Mega Man Battle Network (Series) Unused Content! | LOST BITS [TetraBitGaming]

[@TetraBitGaming]

I realize this series is a bit more niche, so LIKES and COMMENTS are extra appreciated to help with the algorithm 🙏 Thanks for watching!

[@SMG2125_]

First ;D

[@P6FAN]

Make a video counter strike source

[@jesmilrojasgarcia1899]

Next Unused Content in Papa Louie

[@krisplays2543]

Please do more pizza tower

[@TetraBitGaming]

I think I'm done with Pizza Tower for a while lol

[@spicysquire3521]

I'm glad battle network is getting more attention these days bc of the collection, it's almost trippy to see all these videos when I'm used to nobody talking about the series lol

[@NetBattler]

The anime also getting more attention!

[@maccamachine]

It’s crazy seeing it making a comeback but really cool any megaman getting some love is fine with me

[@DETahaX]

@@maccamachine I totally agree, but I still wish X could get some real love. DiVE does not count, X8 was almost 20 years ago, MMX Corrupted still has 10 years to go before we might get a hint of its completion. The only kind of win we've gotten recently so far is MMX Innocent Impulse. Seriously though.. what is Capcom smoking?..

[@Xanit]

I'm pretty sure Capcom has been paying people off to focus on Resident Evil and Battle Network around their release dates. People wouldn't normally be so coordinated to the release dates.

[@TetraBitGaming]

People releasing content around game releases isn't anything new lmao

[@FireallyXTheories]

8:22 that actually IS used in BN3. If you jack out right before fighting Bubbleman, you can see the bubble turned red which was some incredible attention to detail!

[@inconemay1441]

1:44 WoodMan's wooden spikes also suspiciously look like pencils, and the scenario could have been tied to the offscreen obtained Wood Program

[@hubhikarilives]

Being a MMBN fan for the past 20 years, it’s been the coolest to see the series back in the public eye. Thank you for this video!!

[@danaikarnarou-witkamp9921]

YOOOO!!! The madman actually did it! It's been one of my wildest dreams to see you make content about mmbn for years and now you have finally found the perfect opportunity to do so after the release of the Legacy Collection! Thank you so so much for putting this out for us longtime fans as well as people who may be interrested to give this series a chance! Also pretty "pretty mid" is a huge understatement for BN4 lmao

[@braumishere4890]

I may be wrong, but I could swear that Punk Man in MMBN 3 actually has that move you mentioned. Probably when you fight him again after he gets to low health.

[@anthonynguyen1289]

I also remember seeing something like that as BN3 was my childhood game that I played a lot. I didn’t own the others or get to play them until way later. I don’t think I’m confusing the attack with another navi either

[@necprime177]

Not a zigzag one though

[@MalikM-VGM-Rand]

It's in the game. It can be seen via the useable Punk Chip if your HP is low. (Or if you get an item from the lottery thing, it'll just straight up do it)

[@zernek9199]

I remember a comment I made from what's probably over a year ago now saying I noticed all of your Battle Network music choices, and you replied saying you've been wanting to make a video about it but were unsure on both the topic and its performance because of the youtube algorithm. I'm so glad you were finally able to make a video about it, and I hope this video performs well! Here's to you getting more people into Megaman Battle Network!

[@TetraBitGaming]

Thanks for sticking around since then!

[@LadyTsunade777]

I'm surprised there's _any_ unused content still in the games' final builds (extra images, sprites, chips, animations, etc.), considering just how pressed for space they were when making the games. The change in art style from the more detailed 1-3 to the smaller and less detailed in 4-6 was due to needing to save data to fit on carts, and the most obvious one is how they cut nearly all the post-game out of 6 because the English/international translations took up so much more space than the original Japanese. (and even in Japanese there was still a lot of limited and cut content in 6)

[@lowpolysunrise]

This channel really gets me interested in games I had never been before, and that is so crazy. Every new video is so exciting!

[@TetraBitGaming]

Appreciate the interest!

[@RunstarHomer]

Battle Network is phenomenal, there's nothing else quite like it. If you do decide to get into it, two tips: Don't start with games 1 or 4, and if possible get a friend to play the opposite version so you have someone to battle and trade with

[@douglasthequilava]

I friggin LOVE the Battle Network games. And i’m hoping that we’ll see a Star Force Lost Bits video once that series gets its legacy collection… IF it gets one

[@TetraBitGaming]

I've honestly still not played through those games yet 😅 Just put a few hours into the first Star Force back in the day

[@douglasthequilava]

@@TetraBitGaming Star Force 1 was my first ever MegaMan game. Specifically the Leo version. I’ve been playing the DX hack as of late to get the definitive SF1 experience

[@akesan2374]

​@@TetraBitGaming Just as a warning, Star Force 2 sucks so it's completely understandable if you skip it

[@douglasthequilava]

@@akesan2374 honestly i skipped SF2 only because i never could find a copy of it. I had SF3 Black Ace. Absolute best Star Force game i played

[@akesan2374]

@@douglasthequilava Yeah, SF3 is absolutely amazing, but sadly SF2 isn't really good, the encounter rate is too high the story isn't good, there's no real dungeons cause the bosses just use areas of the Wave World with their gimmick added, etc

[@rollflasher89]

This was so interesting. And just like other comments, I'm very glad that Battle Network has seen a resurge in popularity thanks to the new collections, my feed has been flooded with videos about the series and that's probably one of the best things that could happen to it in years.

[@biomedalmodelc3506]

So glad you did an episode of this series finally. It's one of my favorites too!😊

[@TetraBitGaming]

Awesome 😎👍🏻

[@Alcadria]

The maid NPC is actually used in Starforce, so it was interesting to see she was a leftover from Battle Network 6. Makes me wonder how many unused things from BN6 that were eventually recycled for Starforce.

I'm so glad of the huge amount of BN content there is on YT since the BNLC was released, it feels unreal

[@trigs7127]

I know all of these, out of thirst to squeeze anything out of the games. But I can't avoid seeing these videos. As always, good work!

[@TetraBitGaming]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

[@retrospect]

Love Battle Network! Really happy to see it getting coverage

[@Drawceress]

I have been a fan of battle network since I was a kid when I watched my older sibling play BN5 in the ds. But about a year ago, I became utterly obsessed with the franchise thanks to open netbattle, which is built to make mods easy to make and even has online pvp. I've made full sprite sheets for both battle and the overworld for a GalaxyMan.EXE, and slowly putting together my own fangame that links the StarForce and Battle Network series together a bit better. I still have a long way to go, but I'm stubborn enough to at least get a playable demo myself one day.

[@hennyzhi2261]

Glad to see the series get another shot at relevance again - been playing MMBN3 on the legacy collection on/off to relive my childhood.

[@TetraBitGaming]

Hell yeah 👍🏻

[@wojtasgamer1816]

I love watching lost bits on games i have never seen before, and just having no idea what's going on

[@TetraBitGaming]

🙏

[@damienearl8302]

Oh, same! I watch a lot of these types of videos on games I've never even heard about before, but even when I do, it's still always just as interesting!

[@douglasbrzeski668]

I always thought these were so much more fun than Pokémon when I was a gameboy kid. I'm glad this series got a nice collection and everything and it's getting some love these days.

[@colinledoux7836]

You can actually get Bass cross form in battle network 5 but only on double team DS. In order to get it you to have defeated Bass on either Team Protoman or Team Colonel GBA then insert either Team Protoman or Team Colonel into the GBA slot with the Bass icon on the title screen then load up your save file and you'll get Bass cross form.

[@goranisacson2502]

On the one hand, I do love seeing videos about Mega Man in any form... but being reminded of how much more they wanted to do with these games only to have space issues still hurts me to this day :(

[@oukashiokamii563]

The collection offers everything the Japanese vr had.

[@TetraBitGaming]

Yes

[@tweekexe]

I wanted to see a lost bits based on Battle Network series forever

[@TetraBitGaming]

Haha hope it was worth the wait!

[@X1stence]

Its so nice to see these bits compiled in a video. Awesome job documenting and great video!

[@lolcowexterminationservices]

Never in my wildest dreams did I think MMBN would see a resurgence like this. I hope Capcom is paying attention and thinks of something to fill this niche in again lol.

[@huyphan7825]

There's a parallel world where Battle Network was a billion dollar success franchise and that dummied out BN1 town become a creepypasta sensation. WHERE ARE LAN?

[@ItJustSomeGuy7]

My first entry in to the Battle Network series was Team Colonel. I was used to the MMX series at the time and thought that it was cool how you befriend the navi to get their powers instead of killing them like how X would. But I have to say, the Cybeast ones is my all time favorite, they fixed the soul system so that you can choose instead of having to beg RNG to give you the chip needed to fuse.

[@batmabel]

Awesome vid! So happy to see this series getting attention again.

[@TetraBitGaming]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheCrazyhusky]

FINALLY!! Took you long enough, you've been using the MBN music as outro music for years, I'm happy you got round to doing it. In the originals of MBN5 and MBN6 e-reader and some cross over does go unused, in MBN6 parts of the net were removed but restored in the MBN Collection

[@TetraBitGaming]

Yeah those were Japan exclusive parts of the game originally!

[@TheCrazyhusky]

@@TetraBitGaming True but they go unused in the NA version would have been nice to mention. Also those Orange/Yellow outline Panels you didn't know what they were, They are danger titles, In MBN1 panels change to yellow when foes use attacks on those panels, a warning to the player to not step on them, something to help the player. It's most notiable when you fight FireMan and he uses the Fire-arm attack. its not really seen in outside Battle Network 1, so in later games the orange/yellow panels could just be carry overs, done to keep everything consistant across games but go unused for the most part. Though I think its in other Battle Network games when you fight Bass and he uses energy sparks that goes across the screen but could be mis-remembering it.

[@DarkNia64]

It's nice to see this series finally getting the attention it deserves.

[@devilishjester7718]

Been waiting for this ever since i noticed how much you use battle network music in your videos, really cool to finally see it happening. Now just need to wait for the shantae episode...

[@Majokodomo]

8:18 I love how you positioned the bubble graphic so that Lan would always be in it! ^o^

[@possumorb3770]

Kinda funny how DuoSoul is just a Met. Knowing what Duo looks like, it's kind of ironic.

[@matthewfischer3128]

Played 2 and 3. Really brought me to reality when you said the MMBN series ended about 17 years ago 😢

[@SmashBros2009]

Woohoo, the MMBN series unused content is finally here!

[@Keshin4539]

Doing my due diligence and leaving a Like and Comment. Battle Network was very niche where I am from, so seeing anything Beta or hidden is super cool! Thanks for this!

[@TetraBitGaming]

Thank you for watching!

[@gluttonousgoddess]

Man, I remember my first BN game. BN3 was a game my neighbor had and let me play for a bit.

[@raynegallaher7661]

I presume Moltanicman would be a product of Capcom remembering Napalmman's main series incarnation and how the reception for him in Europe was not so great.

[@TetraBitGaming]

I'm interested to hear more about this, what happened?

[@werti4894]

holy crap that judge man scrapped attack is SO COOL

[@NintendoSamurai]

Battle Network 3 Blue was my very first foray into the battle network series, and it is SO GOOD. I will eventually play them all, but honestly a good series. Great music to use for your videos I'd say.

[@adz3d]

In the final battle of BN5 if you use a noclip cheat and talk to the other Navis you can't normally reach they all display a Japanese text that will loop and then crash your game.

[@TetraBitGaming]

Lmao thats pretty funny

[@AT7outof10]

Why does that unused Chip art give Megaman some serious curve game!?! My boy downloaded himself some wide birthing hips. lol

[@DETahaX]

Jack in! Did you know? Ethernet's connector; RJ-45 means "Registered Jack 45". So, "Jack in!" makes a lot of sense.

[@cyanamespace]

i haven’t even played these games. i just like watching you talk about unused stuff in video games. been watching for years now and i love your videos 👍 keep up the good work man.

[@maverickhunter6869]

Was not expecting to see a video like this. Both lost content and MMBN, I love it when my interests align!

[@TayoEXE]

5:04 BN2 was my entry into the series back in 2002 as well! Complete with the same GBA featured here. It's been my inspiration to this day for my line of work.

[@TetraBitGaming]

Hell yeah, that's awesome

[@gregoryhayes7569]

4:14: Both of these are graphics that change over the course of the game (the park pond gets drained, and the shop gets remodeled).

[@hunterzx7741]

I think the “C-“ on the C-Guard and C-Reflect may be meant to look like a leftward facing arrow because of the left and B button you have to press to normally use a shield or reflect

[@TetraBitGaming]

Ah, that would make sense!

[@vanguardchristi1370]

Okay I find it odd, my old copy of BN3 Blue actually has Punk use the zig-zag attack.

[@TheGreatOne93]

Yeah I remember him doing that in my old game too

[@SilentRealm6677]

Well operation shooting star has unused stuff as well like title theme from first game closer to original version

[@mortalx9941]

i love this type of videos they are as perfect as the P rank in pizza tower

[@TetraBitGaming]

😂 thank you!

[@giwifruit5032]

The reason why battle network games seemed not to have a lot is missing content was because of memory issues,these games were supposed to be way longer.

[@TetraBitGaming]

Yeah, I had no idea they changed the graphics in BN4 to save on space lol

[@giwifruit5032]

@@TetraBitGaming They had to cut so much because the script took up so much space that they had to find any way to free up space, sadly and unused content and even battle sprites had to be cut

[@LanHikariDS]

Max Mode from Battle Netowrk 1 is used, for the record. If a multiplayer netbattle drags on for too long, this graphic appears at the start of a turn, and both players' buster stats are maxed out to 5/5/5 for the remainder of the battle

[@TetraBitGaming]

Good to know, I'll edit it out of the video

[@LanHikariDS]

@@TetraBitGaming I'd removed it from the BN1 TCRF page about a year ago, but I guess some other sites still have it listed... or you started writing this video over a year ago :P

[@TetraBitGaming]

I usually try to cross reference several sites to make sure stuff is accurate, but looks that backfired in this case 😅

[@LanHikariDS]

@@TetraBitGaming Also, you may have misinterpreted the Mr. Prog bit in BN1. The sitting sprite isn't unused regarding their normal palette, it's just that there's an unused set of sprites that use a different palette. The standard Mr. Progs do sit during the FireMan scenario, and maybe even during the ElecMan scenario, but I don't remember that one as well.

[@TetraBitGaming]

Are they animated? The TCRF page mentions an "unused sitting animation"

[@bayzul7405]

I wouldve loved poking DS5 MegaMan. Happy the in depth coverage Battle Network vs whats often popular to chase

[@bigtacotime4382]

feels weird to see the mmbn6 section without the boktai scenario because we can do it now

[@soundspark]

The pink bubbles in BN3 don't get used because they are said turn red at the moment you confront BubbleMan.

[@brianli6562]

There are actually stuff that were used that you mentionned. Those being the side to side rolling attack of Punk. He does use it. And the Maid in bn6 I believe she is the one in seaside town who holds a password for the undernet unless the sprite is different which is my bad then.

[@danaikarnarou-witkamp9921]

Yeah! It is indeed the same maid at the stuffed toy shop in Seaside

[@TetraBitGaming]

Yeah for Punk, there is an unused diagonal move, but it's not like how I showed in the footage! Sorry for the confusion!

[@brianli6562]

@@TetraBitGaming oh ok. Makes more sense.

[@DragoonMS]

My entry into the Battle Network series was Battle Network 3, when a girl I was dating at the time got me Battle Network 3 Blue since she got herself Battle Network 3 White. (And a couple years later, she would get me Battle Network 5 Team Colonel) That said, though, my favorite of the bunch has to be Battle Network 2, as it's got the almost cheesiest deck in the game that I call "Cheez-It". Nothing too complicated, just taking advantage of Tornadoes, Blowers, etc.

[@LanEXHikari]

Really loving this episode, it reminded me those times when we used to fiddle with the assets and sprites of the games 👾

[@ryudragon7]

As soon as I can find a copy of the legacy collection in stock, I very much look forward to replaying 3-6, as well as playing the first two for the first time.

[@Fakenamedidiot]

Strange, i thought punks attack going up and down the stage was a normal thing already in the game. I might be remembering things wrongs since it's been a while since I've played it

[@TetraBitGaming]

So it's unlike what I showed. It's an unused pattern where he goes diagonally like the AirHoc chip rather than the wave like pattern as shown. Sorry for the confusion!

[@NaitsirhcCheck]

I only got to play the first or second one when I was a kid. I am so excited to play this collection. In my cart right now.

Man Megaman is quite a bit leaner in cut content than id expect. IDK why but I was expecting like more dummy data that were holdovers from the last game or characters considered for the game with sprits but got cut. Most of these seem to be 11th hour cuts

[@sirwolfy9372]

BN1 This MegaBuster chip maybe was a default chip that has cooldown so people use it as it is full since in the main game the only way to use the charge shot was to upgrade the buster once and doing pitfull damage... maybe it was the precursor of the charge shots of the styles elements since you have the element armours and maybe it was meant to be changed but got scrapped due to space limitations.. BN2 I think the debug feat the slowdown slrint was a anti piracy method unused since the real ant piracy method was to have a rndm enc every step BN3 It has the most unused content since that even the developers said from interviews of BN4 that they made it more chibi and with black outlines to save memory space and BN3 was meant to have much more content.

[@Diedeux]

Thank you, I love the Woodman Sprites!

[@Desieaglefym]

That buster battle chip would have been nice if it was an auto charge shot chip but for the newer titles with more buster support...

[@twophan]

Wait, the sitting prog is an unused sprite? I swear I saw it during my replay in legacy MMBN1, maybe in the fire computer, or the scenario where they turn evil?
