New MegaMan series announced for DS

MegaMan Battle Network 4 Blue MoonThe MegaMan Battle Network development team posted a message on Capcom‘s website announcing their plans to celebrate Mega Man’s 20th anniversary with a new DS-exclusive game in the series, set for release in Japan on December 17th.

The new MegaMan game takes many of the Battle Network concepts fast forwarded hundreds of years into the future. The team promises to use both screens effectively, and has moved the setting from the Cyber World to the Radio Wave World, which is apparently much more like the human’s world than the Cyber World shown in the Battle Network series. This time the main character boy will be using a secret new device to become Rockman. Translated by Atomic Fire
