Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Vol. 1[Note 1] is a singleplayer and multiplayer isometric side view Tactical RPG game developed by NeoBards and published by Capcom. It is part of the Mega Man series and is followed by Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Vol. 2.
The game is an enhanced compilation of several Mega Man Battle Network games that were released on Game Boy Advance, and consists of Mega Man Battle Network[Note 2], Mega Man Battle Network 2[Note 3] and Mega Man Battle Network 3: White and Blue[Note 4].
Unlike past Mega Man Legacy Collection game compilations, the games included in Battle Network Legacy Collection are based off the Japanese versions[Note 5] and includes features that were omitted in the western release of the original games, as well as bug fixes that were originally included in later updated re-releases.
Being an enhanced compilation, several additional features were added, including multiple screen filter options, screen size options and the beginner-friendly Buster MAX Mode. New to this collection is an online battle mode, the ability to download formerly-Japan-exclusive Battle Chips, as well as an art gallery and a music player.
The game was released on April 14, 2023.
A patch was released on July 3, 2023 that fixed numerous bugs and glitches across all games, as well as added an additional black border, and the option to change 3D MegaMan.EXE's voice language separate from the text language.[1]

Essential Improvements
Translation Revision for Battle Network 2 and 3

It fixes and improves many lines, the result of a more or less full script comparison with the Japanese text. Also available for the GBA Version.
