Mega Man Star Force Pegasus, Leo and Dragon videos shown by Capcom. The action-RPG release date is in August 2007
Capcom recently showed off a new game in the Megaman series, Mega Man Star Force for the Nintendo DS. It’s the first game in a new Mega Man series that debuts in three versions: Pegasus, Leo and Dragon. The action-RPG has a planned release date in North America of August 2007.
These first videos show the Mega Man Battle Network spin-off series Mega Man Star Force. Starting with the “Pegasus” version, you can freeze enemies cold with its ice attack:
In the “Leo” version you unlock star power.
In the “Dragon” version you unleash a new whirlwind attack move to use.
The action-RPG blends exploration with fast-paced battles, as players travel between the real world and virtual Wave World. Developed by the team behind the popular Mega Man Battle Network series, the game marks the start of a new era for Mega Man, which celebrates his 20th anniversary this year. In Mega Man Star Force, players explore towns and interact with people in the real world while the action-packed battles take place in the virtual dimension. Enemy encounters take place on a three by five grid, where players use a portfolio of Battle Cards that each have distinct attributes and attack powers. As the story progresses, players will acquire additional cards and can build an arsenal that reflects their personal strategy. Players can also connect wirelessly via the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection with friends to create a “Brother Band†network, where they can share cards and status upgrades.
Set in the year 22XX, Mega Man Star Force introduces all new characters in a fresh, futuristic storyline with interspatial themes based on astronomy and wireless wave signals. As main character Geo Stelar, players must vanquish a new breed of enemies that have emerged from the distant planet FM. Using a pair of special “visualizer†glasses that let him see wave signals that are otherwise invisible to the human eye, Geo and a mysterious ally named Omega-Xis must join forces to transform into Mega Man in order to enter the virtual “Wave World†and defeat the aliens from FM.
