“Mega Man: Star Force Perfect Collection” is a compilation of all seven titles in the “Mega Man: Star Force” series, scheduled for release in 2026. Originally launched in 2006 as a Nintendo DS title to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Mega Man’s debut, it was followed by sequels titled “Mega Man: Star Force 2” and “Mega Man: Star Force 3.”
“Mega Man: Star Force” continues the legacy of the “Mega Man Battle Network” series, set in a world 200 years after the events of that series. One key feature is the expansion beyond the cyberworld depicted in “Mega Man Battle Network,” introducing a new “radio wave world.”
In this series, the protagonist, Hoshikawa Subaru, transforms into Mega Man by merging with a radio-wave lifeform named Warrock. This fusion allows him to explore both the radio wave world and the cyberworld.
Subaru is a shy, introverted boy, but Warrock has a more rough-and-tumble personality—creating a dynamic contrast to the relationship between Ryota and Mega Man in “Mega Man Battle Network.”
The original version utilized the Nintendo DS’s dual-screen functionality. In this “Perfect Collection,” the UI has been optimized for single-screen play, and enhanced with high-resolution graphics and smoothing filters to provide a comfortable experience on modern hardware.
The game also includes online multiplayer battle features previously seen in “Mega Man Battle Network: Advanced Collection.”
Additional features unique to the “Perfect Collection” include assist functions such as auto-save, adjustable Lock Buster power levels, and customizable encounter rates. The collection also includes a well-rounded gallery with concept art—offering longtime fans a chance to reminisce while enjoying the original titles anew.
Bonus cards obtained during events are included in the game; those who missed them originally can now use them to their heart’s content.
As previously announced, this title includes new arranged soundtracks for all tracks in addition to the original BGMs—and importantly, every single track has been newly arranged. These arranged tracks can be set as background music during gameplay, allowing players who experienced the originals to enjoy a fresh atmosphere by changing the soundtrack.
Messages from several key figures were also shared on stage: director Koichi Oda, “Mega Man: Star Force 2” director **Masakazu Eguchi (Eguchi the Master)", “Mega Man: Star Force” and “Mega Man: Star Force 3” director Masahiro Anma, and series main illustrator Komaki Shinshke.
