ready! Capcom® today announced it will host the first stateside
Mega Man Battle Network® 6 tournament at the Comic-Con
International convention in San Diego later this month. Up to
32 net battlers will participate in a round based elimination
format for a chance to win one of two grand prize Nintendo
DS Lite systems, courtesy of Nintendo of America.
Registration will take place at the show in Capcom's booth
#4145. The tournament will be on Sunday, July 23, from
10:00am-12:00pm, in Room 29 C/D which is upstairs from the
exhibit floor. Comic-Con 2006 will take place at the San Diego
Convention Center from July 20-23. More details on the
tournament can be found at www.capcom.com. All registered
contestants must check in for the competition at Room 29 C/D,
one hour before it begins on Sunday. Net battlers will receive
three Mega Man® tokens to begin with and can acquire more by
defeating other opponents. Up to 32 players will be divided
into groups of six and will play through two 30 minute rounds.
At the end of each round, players with the most tokens will
continue. The top two competitors will receive grand prizes of
Nintendo DS Lite systems. All players must bring their
own hardware and copy of the game. Capcom will provide Game
Boy® Advance Game Link® Cables for the competition. Acceptable
hardware includes: Game Boy® Advance and Game Boy® Advance SP.
However, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite and Game
Boy® Micro systems will not be allowed. In addition, wireless
adapters, e-Readers or cheats will also not be allowed. The
popular net battle series reaches a dramatic climax in Mega Man
Battle Network 6 Cybeast Gregar and Cybeast Falzar, as familiar
heroes, Lan and Mega Man, find themselves on unfamiliar terrain
both in the real and cyber worlds. In addition to a new town
and storyline, fresh features change up the gameplay. A new
"Cross System" allows Mega Man to utilize the special power of
allies in battle. Another powerful advantage is the "Beast Out"
system, resulting from Mega Man's absorption of the powerful
Cybeasts. While a Cross is equipped, Mega Man can also Beast
Out, combining the forces of these two systems to maximize the
power of the Crosses even further. Players can use Game Link
Cables to trade programs and battle chips with others as well
as competing in highly charged Net battles. About Capcom Capcom
