The BattleChip Gate (バトルチップゲート) is the first add-on peripheral for the Battle Network series. You are able to send BattleChips you purchased and use them in select games.

The BCG works for the following games: Mega Man Battle Network 4 (Red Sun and Blue Moon), Rockman EXE 4.5 Real Operation, and Mega Man Zero 3. While the BCG was only released in Japan, it will work on any international copies of these games.
