Well, here's an announcement that we didn't expect: Capcom is releasing a remastered collection of every mainline Mega Man Battle Network title for PS4 in 2023. The suitably named Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection will include all six instalments, from the first Battle Network to Battle Network 6. Technically, this collection will feature ten titles, because from Battle Network 3 onwards, the games were split into two versions per release.
For those who might not know, the Battle Network games are RPGs with tactical turn based combat. All six of the mainline titles originally released on the Game Boy Advance between 2001 and 2006.
The official product description reads: "Featuring a music player with over 180 songs, a gallery with over 1,000 images, and an optional high-resolution filter, get ready to dive in to the Cyberworld with Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection!"
However, the above trailer points out that the collection will be split into two parts digitally — named Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Vol. 1 will include Battle Network 1, 2, and 3, while Vol. 2 will feature Battle Network 4, 5, and 6. The physical release will include all of them.

GLORIOUS!
I'll wait for physical for this one.
Lmao, I literally asked for this collection yesterday🤣
Separate Trophy list for each game, one would hope. I never played the originals but saw the TV show (and collected the metal dics from crisp bags) so might give this collection a look.
The Battle networks were always my favourite megaman games
This gives me hope that maybe one day we will se a re-release of MegaMan Legends 1&2 🤞🏾
@GorosBat can you ask for a Legacy of Kane collection today?
I've waited for this day for over a year lmao. I wished we were getting the DS version of MegaMan 1 and 5, but it doesn't matter, I'll get this on every platform available physically, lol.
Probably best to get the physical version
Played these to death back on the GBA, nice surprise!
Never heard of these games let alone played any of them 🤷♂️ i do like the other megaman games tho so will keep my 👀 peeled.
@Golem25 I've also never played the games before (due to never owning anything Nintendo growing up), but I did love the anime alot while it was airing on TV back in the day.
Hopefully we'll eventually get the MegaMan NT Warrior anime re-released at some point, probably by Discotek?
@Kibinaaru MegaMan Legends collection would be dope, as well as a StarForce collection too!
After all of those are released, hopefully Capcom will release a brand new MegaMan game...
Why do chono cross and this game us that UGLY HD filter like man its soo bad its obvi they using ai upscaling and its not doing the job right chono corss looked very bad with this filter but its day one for me anyways!!!
play one and you have played them all. cookie cutter sequels to be sure. there is a reason why these games have been dorment for so long.
My day = made. Best news.
Ohhh boy, this brings some sweet memory, used to play this on GBA, had a good time.
Do we think each game will get its own platinum or will it be one of those collections where you have to beat all of them to get 1 platinum? I’d be so bummed if that was the case. Still would play it though
Is this a Remaster Collection?? I hope Capcom will also announce a Mega Man Legends Collection.
Definitely a day one buy for me.
I loved these back in the day, will definitely be getting this, great value, with more companies would make large legacy collections l, especially of GBA and better quality titles
I can't truly comprehend why they would do a next gen release as well, I gotta assume it would sell better since PS5 players are definitely gonna pay more attention to PS5 games
For me these are going to be a Switch buy but it’s really nice that they’re being released on all platforms (technically.. sorry XBS X|S & PS5) instead of being marooned on GBA, DS, and Wii U.
