A terrorist organization called WWW (World Three) attempted to destroy the world with the use of a super virus known as the Life Virus. Despite interference by Lan and MegaMan, the members stole the four element programs they needed in order to make it and succeeded in its creation. The virus was as strong as predicted, but was destroyed by MegaMan. Its defeat forced WWW to retreat. This game received an averaged score of 80% score on GameRankings and 79% on Metacritic.

''Mega Man Battle Network'' was later re-released for the [[Nintendo DS]] as ''Rockman.EXE: Operate Shooting Star'', which serves both as an enhanced port of the original, as well as a [[Crossover (fiction)|crossover]] with the ''[[Mega Man Star Force|Star Force]]'' series.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|last=Sounders|first=Mike|date=June 17, 2019|title=Capcom was working on a Mega Man Star Force 4 at one point|url=https://www.destructoid.com/capcom-was-working-on-a-mega-man-star-force-4-at-one-point/|access-date=February 23, 2022|website=Destructoid|publisher=[[Enthusiast Gaming]]}}</ref> The NetNavi exclusive to ''Operate Shooting Star'', ClockMan.EXE, was a winner from a [[CoroCoro Comics]] contest.<ref>{{Cite web|last=LanceHeart|date=December 17, 2010|title=Happy 23rd, Mega Man!|url=http://www.themmnetwork.com/2010/12/17/happy-23rd-mega-man/|access-date=February 12, 2022|website=The Mega Man Network}}</ref> Despite initial strong sales,<ref>{{cite web|author=Graft|first=Kris|date=November 19, 2009|title=Japanese Software: J-League Pro Soccer Club Replaces Winning Eleven At Top|url=http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/26154/Japanese_Software_JLeague_Pro_Soccer_Club_Replaces_Winning_Eleven_At_Top.php|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101110221834/http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/26154/Japanese_Software_JLeague_Pro_Soccer_Club_Replaces_Winning_Eleven_At_Top.php|archive-date=November 10, 2010|access-date=February 23, 2022|website=[[Gamasutra]]|publisher=Informa}}</ref> it would only sell 60000 copies by the end of 2009, which contributed to the cancellation of ''Star Force 4''.<ref name=":2" /> Capcom's then Vice President of Strategic Planning & Business Development, Christian Svennson, stated the company had no plans to release the game for Western territories, however an English [[Fan translation of video games|fan translation]] released in 2018.<ref>{{cite web |author=Spencer |date=July 2, 2010 |title=Capcom Has "No Plans" To Localize Rockman EXE: Operate Shooting Star |url=http://www.siliconera.com/2010/07/02/capcom-has-no-plans-to-localize-rockman-exe-operate-shooting-star/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100704210114/http://www.siliconera.com/2010/07/02/capcom-has-no-plans-to-localize-rockman-exe-operate-shooting-star/ |archive-date=July 4, 2010 |access-date=February 23, 2022 |website=Siliconera |publisher=[[Enthusiast Gaming]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Greiga Master |date=February 22, 2018 |title=Translations - Rockman.EXE: Operate Shooting Star |url=https://www.romhacking.net/translations/3667/ |access-date=March 4, 2022 |website=ROMhacking.net}}</ref>
