About Mega Man Battle Network 3
Mega Man Battle Network 3 is a role-playing game in Capcom's Battle Network series, released in 2002 for the Game Boy Advance. It blends real-time strategy with RPG battles: you play as Lan Hikari and his NetNavi MegaMan.EXE, who battle viruses in a cyberspace grid by playing cards called Battle Chips. The battle system is fast and tactical — you move on a 3x3 grid, use chips with elemental and effect types, and combine them for powerful program advances. The story follows Lan and MegaMan as they uncover the crimes of the criminal organization WWW, with an engaging plot full of twists. The game is beloved for its deep customization: you build a folder of chips and a style system that evolves your Navi's powers. It is considered one of the best entries in the series and a cult classic of GBA RPGs.
