The Mega Man games are now in the midst of celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Mega Man Battle Network franchise, and Capcom is going all out for the fan favorite series by even bringing back the original Mega Man Battle Network manga for a new chapter set 20 years after the original series came to an end! While the Mega Man games are some of the most played and widely known in action video game history, the Mega Man Battle Network era of the franchise is special in its own way with many fans growing up during a certain generation.
