Capcom of Japan Announces Release Dates for Rockman 10

Believe it or not, as we wait a mere half a day here in North America for Mega Man 10 to come out, in Japan the release date has simply been sometime in March for a while now. However, Capcom of Japan has finally announced when our friends in the east will get in on the action too. Like us, the release is being staggered, but to less of a degree. Both Wii and PlayStation 3 users will be able to get the game on Tuesday, March 9th. However, Xbox 360 players are still going to have to wait until March 31st. Really makes you wonder how the 360 got the short end of the stick on these deals.

Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star to release Nov 12th

GPara is reporting that Rockman EXE: Operate Shooting Star will be releasing in Japan on November 12th this year. A bit sooner than I was anticipating! The article says the game will contain new characters and various new elements. We look forward to finding out what they all are.

Star Force 3 off the air in Europe?

As 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!

Capcom confirms Star Force 3 shipping June 30th

An announcement today on Capcom-Unity has confirms that Mega Man Star Force 3 will be shipping to retailers on June 30th in North America. Furthermore, Capcom has updated their Mega Man homepage to include a Star Force 3 section, where you can find details on the game’s features, storyline and characters. There is also a video trailer, albeit it’s just an English subbed version of the Japanese trailer. Still worth checking out, especially if you’re one of those who likes to keep track of character name changes. Star Force 3 will of course be arriving in two versions: Black Ace and Red Joker.

GameStop says MMSF3 due June 9th

If you stop by GameStop.com, you can find Mega Man Star Force 3 Black Ace and Red Joker available for preorder and set to ship on June 9th. Of course this is a tentative date, having not been confirmed by Capcom, but it also seems like a pretty reasonable time frame for the Star Force series.
