Star Force 3 off the air in Europe?

geoandmegaAs we near closer to the release of Mega Man Star Force 3 in North America, something had seemed funny to me. There have been no formal announcements of Star Force 3 coming out in the European region. Sure it’s true that Mega Man games tend to arrive to Europe delayed – Star Force 2 was finally out nearly a year after its initial release in Japan – but the games are still announced, delay or otherwise.

When E3 came and passed earlier this June, both Capcom USA and Capcom Europe presented the same press materials, except the European press site was quietly devoid of any mention of Star Force 3. This eventually prompted me to shoot an e-mail over to Ben Le Rougetel, a member of Capcom Europe’s PR, to ask about the fate of the title.

The response I got this morning: “I am sorry to say that currently there are no plans to release this title in Europe.”

So at least for now, it appears Mega Man Star Force 3 won’t be coming to Europe. Of course, Capcom Europe could always decide to announce it later should they see fit to. If you’re living in Europe and have really been waiting for Star Force 3, now’s the time to speak up and show your support!

    Wow, all of those European kids who are fans of Star Force will pretty much have no way to play Star Force 3… I doubt most parents would actually import it, although I guess this means more sales for CoA for all the people that do.

    well, I live in europe ans I don’t care, i don’t like theses megaman games.

    I only want a new megaman in 2D, like megaman x9 or megaman zx3, or a new serie on next gen with 2D HD! it would be awesome.

    long life to megaman/rockman!!

    (and sorry for my bad english)

    Import from the US? that would work…

    I already ordered it before I heard this. I hate europe btw. Always getting stuff last, or never, or getting stuff first that I don’t care about. -_-; Like Wii Fit or whatever the h*** got here first a while back. Well, whatever europe, I’m getting my MMSF3, whether you like it, or. not.

    Well,it is nice that the DS is region-free.Except Battle Network 5, i imported all Megaman-Titles for the DS. By the time ZX came out here in Germany, i played trough Advent..with voice-overs.The voices were cut here,IIRC.
    And in another way,it is good they don´t publish it here. Price is usually way lower,purchase and delivery, than buying it here.And,if you are in it,there is a better wifi-community. i rarely talked to anyone who even has a DS,not to speak of the game.
    Lousy English aside,this is my opinion.Its not that great to see that the series get that little support here anymore,but its not earthshaking.

    O_O
    I live in the PAL regions! Only one thing to do
    spam Capcom’s inbox with angry messages…or import form America that’s good too.

  8. Roy L. says:

    Erm, Sesshoumaru, forgive me for asking, but what is your problem? It’s just as Dace said, except I live in the country next to it. (guess which one.)

  9. Roy L. says:

    If possible, delete my first/second comment, I’ll explain what I meant. I don’t necessarily hate europe, I just hate the fact that they (shops) make games and such so expensive by taking the US dollar price and just replace it with a €, making it more expensive than it’s supposed to be. I also dislike having to wait for games because at least 4 other countries want/need to translate the game into their respective languages, while the rest just settles with the english language (which is one way how I learned english.). Finally, I hate things like this happening, just not releasing games. They might just sell way better over here. If you (Sesshomaru, sorry I misspelled your name in my second comment) think I hate the european people, you misunderstood (which isn’t hard, my comment was pretty vague), and I’d like to apologise to all who thought so. I’m european myself, so that’d be pretty weird. I’d also like to apologise to write this here, but I thought I’d correct myself right away. Now, back on topic. :3

  13. Voltman EXE says:

    Don’t woory dudes, by october or november, we’ll have the game. i’m sure of it!

  14. Blue_Bomber says:

    I live in Australia, and this really sucks for us. I was importing it from the US anyway, but some of my friends really wanted to get this and I don’t think they will be able to import it.

    Then again it still might make it over here… hopefully.

  15. AlphaOmega says:

    This comming in europe i´m sure capcom bring it out in europe.

  16. AlphaOmega says:

  1. [...] I can’t say that the ‘Star Force’ series is one of my favorites, but I still find it truly rotten that Europe doesn’t get to make the purchase decision for themselves. Maybe if enough buzz is made, Capcom Europe will have a change of heart. Link [...]
