Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection - Switch

Bottom line: The Capcom Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection ($26.95 on Amazon as of 2026-10-06): All 10 Battle Network games in one Switch package, including both halves of 3, 4, 5 and 6; main trade-off: sold as one collection or split into two separate digital volumes, which fragments the library.

Manufacturer description

You get Battle Network 1 through 6, including both versions of every split release - 3 White and Blue, 4 Red Sun and Blue Moon, 5 Team Protoman and Team Colonel, and 6 Cybeast Gregar and Cybeast Falzar. That is the complete GBA-era run without hunting down individual cartridges. Beyond the games, the collection leans hard into archival value. A built-in Music Player holds more than 180 tracks pulled from all 10 titles, and the Gallery opens up over 1,000 pieces of concept art, character sketches, and official illustrations, plus a Mystery Data section with event exclusives and licensed-goods…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Capcom Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the games & cartridges category. Capcom's games & cartridges lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for games & cartridges of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
