Internet

The Internet (インターネット), Net for short, is a great network connecting computer terminals around the world. In the Mega Man Battle Network series, the rapid development of the Internet has made it more convenient in the year 200X, thanks to the research made by Dr. Hikari, which was continued by his son. However, network crime has also increased, with organization like World Three, Gospel and Nebula taking advange of it, and organizations like the NetPolice and Official Center working to counter it. The internet's cyberworld is habited by programs such as NetNavis, Mr. Progs, and viruses.

By the year 22XX, the internet no longer exists, data being transfered as EM Waves in the Wave World, but the cyberworld still exists.

As a location


The Internet is a recurring location in the Mega Man Battle Network series. In the first Mega Man Battle Network game and Rockman.EXE 4.5 Real Operation, the main virtual areas are only refered as Internet. It is like a digital maze in the first game, but in the second game it was improved, being divided by areas (like ACDC Area) and making navigation easier, and also introduced Squares, safe Internet areas where NetNavis gather to chat and make trades, being like a city for NetNavis.

Other media
Internet appeared in the MegaMan NT Warrior anime series, the MegaMan NT Warrior manga, and in Battle Story MegaMan NT Warrior.
