Director Masakazu “Mr. Famous” Eguchi delivered an update on even more exciting features coded into Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection. All 499 Patch Cards created for Mega Man Battle Network 4 onwards will be included in the collection! Previously, these were physical cards only sold in Japan and had to be scanned into the game. Additionally, players who want to focus on experiencing the story of Lan and his NetNavi, MegaMan.EXE, can now use the new Buster MAX Mode, which will be automatically disabled for online NetBattles.
