MegaMan Battle Network 3 White Version is one of those GBA gems that still holds up. You play as Lan and his NetNavi MegaMan, diving into a mix of real-world exploration and grid-based battles where you sling chips like a deckbuilder on caffeine. The White Version has some exclusive chips and a different endgame boss compared to Blue—GutsMan’s cross is brutal but satisfying to crack.

First 10 minutes? You’re already thrown into jacking into school computers and fighting off viruses with that signature Battle Network rhythm: dodging on a 6x3 grid while your custom chip loadout does the heavy lifting. The art style pops even now, and the soundtrack’s got those crunchy synth beats that stick in your head. If you missed this era of MegaMan, it’s like Pokémon but with more hacking and less tall grass.

Just don’t expect the internet to make sense—it’s all floating blocks and random encounters, but somehow that’s part of the charm.
