>Check eShop
>GBA versions of Battle Network 5 are up
Looks like I finally get to experience Team Colonel.
>that 100 samurai minigame
dropped 6 was better and liberation missions suck
>>320548930
6 was great, but I played both versions of that back in the day. 3 and 5 I only played once so this has been a fun excuse to go back and try whatever side I didn't the first time around.
>>320548930
>liberation missions suck
they're fun as hell
>>320548930
3 was the best but liberation missions were great once you got to the endgame. The early ones were boring though.
Everyone's favorite battlechips/strategy? I'll start:
Favorite Chip
>Geddon 3
Strategy:
>Open with Geddon 3
>Repair *
>Anubis (if it happens to appear in my chip selection screen)
It was a fun tactic that pissed off my friends and it works on most of the AI in story mode.
>>320548930
That minigame pissed me off too until I realized it was possible to PAUSE THE GAME in the middle of it, making it so much easier.
>>320551701
In 3 woodcust with undrsht and the grass field was totally broken. I think serenade and flame man were the only two bosses who could kill you with that loadout (assuming you weren't stupid).
>>320548734
does it come with the event exclusive chips and Bass soul? this is important
>>320552612
Just tested, and I opening the Comm menu gave me Otenko, GunDelEX, and the navi megachips from Team Protoman. I don't remember anything about Bass Soul, though, how did that work?
>>320553000
>and I opening
That's not Engrish, I just forgot to proofread...
>>320552612
It's basically given to you on a silver platter, compared to how you previously had to get it.
>>320553000
It's the most powerful one. You originally had to get it through events, like rare pokemon. In the ds release though you could unlock it if you put a gba cartridge in your system that had defeated bass SP, who was incredibly hard to even unlock, let alone beat.
>>320548734
AW SHIT NIGGA MMBN THREADis Starforce welcome?
>>320553667
No. How dare you even ask.Feel free, I just can't think about that series without getting kinda sad since it was the end of my favorite series of all time.
>>320553667
Someone got that illustration of Geo and co. in high school?
>>320553793
the entirety of Meteor G was hype as fuck, specially Kelvin's memories, holy fucking shit man
and don't get me started on how good the Black Hole Server was
>>320554006
If there's one thing I liked about Star Force over Battle Network, it was the story. Especially since Geo actually WAS Megamanand not just his Pokemon trainer on skates.
>>320554006
Yeah but it wasn't MMBN, and it could have been, and that makes me sad.
>>320554263
yeah, Starforce definitively had the better story between the two
>>320554364
But could you get whisky, freestyle with a rapper, then go join a gang?
>>320554416
>fucking NoA
>>320554416
This is an edit, right? I don't remember this from the games. Please tell me they didn't redo the writing to add in memes in the eshop releases.
>>320554445
no but there's this
Anyone here played transmission? It's the only one I don't own and haven't played and I'm really thinking about getting it off amazon, but it's $50. Is it worth it? I really want to fight Zero...
>>320555736
It's an awkward mash-up of Megaman platforming and Battle Network's chip system, and 50 bucks sounds like overpaying a hell of a lot. I'm pretty sure I got a used copy for under 10 bucks not too many years back.
>>320555736
It's apparently really hard. I couldn't get it to emulate well when I tried a couple years ago, too. It probably works better now, though.
>>320555736
NT..is okay it's sorta what happen when you cross BN chips with classic's platforming.
Also considered really goddamn hard(Well mainly in the beginning)
>50 bucks
Hell no look somewhere else I got my copy for almost nothing.
>>320555890
Yeah I heard not so good things about it back when it came out and I didn't think I'd ever be starved for megaman games, but now that I haven't had a new one in ages it's SO TEMPTING to play one I haven't played before.
>>320555935
I'm sorta trying to collect them physically, although I play them so much that my two favorites got busted. I'm just wondering if getting it now for $50 is good or if I should try to search around some more and risk it only getting more expensive in the hope of finding a cheaper version.
>>320556137
It's $50 new. I could get a used version way cheaper but this one is still sealed.
Why would you pay for something easily emulatable?
>>320556346
Ah..Alright. Then good luck.
>>320554572
It's not an edit, but they didn't change the dialogue either.
The fact it matches a meme that wouldn't exist for a decade is a fluke.
>>320556527
I'm trying to get a full physical collection of the MMBN series. It's more that I'm debating between buying this one or replacing my busted copy of 3.
>>320555935
Network Transmission isn't so much hard as it has an incredibly ass backwards difficulty curve, the first two bosses in the game are the hardest due to how little you have to work with at that point in the game.
After Guts Man you can tear everything to shreds pretty easy.
>>320556614
reminds me of the Harlem shake meme in AA3 that didn't happen until years later.
>>320552612
>virtual console release
>ever including event or other bonus content
>>320557016
It actually does though. If anything they're too generous with it though, you just sorta get it pretty early with no fanfare whatsoever.
>>320557016
The other Battle Network games actually have the bonus content. They even fixed the fucking glitches in Battle Network 4
>>320557176
Does it make 4 worth playing at all?
>>320557176
>>320557132
Capcom is really going above and beyond with these releases. Putting every single other Virtual Console release of anything to shame.
>>320557296
kinda, plotwise is shit but is really fun to wreck everything with vulcans and Air hockeys. Worthy of at least one run.
>>320557345
And yet we haven't gotten a megaman game in 5 years. They haven't even shit anything new out for mobile since 2013.
>>320557712
More specifically, is it worth playing if I'm already playing 5?
>>320557986
Yeah they're pretty different. Probably not worth playing over 3 but 5 is pretty different from any of the other games in the series.
Also you should play them all anyways.
>>320557986
play 5 then, is not like you'll miss too much storywise. If you like the soul system in 5, you should give 4 a try then.
>>320558297
Yeah, I love the post-3 transformation systems, but will 4 just feel like a gimped version of 5? I know Chaos Unison wasn't a thing until 5.
>>320558270
>Also you should play them all anyways
The ones I haven't played are 1 (which I've read is archaic and annoying as hell), 2 (which I've heard pretty good things about but it just sounds like a lesser 3), and 4 (which I hear relatively bad things about).
>>320558635
1 is archaic and annoying, yeah, but still interesting enough that you should try it. 2 is pretty good with some really cool enemy designs, but it's more like a good version of 1 than a lesser 3. 4 is just generic as hell and overall underwhelming. It also has relatively little endgame content compared to other games.
>>320558635
4 doesn't have Chaos Unison so it's a bit gimped.
But there are some good souls there for example Thunder soul (red sun) can paralyze shit using normal or elec chips and Wood soul (blue moon) can make you almost invincible since the HP healing in grass is really fast.
>>320559129
the wood thing is fucking broken, although actually iirc unlike in 3 they fixed it so it doesn't make you literally invincible.
>>320559292
Yeah, if you could actually get the style you wanted. As much as people seem to love that system I always hated how slow it was to use and how little control you had over it. To get anything decent out of it you had to grind like a madman with a guide in hand.
>>320559292
Also Wood soul isn't affected by paralize or confuse so multi hits like vulcans can't do shit.
