Fun game! To get the authentic experience, you have to scour online japanese marketplaces for a battle chip gate and give some guy $1000+ USD for his entire battle chip collection. It's just like the games where you have to spend thousands and thousands of zenny for battle chips! Life imitates art.

So much potential in a concept like this. A roguelike where you choose a NetNavi to control. Online functionality, every boss, tons of content. This game is not that. There is a reason this game doesn't give you full control of your Navi but it still isn't as fun (though it often it results in fights being easier). A BN game boiled down to the internet portion with the tried and true time wasters. It's a more shallow experience down to the surprising similarities it shares with mobile games.

Playing this after years of dreaming about it getting fan translated made me feel like patchy the pirate after watching the lost spongebob episode

Honestly pretty dope with the patch to bring back the vanilla Battle Network gameplay. Shoutout to Bass.EXE
