Mega Man was a physical robot in the original games. In Battle Network, he was now an AI in a computer and you sent him to do battle with enemy AI and viruses on networks in the game.

Yes but you have to admit that the title is extremely misleading.

It did have multiplayer. You could fight your friends if you used a Game Link.

I have a hard time imagining anyone thought that a game for a handheld console that didn't have an internet connection would use the internet.

It was branded Rockman EXE in Japan, and NT Warrior (i.e. Net Warrior) in the US anime, only. The "network" refers to the internet and the internet of things heavily featured in the games, in which you battle viruses; hence "Battle Network."
