Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection News Roundup

Here is a double feature Mega News Roundup, available as video on the ShadowRockZX YouTube channel or through the embeds above! At last we have a new Mega Man release to discuss with the announcement of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection at the Nintendo Direct Mini Partner Showcase. Bringing all six (or ten if you count the split versions) Game Boy Advance versions of the mainline Mega Man Battle Network titles to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Steam in 2023 (sadly, no Xbox port this time ;-;). In the first video, I give my initial reaction and thoughts to the reveal trailers. Tune in to the second roundup video as we delve into various topics and discussion surrounding the collection, such as Andrew Francis reprising his role as “MegaMan.EXE” for the first time since his Mega Man NT Warrior days. Oh and the sudden announcement that Mega Man: The Wily Wars is now available on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service! Fans of the Blue Bomber had quite the week.
