Longtime gaming icon Mega Man is ready to toy once more with role-playing chicanery in Mega Man Star Force 3, recently announced by Capcom to be en route to stores throughout North America. Two separate versions, Black Ace and Red Joker, have been released, each with unique items and powers – referred to as “Noise Changers,” a new addition to the series – to be shared via Nintendo’s wifi connection for the DS.

Reportedly, the story involves players traveling between the real world and virtual reality by way of ‘wave roads,’ and these roads have been overrun by a bizarre phenomenon called ‘noise.’ A mysterious meteor appears to be the culprit, although inside sources suggest The World Ends With You may be involved.

Mega Man Star Force 3 will be on shelves for an SRP of $29.99, continuing the series tradition of prices that end in nine.
