I always enjoyed the shenanigans that Lan and his shitty dead brother would get up to in these games between the Internet stuff

The best stuff isn't even dialogue.

It's a shame they shit games out so fast. If the overworlds were bigger, there was more dialogue, and just more events in general, these games would be far better. There's an empty feeling whenever you hit post-game or an area is "done" until the final part of the plot when the world dialogue changes for the last time.

>It's a shame they shit games out so fast.
The story of Megaman in a nutshell

Except Zero, ZX, Legends and Star Force.
It was more of an 80s/90s Mega Man problem.

That was always my gripe with these games when I was younger. The towns and overall over worlds just feel so.. small and lifeless. I like how the NPC dialogue changes as the story progresses, but overall the areas felt too contained. If BN were remade with a proper 3D over world to explore, random net battle events to take part in, and hidden areas to jack into, it would be great.

I always hated how prior areas felt empty after you pass that area in the story. Like for example, Castillo in BN4. You revisit it on a couple of occasions, but overall after you're done with that section of the story, it's an afterthought. It's a shame since I loved that place, a lot.

Well I should rephrase
Shit out so many games as a franchise, not all in one sub-series

I tried my hand at designing Yea Forums.EXE. What do you think?

The size of the maps is perfectly fine, it's more that there's not enough sub-areas for each map (it's way too common to go to a city area where only one map even has a sub-area like a store you can enter) and there's nowhere near enough flavor text, and even then the text so sparsely updates and characters so rarely move around. It's too utilitarian for its own good.

That's actually not bad.

I would give it more of a robotic face but still pissed off. Pretty good anyway.

Castillo actually got reused for multiple tourney arcs. The problem is they were all shit. FUCK the cooking one.

It's crazy that we have the technology to do it now, and no one wants to. What the fuck. Imagine how cool it would be as a kid to visit say mcdonalds(or whatever fast food joint your prefer), and you open up your avatar on your phone, and jack them into the place's wifi. Which instantly downloads the store's level, and you can play the specialized McDonald's zone while you eat.

Maybe your happy meal toy unlocks a new chip. So you can test it out while you're there.

Makes me want a Battlenetwork game with character customization, it would be neat to create your own Navi, then fight against others on multiplayer.

Either that, or a Yea Forums themed battle network clone.

haven't started this series yet, but this is nice to know. always have more fun with smaller locales.

How do you mess up drawing feelsguy that badly tho?

Did Kids WB abruptly end the show in the middle of the Protoman going AWOL arc?

I'm asking because it's been 14 years since I saw the show and my memory is getting hazy

I see what you're saying, but honestly it's a mix of both. If there were two or three more sectors to an area, alongside there being more places to access in said areas instead of the buildings simply sitting around to fill up the map, it would have been better overall.

Who is the sexiest navi?

cross him with rage.exe

Now that Shanghai.exe is cancelled, what other MMBN related stuff do we have to look forward to?

Yeah because they needed another slot for whatever shitty YTV show got better ratings

Have fun with BN1's internet, it's intentionally huge and confusing.

Alright I'm still goddamn pissed about that.

People would be bitching that the Neutral element was OP because nothing inflicts double damage against it.

That's more a quantity thing than a size thing. I think most maps are the correct size (some are pretty cramped though), it's just that there's not enough places to go and most spots are so extremely contextual that the game struggles for reasons to reuse maps.

Aside from the pollen-carrying wasps, they're a dead end species.

At least you got like 10 episodes in, unlike the FZero anime which got canned way before then

There's like two other MMBN inspired games on Steam Early Access right now

Parasitic wasps are good for pest control.

Shanghai was virtually done, anywho. The creator said he'd put the content that was cut out of the endgame into another project. It's crazy how we could have been discussing the full game though if he hadn't tried to make money off of the game. Fate is cruel.

Japs use the same word for bees and wasps so they might be wasps/hornets.

For whats it worth, Starforce ditched the "separated cyberworld" and just incorporated both world into 1. It made the hubs quite huge, esp SF3, and it was quite interesting too
A shame that the setting didnt really allow the random jack-in spot. those thing was fun smashing R while running around

The vast majority of that is reused tiles and stuff you can't even walk on, I'm not sure it should even count. I was always partial to 3's DenCity, but felt like there should be at least two more screens.

One Step from Eden and EndCycle

looks cool

It was a bad idea in several ways. It meant that they couldn't be creative with the separate world, the alien spin meant other characters couldn't easily have an equivalent form, etc.

I don't know if the game is always this fast, or if it's simply the .gif being sped up, but damn. Looks fun though.

Look cool, but the cool part of MMBN is also the reimagined robot masters and the weird, comfy, over the top story, not just the combat
seriously, Shanghai is the only one that can kinda fill the niche

>He didn't enjoy the Mr. Hertz
Shame on you user. I agree with you though. It's a shame that Navi's didn't stick in the SF series. Wizards were truthfully, soulless.

figured i'd start with two and then three (blue i guess, although ground style seems more interesting).

Mr. Prog is the GOAT.

True, the dungeon are kinda uninspired
at least the hubs are quite nice and lively
imgur.com/a/VKDOUYi

I'd suggest starting with 2, as it introduces the concept of styles and such and gets you acclimated as to how they play. Blue has better chips than White, tho, for 3.

You really should play 1. It's a good game, and not terribly long.

What would it even be like, anyway?
It's definitely got the part down, if we're going with the board-tans as navis route. But, what about the operators? What'll the plot be about? Heck, will Yotsuba show up?

If you want to play 1, try the BNxSF crossover, operation shooting star iirc
its basically 1 remastered, with QoL and more side content
It would be better if you are familiar with starforce tho, so you can just skip it, play BN 2-6, SF1, then back to operation shooting star, then SF2-3 if you want

This. Don't skip any parts.

Is pic related his operator?

As someone who's never played a Battle Network game where should I start? Just go chronologically from 1 or is there a better jumping in point?

Pfft who'd want some shit like that

Yotsuba will be Serenade clone, up til the part she jobs to a Bass clone. i dunno, edgy-Yea Forums?

Read a summary of one and start with 2
1 is the epitome of first game syndrome and it shows

>Bees
Pollinate Flowers by sucking their Nectar and sticking pollen to their bodies. Is responsible for a mayority of plant pollinationg
>Wasp
Eat Dead carcasses and fruit depening on their species. A zillion of species all for different reasons. Many species involve incest and inpregnating larvaes
>Hornets
Super pissed off superbug that kills anything that messes with their hive. Are responsible for killing bees too. Eat anything it wants because it is fucking pissed!

Hornets should be killed off. Wasp should be allowed to live if they are important for the ecosystem. Bees have always been cool

>The dungeons are kind of uninspired
The dungeons were absolutely fine in Starforce. I'd say the puzzles were equally as good, or better than the ones in some of the BN titles for the most part.

Punished Yea Forums, operated by Vivian.

The tans should be the operators and the navi's would be some amalgamation of that boards theme and culture.

Should I finish playing the Battle Networks (on 5 now) or would I be able to play Starforce?

5 is a slog, but you really should play 6 (with the content recovery patch)
It really ended the series on a high note

I really expected it to be an anti joke with Mega replying something like "Enter"

How did it feel unfinished? I thought SF3 tied up everything nicely, and the overall game felt complete. I just wish there were more.
Starforce and BN are completely unrelated in terms of story, outside of a few references. You could play it right now and not miss out on anything honestly.

BN4 honestly feels like a different company took over and started making the games. They took 3 steps forward and 2 steps back it feels like, honestly.

Well, 4 was a cashed in since they planned to end with 3, even tied up the story nicely. At least 6 ended everything on a high note
why didnt they do the same to starforce. I really want more

no harpnote card, theres only like 1 mention of pat (at least gemini noise and card are still there). a TON of missing features (granted, only in the us version). but other than that the game feels pretty complete and very well polished to me (except the balance in pvp but i heard the japanese don't care too much about that, and it's way more fun that 2's pvp even with its flaws)

Is there online PVP for Starforce and is it still active?

not active enough that you will randomly find a person, but there are communities that still play every couple days or so, sometimes more often. just gotta find them *wink wink*

oops

OOoooooh, okay, because I've bought Starforce Leo for the DS (I buy all the DS games I can since I enjoy the hardware and can get good games for cheap usually) and was wondering if it'd serve that purpose as well.

I fucking would, thank you very much

Human beings are all about efficiency, and the concept of a CyberWorld that is navigated like the real world is too inefficient of a system to use for anything other than a game.

Capcom said it wasn't 4, but the fact the series was made for the GBA while the DS was coming out. Hence, they made Star Force. The series by no means was killed off, but naturally concluded in the way the devs intended.

I just googled Glass man user. I couldn't draw that well to save my life

Only one of you guys have been at it for 4 years

Hey, at least that leaves room for a revision for BN visuals. Robot Masters often come first. I would suggest getting rid of the bulky shoulders and shin guards for glass boots and gloves, give him a nice belt, Navi Crest centered on his torso with something to do with glass, while the rest is given a more humanoid armor detail.

Now that the series is completely dead, what did we think of it?

>Dead
He doesn't know

Not necessarily regarding interactivity,VR, and how it can be fixed with how links work. There's more potential underneath the perceived drawbacks I would say. Navis would probably search out links and other areas of the Internet passively based upon command versus or remembering passwords for you.

Hey, at least Battle Chip Challenge is only from 5-15 dollars depending on condition.

Thats...thats not what i mean

Zero was released almost the same time every year for four years. Alongside Battle Network, which was also releasing yearly.
ZX picked up exactly where Zero left off, releasing the very next year after Zero 4, and Advent releasing a year after that.
Likewise, Star Force started immediately after Battle Network ended, one year later, and continued to release yearly until it ended.
All told, for most of the 00s, there were two Mega Man games releasing every single year, plus spinoffs like Network Transmission and Battle Chip Challenge.

Legends is the only series that didn't fall prey to this.

How do you guys feel about Lan's three main friends? I wish they were more developed as characters and got to do more than be in danger or show up for the obligatory friend moment at the end. GutsMan trains his ass off in the original trilogy and then becomes shittier than ever in 4. Roll starts getting combat ready in 4 and then never does anything else. Glyde never does ANYTHING.

Hell, they went out of their way to basically write the friends out of the plot in 4 - 6. Oh, they're not in this tournament scenario. Oh, Regal kidnapped them for no reason. Oh, you leave ACDC for most of the game.

There's no reason GutsMan and Roll couldn't have been late game Link Navis.

You know, this is the really questionable thing about BCC. Characters that were implied killed like Inukai and Arashi turn up perfectly fine and are somehow not serving decades in prison. Instead they're completely participating in a tournament.

Is the Star Force series a "Play in release order" one, or should one skip any game?

I wish we had gotten to fight Glyde, flashy moves with little strategy could've made for an interesting moveset.

In general, the friends don't feel like they get much work for how much they actually appear in those plots. It's a Megaman game, but still, some nicer character writing would've been nice.

Imagine a megaman battle network game with the NPCs and world building quality of a Trails game

You gotta wonder why the sprites only added a shield and none of those other details.

What I don't get is that for the MMO and XOver they used X as a template despite BN perfectly fitting the bill. Was it just memory holed by Capcom then?

I don't mind Glyde not really doing much, I think it's better for the world building to show that Navis take on a variety of roles, some more passive than others. Roll and GutsMan not getting much attention sucks though, especially GutsMan for the reasons you mentioned.

BCC should be considered non-canon, I think. No one survives Wily.

You can only choose one option and banish the rest. Choose wisely..
>The Battle Network series returns, but it's a reboot with the same main cast going on different adventures
>The Battle Network series continues with Lan's child, Patch as the MC, as you experience Electopia years later in the future
>Battle Network returns, but instead of the former two, you create your own custom character and Navi to explore the BN universe with

Ignore 1, even the remake. Start with 2.

The only ones that make legitimate sense are two and three. Option one would only ruin the series while option four has limited application beyond the initial events of OSS. The Patrician's choice is three.

I'm gonna start BN3 soon. I'm sad it's gonna be downhill for the two games afterwards.

Getting chips in OSS blows. What kind of folder did you use? I still need to do the postgame.

>he doesn't know

I guess the third one, but self-insert create a character games heavily depends on the execution. The original story and characters are better left as they were, so even if the third option turns out to be shit at least it doesn't trample on as many things I like.

Die redditor. Then die again.

Literally just back it up. Dex restores GutsMan from being deleted in NumberMan's scenario and he was in 5th grade.

Is there a reason adults listened to 10 year olds? I mean could he just overpower him?

Only Netopians beat up children.

I haven't started yet. That's just a screenshot from the translated version.

Why are you positing this in response to a gif of an adult being knocked out cold in real life

Maybe he could overpower one ten year old, but he was totally outnumbered.
What I really want to know is how he didn't see Lan entering the room. He's basically facing the doorway.

Are you telling me you can't beat up 2 ten year olds? You don't even have to be in shape.

1 isn't terrible, but it suffers from that awkwardness a new game has when it's doing something completely different. OSS does a lot to bring it up to par with later titles but some of it is still there.
I'd say give it a test run, until at least the first boss.

It's not THAT bad. Mind you, I haven't played the OSS version, but some of the changes I've read about seem like they'd make the more frustrating parts of BN1 easier to tolerate. I would absolutely recommend at least trying the first game out, and just know that the series improves a fair bit as it goes.

How outsiders view it but with subtle references to how it really is that only we will understand

Ten year olds are fucking vicious, dude. I mean, we already see what Lan does for an opening move, and Chaud's an experienced Net Agent, he probably has a few tricks up his sleeve for dealing with personal attacks.

Did they add a humor program to OSS or something

Wouldn't option two have a higher chance to ruin the series original lore than the first one, as it's simply a reboot that has no effect on the universe of the original 6 BN games?

I only bothered playing the first two BNs. How much did I miss out on? Capcom sure milked that series for sequels which usually isn't a good sign.

... Can I ask you something?

battle network 3 is literally the best in the series. They did milk it but 5 and 6 were great games as well

Is that the one with the Trojan Horse or Cache?

You may be fucked.
IIRC it has to do with the graphics card.

Trojan Horse, the one with the Atlampians. To think both references in BN and SF were obscure references expanded upon in future games...

Hubstyle Bass is Bassed as fuck.

I wish they would explore on the actual world more, but the only countries with Well Developed Concepts are Electopia,Netopia and Yumland. I would love to learn about The place where Kingman comes from (Forgot the name).

I thought it was fucking hilarious how the Under-Net's BBS board was literally just 2chan.

Attached: 1490384472664.jpg (238x208, 12K)

never seen such a finer example of SOULLESS

Playing through 1 right now. Digging it but there’s problems. Might skip to 3 since that’s considered the best.

How does shanghai compare to the actual BN games? Bit of a touhoufag so I’m curious about it, but I’d feel weird going to it before playing more of the actual MMBN games.

4 is not as great compared to 2 and 3, I'd say it's on par with 1, playing through 5 now and it seems okay, dunno about 6.

Swapopolis.

Shanghai is up there with BN2, 3 and 6. It certainly feels like a massive love letter to BN.

I heard somebody say in one of these threads before that MegaMan isn't Hub/there never was a Hub in the anime and manga. Can anybody who's watched/read them confirm? Why cut something like that? I think there's a hub style in the manga, so how does that work?

3 > 6 > 2 >>> 5 > 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 4

It's gotta be AquaMan for me.
I remember this episode having an English dub on TV once, but it seems to have vanished off the face of the earth.

Attached: hqdefault.jpg (480x360, 19K)

4 isn't great, but 5 is quite good and 6 is excellent, in the running for best in the series.

MegaMan in the anime and manga continuity is just a really strong Navi. Hub Style is in the manga, but it's just a super mode obtained from PharaohMan. Even Bass can use it.

For a minute, I thought you said Knightmare. Him and his operator come from Creamland.

what is the absolute best mega man network game? i only want to play the best one.

Why is it called Hub style then? Or Saito style, I guess. Lan and MegaMan being brothers was always the heart of the series to me, seems weird to remove it.

What makes 4 so shitty? Might just skip it.

It ran on KidsWB for a good while before getting canned during Axess for arbitrary reasons. The circulation of the English dub is rather limited.

Because they didn't bother thinking about it, they just included it.

Is using the buster and chips in Shanghai suppose to feel slow?

Entire game is a tournament arc. While the other games ramp up over the course of the game, introducing strong viruses and chips as you progress, BN4 works on a new game + system where you have to play through the game three times to see everything, with viruses and chips improving on each cycle. Who you face in the tournament, and as such, which soul forms you get and what episodic scenarios you deal with changes on new cycles, but the overarching story is the same every time, making it a very weirdly paced, repetitive game. The translation is also pretty suspect.

>Shanghai is the only one that can kinda fill the niche
Unironically this. Nobody cares about the 2hu shit in Shanghai. they mostly love it because it nails nearly everything about what made BN games great.

Even the music is is comfy and kino as fuck and fits perfectly with any other BN game.

I recently did a playthrough, and the story felt like a very nice amalgamation of the first three battle network games, with very familiar but still unique scenarios, and the battle system feeling like an amalgamation of 3 and 6. The game is just fucking great.
>mfw Shanghai used Shining Browser Crasher

You can almost consider BN 1-3 and BN 4-6 to be two separate but mirrored trilogies. 4 is basically the BN1 of that second trilogy, rough around the edges with strange design decisions. 5 and 6 are worth your time just as much as 2 and 3.

Oh, no wonder the guide I was using didn't make any fucking sense and I only got 3 souls...

was the ending even coded?

5 depends on your opinion on liberation missions
6 is absolutely worth playing

>This is why I wish for a mobile game, especially Gacha with chips

If you went from 3 to 6, the only thing you'd miss are the introductions of three characters, and two are version exclusive.

That's by design. It's supposed to feel similar to Battle Network, to the point that a couple of scenarios have the same puzzles. The first incident is straight up copy-pasted from BN1 except with a fridge instead of an oven.
Things start getting more original as you go through the game, but the incidents will all feel familiar.

Dude, calm down. Most of the "touhoufags" here are just people who are starving for another Battle Network game, and this Touhou fan game is the best thing to satisfy our hunger. Plus Chrono X is taking a while to update, and we're more likely to get a hack for an ending of Shanghai.exe rather than a new update anytime soon.

I mean yeah. though I never played BN1 but I played 2 and 3.
Incidents - funnily enough fitting for a 2hu based fangame - in BN games are just a thing happens with technology and many people are put in danger and you have to fix it.
IE Yai's bath in BN2 in BN2, the Bubblewash in BN3.

Though desu the incidents in BN2 are more like hardcore acts of terrorism that don't seem like they ever return in later games. Likely because of what happened the year that game came out.

It's incredibly poorly made. Engrish out the ass, glitches that can brick your cartridge, most of the game is just disconnected filler between a retarded ancient evil plot, shit soundtrack except for the boss themes, encounters are fucking cancer, permanent missables in a fucking BN game, have to play replay the game if you want more than shitty level 1 chips

The entire game is done up to the final boss - which is not properly implemented - and the entire postgame which was not even completed.

This game makes me sad because the final area theme is pretty hype and Duo's redesign is great

I believe giver is the main dev. He helped continue the MMBN3 let's play on SA. He's an expert on the mechanics of BN.

The leaked build goes upto the penultimate boss, although the english translation is buggy. I don't know how much /jp/s builds have changed things though. It's still worth playing though.

Is this fucking Kingdom Hearts?

So basically just no post game? That sounds fairly alright, it's still totally enjoyable otherwise then?

We should be amazed that capcom is as successful as it is with some of the boneheaded move they have made.

He did OSS recently. Now he's doing Star Force.

Maybe Star Force 3 will be archived this time. SSNeoman did a LP of it but never finished the Omega Bosses and the LP wasn't saved.

The JP translation is a polished machine translation.

It's "functionally" complete. The entire main campaign is playable right up until the boss before the final boss. Comparing to BN2, it would be like being forced to stop playing just before fighting Bass. The final boss is fully programmed but not implemented, and the post-game is non-existant.
For a while, only half the game was available in english, but a random user in /jp/ decompiled the game and translated the script through a machine translator and then went and polished it manually. That spurred a loose coalition of /jp/ anons to work on finishing the game using developer streams as a base. The only thing they're waiting for right now is an user to finish making a map/event editor.

You can't fight the penultimate boss Druidman

It's idiotic because Battle Network's themes are far more relevant today than they were in 2001. The internet is this huge thing that affects our daily lives, and you can do a lot of meaningful commentary about it. A MMBN game released today would probably do a lot better than almost 20 years ago, and it's one of the reasons Star Force missed the point.

I still remember the chills I got watching the trailer all those years ago on Gamespot.

>Its literally 8-chan in every way possible.

I could not believe my eyes when the reveal came. This game predicted 8-chan.

because every game is technically a "Soft reboot" that continues the timeline but only keeps specific important events in its memory if that makes any sense. so all the little details and extra characters are shelved to keep the story fresh and not bloated to hell. like megaman not recognizing bass in postgame content in every game past 3 for some reason. its always the "first time" in every postgame after his initial appearance(at least from what i remember).

>getting home, lying on a couch and just blazing through MMBN6 just after it came out

Those were the days.

Absolutely. It does a lot of it's own things while staying true to the Battle Network formula. Style changes are expanded upon, and there's some cool shit to be done with the add-on system.

they could easily do a boss where an evil streamer is hypnotizing his viewers like flashman does in 3

If I'm playing on emulator, is there any way to get Blue Moon bosses to show up in my Red Sun file?

They remember Bass. He just doesn't remember them.

jesus christ user spoiler that shit this is a blue board

yeah sorry its been more than a decade since ive played the games.

why doesnt serenade show up again? dude was pretty cool.

Thanks for the answers anons, I'll give it a try then.

Well, I'm not surprised. MMBN was more designed to be a kids series and once that well dried up they moved on. i can understand them being uninterested in making a new one for a predominantly Doomers audience.

Calm down Mayl.
Yandere already partially showing. See above post.

One last thing: the game speeds up quickly. In Battle Network, the games have slow easy viruses for the first few scenarios. Shanghai almost immediately jumps into what could be considered BN's midgame. And you have access to some even harder optional content soon out of the gate.
Have fun! Try not to get shanked by Carrie.

I think I played Battle Network 2? when I was a kid and I really liked it. What's the best Battle Network game?

should I restart shanghai or keep going with my old save from the last officially released build, don't really remember much of the story

Why are there no games anymore with the writing and tone of 2000s young adult games? The GBA was fucking magical.

...

restart.

I tried getting into BN, but i was really annoyed with slow battle system and amount of random encounters and dropped it after a hour of playing. Does it get better?

Download OSS with an english translation for QoL fixes.

2, 3, or 6 depending on who you ask.

the battles get much better in the later series with the combination of new ways to fight enemies and new chips. You also get access to items like repel sprays that stops random battles or programs that reduce random battles from occurring

New writers, I think.

Are there similar games to bn? The game design is awesome, havent seen a game with similar gameplay.

I'm assuming this is a no?

Everything similar has been mentioned here. Not much, basically. Only incomplete fangames and indies and such.

Best we can hope for is a compilation that also includes the more obscure titles such as 4.5 and the Mobile games.

>6's restored postgame
Explain pls? It's the only one I have yet to play.
