The BCG works for the following games: Mega Man Battle Network 4 (Red Sun and Blue Moon), Rockman EXE 4.5 Real Operation, and Mega Man Zero 3. While the BCG was only released in Japan, it will work on any international copies of these games.
Starting up the game with the Gate attached, unlocks [[Operation Battle_(MMBN4)|Operation Battle]] mode on the title screen.
In this mode, the player sends real life BattleChip to their Navis while having limited control over them. The controls are different than normal gameplay as well:
