Talk:Mega Man Battle Network

Requested move

Mega Man Battle Network → MegaMan Battle Network. Although in every other Mega Man series the title character is spelt with a space, this one has the titular character in CamelCase by convention. Thus "Mega Man" is in fact incorrect (this can be verified through in-game sources as well as official sources). kelvSYC 06:50, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Support. While I personally would go further and say that in the rest of the games, the correct spelling is also spaceless (but not capitalised, ie "Megaman"), the majority of the community here wishes to be consistent in spacing out the names. However, the EXE series is a very large exception and universally uses CamelCase, so I heartily support this effort. --Boco XLVII 16:10, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Support I also agree that it should be changed to "Megaman" Paulvil 23:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

In regards to whether or not "Mega Man" should be spelled with or without a space, and with or without CamelCase, The following couple of sentences are a tad confusing. I came across this article simply wishing to know a bit more about Mega Man, so I ask the one who know more than I for assistance in clearing up these sentences.

"This spinoff combines elements of the classic Mega Man stories with the high-tech world of computers, and thus CamelCase is predominantly used. As such, this is the only series in which "MegaMan" is correctly spelt without the space."

I find it confusing as in the first sentence, Mega Man is spelled like so, without the space, then changes and says the latter version is correct.--Snaxe920 08:02, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

Discussion

There has to be either a series page like this or one page named "battle network" with all the games on it. I believe that there is enough to put on the pages of each game provided you combine the ones with two versions, like red and blue. There is a different story for each game, and there should be a taxobox for each game on "MegaMan Battle Network" if you want to move it back. Otherwise you should leave it, but that's your decision.--Zxcvbnm 5 July 2005 21:24 (UTC)

Mr. Famous

In every game since the first, NetNavis used by Mr. Famous were created by fans of the series, being winners of design contests from Capcom. I don't think that setence is entirely correct. First of all, Mr. Famous was not in the first game (he debuted in BN2 with GateMan.EXE as his Navi). Second, in BN3, his Navi was Punk.EXE, which is based off of the original series' Punk. Though, while Punk.EXE is based off of that Punk, he might have also been a contest entry as well (I'm not sure about this).

• No, Punk.EXE is the EXE version of the Robot Punk, and was not a contest entry. --LordHuffNPuff 18:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

"Pure Fiction"

The edit by 67.10.27.21:

removed nonsense paragraph. cite source that says that in 1987, humanity thought the next stepping stone was via robotics. they didn't. pure fiction.

"Pure fiction", is it? I don't think so. What did everyone think around 1987 would be the next great stepping stone? A fully animatronic android, able to act like a human. Fiction has a basis in reality. How many works of fiction around there depicted a world where humans have built androids? That fiction is a reflection of society's views of the time. The paragraph was true: Until the invention of the Internet, everyone thought that the next great invention would be a robot. Look at newspapers, journals, research logs. What did they, at one point or another, say what they thought the future would be like? Robotics would be the central pillar around our civilization. What was science working towards? An animatronic android.

No one predicted the internet. It was completely unexpected. And so, our dreams shifted from androids to networks, and Mega Man, a product of fiction of 1987, an android, was reenvisioned as a highly complex program that protects the world from extremely advanced computer viruses. The paragraph was completely true. I'm reenserting it.

Matter of Opinion

I removed the last sentance in the Megaman Battle Network 4 summary that read "It's a really great, entertaining game." This is purely a matter of opinion- in fact, MMBN4 turned off many hardcore players, including myself, from the series. If anything, there should be a bit of info about how although 3 just added stuff to 2, and 2 to 1, 4 removed many gameplay points from 3, such as the elemental styles and navi blocks, which allowed a great deal of player customization.

As a side point, these paragraphs could really use some tidying up.

DS game?

A DS game taking place after the Battle Network series? Interesting. Maybe it'll be like 30 years later and star Lan's kids or something.

Anyway, I presume that the DS game refered to in the Trivia section is not Mega Man ZX, right? --That was me. Gaming King 20:47, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

It's called Rockman ZN, apparently.—ウルタプ 20:25, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

So, they're going all-double-letters, eh? That's two different new DS series, one a Battle Network continuation, one a MegaMan X/MegaMan Zero continuation. Very similar to how they had MMBN and MegaMan Zero on GBA. --Gaming King 20:47, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

It's called Ryuusai No RockMan, or "Shooting Star RockMan." The US name will be "MegaMan Star Force." It's set 200 years after EXE6 --LordHuffNPuff 21:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Better Image

Can we use a different image for the series? having Rock vs Desert is kind of bleh, maybe something with Netto and Rockman? Some official art perhaps? -Sukecchi 14:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

change in bass's (Forte's) deletion

Yes I changed what they said about bass going out with the net in battle network six but still the net was never destriod was it? unless the force programs explosiondid it?

Please help me and if you want to burn me please no swearing and I wonder in that program tthat fyrefox sttole the one wily used at the end with the cybeast copybots?

you could use some better spelling, and please sign your posts, after the final secret boss fight with Bass in BN6 Bass is apperantly deleted, however Lan states quite clearly that they would see him again, so the destruction of the net likly didn't kill him.

gbkid410@aol.com or if it does not work try Tomlinsongang@aol.com

no I am not realated to the football player or the ax killer

Naming Conventions

Why exactly is it that every time the word Mega Man is used it's followed by (Rock Man)? Last I checked, this was the ENGLISH Wikipedia, not the Japanese one. Shouldn't we be going by what the characters are calling in the American version, and just note briefly that it's different in Japan?--Niroht | Smoke signals 22:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

4.5

Maybe in the box at the bottom beside BCC and Network Transmission we should put 4.5 under the title Real Operation. Despite the fact it wasn't released as here it is a gaiden like the other two.

Could you reiterate that please? I don't understand. --Niroht | Smoke signals 18:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

It took a while to figure it out...but I think I understand. 4.5 isn't in the template at the bottom. -Sukecchi 18:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Er... I'm sorry, I was asking if we should put 4.5 in the template at the bottom under the title Real Operation, or maybe as 4.5.
