Everything you need to know about Mega Man Red Sun

Lan and the Blue Bomber are back in action -- just as an asteroid hurtles toward earth!

Category: Adventure
Players: 2 players simultaneous
Multiplayer: Multi-Pak Publisher: Capcom

Features:

* Unique blend of action and RPG elements
* Win chips to dramatically upgrade Mega Man's fighting skills
* Two-player chip-trading and vs. modes with Blue Moon or sister game Mega Man Battle Network 4: Red Sun Game Paks
* Debut of Soul Unison and Dark Soul systems

Take on the world's toughest NetBattlers and save the planet from an asteroid while you're at it in Mega Man Battle Network 4: Blue Moon or Red Sun. Lan, a school kid, does the walking while his computer program, Mega Man.exe, does the virus stompin'.

The Web is buzzing with news of the big Den Battle Tournament. It's the ultimate battle between Navis (electronic personifications on the Net). Lan and his Navi, Mega Man, must find a way to get into that tournament.

When you control Lan, he skates around the city and chats with his fellow citizens. Some give him clues for completing his mission. If you're ever unsure what Lan is supposed to be doing, press the L Button and Mega Man will remind you of your task or give you a hint on how to finish your task.

When Lan needs to go on the Net to complete his mission, he jacks in his PET (PErsonal Terminal, which holds his Navi) and Mega Man logs into action. The Net can be a scary place. Although it buzzes with key info, it's also littered with viruses that Mega Man needs to delete.

NetBattle:

Once Mega Man crosses the path of a virus, he enters the battle arena. On the left side of the screen, Mega Man has a nine-square block in which to move around. The viruses have a similar block on the right side. When the battle starts, Mega Man can access six chips chosen randomly from a battle folder of 30 chips.

Once Mega Man has his chips, the battle begins. Mega Man can use his battle chips by pressing A. He can use each chip only once before he has to reload. He's allowed to reload once every 15 seconds. Once you're cleared to reload, press the L or R Button. The battle pauses and a screen appears, showing you six more chips you can choose from. Once you make your choice, the battle resumes right where it left off. Mega Man can also fire his Mega-Buster by pressing the B Button. This process continues until Mega Man defeats the viruses or loses all his hit points.

You usually win chips after you defeat viruses. You can mix and match these to upgrade Mega Man's performance. Mega Man can have up to four copies of one type of chip in his battle folder. The more copies of a chip you have, the more likely one is to come up for you during battle.

Tournament:

Both Red Sun and Blue Moon share the same storyline until you get to the big tournament. Here, each game has a unique set of six opponents, one of which will randomly be assigned to battle you. Eight players, including yourself, participate in the tournament. Defeat your opponent's Navis in NetBattles to advance to the semifinals and finals.

Before Lan faces his opponent in the tournament, however, he must complete a story- mode mission. Just before battling his next tournament rival, something terrible happens. Being the great kid he is, Lan leaves the stadium to go right the wrong. As it turns out, the tournament is just a test to find the best NetBattler and recruit him to help save the planet from being smashed by an asteroid.

Soul Mates:

In a new twist, Battle Network 4 features Dark Soul and Soul Unison systems. Once you defeat an opponent in the tournament, you can use his Navi's special abilities for the rest of the game. Whenever Mega Man battles viruses or other enemies, you can sacrifice certain chips to fuse for a short time, a defeated opponent's attributes with Mega Man.

However, some dark, mysterious chips eat away at Mega Man's soul. They're also the most powerful. When Mega Man performs a Soul Unison with these dark chips, Mega Man becomes nearly unbeatable. However, every time he performs a Soul Unison with the dark chips, the dark powers eat away at his hit points, one point at a time. One point per use might not seem like much of a punishment, but Mega Man can never get those hit points back. As the game progresses, Mega Man starts performing unpredictably if he's been corrupted by the dark powers. Don't overuse the dark powers, as tempting as it might be.

Once you've won a couple of tournament battles, you can link up to another Game Boy Advance using the Game Boy Advance Link Cable. If a friend has either Red Sun or Blue Moon, you can battle him or her or trade collected chips.

NetBattles look great but happen way too frequently. At first, battling after every 15 steps is all right because you're trying to build up your chip collection. When you're trying to accomplish your missions, though, getting spammed by these viruses gets old quickly.

The story missions play well (although some have very obscure solutions). It would have been nice, however, to play more tournament battles and spend less time accomplishing missions to get to the big battles.

Bottom Line:

The Mega Man Battle Network 4 games will please fans of the previous Mega Man offerings. The Soul Unison system and the possible conversion of Mega Man to the "dark side" add a unique angle to the series. That is all the information on the new Mega Man game Red Sun. It took me a long time to gather this information and I hope it was helpful to you.

Fans must have this game!

I've been a fan of the MMBN series since it started.I was impressed by the quality of the first game and was even more impressed by the improving graphics and gameplay of each game afterwards. I own every MMBN game and can't wait for this one to come out. This new installment in the series also has the new soul unison system where you use a specific type of battle chip to do a soul unison with a particular navi (i.e. use Sword to soul unison with protoman). There are twelve in all but only six in each version so you either need a friend with the other version or have both versions yourself in order to get everything. So, if you're a fan of the series you should definitely pick up this game.

can't get a better game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those who have Red Sun or Blue Moon you know you can hook up and trade battle chips and what not. But, did you know that you can hook up to Megaman Zero 3? For individuals who have MMZ 3 they my be able to unlock minigames of different characters in that game like ZERO, Copy X or PHANTOM for instance. How sweet is that?

Jack-In!

This game rocks. I have games 1 - 5 and this is my fav! One of my favorite part *MAY SPOIL* once you finish the game you have the choice of the secret areas or do the game again a little harder. Of course, you get to keep your chips. Also, it has a cameo apperance of the Solar Boy Django along with Otenko, another favorite! Good but short.

best mega man game ever

This is the best Megaman EXE game!!!!! The game is pretty long which is a good thing, and the gameplay is excellent. There are enough battle chips, souls, and items to aquire and you can link up with megaman battle network 4: blue moon to unlock more chips ext..., which helps the replay value. If your a Megaman EXE fan then you must buy this game!!!!!!!!!!

Great game,and funny glitches

I think this is the best game ever!(Out of the four others) It's got different storylines each time you play it,it's got the new soul unison thing(Guts,Roll,Search,Thunder,Wind,and Fire),and they have better chips and NEW viruses!

The glitches in the game may be irritating to some people though. Unless you have a good sense of humor then you'll laugh at most of them. I know I did!
