Enter the battle chips. In the GBA titles, Lan would upload battle chips to his digital warrior from a pre selected chip folder at the beginning of each “turn.” Since the need for turns is gone in this game, Lan will still be able to upload chips to Mega Man when the custom gage is full, but unlike the GBA titles the custom gauge fills up a lot slower, and doesn’t always give you the chips you need. This can cause problems when trying to tackle that really hard enemy or get the right gear together before a boss battle.
Unfortunately, getting the right chips isn’t the only problem, but using them can be equally as difficult. After you select what chips you wish to use, you must continuously cycle through the selected chips with the L & R shoulder buttons and then use the corresponding chips with the Y button. Doing all this can cause quite a hic-up when battling some of the more challenging enemies. There are simply too many ways to be caught off guard.
The most popular complaint among the gaming media is this Network Transmission’s near unforgiving difficulty. While they are partially right about the game being tough, it should be said out in the open that it is not impossible. It is just the question of the gamer being willing to take the extra time to acquire more battle chips. On a side note to those who are playing this before they read the reviews, the first two bosses are the most difficult, but the game gets gradually easier as you go along.
One of the things that most people will find enjoyable about this game will likely be the inclusion of some of their favorite bosses all the way back from the NES days. They are redesigned and look a lot better than their 8-bit predecessors.
