Battle Network 3 -- what do you think?

Zora · 08-17-2003, 07:32 AM

My collection of Megaman games was poor. Very poor. Up until at long last I got Megaman for the Gameboy. I was happy. I've slowly built my collection, and when I saw Megaman Battle Network in my local GAME store back when I was in Hampshire, I got it instantly. I was happy. I liked it.

Megaman Battle Network 2 caught my eye in a similar fashion. It has not been advertised over here, so it's probably not as good and loved a game as... Resident Evil. Hmm.

Megaman Battle Network 3. I heard about it more online than I did in a magazine. I heard there were two versions: Blue and White. I heard they were different in their ways. I feel like it's fallen into the Poke-trap, but I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.

I played it. I had it and lost it, in a financial mess, currently of which I find myself. *sigh* But I need to know more about it before I jump into the "It's my birthday!" that will hit my parents next month.

What do people think of it? Is it worth my playing through? Should I get the two versions -- is it worth that? Does it have the same feel the other games had?

Should I add it to the collection?

I have to ask. I need to know! My collection currently contains MMBN 1 and 2, MM Zero, MMX (SNES), Megaman 1 for the Gameboy, Megaman and Bass (GBA) and MM Legends. Should the two games join in the fun?

Try to get to get Blue, as it contains more battle chips exclusive to the game then white does. But, yes, include it.

Never played EXE... it looks fun, though. I bought X5 for PC for $5 the other day, and now I'm thinking of getting an emulator for EXE, because X5 is RIDICUOUSLY HARD.
...but it was only $5, so I can't complain!

I've had it since December. Ordered the import the day it was released in Japan. UPS 2-day was pathetically slow.

I have just one thing to say: IT ROCKS! (Pun intended.) I'll give you three guesses as to where my PDN came from, and the first two don't count. I'm preordering EXE4 straight from Japan this December.

Poochy almost sounded familier until then.

GINREI! Didn't... *thinks* Hmm. You know, you should get the Megaman Battle Networks... I thought I ordered you to back when I was here, but upon further realisation, I was already gone by then... Did you know I was gone nearly three years? Very strange.

Hmm. So it's a good idea. Is it good plot-wise? I never was one for chip-collecting (I'm currently stuck both 1 and 2 on collecting more chips to get more stuff and move on in the game)... Is it funny? Does it involve a lot of travel? Are the enemies difficult?

Ginrei · 08-18-2003, 03:06 PM

ZORA! Long time, no see! Vah-ery long time! You do know your homestead site went down AGES ago, it's so sad because I can't see your lovely bunnie art nomores. I saved a few of 'em, but...
Well! I... dun remember getting orders... But! Emu time it is! I would, you know, do the legal thing and buy a GBA, etc, but as X5 left me with only $6 to my naaaame... hah.
[img]graemlins/cow.gif[/img] Moo! Haha, I love new smilies...

Zora · 08-19-2003, 12:54 PM

^^ Took some time.

Yeah, with my dead Homestead site went my only link to the Hyrule Battlefield and a lot of other stuff I want back, now, but can't get. So it's somewhat a big shame. I went and opened it up free-wise again but the images, the writing... it's all gone. So that's a bit of a downer.

Anyway I've been drawing new stuff. ^_^ I'll show you sometime.

Well, a GBA is a bit expensive anyway. o.o I had to return my spanking new SP just to get finance to last me. I have one again, now, so that is goodness. ^_^ Emu is so much more... well, cheap, interesting, linkable, etc...

PM me some linkage sites, I PM you some cyuute bunny pics. ^_^

08-19-2003, 01:19 PM

THREE YEARS!

Has it really been that long? Yup, it's the same old me, just with a new PDN, an EXE obsession, and a lot less of a n00b. ^^;

If you're collecting chips in BN2, the Marine Harbor Chip Trader Special is very generous about giving out varied chips. Not too good for trying to get multiple of one chip though. And stay away from the Official Center one. Garbage in, garbage out.

Brothers have it... I wouldn't buy it.

08-22-2003, 02:40 AM

haha, got the ROMs of all three.

GET IT IF YOU WANT TO FACE JAPANMAN OMFG Ys3

Zora · 08-22-2003, 12:18 PM

Poocy, let's put it this way: The last words I heard here were 2000-2001: "Give her a month, she'll be back" either by Metal Mario or Omnitarian.

Happy 2003-2004!

I've got the MMBN2 ROM now, which will help me in my sprite comicry I do (I'm the leader of Team Yellow on N-Fans, www.captainn.net ), so that's good, and 37 days to a very special birthday... day. So that'll be fun and nice and stuff. And I can get both games then, probably.

But the actual spending side of things is not as reccommended?

Next job: drawing comics for EarthBound Legal, Nintendo Database (guess who else came back!) and the spriting of the Adam saga and Team Yellow's new goodness stuff. Woo!

I've been a Team Yellow person for two years now. It's so weird!

FlashMan is easy, but everything thereafter gets harder and harder and then holy ****.

09-11-2003, 05:46 PM

It does have some much diffculty, but I recommend that you buy it. You can nvr go wrong with capcom. (Hey that rhymes!) I have blue, and should be called In setad Mega Man awesome game network. The only exe games I've played are network transmission and obviously BN3, and they both rock. Oh yeah, about chip trader onBN3, use the one in Higby's
