Mega Man Battle Network (known in Japan as [b]Rockman EXE[/b]) is a spin off series of [[Mega Man (series)|]] set in the year 200x.  The series spans six games across the [[game boy advance|Gameboy Advance]] (with Mega Man Battle Network 5 also appearing on the [[Nintendo DS]]).  Players control Lan Hikari outside of the game's net world.  When it's time to jack into the net and bust [[virus (mega man)|viruses]], Lan can do so by using his [[NetNavi]] MegaMan.EXE contained in a device called the PET ([[Personal Terminal]]).

Much of the gameplay resembles older Mega Man games as players can defeat bosses and viruses to acquire their "Chip" data and use them as attacks as they see fit.  While in the net world, players will control MegaMan.EXE while busting viruses and protecting the web from villains ranging from the classic [[Lord Wily (mega man)|Wily]] to hellbent corporations such as Gospel, along with new faces such as [[Dr. Regal (mega man)|]].

After the series' sixth and final game, the Mega Man metaseries developed yet another spin off game in the form of [[Mega Man Star Force]].
