About Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection
Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection will upload all 10 mainline Mega Man Battle Network titles, including graphics filters and additional bonus content, to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 (PS4™), and PC via Steam on April 14, 2023. The story of Mega Man Battle Network takes place in the near-future interconnected world of Net Society, which depends upon computer programs known as Network Navigators (or NetNavis for short) to manage everything from their toasters to city power grids. While the networked age brings all manner of convenience, it has also imported a wave of cybercrime eroding all levels of society. In these games, players take on the role of Lan Hikari using their PErsonal Terminal (or PET) and his NetNavi, MegaMan.EXE, to confront the culprits behind these cybercrimes. Players control MegaMan.EXE as he explores the net, engages in grid-based combat, and uses Battle Chips to gain devastating abilities capable of deleting even the most sinister viruses.
