With the release of MegaMan Battle Network Legacy Collection, the series esports scene is experiencing a healthy resurgence.
Imagine that your Nintendo Switch didn’t have the ability to connect online and that the competitive game you’re currently playing only supported local multiplayer. It’s a little hard to picture in 2023, right? That’s what Mega Man Battle Network fans had to deal with during the early 2000s. If you wanted to have a battle with your friend during Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance days, they’d have to be within your immediate vicinity and have a Link Cable available to connect two GBAs.
Let’s tango Mega Man Battle Network 6’s competitive scene started to gain a bit of traction in the late 2000s through an open-source emulator called VBA Link 1.8. The tool was handy because it was compatible with the Game Boy Advance Wireless Adaptor, but it was so old that no one could make adjustments to it. The emulator’s source code was lost and some games simply ran like garbage on it. It wasn’t an ideal way to play, but fans had few options at the time.
It marked a big moment for those who missed the MMBN franchise back when it was first released. N1GP moderator SoulXCross exclaims, “But this release, and the marketing that went into it, is huge. People see it! I have students at the local high school I work at asking me about Mega Man Battle Network, in 2023!”
Lingering pain points Even with the ease of access between the Steam version and the Tango emulator, there are still some issues with BNLC, creating more need for community innovation. The elephant in the room is the lack of cross-play between platforms. As a result, N1GP moderator HonorNite expects that there will be certain niches across each PC, PlayStation, and Switch.
