More Megaman

Megaman Battle Networks 3 hasn't been released here in Europe yet, but the Japanese are already discussing the new versions of MMBN3: Black, Blue and White...

It seems that Megaman Battle Networks 3 (aka Rockman EXE 3) will get some different version: Black, Blue and White.

Each title is said to follow the standard level of play found in the first two Battle Network installments, including the turn-based battles and the familiar exploration gameplay, however the player will reportedly be able to fully customize Mega Man using chips from both the Blue, the Black and the White versions.

The screens below are scans from a magazine (name unknown) about the 'Black' version. "The main differences are changes in enemy locations, Meijin (Mr. Famous) appears in the game in place of his apprentice, and you can battle his Navi Punk. Bowlman will replace Mistman in the game. As noted, Bowlman and Mistman were the runner ups in the EXE 3 Navi design contest. And you may have noticed Rockman's interesting look, as the Shadow Style will replace the Ground Style. The Shadow Style is notable for its stealth abilities, like making you invisible when you charge up (reportedly).", according to Heatman from the ,a href="http://www.atn-universe.com/oc/" target="_blank">Official Center.
