Concerning the Recent Edit Disputes
Okay, from my personal knowledge of this game and its release, it was orignally released in Japan as Rockman EXE 3, without any subtitle. Then, about a year later, an "updated" version was released, dubbed "Black". This version had different Giga chips and also had Punk.EXE available for battle (this is as much as I recall at this moment). It is this latter version, which served as a basis for the US and EU release of Mega Man Battle Network 3 Blue version. So basically, Blue version is an "adaptation" of Rockman EXE 3 Black, as opposed to White version, which is an adaptation of the original Rockman EXE 3 (undubbed). This can be further supported by the fact that Punk.EXE is not in the White version (just like he is not in the original Rockman EXE 3), while he is there in Blue version (just like he is in the Black).

To further attempt to elucidate this stalemate, I have included a few links (I refuse to call them references):

1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man_Battle_Network_3

Here, in the first section, it clearly confirms that there was initially only one version in Japan (although, nothing about the US/EU versions being based on which version).

2)http://www.gamefaqs.com/gba/915457-mega-man-battle-network-3-blue/data

http://www.gamefaqs.com/gba/562255-mega-man-battle-network-3-white/data

Take a close look at the release data for each version in Japan and US. Rockman EXE 3 Black was released almost 4 months after Rockman EXE 3. Also note how Rockman EXE 3 is listed as Japanese equivalent of Mega Man Battle Network White version, while Rockman EXE 3 Black is listed as Japanese equivalent of Blue version.

3)

Lastly, take a look at the screen shots of the game start menues. (Keep in mind that the following is a relatively weak form of support to this issue as it is easily conjecture prone). Bring your attention to the Japanese screens, to the bottom line with the copyright. The tops screen, corresponding to Rockman EXE 3 shows copyright year of 2002. The bottom screen, corresponding to Black version, shows a dual copyright years of 2002 and 2003. This can easily attest to the fact that it was released after the former. The reason why there are two years, instead of just 2003, is most likely the following: 2003, because that is when the game was released; 2002, because that is when the predacesor (Rockman EXE 3), on which this game is heavily based (or to be exact is a modification of), was released.

Ultimately, I support and motion for the recent edit, as I believe it is indeed correct. Please comment as you see fit.
