My viewers who are into Capcom games will no doubt have heard that Capcom has decided that they've gone too long without making a PR screwup the size of Jupiter and have therefore picked the cancellation of Megaman Legends 3 as said screwup(Although I honestly had my doubts about the game's quality starting with Inafune leaving Capcom). So while we wait for Capcom to come to their senses and resume the project, we'll look back fondly on the time when Megaman was the thing Capcom was famous for. I speak of Megaman Battle Network 3, the best in the Battle Network series and the very first Megaman game I ever played.
Penchant that I have for starting with sequels, I chose Battle Network 3 to start with because it was the only Battle Network game the Gamestop I was at had in stock. So after paying a whopping 5 dollars for the game, a purchase I still consider to be the best value I ever got for a game, I immediately started playing. From the moment I started, I was hooked.
The game is separated into two types of scenarios. The first is fighting the WWW's(short for World 3) evil Navis. The second, which stops about halfway through the game, is a Netbattle tournament called the N1. The N1 is never concluded because the organizer was found to be a member of WWW. Most of the bosses are based on characters from the classic Megaman games, such as Flashman and Plantman, but some are new to Megaman, such as Beastman and Kingman.
After defeating the bosses(I won't go into detail because there are just too many of them) and defeating Alpha, an enormous virus whose sole purpose is to destroy the Net, we unlock a secret area, which has a few extra bosses and a fellow named Serenade, who is untouchable for most of the battle. we unlock some "Time Trials", which are challenges designed to test your skills against the bosses. I still haven't beaten the time trials, mainly because I couldn't use my stupidly overpowered custom folder on them.
I'll end the review on this note: Megaman Battle Network 3 is definitely worth buying. I'd use Amazon or Ebay to buy it because Gamestop has stopped selling Game Boy Advance games.
Also, a little news flash: Thursday of next week will not have a review, as I will be very busy that day.
