The series first game appeared in 2001. The conclusion titles — Mega Man Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar and Cybeast Falzar — released in Japan in November 2005 and the West in June 2006. Capcom and Nintendo also brought the entire series to the Wii U Virtual Console.
In 2020, Capcom expressed interest in celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Battle Network series in 2021. It tried gathering licensing partners to release merchandise related to the franchise both inside and outside Japan. In November 2020, Kotobukiya revealed that it is working on MegaMan.EXE model kits.
