The 2022 Tokyo Game Show has kicked off, and earlier today, Capcom took to the stage to run through its slate of upcoming releases and updates. And one of the company’s big featured titles was the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection<\/a>, and this won’t just be a simple collection of ten games, oh no. Director Masakazu Eguchi took to the stage to announce that Capcom will be implementing online battles for every single game in the collection.<\/p>\n

This is no doubt fantastic news for fans of the original games, which included the ability to link up with a Game Link Cable and battle and trade chips. Now you’ll be able to do it online with all ten games. We really will be part of the Battle Network! Chip Trading is also returning, which will also be supported online.<\/p>\n

Here’s what the game’s director, also known as Mr. Famous, had to say during the presentation \u2014 as transcripted by Capcom<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cBattle routine, set! Execute! Long time no see, everyone! It\u2019s Mr. Famous!<\/p>\n

Mega Man Battle Network<\/em> has returned to the TGS stage in the form of the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection<\/em>! I\u2019m so happy to be able to give you more news on Battle Network, almost 17 years since Mega Man Battle Network 6<\/em>!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a while since the announcement of the Legacy Collection<\/em>, but our team has been very motivated seeing all the excitement on social media! Now, I\u2019m sure there\u2019s something you\u2019re all wondering about\u2026 right? That\u2019s right, the online functions!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry. No matter what, we\u2019re always connected! We\u2019re currently working on online functions such as online battles and chip trading for each game! We\u2019ll all still be connected in this game!<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to tell you about this beautifully remade lab coat, but that\u2019s all I can say for now! We\u2019ll share more details in a future presentation. That\u2019s all from Mr. Famous!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While this is no doubt exciting, we’ll also be getting our own personal PET on the game select menu. MegaMan.EXE, in 3D, will be there to react and guide you through the menu. So you can be even more immersed in the Mega Man Battle Network universe \u2014 especially if you’re playing with your Switch undocked.<\/p>\n

We also got a few more screenshots from the upcoming collection, including a little look at the Mega Man Battle Network’s hero in glorious 3D:<\/p>\n
