MEGA MAN BATTLE NETWORK LEGACY COLLECTION Will Have Online Battles and Chip Trades

I am pumped for the release of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection in 2023! During the Tokyo Game Show 2022, Masakazu Eguchi (aka Mr. Famous), the game’s director, announced that the game will have online features for all 10 games included in the collection. In short, the team is currently working on the online functions which will include battles and chip trading. Hopefully, this will be cross-platform. Here’s what Eguchi said in full:

Battle routine, set! Execute! Long time no see, everyone! It’s Mr. Famous!

Mega Man Battle Network has returned to the TGS stage in the form of the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection! I’m so happy to be able to give you more news on Battle Network, almost 17 years since Mega Man Battle Network 6!

It’s been a while since the announcement of the Legacy Collection, but our team has been very motivated seeing all the excitement on social media! Now, I’m sure there’s something you’re all wondering about… right? That’s right, the online functions!

Don’t worry. No matter what, we’re always connected! We’re currently working on online functions such as online battles and chip trading for each game! We’ll all still be connected in this game!

I’d love to tell you about this beautifully remade lab coat, but that’s all I can say for now! We’ll share more details in a future presentation. That’s all from Mr. Famous!

In addition, fans were shown that a 3D MegaMan.EXE will be on the game selection screen and gallery to be like your friend, complete with voiced reactions. Capcom likened it to having your own Personal Terminal (PET) like Lan Hikari in the games. You can enjoy Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection on Nintendo Switch, PC, and PS4 in 2023.
