, that’s what this particular Legacy Collection is all about, to me. In a lot of ways the early Game Boy Advance years were all over the place. The rules hadn’t been established yet, and the potential was higher than ever. Anime had penetrated the mainstream, Call of Duty didn’t exist and nobody really hated Sonic the Hedgehog yet. Experiments and sequel vomiting could happen at the same time, and games were still small enough to support niche audiences of all sizes. Battle Network, especially in retrospect, feels like a poster child of that time. It’s probably a little overwhelming to dive in now, and lord knows how corny the Y2K tech jargon reads, but you can’t find a better singular piece of media that sums it all up so neatly.

The Mega Man Battle Network series was a huge part of my childhood, but now I get to appreciate these card-collection tactical RPGs from a whole new perspective. While some of these entries are mostly fun nostalgia trips, most of them hold up just as well today, and the restored content from the Patch Cards alongside the robust online functionality make this collection the definitive way to experience the series.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection includes the 10 main Game Boy Advance installments of the Battle Network subsaga divided into two volumes. We are facing a notable compilation, with interesting additions and news, in addition to all the content of the Japanese editions that did not arrive in their day. The gameplay undergoes a radical change going from action games and platforms to strategic RPGs, so perhaps the fan of the classic Mega Man will be lost with the proposal, although if we get hold of the formula, we have hours of fun ahead.
