      I played Mega Man Star Force (this is from that series, not Battle Network) a year ago at a low point when I had begun studying and it has become the most impactful game in my life because of how strongly it resonated with me

          Got squeezed on both ends by consumers and critics growing tired of Mega Man (Battle Network) in the late 2000’s and fans just wanting more Battle Network. A mediocre second game killed whatever momentum it had. It lives in the shadow of its bigger brother, I die a little inside whenever it gets mistaken for BN…

          Maybe a Legacy Collection makes people give it a fair shot as its own thing. When Super Mario 3D World got re-released it was received more positively, before it was “3D Mario at home” when rumors about Odyssey were running. Wind Waker is another famous example.

      Battle Network on the gba was the shit man, loved those games as a kid. The ds games never were that good in my opinion, just didn’t have the same charm I guess.

        The battle network was a super tight mix of card and fight games that was Lazer targeted to the brains of such a very specific small group of people. There are a few projects now to use that system and make new things with it and they have all been fun and interesting at least.
