January 29, 2004 - Capcom unveils US versions of Red Sun andCapcom gave us a sneak peak at the fourth installment of the highly popular Mega Man Battle Network series yesterday at its 2004 Las Vegas Press Event. The fourth addition to the popular series--which Capcom claims is "giving Pokemon a run for its money"--will be released in two different versions: Red Sun and Blue Moon, each featuring its own unique set of challenges, characters, battle chips and more.
Battle Network 4's new tournament style gameplay will take players on a succession of battles as Lan and Mega Man continue their quest to rid the net of viruses. An innovative new good/evil balance system will tempt players by offering a dangerous "Dark Chip" as an easy way out of a pinch. If players resort to the "Dark Chip" too often they risk being consumed by evil and losing certain abilities.
The two versions of Battle Network 4 feature an unprecedented amount of variety including separate storylines, unique enemy souls (six per game), new tools and battle strategies. Players will be able to link the two versions to trade programs and chips, as well as battle with one another or compare battle records.
Battle Network 4 is scheduled for release this summer around the start of the new season of the popular Mega Man cartoon series. Until then check out our big batch of screens by clicking the media link below.
