It was published and developed by Capcom for the Nintendo DS handheld video game console. It was released on December 14, 2006 in Japan, and was released in North America on August 7, 2007. The game was released in three separate versions simultaneously, subtitled , , and . However, the ''Dragon'' version was initially released exclusively to GameStop and EB Games stores in North America. Despite any similarities, ''Mega Man Star Force'' is considered a separate entity from the ''Mega Man Battle Network'' series. Even though it is claimed to be a separate entity, it still basically uses a 3x3 vs. 3x3 playing field style but now in a 3D 3x5. Both an anime and manga were produced several months prior to the game's Japanese release date. So far, only the anime has been adapted into English. A sequel, ''Mega Man Star Force 2'', was released on November 22, 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = )〕 Because of the networking capabilities of the Nintendo DS, players are now able to play against each other, trade battle cards, and form something called a Brother Band Network in the game via wireless connectivity.〔 ==Premise== In the Mega Man Star Force game the players are now allowed to explore and go to various different towns and also players are free to explore the newly introduced "Wave World" where the action also take place. ''Star Force'' deviates greatly from the standard Mega Man fare because it draws almost exclusively on elements from ''Battle Network'', making very few references or allusions to the other Mega Man series. However, Capcom has produced ''Star Force'' as a stand-alone series, meaning players can fully enjoy the title without being familiar with the ''Battle Network'' series. Set in the fictional year 220X,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = )〕 emphasis on internet technology has lessened, and instead, the world has become networked through use of EM waves. Though cyber worlds and NetNavis still exist in ''Star Force'', human dependency on them has greatly decreased, and people no longer have Navi companions. Three large satellites orbiting the Earth—Pegasus, Leo, and Dragon—power the EM Wave World that exists around the Earth's atmosphere, keeping the world networked. While the EM Wave World is normally invisible to the human eye, a special piece of eyewear called the Visualizer (possessed by the series' protagonist) allows a human to see this other world. However, like with the cyber worlds of ''Battle Network'', EM Wave Viruses inhabit the EM Wave World, causing problems in everyday life. In ''Battle Network'', people operated PErsonal Terminals (PETs) to constantly interact with the network. Similar devices called Transers are used in the ''Star Force'' world. Transers are compatible with Battle Cards, and when swiped through, they provide means to deleting viruses that infect the EM Wave World and other electronic devices. A group of Satella Police also exist, dedicated to stopping virus attacks and thwarting criminals who manipulate the EM Wave World in order to break the law. Furthermore, there exists an alien planet known as "Planet FM," inhabited by extraterrestrial beings called FM-ians. FM-ians can traverse in both worlds, and also possess the ability to physically merge with human beings through a process called . Other than lending a human the FM-ian's powers, this process also transforms an ordinary human into an "EM Wave Human," allowing him or her to freely operate in the EM Wave World (as well as cyber networks within specific electronic devices). The protagonist of ''Star Force'' is Geo Stelar, the son of a famous scientist and astronaut. He has an encounter with a rogue FM-ian known as Omega-Xis who takes residency in Geo's Transer. When the two go through an Electromagnetic Wave Change they form an entity that is ''eventually'' known as Mega Man. Whereas a large focus in the ''Battle Network'' series were the NetNavis (who are mostly based on Robot Masters from the ''Classic'' Mega Man series), ''Star Force'' focuses on FM-ians based on many real-life constellations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mega Man Star Force」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
