Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced the release of Mega Man Battle Network 4 in two versions- Red Sun and Blue Moon for the Game Boy Advance video game system. Each version presents many challenges for players as they encounter different enemies, battle chips, souls and characters. A Game Link Cable can be used for competitive gameplay and battle chip exchanges. Mega Man Battle Network 4 Red Sun and Mega Man Battle Network 4 Blue Moon are now available at retailers across North America and carry an "E" rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).

The Battle Network series features a school boy named Lan and his friend, Mega Man.EXE in their adventures to rid the net of viruses and other cyber world enemies. Players experience varied environments as they traverse the real world with Lan and navigate the virtual realm with Mega Man in action packed battles.

Unlike previous games in the Battle Network series, the main focus of Mega Man Battle Network 4 is a tournament system where players will encounter a variety of cyber enemies that must be defeated. A new "Soul Unison" system is introduced for these two games. During the game, some of the souls of those which have fought with Mega Man will "synch up" with his during battle. When this happens, Mega Man will be able to transform and use the special abilities of these souls during battle.

Players must be careful though, as there are forces of good and evil pulling at them throughout the game. In contrast to the "Soul Unison" system, there is a "Dark Soul" system in place. At times when Mega Man is in a pinch, a powerful and attractive "Dark Chip" will appear to tempt him. The more times these chips are used, Mega Man's Net-Navi will become more affected by evil and consequences will occur, including the inability to perform vital "Soul Unisons."

Mega Man Battle Network 4 includes the following features:
