While the main Mega Man series is generally associated with side-scrolling action platforming, the Battle Network spin-offs were instead designed as RPGs.
Battles take place on a 6×3 grid and players collect Battle Chips, which are used during fights in a similar style to card-battling games.
The Battle Network series gained a standalone following of its own, leading to their own anime and manga series.
Battle Network 3-6 were re-released on theWii UVirtual Console, but the first two games have only ever been released in their original GBA incarnations.
