Rockman EXE OSS – TGS stage report

Dengeki Online has a report in from the first of Takeshi Horniounchi’s stage events for Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star, giving a little insight to some details about the game.
First is the confirmation of something we generally figured. As the game progresses, MegaMan will seemingly face Star Force MegaMan as a boss (likely connected to the ClockMan event). After beating Star Force MegaMan, he becomes an ally and a playable character during circumstances when Lan and MegaMan get into a pinch (however, it is not expressed if this can occur any time to the player’s choosing, or if it’s only story specific events). The report also mentions being able to use the cards connected to the Star Force series, and being able to summon Star Force MegaMan for the Program Advance “Double MegaMan.” It is still unclear how Star Force’s battle cards come into play and if they’ll differ from Battle Chips.
Additionally, details are given about the minigame MegaMan Star Colosseum, which was thought up using Star Force 2’s Colosseum game as a base. The game, which can be played wirelessly with friends, has players assuming a character such as MegaMan EXE, Star Force MegaMan or ProtoMan, and scrambling about trying to collect stars on the map. However, players can also attack other players to steal their stars, seemingly via a rock-paper-scissors item system. Grab items to change which attribute you have, and then attack the player whose attribute is weak to yours.
Portions of this game appear to take place on a wave road-like structure above the clouds. This could possibly imply the existance of such areas in the main gameplay as well (this is my own conjecture).
Check out Dengeki Online for more photos from the event.
Huh, I don’t know if it’s just the camera, but in one of the images, Subaru is fighting a odd-colored much-greener-than-usual Rockman.EXE. Eh, likely just the camera.
Looks like there’s still quite a few things that they can surprise us with, especially what with that image of Rockman.EXE seemingly walking on a wave road above the clouds (even though that image shows him participating in the minigame).
I hope they don’t tell us everything before the game releases.
In BN1 when you played multiplayer, the other Mega Man.EXE (your opponent) was green. That might be a throwback to it. Although it doesn’t really make sense now.
It’s probably just multiplayer. Subaru probably has a similar change in colors when fighting him.
I still think that the main story will take a turn and not be identical. Come on, it can’t possibly be the same with the new plot elements.
whoohoo. love this. though im dreadfully missing the wifi. i guess ill have to play SF3 to delete some people who get on my nerves
