The soundtracks from the cult-classic Mega Man Battle Network series of Game Boy Advance games are now available to officially stream online, to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary this year.

Mega Man Battle Network is a reimagining of Mega Man that trades a world of robots for a world of internet companions known as Net Navis who dwell inside the iPhone-like devices of their human owners. The gameplay was a unique mix of world exploration and a grid-based action battling system that utilized a deck of cards for attacks.

The series was a massive success in its home country of Japan, spawning six mainline games with Pokemon-style dual versions, multiple spin-off games, manga, toys, a long-running anime series and a theatrical movie. Battle Network was met with more moderate success in the United States, with only the six mainline games and some of the aforementioned content being released, but the series still has cult following in the states.

One particular element that stood out to many fans was the series’ memorable electronica-style music. The series had numerous talented composers whose credits range from Okami to Final Fantasy 15. The music of the Battle Network games was previously released as a CD collection exclusive to Japan, but the collection is now available to stream internationally on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music. Most of the titles are still in Japanese aside from the main themes, but they are listed in chronological order.

Hopefully this is a sign of more things to come for Battle Network’s 20th Anniversary. Following the critical and commercial success of the Mega Man and Zero/ZX Legacy Collections, many fans are hopeful that Capcom will release a collection of the Battle Network games.

The official 20th anniversary for Battle Network would have been in March, but a post was made on Capcom’s official Mega Man site last month asking fans for “patience,” suggesting that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in delays of potential announcements for the anniversary. So perhaps there is more in store for Battle Network fans.

Mega Man Battle Network 1-6 are available digitally on the Nintendo Switch.
