It's Battle Network 3. Best post-game content of any Mega Man game.

Great story, imo it perfected their card battle system and the art style was amazing

Either Zero 2 or 3. 2 has the better main stages and weapons, but Zero 3 has the craziest endgame this side of X5.

Probably Mega Man Zero 2, the most well-balanced and challenging game in the Zero series.
I really need to go back and play this. I've had the game since I was a child and I still haven't beaten it.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
This right here, it might even be my favorite Mega Man game.

Zero 2 or 3, with 3 slightly edging out 2. 2 is still great, though.
Interesting to see Battle Network 3 get so much hype. Makes me want to seek it out and see what all the hubbub is about.

Mega Man Zero 2. It's a brutal, if incredibly polished follow-up to what was already a standout Mega Man title. It also has one of the few soundtracks on the GameBoy Advance that don't sound terrible when listening to it today, an honor it shares with Bionicle Heroes and the Fire Emblem titles.
Anyone who says it's a Battle Network game is lying to you.

Never played any Zero games, but Battle Network 3 is a legit title.
Zero 3 or Battle Network 6. Can't go wrong with either series though, except for BN1.

first post knows whats up. I really liked zero 2
imo its a damn near "perfect" game. They made a pretty great battle system in 1 and the story was alright, 2 was pretty good for a continuation of 1 and then 3 basically perfects the battle system, makes the story super good, has an insane post game and overall just did a lot to make the whole series better. 4 & 5 were no good really but 6 almost hit BN3 levels, it got pretty close and it had a very good ending for the series.
Yep. Though, if not 3 then most say 6.

Choosing between Battle Network 3 and Zero 3 is some impossible shit.

It's a tie between Battle Network 3 and Zero 3 depending on preferences.

I see there are two versions for 3. Are there any major differences?
Not really. Blue has a tiny bit more content iirc but nothing that matters
Get Blue, the only reason we got both is because in Japan Blue was the newer version that fixed some issues with the game.

The Game Boy Advance's sound chip is awful and so are most of the soundtracks on the system.

I'll always love Battle Network 2 most because it was my first one, but 3 was really good. Those games were some of my favorites on the GBA period.
There's some rweaks like stated before. Though the largest differece is that each version has its own set of 5 "Giga" class cards. One of those cards lets you reser your entire deck to reuse and can be a godsend when doing postgame.

Battle network 6 or Zero 3

Eh, really? With mandatory trading to complete the single-player, it's a big flaw you can't do everything on your own. And the version differences are insignificant. Library bloat is another thing...
Though unpopular, Battle Network 4 really has the most rewarding multiplayer. Aside from more obvious differences, being able to fight all bosses exclusive to both versions make the games feel more complete.

Uhh well do you like platformers or RPGs? The two series (Zero and Battle Network) aren't very comparable.
As for the 4 Zero games, they're all pretty similar. 2 and 3 are generally considered the best, since 2 has the best level design while 3 is the most polished and has the most fun equipment system. However, 1 is actually my personal favorite, since I like the bosses more and that's the core of the game. 1's final boss is still my favorite final boss in a video game -- really fun fight.

Battle Network 3 is the Megaman 2 of the BN series. Everybody sings higher praises than the game deserves since it's damn good but most people haven't played recently. That and a lot of people stopped playing after 3 or 4 and go off others opinions on 4-5.

Is required had played previous battle network games to enjoy it?
I played through 3 again about 6 months ago, 5 a few months before that, and both 2 and 6 about a year ago, 3's still the best one imo.
