Mega Man Network Transmission

Mega Man Network Transmission is an action-platformer and role-playing game developed by Arika and published by Capcom for the Nintendo GameCube. Set one month after the events of the original Mega Man Battle Network, the story follows Lan Hikari and his NetNavi, MegaMan.EXE, as they investigate a mysterious and destructive computer virus known as the Zero Virus that is infecting NetNavis across the internet. Blending traditional 2D side-scrolling platform action with the deck-building and battle chip mechanics of the GBA series, the game challenges players to navigate virus-infested networks, battle corrupted Navis like FireMan.EXE, and uncover the truth behind a faulty vaccine. Released in March 2003 in Japan and later that year in North America and PAL regions, it offers a unique console-based crossover of platforming and RPG gameplay.
