Furthermore, the game would appear not on the Game Boy Advance, but the far more powerful Nintendo DS, creating a buzz of anticipation amongst Blue Bomber loyalists. This new series, starring a character named Geo Stelar, would take place hundreds of years after the events of Battle Network, and would retain an RPG style while assumedly walking away from the redundancy of the Battle Network series. There was great excitement, then, when Capcom announced it was going to walk away from the Battle Network series to try their hand at a completely new and different Mega Man RPG. The innovative qualities that got Battle Network into the homes of so many gamers had disappeared like smoke up the chimney, and for one reason only - the series refused to change.

Capcom released a total of six installments of the series (the latter releases were split into 'editions' much like the Pokemon series), but the series was gaining few new fans while retaining only the most hardcore Battle Networkers.

While there was little doubt there could be many better ideas than crossing the Mega Man series with an RPG environment, the series was overdone, and by the fourth installment, the series found itself tired and without steam. They stumbled upon a great formula with the first three titles in the series (which crescendo in quality much like the original series did with the first three titles), but quickly overdid it. Sadly, it only took Capcom a handful of years to beat the Battle Network series into the ground.
