Will you buy or pirate the best Megaman Legacy Collection yet or will you stick to emulation and fanmade patches?
>source ports
Still not widescreen. Lazy.
This. It's already a source port, you can touch up the sprites without resorting to a filter. Even run them through Waifux2 or something at least.
Also, split in 2 = no buy
I might buy it when its on sale for like 20$ on pc. Until then ill pirate it on my switch, dont really care about pvp
I'll probably just buy it on my switch to be honest although I do have all already fixed versions on my wiiu/3ds
>listening to people
>giving us 20 year old ports for 60$
>listening to people
Fuck off
You don't have a clue how hard it is to remaster and port a game to the current generation. So why don't you take your uneducated mouth breathing ass out of this site and shut the fuck up.
You have no clue either, so go fuck yourself you bootlicking retard
>UH uMm NO U!!
Spoken like a true retard. Get the fuck out of here xD
Cope retard. Its because of losers like you that we keep getting the same trash instead of an actual new game. You're no better than cattle, 0 critical thinking
I'm not broke bro. You're the fucking cattle dawg *leans in for a kiss*
*kisses you on the mouth*
I might be cattle but you're gay now
>new game of a series that already had an ending
being a retard like you must be painful
Says the retard willing to play 60$ for a cashgrab
says the retard that shitpost about games he didn't even play
>esl shitskin emoji
>giving opinions
For the past 10 years we have had threads when Capcom was announcing legacy collections for all of their games hoping it was finally time for MMBN. There are people here who got disappointed every conference they did because of how much they wanted this to be true. They not only gave us these games and made them more accessible but they also gave us multiplayer and some bonus stuff. And then comes this fucking cocksucker. Where the fuck did you crawl from fucker because i sure think you weren't even born when people were having fun with this series. Go organize your discord raids somewhere else
>give
Sell*
just look at how far the flop posting has come with this, we're back to part 1 and they're just flat out lying now because there's nothing actually negative to say about the collection outside of not including garbage like BCC or the DS features for 1/5
>t-they're just GBA roms!
source ports
>t-there won't be multiplayer at all!
>t-there won't be online multiplayer!
local and online multiplayer
>t-the boktai content is going to be removed!
it's in
>t-the japan only content isn't going to be in it!
we're getting that for the first time ever
Its incredible how much they are throwing stuff to see which one sticks the most. MMBN was never a main thing and had an avid fanbase that wasn't too big.No sequel begging, maybe the ocasional Starforce was bad from some guy who either didn't play it or didn't like the changes and people posting fanart which has been dead for a decade now. Can you guys imagine that we might get new fanart? Actually they announced they are bringing the 2 seasons of NT Warrior for free. Can we do a watchalong or something?
Cope all you want, the collection will flop like the rest of them, which it deserves given how capcom treats it. Have fun playing new content in fucking gachas
I don't really think you will find any person here to agree with you,you bumbling buffoon. There are like 100 people max who are still fans of MMBN here and this is the best outcome they could have possibly wanted. Go sperg in the Resident Evil thread, there's bound to be people agreeing with you there
The fact that no one is buying these collections because they've been burned too many times by capcom tells me plenty of people agree with me. Like i give a fuck if a gay like you agrees with me
>The fact that no one is buying these collections
since when and compared to what? they always performed well. you're just flat out lying now.
See a trend?
I see the most popular series selling better than the least popular one
>steam
Yeah, you're retarded.
Feel free to post your relevant data how the collections are doing great, besides your headcanon gay
Capcom not mentioning them in sales meetings as being disappointing saleswise. You do know that the Mega Man series has never actually been a blockbuster franchise right?
>the sales were always shit
lmao ok
see:
to what
Mega Man is not Resident Evil or Monster Hunter and has never done comparable sales numbers, and you're fucking retarded for expecting them to, but at least you've now outed yourself as a retarded frogposter.
see:
Have fun with that gacha for the next 10 years, because thats the only new mega man content youll ever see
Why do you think I want new content? If we get it then cool, if not, I've got exactly what I've always wanted here.
So yeah, suck my dick.
They're released 2-3 years apart?
According to capcom MMX Legacy Collection 1+2 sold 1.2 million (by the end of 2019), and the classic legacy collection (both 1+2) are at 2 million. I think those are respectable sales for the blue bomber.
MMZ/ZX of course sold worse than those two, but those have always been a bit niche. However, MMBN was huge in Japan back in the day, so I can imagine it selling pretty respectably as well.
>MMBN was never a main thing and had an avid fanbase that wasn't too big
Not trying to be too much of an ass but I hear this too often to not reply to it. Battle Network was fucking massive in Japan among kids at the time, it was very popular even if internationally it was just reasonably successful. There was so much fucking tie-in merch for the BN series that we just never got.
>>t-they're just GBA roms!
>source ports
bullshit, if they were they'd be 16:9
Why would they make them 16:9? All the previous Legacy Collections were actual ports, why would this be different? And not just because they already said in an interview they were ports and not roms running on an emulator.
>Why would they make them 16:9?
Let me ask you this, why are they using source code? What's the benefit over cheaper identical emulation?
emulators often suffer from inaccuracies, visual glitches, etc.
would the average normie give a shit?
Normalfags can't stand artifacts or other visual glitches.
Also consider the fact that they're adding online PVP, JP-exclusive stuff, the Boktai stuff, and fixing a few issues.
Let me ask you this before I answer, why did they do source ports for the Zero/ZX Collection? They did there.
But the answer is because it's easier to do multiplayer and implement eReader functionality with source ports. And we know they're doing both.
Then at that point, why not display the games in 16:9? It's a single byte change. The things you mentioned actually take more work than just displaying in widescreen and the latter is actually a noticeable, marketable improvement.
Because you know as well as I do that gays are going to complain that it's stretched or some shit when it isn't. There are still people to this fucking day who claim the physics in Super Mario Bros 2/3 on All Stars is different when it isn't.
Can't pirate it with Denuvo.
I'll buy it on steam to play on deck and to also support Megaman
>no Battle Chip Gate emulation
I've already bought the collection lmao
But I'm probably going to play the games on emulator standalone going forward.
I'll be buying it since I've been asking for it for nearly a decade now and it's more than I was even expecting. Shame that they're fixing BN4's translation though, the shit translation was part of the charm.
Switch or Ps4?
I wouldn't mind having it portable, but at the same time going for trophies might be fun...
Switch version still has the actual achievements, it's just not going to be at the system level.
Switch for me, the portable factor is too nice.
switch or steam deck are the only viable options
I can't imagine the PS4 version being anything but dead last in player numbers if you ever want to play PVP.
PC provided it runs on Steam Deck
Switch, the games originated on Nintendo so they stay on Nintendo.
Steam is the correct answer you tendie bitch
why the absolute FUCK would you buy it on steam? the fanbase is going to be almost entirely on switch because it's a nintendo franchise.
Like half of the series was on playstation but I bet it sells way more on steam anyway.
Name one Battle Network game on Playstation.
I'm talking about megaman in general you turbo autist.
And you're in a battle network thread you blind normalnavi.
because nintendo's online is garbage
>Denuvo
Isn't the game in nintendo shop already?
not going multiplatform is gay
Switch. PC a close second.
PS4 dead on arrival
It won't run well on switch
I'll buy it but probably only volume 2 for now since I just replayed 1-3 recently.
buying it for the small chance Capcom makes more MMBN
Missing opportunity to include and translate a port of the mobile-exclusive Phantom of Network.
Should have been a no-brainer.
>Will you buy or pirate the best Megaman Legacy Collection yet or will you stick to emulation and fanmade patches?
Guess i going to buy it so i can hope there would be more games of it in the future...
This. Even if it's unlikely, if you don't buy this it's your fault there are no more bn games.
>the NT Warrior anime try hard with be serious but ruined by the awful dub
why is there so much shitposting surrounding this fucking game? this is pretty much the best legacy collection in terms of adding what the fans want and including new/previously inaccessible features. the only real negative is the lack of crossplay. why do so many morons want this game to fail?
My mathmatically impossible chance hope is that they have events for pvp, to prevent OTK PA spam folders. A list of possible events:
>Can only use chips of a single/group of three (A,B,C...) codes
>Navi chips banned
>Only elemental chips
>No soul crosses
>No PA's
>Start with 10/max program chips
>Start in beast out for MM6
>Stages for all battles will begin as Grass/Lava/Poison...
Etcetera. Would be fun as hell and would increase the replayability, and keep people coming back.
>to prevent OTK PA spam folders
if there's ever gonna be events for PvP they'll most likely be BN5 and 6, the ones where PAs don't instantly win except for destroy pulse
isnt there already a MMBN6 "esports" scene already? what kind of rules do they have anyway?
There are none other than obvious ones like no cheating
there's also s modcard format
is it balanced for the most part? MMBN is always so full of broken shit I cant imagine how online PvP would go.
more balanced than what anyone would expect
Falzar is much "better" for PvP, but Gregar can still hold its own
modcard is a different story with falzar being miles better than gregar
free float/airshoes and hubbatch ain't no joke when modcards let you run multiple gigas without cucking your navicust
2-4 is not gonna happen. The best we will get is the prism and shakey glitches will not work. 2 is still going to be who can spam Gater the fastest OR who can form DarkMessiah first.
For those who never experienced using DarkMessiah/Darkness before, it's a 3000 damage instant win Program Advance. I think only one thing can dodge it, and that's pop up.
why the fuck was bn4's translation so bad anyway
they simply did not care
7 entries in 4 years bro.
Battle Network got MILKED, and this was during the time when Capcom was hellbent on turning their IPs into multimedia franchises.
buying it day 1 because these are literally the best mega man games. if you pirate it you don't get to complain about them not making new ones.
I bought the collection but will probably pirate anyways if Denuvo impacts performance greatly.
I'll buy it on switch just for the novelty of having all the games on one chip and to see what happens with pvp
Capcom is smart. split it in 2, make the most popular entry be in collection 1, and the most played online one be in collection 2.
gotta buy both
what does BN1 competitive looks like
Is it whoever rolls the PA first wins?
probably, online pvp is only really done on 5/6
is MMBN3 as good as I remember?
I played BN3 for the first time last year and loved it, so yes. Waiting for the collection now to play 4-6.
I actually have never played 4-6 to completion (had other stuff to do) and but beat 3 using every style main at least once so its actually gonna be pretty fun for me since it'll basically be like a first time for me
Give me an iceball M and I'll tell you.
fuck you jack frost you are not tricking me again
I'm going to fucking die from a terminal illness now.
3 was my first/favorite and no, it is not
2 was the peak
>kinda likely that BN4's translation will be fixed
Absolute horseshit, what do you base this on? You think they're scared about the fried chicken god getting them in trouble or something? They're not blowing money on re-TLing this.
I really do not see how multiplayer can work when everybody can just google "best build" and annoy the everliving shit out of new playeda
because the best builds will have counters
BN6 is the only balanced entry in the series when it comes to netbattling
>Boktai content is intact
Where/when was this confirmed?
newest trailer shows patch cards, specifically the BN6 Django patch card
the director in an interview comfirmed 100% that all the games are based on the japanese original version and NOTHING is cut, they also got permission from konami to use boktai stuff
If true. This is uncharacteristically generous of Konami, part of me wishes this means there could be a Boktai collection soon, but that might be asking for too much.
More likely they figured they weren't doing anything else with it so might as well get a free pay day from the licensing fees.
they have been acting nicer lately
they allowed dead cells to have castlevania stuff, allowed the la mulana devs access to an old game of konami to make a remake, and are giving many different devs access to their IPs
>they also got permission from konami to use boktai stuff
thats cool, too bad they wont have the boktai pvp battles, which wouldnt really be possible but had a lot of fun doing them with my cousin.
Guys, we’re gonna save Boktai.
Eh, I'm not getting my hopes up until I actually see the missions are still there.
https://news.capcomusa.com/2023/03/09/connect-with-the-latest-mega-man-battle-network-legacy-collection-info/
Again, I want to see it for myself.
they said the crossover battle is out (for obvious reasons) and that you get the reward points for it (for the chip traders) from regular netbattling
That makes more sense sadly
tbf Crossover battle would've required them to actually include Boktai 2 and that could've complicated things in the future.
imagine how kino it would be if they make a boktai collection thats compatible with the mmbn collection
only way that would happen is if konami and capcom merged
I am not paying $60 for a fucking GBA game
Eat shit
That's right, you're paying for 10 games with enhanced features.
that's why this collection is great, you're paying $60 for 10 GBA games instead of $60 for one
>10 games
This, fucking period.
I paid maybe 34.99 per game on release, even just buying 1 of each version, that's $210. Add in 3,4,5,6 alt versions, $350.
Day one buy for me. Favorite mega man games easy. It's got tons of content and easily justifiable for me price wise. Just having an easy way of replaying it on my Steam deck without emulation and with modern achievements and interface is enough for me.
I just don't know if I want to be bamboozled by a Capcom collections again. I'll get it on sale if I really really feel like it.
What's wrong with Capcom collections? From what I've seen and heard they're all pretty solid.
I don't know why the newer X and Megaman collections had to be split when 6th gen games could fit the entirety (at least up to that point with X) and MORE.
No crossplay for any of their fighting game collection (Divide your niche audience more)
Most new 'features' are just YOU CAN CHEAT NOW (savestates, rewinding, the new buster in this colleciton)
There are some nice gimmicks but nothing that makes me consider paying full price. It's a collection for people who don't know better.
Cant wait for the new wave of fanart
don't care, will keep playing star force
rogue noise users are the joggers of the sf3 meta
god i hope the autist come back to the site on release and we get some pvp matches going
>no more load chaud
awww
never played the games but loved the anime will buy it on switch eventually, hopefully that shitty filter is a toggle but they seem to be really listening to the fans on this one so at worst it'll be in an update
>hopefully that shitty filter is a toggle
already hard confirmed senpai, please be excited for super comfy threads in two months
fuck yeah
and let me just dig out that screenshot while I'm at it, theres a toggle for the filter in the very first trailer since everyone complains about it
I forgot I may be stupid
Not often a collection at full price is even nearing worth it so I do appreciate the effort, only thing I would want added is unlocking codes in-game like through achievements, I know you can just look them up but I like everything being in the game itself
Making the separate volumes cost more than just the bundle is annoying though since they knew that if they cost the same people would just buy vol 1 and wait for a sale for vol 2
I'll get it at instantly once it goes on sale. Learned the hard way with the Z/ZX collection
but that collection was perfect
is MMBN4 as bad as I remember? I never got that far in it in the first place so I'll probably play 4-6 when I get the collection and then 1-3 for the 100% feels
Yes, but honestly with "Game Journalist Mode" or Patch cards it might be reasonable.
It's great on a 2nd or 3rd playthough, it's just the 1st one which is a little rough
Never played it more than once, and it was a huge slog. But apparently, if you link it to the opposite version which 100%'d the game, all the nothing arcs get replaced with the opposite version's arcs or something. If true, that'd make your playthrough far more tolerable.
Unless the LC fixed it, I'd advise against doing that.
Fucking hell, I forgot about that. But surely this of all things had to be fixed, along with the chugging during Woodman's scenario.
for the millionth time THIS ISN'T REAL. IT'S BULLSHIT. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN.
why would someone lie on the internet?
Probably because they're a dumbass who fell for a childhood rumor. The source is literally "a friend of mine" and there are zero other claims of it ever happening to anyone outside of this one LP.
Yeah, it sucks. Not that anyone would play BN for story, but 4 scenario design is actually so retarded that it hurts, and it’s utter pain if you’re a completionist. Nobody sane could place it up the the pedestal 2 and 3 are on.
Speaking of garbage: I’m already kind of amused at the idea of people coming to the series the first time and getting stumped with the mess that the internet in BN1 is to navigate. It was always a pain, but I’d expect for it to feel even worse for those who play it first time now, not in early 00’s when people generally had more patience for bullshit.
Its only the later parts of 1's internet that are bad. You can easily complete the story without ever going that deep.
all of it is bad just because it all looks the same. it actively deincentivizes you from exploring, unlike the internet areas of the rest of the games.
I'd say now that the fan translation has been out for a while, Operate Shooting Star is the only reasonable way to play 1.
The first 3 games (and 6) are structured to have enemies in three tiers with correspondingly stronger drops. The game gets harder as you get further but generally you compensate with better chips, and by the end of the game you have basically your entire kit.
In 4, your entire first playthrough is going to be the first tier of enemies, plus EX versions that are tougher to beat but don't have BETTER drops per se (they instead can drop different letter code versions of their chips that the normal variants can't), and you'll only have half of your transformations (with two chosen randomly). Your second playthrough is all second tier enemies, and two more transformations. Third playthrough is all third tier enemies and the final transformation. If you missed any chips from the earlier tiers you have to beat the game again to cycle back around.
The plot also is supposed to be about evil battle chips and darkness in the hearts of humanity and AI alike and an asteroid threatening the world, but all that is basically forgotten for the majority of the game as you do a lot of randomized filler scenarios - even that wouldn't be so bad but there's only like one that even ties into the original story beat and the rest of them are stuff like "we accidentally made a Navi cry so hard the internet submerged". The one actual villain in the game you don't beat until postgame in a Boktai crossover.
It has some great Navi design and some of the best OST.
That being said, the story is either tournament base with tons of smaller stories, the dark side, and a giant fuck you meteor. So its not ganna win in the story department so what else? Oh the chips are deliberately shit with the aim to have the players use the Dark Chip and guilt trip them. Of course, this is avoidable with hockey punk... until you realize that weapon doesn't work with Duo. Oh yeah, Duo. Fuck Duo. He is bullshit with a stupid battle mechanic that make the fight hard than it should be. Yeah, there is a good reason why no one really favor 4 that highly.
BN5 has better OST
I could never beat it cuz I never got the right chip for the stupid Russian’s chapter even though I went to the areas the guide said to get it from. I liked it up to that point though. It was fun to fight actual heelnavis for once, wish they kept that for other games.
I wouldn't have cared about it if they hadn't added online. sure there's online play available but it's in a well established community that's hard to get into with the skill level of players who've been theory crafting the game for years. I'm excited to get a chance to play against new players
I'll buy it for the Switch when it's on sale
Which is the best version of each game to play?
I already know Team Colonel for 5 is supposed to be the "canon" one, but what of the other games?
The only one that's "objectively" better than the other one is BN3 Blue, but even in that case I prefer BN3 White because of the chip codes available + having three Areagrab * in a shop as opposed to just one in Blue.
>blue
>blue
>colonel
>flip a coin
just hoping we can get a legends collection source port next, or an RE1-3 collection I am tired of capcom pretending no one wants early 3d game collections
I'd very much like an official re-release of RE3; it's my absolute favourite.
which version of 3 had extra costumes DC or PC
They can fix BN4 all they want, but they better not touch BN2's translation.
the esrb rating basically already confirmed that BN2 is untouched
Will it have cool new music like the MMZ/ZX collection did? I was really pleased with how good that new music was even though it was just for menus and Z-chaser.
the vol 1 + 2 bundle has the custom PET packs which have 2 arranged tracks each
>even though it was just for menus and Z-chaser.
See this killed me in the Capcom Fighter Collection too. We got some great new tracks, tracks we got through preordering the damned game, and we can't actually apply them while playing
I played KoFXV recently and was surprised you can set up playlists for the stages. This seems like a very basic feature more games, more retro collections especially, should have
Why was Battle Network so racist? Like wtf was wrong with Capcom? It's not like the games were that old, they came out in the 2000s.
That's just how it is when you're a child traveling on your own to America or Europe
How did Lan manage to not get raped in Netopia
Never forget that Battle Network Africa is still as shithole full of mudhuts where they all worship a water purifier.
Holy fuck I forgot that. That’s so fucked up(and hilarious).
NO BATTLE CHIP CHALLENGE NO BUY
NO 4.5 NO BUY
NO NETWORK TRANSMISSION NO BUY
NO PHANTOM OF NETWORK NO BUY
NO LEGEND OF NETWORK NO BUY
NO EXE WS NO BUY
NO OSS NO BUY
NO DEX NO BUY
NO ROCKMAN EXE CATAN NO BUY
I really hate how these collections don't come with reprints of the manuals. GBA games had small ones too so you could easily fit all 6 into a switch case sized booklet
I miss manuals, fuckers were probably grinning ear to ear when they realised they had a good excuse to nix them
Niggy those manuals are THICK
M-maybe if it sells well they'll reboot legends 3...haha
I'll bring my cheat engine with speedhack
where are my battle chip challenge bros at?
I always wondered, how the fuck did they get "chaud" from Enzan?
The dark blues part of the anime was kino as fuck by the way
>I always wondered, how the fuck did they get "chaud" from Enzan?
The kanji for Enzan's name, 炎山, can be read as "flame mountain". Chaud is French for hot.
Society in Ameroupe hasn't fully collapsed in 200X, that was a 20XX thing.
I'm not particularly interested honestly. I know the online will be dead within a month, it seems pointless to buy it at launch unless you're gonna go hard to get sets you want to play. I don't have that kinda free time anymore. Maybe this christmas if it goes on sale.
Nah, emulation for me.
The only thing it's missing is the Beast Link Gate stuff, which is a shame, but I'm probably going to get this anyways.
For me it's 6 and 3
Same, those two were the best but 2 was great too.
5 had the best non style system (I make the distinction since styles really aimed for something completely different from souls/crosses).
Pre-ordered on day one I can't wait to be the best
Shooting star, 4.5, battle chip challenge, and all the shit that never hopped the pond better be added. I don't even care if it's dlc, just add it.
Can someone tell me why they did Zero dirty in this universe? Its not enough that he is an actual virus with no purpose, but also made his love interest want Lan's dick?
Possibly because ProtoMan was similar enough to Zero, and to hide the reveal of Iris being a navi for anyone who didn't recognize the name from the X series
Protoman.exe just felt like actual protoman from the normal game. The only zero vibe is the sword and that about it.
I’ll probably get the first one on sale since I missed them the first time around and they look pretty fun.
I also desperately want to encourage Capcom to do a rerelease for the Legends games.
They will never make a sequel, though.
big quesion is if they fixed the boss card bug that BN6 had. If you get a boss card and then trade it, the other player will get a weaker card of it.
>digital only
Why is modern capcom such a fucking blight compared to what they used to be?
>being a physicalcuck in the year of our lord 2000+23
Have fun with digital after Alpha melts the internet.
Are they going to nerf this fucker? He is easily the most annoying and artificially hardest boss in the entire series. Fighting him in general is unfun and bullshit. I would rather fight Bass a dozen time in a role than fight this gay again.
>60 DOLLARS for ports of 20 year old games
Capcom has lost it
>ports with the one feature people have been asking for for years
its not the best, I still agree that the price is wack but at least for once one of these things has something worthwhile.
Don't forget that they have denuvo too.
Long time BN fan that has played all of them. Here's my wishlist:
>working online balanced pvp
>sprite retouching without filters
>expanded text boxes and no abbreviating chip names or sentences
>cut content restored
>no abbreviating chip names or sentences
soulless
I'm not going back to wondering what ChzCutr stands for.
My wishlist:
>All of the audio sourced from the original samples to avoid the problems MM Zero Collection had
capcom collections are shit. there is no advantage over just emulating the originals
Good luck finding those Zero 3 E-Reader cards to decorate the base.
If you're emulating you can just... fucking enable them with action replay codes, you know.
Explain which versions are the best.
3: Blue thanks to Punk and Folder Back.
4: Both are pain. Pick your poison.
5: Colonel's makes more sense with 6 in mind.
6: Both are good, probably Gregar if you consider 2 and the manga.
>6: Both are good, probably Gregar if you consider 2 and the manga.
Nothing wrong with Bass absorbing two dogs.
I'm more of a fan of Grezar and Cross Fusion Beast Out myself.
Blue because of Shadow Style
the one with proto soul in it, i think it was Blue Moon, because it's broken
TC because knight soul and shadow soul are fun
Both versions are great
Blue
Don't know with 4, didn't care much.
Colonel for 5
In 6 both versions are great, I'm partial to Aqua cross+trident chips in Falzar, but Gregar's beast out and Erase cross are also really fun.
The colonel game for lore but the Protoman game for fun
Could a knowledgeable anon explain what all the features are in the modded BN6 roms?
It's the jap version as a base, so I think e-Reader cards all work. Each area also has a billboard that displays a map of the place, if you need it. The postgame area has additional maps, and it's where the crossover content takes place. The event exclusive chips, DoubleBeast and Falzar/Gregar, also work.
Can you get chips from other version and vice versa without connecting anything?
Usually no, but I recall there's also a WiiU patch that went along with the translation patch, which would allow you to grab the opposite version's chips just by entering the Communications menu. The rockmanexezone forum should have it all, or you can wait for that one anon to dump links if he shows up.
I want to buy it because it has online, which will become more popular than how people play the game online right now.
I would have loved to buy it but it's not coming to Xbox so Capcom can just fuck off. I preordered Mega Man 11 and bought the X collection on Xbox, this is one of their most recognized IP and it's not like they're a small company. No reason for them to skip a major platform.
have you seen the leaked sales numbers for microsoft platforms with previous collections? you might be one of the only people to have actually bought it there.
Is this bait? Who the fuck is an Xbox purist like this? They're GBA games dude, it'll run on your toaster.
Not if the zero/zx collection is anything to go by, denuvo means you require a fucking 1030 minimum, kek.
It's to send a message. Every other collection has come to Xbox but all of a sudden this one skips it? They're not getting my money if that's the case. There's plenty of other games releasing anyways
Not a fucking CHANCE I'm clickin that shit, bro. Set up on matrix and I'll be there though.
They should have gone as far as combine the split games into one. There really isn't much justification to play both MMBN4s, since the games require to play through them multiple times to unlock everything anyway.
It is a weird choice, I don't quite understand why. I guess laziness, but if they're going so far as putting fucking online battling in, I'd have hoped.
>$60 worth of devuno
No thanks.
Also, why the fuck is it two parts if you can only buy the 1+2 bundle anyway?
You can't preorder separately, but starting on the 14th, 1 day after launch you can buy 1 or 2 separately.
It's a stupid money grubbing move. Something's gonna be wrong with one or two of the games.
the format of splitting the games into volumes doesn't really makes sense compared to X games since those are so divisive, it's just weird how they are still pushing it when nobody will pay more for less content (assuming it's more than half the price of both when you buy them individually) in a series where people actually want the most out of every entry, people who just want 1 or 2 games will just emulate so I don't know who they are dividing the games for
Even if they did release all the games in a single package, it'd still probably be $60. The reason they did it this way is to create the illusion of a deal.
It's also the reason they are marketing this as "10 games" even though it's only 6. They want it to sound like you're getting more than you are actually buying. It made more sense with the classic series (NES or later) and the X series (good or bad) but when they hit Zero/ZX, they just put it all together because a two-game ZX collection wouldn't sell.
But they know that Battle Network players will pay out the nose, so they split it up and say you're getting "six games" in the second half to sound impressive.

I'm a simple man, if you add Denuvo to your game, that means you are not confident with your game selling well on it's own accord. Therefore, I will wait for the crack and pirate it. Funny innit?
>wait for the crack and pirate it.
Just emulate the originals, they're probably better than this anyway.
PC matches will be filled with hackers.

There's still a pvp community around for 6. They've even managed to add rollback.
Yeah, but that's because it's run by the community, i.e. actual human beings that aren't employed by a corporation that actively weed out hackers. When that gets replaced by this, all of that is out the window. Look at what happened with Smash and the whole Slippi debacle. Capcom will put their hands in the cookie jar, but won't wash their hands first.
Can I get some examples of BN4s bad translation?
just a simple "Battle Network 4 translation" google search should be enough

Because he's talking to his fucking son? It's perfectly normal to do that in that context. What a weirdo.
Dance time!
4.5 is unironically my favorite BN game
yes its repetitive as fuck, but a BN game where you can just jump right into making fun unique folder builds with a bunch of different navis and test them on increasingly harder fights is just so comfy, and the automated movement change works shockingly well
Fuck it I'm replaying Shanghai again.
post gameplay
are Megaman games still impossibly hard? Sometimes I consider buying then remember as a kid I 'played them' for years and never beat any bosses except for Megaman X and Zero 4, those were easier.
No. They're some of the eaiser NES games honestly. And these are more strategy-based RPGS. So if you aren't retarded with your folder building you can make up for bad reflexes.
Depends on the sub series
>classic
Kinda hard but it's mostly trial and error. If you're patient and know each boss' weakness, it should be relatively easy
>X
Same as the above except a little easier thanks to health and armor updgrades. X4 in particular is a cakewalk
>Zero
Hardest Megaman series but still not Touhou levels of insanity. The first 2 games tend to filter a lot of people
>ZX
Navigation can be a pain but the games themselves are about as difficult as the X series
>Legends
Even easier than X and ZX as long as you explore for goodies
>BN
Even easier than Legends (assuming you're decent at making folders)
>SF
Even easier than BN
TL;DR, in terms of difficulty, Zero>Classic>X=ZX>Legends>BN>SF but even Zero is not impossible
The hardest classic games are still harder than the hardest zero games.
That's really only MM&B if we're being honest, the rest are all easier than Zero by a long shot.
Nah, I agree with him. MM&B isn't even the hardest classic game. MM1 and MM9 are insane unless you cheat.
How's 1 insane? Even without abusing the pause trick nothing's that bad of a fight in the game, except that you have to REALLY learn Yellow Devil's pattern. Even the disappearing blocks aren't as hard as Magnet Man's stage without Rush Jet.
Eh 1 has its moments. Elec Man is pretty ballbusting if you don't know how to cheese him, and the moving platforms that shoot at you are bastards.
Yellow Devil is the hardest thing in Megaman. I learned his pattern exactly, but can't do the one jump required each time where you have to do a very specific short jump that lets you land on the ground fast enough to jump again immediately and clear the pattern without getting hit.
Zero is only hard due whole elf system limiting upgrades. If you dont take account rank penalty game is easy as X.
Honestly that shit was stupid.
I disagree, I think it's brilliant. If you're not skilled you can still beat the game at the cost of your own ego, but if you're good the game recognizes it. The absurd grind to actually use the upgrades is kind of dumb, though.
z3 handled it perfectly. You can increase HP or a bit more offense without issues, anything fancy obvious need grind or take a penalty.
>anything fancy obvious
Honestly the normal upgrades are already pretty fancy. I got easy S for Z3.
Z3 is pretty easy with the access to 2 elves of your choice that you can switch on the fly with all the ex skills being useful and the ability to combo your charge saber into triple slash into heaven splitter into saber smash will delete almost a full bar of hp off most bosses.
I found zx/zxa to be harder than zero series but not sure if that because i have more experience with the zero games.
You're pretty limited in ZX while Z3 makes you feel like a megaman god
I got filtered at Z2s intro mission in the desert way back in the day and just moved onto Z3, is it worth going back?
Did you get filtered by the golem's that shoot the tri-lasers?
Not really. Z2 is the least enjoyable of the Zero games. Eventually you have to deal with Quickman lasers too in a really annoying level.
>keep dying in the Chalmers boss fight because I don't have stmdclms.exe
Why is this game so poorly programmed?
I'm definitely buying it. I'll finally get to experience trading chips and doing pvp.
I'm curious how BN2's translation is changed. There's not a chance in hell that game's script remained untouched.

E10 didn't exist back then.
>The game contains some suggestive material in the dialogue (e.g., “Stop peeking! You Pervert”; "Her measurements are 33,22,33”; “You missed out on seeing [her] naked.”)
nice
Oh sick. Chicken man might still exist.
I believe the dialogue we've seen so far is unchanged, but I believe while they are striving for accuracy there will be changes. Not only is there the Silly Shit from BN2, there are some very wonky translation in some of the later games. There's ridiculous typos all over BN4.
Is it wrong for me to hope Denuvo being Denuvo causes serious performance issues on a fucking emulated GBA rom, which completely ruins the experience of these games and causes Capcom to finally realize Denuvo is shit and take it off?
I know I'm dreaming too much here but still
I hope there's save states.
Abusing the gambling places in 3 to get a fuckload of zenny solved so many of my issues.
I think there is a side quest in 3 that gives you a fuckton of money anyways.
Yeah there is like 300k but it's not enough.
>legends legacy leak
Don't play with my heart like this.
I've seen AI draw better hands than that
07th mitten hands are peak soul.

What's this now? I never played this on the GBA.
>he didn't play EXE6 Wii U English patched
baka
I assume its the Gun Del Sol chips and the crossover stuff in BN4.
Huh? Is there more to it?
Gun del sol Django chips, BN4 that obviously can't be gimped well as crossover scenarios which finally got officially translated.
Whole package.
might pay full price in the slim hopes they revive the series.
I want a megman legends legacy collection tho.
it worked for Trials of Mana, it can work again probably not but let me cope
i will actually pay full price for a legends collection

That fucking sucks dude. I had a black friend who kept stealing my games and selling them to pawn shops and I always had a suHispanicion but I didn't want to believe it for most of my youth.
How do you know he was black?
Are you me? Except it was 2 white friends who kept coming over borrowing, stealing then trading in
I'll buy it on Switch, but it's absolutely fucking retarded thehy pushed denuvo on the PC version.
Ok but are they including Battle Gate somehow?
No toys just e reader shit.
battle network is overrated garbage. once you realize it's nothing but a fucking card game, the entire thing is solved. the game becomes an absolute fucking joke. and it's not like the devs even tried to balance things.
honestly yeah, it's just a shitty deckbuilding game.
t. Starforce fag.
never even touched that shit because the main character asked his barber to give him a dick on his head
????
>[game] is overrated garbage. once you realize it's nothing but a fucking [genre], the entire thing is solved.
Can I cheat to give myself all the chips? Just looking to be ready for pvp.
Probably with some cheat engine thing, but not with traditional gameshark methods if the games being source ports is true.
Rev up that trading boyo.
How are they going to handle the power levels in the PVP? Is it just gonna be a wild west where you might go meet opponents that are anywhere between a fresh save file and 100% completion, or are they trying to balance things out a bit in some manner?
Skill
So basically wild west when you're starting out, but you get allocated in your skill group eventually?
Who cares, are you worried about being a shitter or something?
Just curiosity, since I imagine a fair few players might be dabbling in PVP for the first time with this collection.
isn't it just going to be a Battlechip Challenge port?
Even if they did include spinoffs in these collections, I think BCC would still be memoryholed.
I bought it thinking I'd be able to play as other navi but then realized I had no friends and couldn't play the game.
what happened to the battle network mobile game?
No Battle Chip Challenge no buy.
I don't give a fuck if BCC is shit. You want a BN collection you collect all the games. Don't sell me this 'whaoa 20 fuckin games' when really it's just 6 and their alternates and not even all the GBA games for the series.
BCC is a Wonderswan game.
that's a shitty port of a wonderswan game. ever wonder why the whole game has a border?
No because it was made for the GBA and then ported to the WS.
I preordered on Switch and will pick up the steam version when it goes on sale for half the price later this year.
Will buy if for max buster super cheat mode. I've played through 1 & 2 and gave up the series at the start of 3 back in the Wii U VC days. Damn near every enemy virus is fucking obnoxious to fight, and that's before getting into the REALLY asshole viruses.
Basically, what I'm saying is: Star Force 4 Life
God damn, Ganker has been in autism overdrive for the last few months trying to shit on everything coming out as hard and loudly as possible.
No I already own the X collection, I don't have any use for this garbage.
>Denuvo for a Gameboy game
>6 gameboy games
I'd rather spend money on those than one bland open world time raper.
Just imagine Denuvo for a rom of Super Mario Bros. on the NES
>source ports
>no widescreen or HQ sprites
Yeah sure also 60$ is a lot
>HQ sprites
How does that work. More pixels?
ports
wait what? if that's the case are the games going to be displayed in widescreen? if not whats the point, this might as well be a lie
>Going through the effort to port the games anyway
>Not porting the DS versions of 1 or 5
for what purpose?
So they can do a collection of DS games.
SF1/2/3 + BN5 Double Team & OSS.
OSS doesn't have enough to justify it and 5 just bundles both GBA games together which is kind of irrelevant for a collection that has both already. It'd be like doing Zerker X Ninja and Zerker X Saurian in a SF collection instead of just having Zerker, Ninja and Saurian.
have you ever played any of those games or did you just look them up on a wiki? This is like suggesting someone play Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire over Pokemon Emerald. The changes made to BN1 in OSS especially make BN1 even worse to go back to when it was already one of the hardest to go back to games in the series. Just the changes made to the Elecman scenario are enough to never play vanilla BN1 ever again.
>OSS doesn't have enough to justify it
It literally revamps the entire game.
I just want a Battle Network 7. I don't care if they reboot the series, do a new arc with Patch, or (You) are the main character. Just give me a new BN game.
> but Lan's story is done!!!
Fuck off. If you have an modicum of creativity you'd see the BN series is brimming with potential with all the new shit they can come up with with online gameplay.
fuck battle network 7. Battle Network X
would you take a new star force?
Star force can suck my dick tbhngl
Absolutely not. Geo is one of my favorite protagonists but the gameplay was discount BN.
Whatever you want to call it, as long as the BN gameplay is in tact or improved and not whatever bullshit they pulled with Star Force and it's still within the cyber world of Navis and integrated web in everyday life.
I wanna buy this day 1 but it comes out right before Zelda which means I won't have enough time to beat even 1 game before I drop it for Zelda. And then there's no way I'm gonna pick up where I left off.
no you fucking shill
pvp
thats crazy
I miss SDT threads.
I was more thinking just for making the running around between battles less tedious, since it's 6 games in a row I'm having to do it in.
I'm guessing the best you'll be getting is cranking up the game speed with cheat engine or something.
Took you fucking long enough.
modern games suck dicks so I welcome ports with this dosis of effort and upgrades.
They say anything about adding fast-forward option?
There's a MAX BUSTER toggle that makes your buster do 100x damage, which is sort of a speed toggle for just getting through the story I guess.
>Classic Capcom would remake this game in 3D with new features or just release EXE 7
>nu-Capcom gives you online and a shitty filter, not even bring the JP only EXE games to the package
this is fucking sad, I can run the game better with Retroarch.
Why bother when retards will give you 60$ anyway
>Classic Capcom would remake this game in 3D with new features
dude what
EXE 7 isn't happening, 6 ends with an uneventful "and they all grew up and had peaceful lives" ending where Land and Mayl give their offscreen child the stupidest name imaginable
Classic capcom would re-sell each individual game at full price
I've never played these games, what are they like?
Imagine a two-button fighting game where you move around a grid and all of your special attacks are cards.
Kino battle system
Cringe dungeons
I love the X series and don't care much for BN aside from one or two games from my childhood, but I hope this port does your franchise justice. X got a really fucking bad port while Zero got a good one (excluding PC frame drops).
For me, it's proto Luna.
>can play the Pokemon versions of the later MMBNs
>no way to run two of the games at once to trade with yourself
Steam or Switch?
Steam Version means I can play on my Steam Deck but I also have a Switch OLED.
Both can be played on my LG C1 65 inch OLED.
Whichever is cheaper.
I don't really like Lan or MegaMan all that much.
I mean they're kinda bland, aren't they? MegaMan becomes a bit funnier if you give him that joke program, but even then he's still mostly pretty uninteresting.
You're not supposed to like them, they're just generic good guy heroes for the player to self insert.
I never see anyone really praising their characters as anything special, the only reason they get so much attention in Ganker threads is because this board is filled with shotafags.
That and they have a slight bit more personality in the anime
Lan at least gets called out on his stupidity on the occasion, like trusting Mr Match in BN3.
Playing as Glyde would be so much better.
nice to see quality ports but i have never once found the appeal of this franchise
arpg with deck building and a trading card aspect
>>BN6 postgame fixed
content is intact
What do these bullet points mean exactly?
Several areas and a whole sidequest with a unique boss were cut from the U.S. release of Battle Network 6, since it was another Boktai crossover and the brand was essentially dead in the U.S. so Konami didn't give clearance to use it.
This version restores and localizes that content and restores the deleted areas from the game related to it and the Undernet.
Also, they are fixing the "glitch" where beating the game doesn't reset the music in the game to play the area themes, so it's permanently playing the Crisis jingle, which is like... a 10-15 second long song.
I'll probably get it in a sale.
Just like Etrian Odyssey.
Is there any reason to buy vol. 1 of this collection? Vol. 2 seems to have everything that matters.
>But muh story.
Don't really care too much about that.
Battle Network 3 multiplayer is incredible, right up there with 6. 3 has the most folder depth and strategies of any game In before all Blue Version folders spam FolderBack from how broken it is
Is buster max mode going to be broken or does it just make weak mobs faster to get through and pretty much nothing else?
it defeats the entire point of the game IMO
I like it as a means to speed through the game and get to the multiplayer part. That said, I see a ton of new players using it as a crutch that will bite them in the ass once they go online. I just like it for smashing through some of the tedium in the games, especially for 4 and 5.
I'll be stunned if one of these is finally actually not just a rom collection and actually the definitive version of these games.
see you in the omega ranking losers
https://discord.gg/EDjfPJNF
I'm thinking of buying this game for the switch. I only played one back in the day but my English was shit and I didn't know what I was doing half of the time... I remember I stopped because there was something I just couldn't understand. I can't wait to play every game in the series and understand what's going on. i used to love the anime.
>>BN6 postgame fixed
what was broken and what is being fixed?
It was missing an enormous amount of content in the English versions. Effectively the entire postgame didn't exist.
https://tcrf.net/Mega_Man_Battle_Network_6#Regional_Differences
3 screens doesn't sound like an enormous amount of content
They're pretty large maps, and it's where the entire Boktai content took place. That's also discounting the Battle Gate and eReader functionalities the game removed.
