Play MegaMan Battle Network 5 - Team Protoman (E)(Rising Sun) Online

MegaMan Battle Network 5: Team Protoman is the one where you finally get to call the shots—not just as MegaMan, but with a whole crew of NetNavis backing you up. Protoman’s your right-hand man here, which is great because he’s way cooler than I ever was at dodging attacks. The Liberation Missions are the real game-changer: instead of just blasting through random battles, you’re actually clearing infected zones on a timer, moving your team strategically like some kind of cyber-warfare chess match.

It’s got that same satisfying chip-combo system from earlier games, but now you’ve got allies tossing in their own attacks mid-fight. And yeah, if you played Team Colonel, this version mixes things up with different Navis and scenarios—I spent way too long trying to recruit everyone. The pixel art still looks sharp, and the soundtrack’s got those crunchy synth beats that make even menu navigation feel intense. Definitely one of the stronger entries in the series.
