About this game

Three months after the WWW incident, a new net-crime syndicate called Gospel is causing trouble around the world. As the school holidays begin, Lan and MegaMan.EXE set out to investigate. Explore as Lan, talk to people and jack into electronic devices to enter cyberspace as MegaMan.EXE. Build a folder of 30 Battle Chips, move across the battle grid in real time, dodge attacks and fire the Mega Buster. Choose chip combinations by matching names or codes, and select fresh chips when the gauge fills. Set a Regular Chip to improve your opening options, and develop new Styles that change MegaMan.EXE's attributes and abilities. Earn Zenny, find chips and power-ups, and save from the Sub Screen. Original cartridge link play supports trading and Net Battles with two GBA systems, two cartridges and a Game Link cable.

Also known as: Battle Network Rockman EXE 2
