Gameplay [edit]

MegaMan.EXE battles viruses in Double Squad DS.

Gameplay in Mega Man Battle Network 5 in this game is largely similar to that of its predecessors. The player explores the existent earth through Lan and the Net through MegaMan.EXE. When Lan plugs his PET, a handheld computer, into a estimator with an interface jack, he can upload MegaMan.EXE to the cyber network, allowing him to explore and fight viruses every bit random encounters.

When MegaMan.EXE encounters viruses, the screen shifts to a battle screen set on a six past 3 square grid. On the left half of the filigree is MegaMan.EXE, and on the other half are his opponents. MegaMan.EXE has a relatively weak arm cannon, the Mega Buster, but his principal weapon is Lan's library of boxing chips, one-use-per-boxing special attacks which grant various abilities, including simple attacks, set on enhancements, defensive effects, terrain transmogrification, or aid from other NetNavis. Earlier battle, the player can construct a folder consisted of xxx boxing chips, and each turn of a battle (measured by a timer bar at the top of the screen), the role player is presented with a random selection of these fries. The role player can transport MegaMan.EXE m upward to five battle chips, afterwards which the battle takes place in real time, with MegaMan.EXE, controlled by the player, attacking with his Mega Buster, dodging attacks, or activating boxing chips from his queue.^{[1] [two]}

MegaMan.EXE joins a team led by either Lan's and MegaMan.EXE'southward rivals Chaud and ProtoMan.EXE or new characters Baryl and Colonel.EXE, and the members of this squad assist MegaMan in diverse means. MegaMan.EXE can have on the attributes of ane of his teammates with a Soul Unison.^[1] The squad plays its largest function in Liberation missions, wherein MegaMan.EXE and the rest of his team enter a part of the Nebula-controlled Net to free the area via a time-express boxing with a group of viruses.^[1] Also new to Mega Man Battle Network 5 are "Nighttime Chips", which are more powerful Boxing Fries. While they appeared randomly in Mega Man Battle Network 4 when MegaMan.EXE was badly damaged, they human activity more than like normal boxing fries in this game in that they tin can be added to the battle chip folder like whatsoever other chip. Using Dark Chips has a downside: MegaMan.EXE will no longer be able to reach Soul Unison, and every time MegaMan.EXE uses a Nighttime Bit, he permanently loses one point from his maximum hit points (HP).^[3] He can, however, utilize a Nighttime Scrap for a Soul Unison; this is called a Anarchy Unison, which resembles a normal Soul Unison with the main difference beingness that the Mega Buster is replaced with the effects of the Dark Chip he used for the Chaos Unison. While using this issue doesn't cause HP loss, it has to exist done with careful timing, as charging with poor timing volition finish the Chaos Unison and cause an invincible, evil version of MegaMan.EXE to join the viruses and assail him for a short flow of time using random battle chips. Much like previous games in the series, Game Male child Advance copies of Mega Homo Battle Network five can connect using the Game Boy Accelerate link cablevision to battle head-to-head or to trade battle fries.^[i]

Story [edit]

Lan Hikari and his friends, Dex, Mayl and Yai, are called to the SciLab headquarters for the annunciation of the latest research project that Lan's male parent, Yuichiro, has been working on. Before he tin can reveal information technology to them, mysterious agents accept over SciLab, subduing anybody with sleeping gas, kidnapping Yuichiro, and stealing their PETs (a device that contains the programme avatars called NetNavis). However, Lan was in a different section of the lab and avoids existence discovered or having his PET stolen. The agents turn out to exist working for Dr. Regal and his crime syndicate Nebula, which has returned after being defeated in Mega Man Battle Network four. Nebula subsequently takes over the Net with an army of viruses and Darkloids: NetNavis that use dark powers^{[ clarification needed ]} and Dark Chips.

While investigating a disturbance at SciLab, Lan meets either Chaud (in Squad ProtoMan) or Baryl (in Team Colonel), who recruit him to begin forming an elite squad of NetNavis to fight confronting Nebula's command. In a series of scenarios identical between games, Lan meets up with other powerful NetNavi operators and recruits them; Team ProtoMan grows to consist of Magnet Man, Gyro Homo, Napalm Human being, Search Man, and Meddy, while Team Colonel consists of Knight Homo, Shadow Human being, Tomahawk Man, Number Homo, and Toad Man. Through the team's efforts, the Net is liberated area by area and peace gets restored. However, the occupation of the Net was a diversion by Nebula while they searched for "The Hikari Report", a research project by Lan's grandfather Dr. Hikari.

Starting with a clue from an encrypted bulletin on Yuichiro's lab estimator, Lan and MegaMan.EXE discover digital snapshots of the existent world in the by called VisionBursts which are hidden in the internet. Past piecing together clues left past Dr. Hikari in these areas, they discover he hid the Hikari Study in i of the VisionBursts, but Regal finds it first and claims it. The Hikari Study is explained to exist a enquiry project undertaken by Hikari and Dr. Wily to create SoulNet, an cyberspace network connecting the minds and souls of humans and NetNavis across the world. The two believed SoulNet could bring peace and unity, but were unable to cease their research. Regal intends to unleash Nebula Grey, a program of pure hatred and darkness, upon the completed SoulNet, corrupting all humans and NetNavis in the world. Lan also discovers that Regal is Dr. Wily's son, and the two scientists intended for their children to complete their project.

Lan's team storms Nebula's base and battles through it until Lan confronts Regal in the SoulNet server room. MegaMan.EXE seals Nebula Greyness and the room begins to self-destruct. While the heroes evacuate, Yuichiro stays behind to speak to Majestic well-nigh the research of their fathers. He collapses equally Regal rejects the idea that he could reform, and a vocalism calls out to him and orders SoulServer to overload. In Team ProtoMan the speaker is unseen, while in Team Colonel Dr. Wily enters the room and gives the command. Lan narrates that an unknown figure saved his father from the destruction of Nebula's base, and Yuichiro calls the group to SciLab to run across Dr. Imperial, who has had many of his memories erased by SoulServer and is at present a peaceful scientist. Lan's friends and NetNavis visit the VisionBurst of the ACDC Town of the past as Yuichiro speaks to Lan and MegaMan.EXE about the hope for another globe passed downwards through the generations that they will one twenty-four hour period comport with them.

Characters [edit]

The membership of the liberation squad differs between the ii versions of Mega Man Boxing Network 5. Recruiting each member involves largely similar challenges and each character fills a sure part on the team, but the motivations and in-game abilities of each character are sometimes quite different.^[4]

In both games, the liberation squad is led by an experienced official Netbattler, with a NetNavi with a sword for an arm. In Team ProtoMan, the team is led by Electopian official Netbattler Chaud, Lan's recurring rival and operator of the swordsman NetNavi ProtoMan.EXE. His equivalent in Team Colonel is the new character Baryl, a Netopian official visiting Lan's home country of Electopia. Baryl is the operator of Colonel.EXE, a NetNavi who can adapt any fleck to connect to his arm and conform whatever object to fight as a soldier for him.

Lan explores an abandoned mine in Squad ProtoMan.

The first addition to the squad is a NetNavi returning from Mega Human being Battle Network ii, one who can protect the residuum of the team from attacks. This second operator is drilling in an abandoned mine on Oran Isle, and unknowingly endangering Lan'due south vacationing friends. In Team ProtoMan, it is Tesla Magnus, who has inherited MagnetMan.EXE from her Gospel agent male parent, Gauss Magnus. In Team Colonel, information technology is Princess Pride, operator of KnightMan.EXE, who has turned over a new foliage since the events of Battle Network 2.

The leader of the liberation squad then hires a gratuitous agent to join the team, only this free agent insists on testing Lan and MegaMan at length, forcing them to overcome a serial of challenges. In Squad ProtoMan, this free agent is series newcomer Charlie Airstar, a Netopian helicopter airplane pilot, and his active NetNavi, GyroMan.EXE. In Squad Colonel, this is former Gospel agent (now revealed to be a mercenary) Dusk and his ninja-like NetNavi, ShadowMan.EXE.

The next member of the team is recruited when Lan foils his plot to steal Ubercorp'due south booster system, a system that amplifies a NetNavi's effectiveness a thousandfold, from aboard the cruise transport Queen Bohemia. In Team ProtoMan, this is fireworks maker Fyrefox and former Solo-NetNavi NapalmMan.EXE, and in Team Colonel this is Netopian Native American Dingo, operator of TomahawkMan.EXE. Both of them go aboard the ship past being hired on to offering the passengers Netbattles for entertainment, just they have different motivations: Fyrefox wants to brand more-spectacular fireworks, while Dingo wants revenge for the production of the booster arrangement, which ruined the livelihoods of many in his habitation community.

The next fellow member of the team is brought on to crevice the security systems of Yuichiro's reckoner, in an endeavor to observe what he was working on when he was kidnapped. A wedge is initially driven between this member of the squad when imposters from Nebula disguise themselves equally MegaMan and this member'south NetNavi fool them into thinking that the other is an agent of Nebula. Once they realize their error, they team upwards and defeat the Nebula imposters. In Team ProtoMan, Lan and MegaMan are suspicious of the close-lipped nature of Sharo soldier Raika and his military machine-minded NetNavi SearchMan.EXE, while in Squad Colonel they are suspicious of how desperate shopkeeper and Higsby, operator of NumberMan.EXE and former amanuensis of the evil organization WWW, is to join the team.

The last fellow member of the team forces herself onto the team, in order to accomplish her own goals. In doing so, however, she accidentally gets ProtoMan.EXE (or Colonel, depending on the version) captured and corrupted by Nebula, and the team must confront and rescue him. In Squad ProtoMan, this is serial newcomer Jasmine, operator of medic-themed NetNavi Meddy.EXE, and she seeks to detect a medical book hidden on the Undernet to cure her grandpa. In Squad Colonel, this is DNN reporter Ribitta, owner of ToadMan.EXE, and she seeks to deduce the identities of Team Colonel.
