Four years ago from this day, a ragtag bunch of Mega Man Battle Network fans decided to devise their own take on the future of MMBN and started up a fangame project. That project came to be known as MMBN Chrono X, and is still going strong today. The recently released demo version 4.0.1 adds the second chapter and Navi Customizer to the game.
Chinese indie developers Onipunks have launched a Kickstarter campaign for their new PC/Mac/Linux/Android game C-Wars. The game revolves around strategic real-time combat on a rectangular grid of blue and red tiles. Sounds familiar? It should: it’s similar to the basis for Mega Man Battle Network’s battle system. If you’re a big MMBN fan, you may like this game.
According to the developers, C-Wars was inspired by games such as Super Robot Taisen, Fallout and Call of Duty, not MMBN. Furthermore, the FAQ on the game’s site also notes several major differences with Mega Man Battle Network.
Speedrunning group TheSpeedGamers has successfully hit their goal for their 72-hour Mega Man Marathon, raising a grand total of $11,860 for charity. After some technical issues in the first day, they made a great comeback thanks to various auctions, smashing their $10,000 goal and extending the marathon another full 24 hours. All money raised will go to Rocking H Ranch where it will be split up across multiple charities.
I was sent this video by a TREZ reader earlier. It is a trailer for a mobile game being released.
The actual bulk of video isn’t important. Skip to the end of the video where the title appears. You’ll notice that this “Flying Jet Robot” character looks very similar to MegaMan EXE. This isn’t the first time a mobile game has blatantly taken an existing character being passed off as original, but I think this is the first directly involving the Battle Network series.
Thanks to a regular TREZ reader for sending this in.
In just 10 days, on the 8th of March, TheSpeedGamers are going at it again with a 72-hour Mega Man Marathon: in just three days, they will be playing through a grand total of 27 Mega Man games, among which Battle Network 1, to raise money and awareness for the Rocking H Ranch and connected charities.
MegaDudes Productions, the team behind the popular Battle Network fangame MMBN: Chrono X have just released the game’s 4th demo! The game is brimming with new content such as chips, enemies, bosses and a completely original storyline. The 4th demo contains roughly 6 hours of content and runs on the PC. We’ve already played a bit of the game and were thoroughly impressed with how faithful it is to the original Battle Network games.
It’s mid-December, and we all know that means it’s time for the annual TREZ Winter Festival! The TREZ Winter Festival is a yearly events with lots of streams, tournaments and contests.

After a delay, Rockman Xover is finally available on the Japanese iTunes App Store for iPod, iPhone and iPad. The game requires iOS 4.1 to run and is free to download; however, game currency can be bought via in-app purchases, which requires an internet connection. For the time being, it is unknown whether Xover will be coming stateside.

After a brief service interruption, TREZ’s home page is now back up and functioning. Thanks to long-time member Mgamerz, we now have a new host for the site. As the Legacy project has been cancelled recently, the references to it have been removed. You’ll also notice the features panel below now features the Rockman EXE WS Translation project, as it is now a major piece of content for the site.
Please report any issues and we’ll have them fixed as soon as possible.
Following high fan demand, SuperSweep, the company that produced the music for Mega Man Network Transmission, has announced Game Music Discovery Series: Rockman EXE Transmission Soundtrack, a music album with all those catchy tunes from Rockman EXE Transmission, known in the West as Mega Man Network Transmission. MMNT’s music has been available in the form of a gamerip for some time, but this is the first time it will be sold as an actual album.
