As probably the biggest MMBN fan in this topic: a quick rundown

1: A raw game, as expected of a new series. NOT a bad game, mind. Just raw.

2: New concepts and streamlining of systems. Improvements make for a quick and fun(also easily breakable) battle system. You're also granted the chance to be STYLISH(hint hint) in battle as well.

3: Routinely considered the best of all by fan opinions. 3 truly maximises the best of the previous 2 and gives even more improvements. 3 becomes the first game where "breaking the game" is almost encouraged by the game itself. From the chips to the refined style changes, specific program advances and even the pre-made chip folders. The narrative in MMBN3 is partially about being the #1 ranked navi, and the game wants you to do it to the MAXIMUM. Also spend an hour battling in ACDC 1 and you'll probably have over 100 bugfrags.

4: Repeats the intent of the first game. It's raw. Again, raw doesn't mean bad. Downside is 4 is both raw and flawed. The emotion window gives a new edge while sacrificing the ability to farm bugfrags. The NG+ isn't bad, but the main charm is built upon linking your game with the opposite color game to have that game's Soul Navis put into yours(RS to BM and reverse). Double Soul is a half and half; in some cases much better than style changes, but in others hyper limited and gimmicky(looking at you Junk Soul). Also gives you(debatably) the most powerful Double Soul in Metal Soul.

5: Improves upon Double Soul and gives much more viability to Dark Chips through Chaos Unison. There are also 3 bonus forms but are they even available in this collection? Aside from that Liberation Missions give a new, fun take on story progression and ensures you entire navi team is useful. NG+ is replaced by a "challenge mode toggle(spoiler related so I won't say more)". Also replaces arguably the best Double Soul in Metal Soul with arguably the best Double Soul in Knight Soul(Go Colonel!)

6: Wraps everything up in a neat bow, both narratively and gameplay wise. Style Change and Double Soul are merged unto a new concept with largely new navis(some old favorites return).Beast Modes are as their names suggest. BEASTLY, for different rewsons of course. Just like 3 perfected the formula of 1&2, 6 perfects the formula of 4&5.

TL;DR..... PLAY GAMES. BE HERO.
