Mega Man Battle Network (バトルネットワーク ロックマンエグゼ Batoru Nettowaaku Rokkuman Eguze?, Battle Network Rockman EXE) is the first installment in the battle network series, and the fifth Mega Man saga to be produced. It was released on the Game Boy Advance in 2001 and the Wii U Virtual Console in 2014. It follows a different genre to the other generations, entering into the RPG and collecting game genre, yet still retains the real-time action aspect of the original Mega Man games, now with a digital style. This version of Mega Man reintroduces many of the old mavericks and robots from the classic generations as "navis", such as Proto Man, Roll, and Guts Man.
A remake for the Nintendo DS was released only in Japan called Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star. It added Geo Stelar from the Star Force series, an extra chapter, and improvements to the PET interface.
