Trivia
- MegaMan Network Transmission for the GameCube and MegaMan Battle Chip Challenge for the Game Boy Advance (originally called Rockman EXE N1 Grand Prix for the Wonderswan) are the only Battle Network sidestory games to be released in English. Other sidestory games include RockMan EXE: Phantom of Network and RockMan EXE: Legend of Network for Japanese Cell Phones.
- RockMan EXE WS and RockMan EXE 4.5 Real Operation do not follow the main storyline. RockMan EXE WS was a different telling of Mega Man NT Warrior as a side-scroller, while RockMan EXE 4.5: Real Operation introduced a new story and many differences in the gameplay.
- The team that worked on the Battle Network series was the same team that did the Legends games (Capcom Production Studio 2).
- All of the Robot Masters from the Original Mega Man game appears in the first game, except for Cutman, who appeared in Battle Network 2.
- There are four Mega Man X character crossovers in the series: Zero, who appeared in MegaMan Network Transmission as one of the characters, Colonel (from Mega Man X4) in MegaMan Battle Network 5: Team Colonel (and again in both versions of MegaMan Battle Network 6), Iris, who is based on the character of the same name from Mega Man X4, and Dr. Cain in Mega Man Battle Network 6. Iris's relationship with Colonel is mirrored from their relationship in the X series.
- As a result of crossover with Konami's Boktai series, Konami created a character as a parody of the series in their baseball game Power Pro Kun Pocket series. In addition, his teammates' name are all parodies of Capcom's series, and the team itself can be pronounced "Rockman" in Japanese.
- By inserting most Megaman Battle Network games into the Slot-2 of a DS, players may acquire additional benefits to two spin-offs of the Battle Network series: the Megaman Star Force series. For example, an additional sidequest is unlocked by placing any MMBN game in Slot-2 while a Star Force game is running in Slot-1, and the background music may change according to which game cartridge is placed in the Slot-2.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
