Patched Games
What are you offering me?
- In the interest of offering a fuller experience, I've compiled a bunch of patched version of the games in the MegaMan Battle Network series (and adjacent titles) to help players maximize their enjoyment. While OSS and BN5DS are not patched, they are the definitive versions of their games to play and have been included for that reason.
Do I need a Wii U for these?
- No, you don't. These are GBA and DS games, and can be played on the appropriate emulators of your choice. Personally, I tend to use mGBA, DeSmuME, and EmuHawk. If you want BrotherBands in the Star Force games, I recommend melonDS.
Where can I download these?
- MegaMan Battle Network
- Bokura no Taiyō (Boktai)
- MegaMan Star Force
Additional Notes
- Feel free to check out my YouTube channel. I've been making videos for a Let's Play I'm planning!
- If you need help with the games, feel free to PM me on Twitch. I'm happy to trade chips for Battle Network or weapons for Boktai.
- Please support any official releases for these games that may come down the line! I've actually purchased these games (aside from OSS) on original release!
- Finally, if you enjoy any of these series, be sure to check out these fan projects as well!
