News: Coming in Black Ace and Red Joker varities.

Capcom has announced that the third Mega Man Star Force game will be released for the DS this Summer. And as is customary for the series, it will be released in two separate versions: Mega Man Star Force 3: Black Ace and Mega Man Star Force 3: Red Joker.

Star Force 3 will continue the franchise's mix of RPG style and card-based battles while adding the ability to modify and customize the characters with "Noise Changes." Noise Changes are based on the elemental abilities of earth, wind, fire and water (that's an RPG staple right there) and each version will have over 100 different Noise Types.

Capcom had this to say about the game's story:

In MMSF3, players will travel between the physical world and the digital world via electromagnetic waves that form Уwave roads.Ф Geo Stelar, the protagonist of the game, can see these wave roads through usage of his unique УvisualiserФ tool. Once in the digital world, Geo can merge with the electronic life-form known as Omega-Xis to become Mega Man. The wave roads are being overrun by mysterious УnoiseФ that change the player's environment and powers in different ways. This noise is being generated by an approaching gigantic meteor that threatens both the physical and digital worlds of MMSF3, forcing Geo Stellar and his crew to fight the oncoming threat to save two worlds. Fortunately, Mega Man discovers that he can control the Noise, using the new УNoise ChangeФ system to transform into many different forms, including the ultimate УBlack AceФ or УRed JokerФ forms.
