Lan and his friends must storm the Dark Chip Factory and put a stop to this problem before it becomes any worse.
The game uses an RPG style over-world in which Lan and Mega Man navigate and interact.
In the real world, you control Lan, and can interact with objects and talk to people.
When you need to enter cyberspace, you 'jack-in', and take control of Mega Man.
Mega Man must also battle viruses in addition to navigating through the internet.
This is done with a combination of action and turn-based battle, where you select powerful chips to give you an edge each turn, then use the chips and dodge shots in realtime.
The game also features Liberation Missions, which are a more traditional turn-based style of play.
In this mode, you must 'liberate' dark tiles on your way to confront the boss.
Liberation Missions play somewhat like a complicated game of chess, with the player actually fighting the battles between the pieces.
Unique to this version of the game is the ability to play as Protoman partway through the story.
The game can also link up to Mega Man Battle Network 5: Team Colonel to trade and complete your battle chip collection - certain chips are only available in one version of the game.
About Game Boy Advance
Nintendo's Game Boy Advance (2001) offered near-SNES-level graphics in a handheld and became a home for excellent ports as well as original titles across nearly every genre. GBA cartridges are generally durable and plentiful, making it an approachable platform for new collectors, though a few late-release RPGs and limited exclusives have become genuine chase items.
Gamevaro tracks Mega Man Battle Network 5 for Game Boy Advance with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Mega Man Battle Network 5 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBA release dates back to 2004.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Mega Man Battle Network 5, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Game Boy Advance titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
