As the title asks... which ones are worth picking up? There are so damn many and I've never played any of them, so I'm at a loss...
 
I really liked Zero 1-4, but 1 and 2 are really hard. IIRC, 3 and 4 are only really hard if you're going for high ranks.

Maybe I will check out 3 and 4 then ;) You don't have to play 1 and 2 to appreciate 3 and 4, do you?

[quote name='TheMaidenOfSorrow']i really like the battle network games (just 2 and 3). havent played any of the platformer ones...[/QUOTE]

Is the first Battle Network not that good? Or did you not play it?

Thanks everyone :)
 
BN 2 and 3 are generally regarded as the best of the series due to upgrades and tweaks to the battle system and the depth of chip selection. The first one is a little too simple.
 
There have been a few topics about this in the past. Here's one:

[quote name='Cao Cao']For the GBA, you can't go wrong with any of the Megaman Zero games. Megaman and Bass is another good one if you want the old-school pre-X style of Megaman gameplay. As for the Megaman Battle Network series of Action-RPGs, your best bets would be with BN2 or BN3.

BN1 has a generic storyline of "Oh noez! Dr. Wily is trying to take over the Earth/Net! Megaman.EXE must stop him!" and the games after BN3 had some pointless gimmicks. BN2 had a much improved storyline over BN1, and it was the last one before Capcom decided to do the Pokemon-style "Two versions, same game" thing. BN3 has two versions, but either of them are good, as BN3 also has a good storyline. Plus, as I stated before, it was after BN3 that Capcom started to add some pointless gimmicks (Dark souls in BN4, some strategy segments, etc.) that had a tendency to harm the game more than they helped.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='Cao Cao']Battle Network: Yeah, they all have a "played one, you played them all" feeling. But really, 2 or 3 would be the best routes to go as they had the stronger storylines in the series, without adding some half-baked gimmicks.
Zero: It's definitely a series of tough games. I remember some time back that there was this thread with a big debate over how the difficulty evolved for the series. There were three significant sides:
- The new features added made each sequel significantly easier than its predecessor. I think this was a position taken primarily by veterans of the series who played through each game as they came out.
- The punishing enemies and level designs more than compensated for any new features, making the series even tougher.
- The factors above complement eachother to balance the difficulty out in each installment, making them all nearly equally tough.
But I just can't find the topic that had this debate. During my search for it, I did find a few more topics related to Megaman:

I have Battle Network 3 Blue and White. It's really fun and it has tons of depth if you want to fully complete everything (well over 100 hrs.).

If you only plan to buy one, buy Blue Version because it has a few improvements over White Version.
