(DS Remix) 15:01 MMBN6: Hero! Anyways I like how for the 6th game they just gave up and went with "Hero!"
rollerblazing I feel like it's more of what MegaMan is by then. It slowly goes up from just running through cyber space, to showing courage, to upholding justice, to forming a team and no longer fighting alone, to being an all out Hero!
Numberman's stage has a surprisingly deep theme for just another dungeon of the game (particularly by incorporating the game's main theme into it). Maybe it's partly due to the fact that Higsby would be quite a series mainstay lol.
CatatonicComplex imo it’s because the Numberman scenario is the first time Lan and Megaman have to step up and be heroes; Fireman’s scenario was just sort of putting out a house fire, but in Numberman’s, the whole school is at stake. It’s the first time Lan and Megaman have to handle a crisis, so it’s sort of a beginning/coming of age of sorts for them.
BN: Good ol' Megaman, what a guy Transmission: The theme was based on the first anime opening, so it's represented by Crossfusion BN2, BN3: The "strongest" styles BN4-BN6: Coolest forms
BN4- Full Synchro plus Chip Advances done with repeatable stacking making double damage advances allowing for theoretical two shot kills on bosses. If THAT isn't exploitable power I don't know what is. Imagine Double Damage Dark Chips included.
I'm desperately hoping exe makes a comeback on Switch, and exe gets in as a DLC character tbh. His Mii skin mysteriously disappeared coming from 4 to Ultimate. And BN had a bigger backing than SF. There has to be a reason they skipped past exe, and I'm quietly hoping it's because of a BN7+Smash DLC release lol
This may be a tad late, but a Legacy Collection has just recently been announced with all ten of the games included. It's set to come out in 2023. Look forward to it. =)
Every megaman will always be my childhood, I remember playing battle network at school and figuring out the story and how to advance (game was in english and I didn't know the language yet), it was a blast everytime we reached a new chapter with my friends.
I remember watching a let's play of BN3 when I was _very_ young and having absolutely no idea what was happening. I ended up quitting pretty early. Then I returned years later and it was a _blast._
It’s my favorite Megaman series ever, and I’m confident saying that it ranks second behind the Zero series as the greatest Megaman series of all time. It grandiose really. I hope my kids get to enjoy it someday. And really, What an ost to conclude the saga. MMBN6 was truly a masterpiece.
The game's music in general gives me this vibe. BN1 - Retrowave BN2 - Hip Hop/Funk BN3 - Dance Audition BN4 - Generic Rock BN4.5 - Jazz Fusion BN5 - DnB/Soul BN6 - Ballad/RnB All fused with J Pop
Can't thank you enough for putting all of these nostalgic songs in one place, Nice one. P.S. Perfect candidate chosen to represent MMBN 4, Wind soul is one of the best things to come out of that game.
rollerblazing Fine taste indeed RB, I feel the same. Longtime Mmbn series art Director Yuji Ishuhara also appreciates Windman/Windsoul's overall Aesthetic: www.capcom-unity.com/gregaman/blog/2011/05/18/ten_years_of_battle_network:_questions_answered
My first BN was BN4, and man the Megaman Series and Kingdom Hearts is the only series Ive replayed so often (BN4 over 9 times XD) at 11:57 the nostalgia hit harder than expected snif
13:03 you're not alone gives me chill when I heared it.. It flashed back to me when all the team Protoman reunited in front of nebula Also the healing pulse used by medi
I miss pvp with my friends in BN3. Half of us would use bug soul, so you always got funny situations like person stuck going to the bottom of the screen. Or being panicked selecting chips since hp would be dropping while paused.

How does it feel knowing that the BN1 hero theme is in one of the earliest and less memorable scenarios in the game? (That being the NumberMan scenario)
I'm a BN oldfag who found out the series when the was only BN1, and got hooked and followed it very closely till the end. I just didnt play the SF games.
Why doesn't CAPCOM like my money? I beg you to release it all on a current system! Just goddamn port it man, don't even have to improve them! It's like those guy with the .hack// series! Oh you've made the GU a port for Steam? Fantastic! WHERE'S THE FIRST SET OF GAMES, DINGUS?! JUST LET ME REBUY JUNK TAKE MY DAMN MONEY I LOVE YOU PLEASE CALL ME
This compilation feels kind of incomplete without Moving Scene from the Star Force trilogy, but I guess that isn't strictly MMBN. Also, wow, hearing the two versions side by side, MMBN5's Hero theme really lost a lot in the transition from GBA to DS, didn't it?
abraveastronaut oh my god yes. While I think both work while playing the games- I did enjoy the DS ost a lot more while I was playing it- GBA is sooooo much better when it comes to listening alone tbh
So wait, what would the theme that plays when Megaman is revealed to be Hub in BN1 be if not a Hero theme? also wow oss' theme is really bad Is it just me or are a lot of these missing some audio channels?
Diederik de Noorman tbh between making these into videos and uploading them to RUclips a certain degree of sound quality loss is inevitable, but I haven’t noticed any actual missing channels? Like I listen to the raw mp3s for the battle network osts daily and besides the inevitable muddiness it sounds fine to me but I could be wrong. It could also depend on the headphones you’re wearing! Also the track you’re referring to, the Hub one, is “Hour of Fate”, BN1’s emotion theme*! It plays during the “”sad”” part (when he dies to MagicMan), but Running Through The Cyberworld plays when Lan uses Hub.bat to resurrect him and it’s all uplifting and such. *theres no official name for em afaik so I just call em “Emotion” themes-think Wiping Tears, Vicinity of Sorrow, Promise, et cetera. I’d call em sad themes but Hour of Fate is more melancholic than sad, Tender Moments isn’t sad either, and Sad Rain is used more ironically than not also ya oss is shit. I’d really rather not put it in at all but i do it for completion’s sake
they should really redo OSS and release it in the USA, but that'll never happen just like a lot of things us MMBN and Megaman fans in general would really appreciate from Capcom ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

WE GOT THE LEGACY COLLECTION BABY
COMING TO SWITCH
BN: Good ol' Megaman, what a guy
Transmission: The theme was based on the first anime opening, so it's represented by Crossfusion
BN2, BN3: The "strongest" styles
BN4-BN6: Coolest forms
BN4- Full Synchro plus Chip Advances done with repeatable stacking making double damage advances allowing for theoretical two shot kills on bosses. If THAT isn't exploitable power I don't know what is. Imagine Double Damage Dark Chips included.
> Coolest forms
> Meddy Soul
I mean I like it, but don't you think "coolest" isn't quite the right word here? :)
I really wish some Battle Network music made it into smash bros. =\
InitialDrifterZ I’m salty that the Starforce theme got in over the Battle Network ones
@@AznPandaFTW same

There has to be a reason they skipped past exe, and I'm quietly hoping it's because of a BN7+Smash DLC release lol
I was so mad that none of it did. Why would they do this to us
@@AznPandaFTW It's better than nothing.
Man I miss these games so much. I wish they continued making Megaman RPGs
Megaman battlenetwork XChrono, check it out
This game community is still living. Check out chrono x
Well the good news is that we are finally getting a legacy collection of all 10 games next year.
This may be a tad late, but a Legacy Collection has just recently been announced with all ten of the games included. It's set to come out in 2023. Look forward to it. =)
Thanks for manifesting the Legacy Collection. I hope you're enjoying it :)
The 2016 of Running through the Cyber World is so freakin good, just to show how good this series was and a total homage to where it all started

Yea same here with BN5
BN4 Red Sun was the first game I ever owned
the two proof of courage songs always make me want to cry. Although, I have to admit, They. Are. Epic
Yes, They have something i can't explain.
@@Asian_JD They are the best ones in my opinion. The others just never really hit me the same way. MMBN2 and 3 were my childhood, =)
They make us unlock the "epic operator style"
Thanks for uploading! Battle network series has a great story/music. Wish there was more of it.
LEGACY COLLECTION HYPE!
BN3 Proof of Courage, and Hero! are still to this day the best songs from the Battle Network Franchise.
13:03 you're not alone gives me chill when I heared it..
It flashed back to me when all the team Protoman reunited in front of nebula
Also the healing pulse used by medi
I miss pvp with my friends in BN3. Half of us would use bug soul, so you always got funny situations like person stuck going to the bottom of the screen. Or being panicked selecting chips since hp would be dropping while paused.
My friends and i would do specific challenges like who could win in a megabuster only match or program advance only battle. Epic fights were had :')
I am jealous, I never got to have a link battle on MMBN. Which is really unfortunate, it sounds like I missed some great times.
cool! i never play pvp..its kinda cool to find out such bug
@@bryanvaldez9398 omg..you are so lucky..i have link cable but never got anybody who play MMBN..so i never got to try one
I like how during bn5 u put megaman fused with meddy

The third one fits a fighting game so much
I just got the Wood Bug style in BN 3, and I'm pretty much here for it tho XD

Skip to 11:00 for my personal favorite rendition.
Probably something like 3 > 5 > 1 > 6 > 2 > 4 for me. And 5 is mainly above 1 thanks to the DS remix.
RedSalamander goosebumps bro
my fav too
I love you buddy, for making this!
Listening to this video while playing mega man battle network 5 team proto man on the switch
I wish they'd make more Battle Network games T -T
KGAGamer look up megaman battle network chrono x
How does it feel knowing that the BN1 hero theme is in one of the earliest and less memorable scenarios in the game? (That being the NumberMan scenario)
11:00 best one
I agree!
I'm thinking of getting a wii u just for this series and other gba titles
Why not just play on an emulator?
i just noticed that some if the sprites in the video changed after their theme ended.
I love that music rock man exe
15th arrange best tracks
12:11 I know where the musician was thinking about taking a vacation to.
Alooohaaa iiii, a-loooohaaa iiii!
Ufff I really like all hero themes, but my special one is BN3. This theme have one special meaning to me cause the background story
Bug style is the best style!
From What i remember, network transmission's hero theme is named "a New ambition"
LEGACY COLLECTION IS HERE GUYS
Who played the whole series?
I'm a BN oldfag who found out the series when the was only BN1, and got hooked and followed it very closely till the end. I just didnt play the SF games.
I'm working on it, I'm at BN2 now

My fucking childhood
I love it 💕
Great job! Love it!
nigginate8 Oh hello. lol
Now I know where they got the Opening idea for Megaman.EXE (Megaman Network Transmission)
ArndreTCG no it’s the other way around you see network transmission was released in 2003 and the anime aired in 2002
thanks! its nostalgic
Cool very cool!
I love mega man ❤️
Omg the first song is sampled from Electrical communication!
Perfect soundtracks for me.. But did they realize that an image, is not MegaMan itself but Lan?
I forgot how hard they went with BN6 compared to the others
This series needs to come to the switch!
the first hero theme is basically NumberMan's stage theme
In my opinion, those games weren't Megaman games. They were something good on their own
DrakRiku1994 Yeah this was MegaMan for me and honestly it’s one of my favorite interpretations but the games are still good
mmbn 6 is the ultimate climax
Killer Cross ftw!
My best song is all mega man bn music and sf2 heavenly clouds music
Why doesn't CAPCOM like my money? I beg you to release it all on a current system! Just goddamn port it man, don't even have to improve them!

it was ported on the wii u just so ya know
I felt this
I still think the MMBN1 version is more appropriate for the final cyber world areas.
This compilation feels kind of incomplete without Moving Scene from the Star Force trilogy, but I guess that isn't strictly MMBN.
Also, wow, hearing the two versions side by side, MMBN5's Hero theme really lost a lot in the transition from GBA to DS, didn't it?

Shoulda used Dark Megaman for 5 or the DS ver of the theme but otherwise great.
Bn5 was hard to me ngl
13:03
14:00
15:02
Am I the only one that thinks in general 1-3 have better soundtracks?
Subbing haha
I wonder why there is an image of CrossFuse Lan Megaman? Doesn't that happen in the anime parallel universe?
0:28

also wow oss' theme is really bad
