Megaman Battle Network

Megamanny · 07-05-2006, 08:36 PM

Does anyone even play this?

I fee like I'm the only one in the U.S. that actually enjoys these games. I know they are a COMPLETE hit in Japan what with tournaments, tv shows, conventions, anything you name it.

I've played through about every single one.

Am currently playing MMBN5DTDS and I definitely love it. I hated 4 as the story line was the same and it was boring and repetitive.

MMBN2 was by far one of the best ones I ever played. I actually played through 2 and 3 before I got a chance to play 1 as I didn't get a GBA till about 2 years after it was released.

They really need to make the series be playable through WiFi over the world as I never get to experience the PvP battles due to mainly my other friends HATING the series with a passion.

P.S.

My name is Megamanny and if you didn't catch it at first I am a HUGE megaman fan. Though I don't own any games though I've played through just about every single one made.

Still have yet to play Super Rockman Adventure though.

They are fucking awesome awesome awesome. Like that ridiculous. I've played all of them except 5. 6 (the one with cybeasts) came out recently. I beat gregar in the span of three days. When 4 came out, I beat it in 3 days.

basically constant playing.

Because it is that awesome.

I'm glad to see someone else who loves the series.

Its a shame its over.

Megamanny · 07-05-2006, 09:37 PM

Is it confirmed that it is actually over?

I haven't played 6 yet as I just only recently got MMBN5 a few days ago but have been playing it like crazy.

I'm curious as to why they didn't do MMBN6 like the DS version.

I'm hoping for 6 to be a good ending, heck, I don't even know why they are ending it already. Its the most short lived megaman series that was just pumping one right out after another.

Not to mention Megaman Legends.

Rush More! · 07-06-2006, 04:33 PM

Well, I don't want to give away the ending of 6 to much, so I'll just give a general account of why I believe its over. This goes into nothing about the game, and really won't ruin anything unless you are hyper-anal
It talks about what happens to the main characters and secondary chars in the future

EvangelionUnit03 · 07-06-2006, 10:33 PM

I heard 6 was more or less the same thing, but I haven't played 4 and 5 at all.
I was impressed with 1, when it came out.
I freaking loved 2 because it allowed the most flexibility with the folders. The chip duplication for NPC trades allowed for a insane Bodyguard folder.
3 was pretty disappointing, though.

Buy 6?

Yes. 4 and 6 were the best two, in my opinion, though four's method of getting all the combinations was really annoying (multiple playthroughs to get all the navis)

Monster in a box · 07-07-2006, 11:49 PM

I played 1 and thought it was great, played 2 and thought it was better, played 3 and thought it was fantastic...but didn't bother with 4 because I heard such bad things about it. I do intent to get around to it at some point...I just don't want to pay for it.

Rush More! · 07-08-2006, 09:19 PM

4 is better for multiplayer than single play, IMO

Alchemist_Almighty · 07-10-2006, 08:32 AM

BN4 almost led me to stop playing the series because of having to play through the game multiple times. My favorite version is BN3 Blue, simply because the amount of things to do after beating the game is crazy for a GBA, almost like how Pokemon works. I have Double Team DS and got Falzar recently. It's sad that they are ending it, but I believe they are ending all of the current series(es?) so that they can give full focus to Megaman ZX when it releases.

I think X8 ended the X series, Zero 4 ended the Zero series, and BN6 ends the BN series.

Earthstrike · 07-10-2006, 12:42 PM

I got t one through 4 in that order and played them all through.
I found 3 to be the best of that group, then 2, then 1, then 4.
My god Four was terrible. It didn't live up to the past MMBN games. Four tried to do so much but I feel that the focus on the dark chips, which obviously fell short of P.A.s didn't serve much of a purpose. I may get 5 for the DS one day, and same goes for 6. Also 6 was said to be the pinnacle of the series but I believe there is a 7 in development.

Alchemist_Almighty · 07-10-2006, 11:28 PM

Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of the dark chips either. I mean, it was cool and all, but I'm not risking 1 HP to use them. I did, however, save before battles and try them out just to see what they do, but other than that I didn't use them.

Double Team DS is pretty good, and since it's both Protoman and Colonel, you get 2 games in one with some DS gimmicks added (some voice acting and a touch screen PET for starters). Not to mention that last I saw it was $20.

Monster in a box · 07-12-2006, 09:12 PM

Yeah, about that voice acting...you can't turn if off, can you? That's kinda why I haven't just skipped 4, and gone to 5. I don't want to pay $30 for the GBA ver is the DS ver is better, but I don't want the DS ver if Megaman is going to be talking to me the whole time...

Also, here's a fun story. My little brother stupidly bought a used copy of MMBN3W today (I already have White) because he didn't see a price tag on Blue, and thought it would be more expensive. I brought the game back up to the register, and and asked if I could exchange it for Blue, and it turned out Blue was two dollars cheaper. Yup.

Syxx · 07-12-2006, 10:31 PM

I'm workin my way through the series. I played 1, I'm playing 3 white now, I bought 4 red to play next. They didn't have 2 at the store but i can just look it up on gamestops web site and go to the store to get it. Anyway I like the series a lot and the game is really addicting.

Alchemist_Almighty · 07-12-2006, 11:37 PM

The voice acting thing doesn't happen ALL the time. Megaman will say phrases like "You've got e-mail, Lan!" and Lan will say "Jack in! Megaman, Execute!" and "Battle Routine, Set!" But the whole storyline isn't vocal.

Plus, it's kind of cool having the touch screen PET. Also, if you have a GBA version of a BN game in your GBA slot you'll hear a remixed version of that game's battle music instead of BN5s, which is pretty damn cool, if you ask me.

Some kid playing DDR once tried to convince me that Megaman Battle Network 3 was the GREATEST GAME EVER CONCEIVED BY THE HANDS OF HUMANKIND.
