Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection release date set for April, new trailer
Original (12/13): Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection now has a release date on Switch. It’ll arrive for the console on April 14, 2023, Capcom announced today.
Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection was first unveiled during a Nintendo Direct this past June. We knew it was slated for 2023, but a specific date wasn’t provided until now.
Here’s some information about the package:
The Battle Network is back! Get ready to jack in to the net to face off against deadly enemy programs in electrifying grid based battles, and search the net for rare and powerful BattleChips to build the ultimate deck of special moves!
The renowned Mega Man Battle Network series, which has expanded into anime and comics, comes to modern consoles in the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection. This bundle includes ten action-packed games, a vibrant art gallery with over 1,000 illustrations and art, 188 music tracks, and more!
In 200X, the rapid advancement of Internet technology has created the “network age.” People have come to enjoy the benefits of network technology through portable exploration devices called “PET” and personality simulation programs called NetNavi. As the network world expands and life becomes more convenient, however, network crime is raging. Main character Lan Hikari and his NetNavi, MegaMan.EXE, join forces to confront these incidents.
