We are getting close to Mega Man Battle Network's 20th anniversary, what are you expecting?

[Solarc]

The first Mega Man Battle Network game was released in Japan on March 21 2001.

Sure would be nice if we could get even the tiniest bit of a hint we're getting a collection or two, but I'll try to keep my expectations low.

What about you, do you think we're getting anything on the 21st?

 

[Blue Hedgehog]

I'm expecting nothing

 

[JaseMath]

I expect nothing aside from a tweet (at most).

 

[Kent]

Hopes: Mega Man Battle Network Collection

Expectations: A phone wallpaper with a MMBN 20th Anniversary emblem on it

 

[Zen]

Nothing. MM is a dead IP. RIP MML3 and the rest of the gang

 

[Lotus]

We better get a collection 😤

 

[RockmanBN]

Nada. Also still wondering what actual new game they have in development. Already been more than 3 years since MM11 was announced.

 

[Launchpad]

Have people been paying attention at all? lol. MM11 is still fresh and Capcom are releasing collections at a clip. I think an expectation of a Battle Network collection is certainly possible.

 

[RowdyReverb]

This thread is about all I am expecting

 

[sir_crocodile]

at best a disappointing BN collection.

 

[alexlf]

A tweet from Capcom with some nice art.

I'm expecting to much, aren't I?

I dunno if I'd call 11 fresh at this point. It's been a couple years. Either way, I agree. Capcom's been on a weird tear the last couple of years. If Zero could get a collection, BN is possible. The only question would be if BT and ...Star Force? are included.

 

[Brainiac 8]

I expect nothing but I hope for a Battle Network Legacy Collection. It is all I need for all of the major Mega Man games all being on one system.

Mind you I'm not counting the Legends games as I don't think Capcom has any desire to acknowledge them again. :(

 

[Randomless]

I expect absolutely nothing but I would like a collection release.

 

[Deleted member 48828]

"Hey guys, we drew BN Megaman next to the number 20."

 

[BackwardCap]

Why would we expect anything from this franchise?

 

[koutoru]

Yeah I would hope for some sort of collection. As to how they'll package/frame it or if they'll even offer all the games remains to be seen.

By this time last year the ZX collection was already announced and released so I'm wondering if they'll even hit a 2021 time frame this time.

 

[neoak]

Maybe a collection. Maybe.

 

[ZeroX]

The only question would be if BT and ...Star Force? are included.

They won't

the Collections are pretty straight forward with just mainline entries. I guess ZX happened but that collection was small without it, BN would be 9 games (awkwardly split?). At best I expect being able to choose what game version you want for the latter entries

I'd love em all tho

 

[Snake Eater]

Obviously an announcement of a new trilogy in the series

 

[shoptroll]

A commemorative Nendoroid at best

 

[Birdie]

Upload the full anime online.

 

[collige]

Nothing

Spoiler

But I'm hoping anyway

 

[KtotheRoc]

I'm not expecting anything. A Collection would be nice.

 

[KoolAid]

That gacha Protodude has been hinting at for so long.

 

[Deleted member 44122]

im not expecting anything but im hoping for a collection or 2

 

[Byakura]

not a single thing

 

[Deleted member 1839]

Wasn't there someone here with a known track record concerning megaman that a BN collection and new mobile game is coming?

He only said that a Battle Network mobile game was in development and was supposed to be released at the end of last year. Likely got delayed due to Covid. And that a new game has been in development since early 2019.

 

[udivision]

Maybe a tweet from Sakurai with MM's final smash.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Nothing. At best we would get a gacha that would ruin the gameplay flow with pay2win mechanics

 

[StarPhlox]

I believe the collection(s) will be coming soon but I don't expect anything necessarily around this anniversary. Would love to be proven wrong but yeah I feel like we're 6-12 months from the next MM collection.

 

[Lemony1984]

Gotta get a collection at some point but I'm not expecting it aytime soon.

 

[leder]

I would live remastered soundtracks like we got with Zero

 

[Nigthwizard]

In a perfect world, a collection, heck a new game, but in reality? nothing

 

[Adnor]

Nothing besides a tweet and the characters in a Mega Man mobile game.

 

[ArcaneStar_]

It's time for the legacy collection

 

[Giraffe Keighley]

Wait a new Battle Network game or a new mega man game in general?

 

[Omniblack]

Thanks for the reminder. I'll do my yearly turning on my copy of battle network 6 (falzar) and injecting that nostalgia straight into my veins.

Did turn it on one summer and found my save gone...fun 2 weeks of replaying the game and collecting every chip possible bar a few. Not expecting anything for the anniversary though.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Another Collection. Dev 1 seems good for it as long as you're not called Legends.

Hmm I guess the collection was an assumption due to them already porting the classic, X and Zero games and that BN and Starforce would be next.

 

[RockmanBN]

Just new game in general. Many assume X9 after this description stated in the X Legacy Collection 1&2 soundtrack after X8: "The story of X's fight is not yet over."

 

[Tavernade]

Hopefully we'll get a collection. There's nothing weird that would prevent it from existing, is there? A bunch of the games already got rereleased on Wii U.

I hope the GameCube game is part of the collection too. Just for completion.

 

[julia crawford]

Peace and quiet

 

[delete12345]

Let's go all out and say that we will get a new Mega Man Battle Network teaser, but it will be a spinoff of Mega Man Battle Network mainline.

I'm all about that denial.....

 

[MechaJackie]

They better release a collection, or else I WILL cry.

 

[Snowfruit]

I was just thinking about this earlier. Battle Network is the only Mega Man I care about so I'll be disappointed if they don't at least make a legacy collection.

 

[Raysoul]

Mobile Gacha game

 

[VariantX]

A mobile game most likely if there are any game announcements to be made.

What I would like are the old games with visual upgrades in a collection but thats probably way more money than they want to spend. Spritework is expensive and will never get any less expensive because its a skill fewer and fewer people have as time goes on.
