Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection
Suit up! All 499 Patch Cards created originally for Mega Man Battle Network games will be included in the collection.

While using it, it’ll multiply the damage of MegaMan.EXE’s normal MegaBuster shot by 100. Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection releases for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) on April 14, 2023. Pre-orders available.
