Mega Man Star Force 2 for Nintendo DS Arrives at Retail

Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games,
today announced that Mega Man Star Force 2 for Nintendo DS is now
available at retail. The second game in the Mega Man Star Force series
will offer an updated battle system with new Battle Cards and
diabolical enemies. Mega Man Star Force 2 will have two versions:
Zerker X Ninja and Zerker X Saurian. Mega Man Star Force 2 is rated
E10+ for everyone 10 and older and carries a suggested retail price of
$29.99.

Developed by the team behind the popular MegaMan Battle Network series,
Mega Man Star Force 2 continues two months after the previous game left
off. Geo Stelar and crew return to battle a whole host of UMA's
(unidentified animated beings) and a new rival character called
"Rogue." Amidst this new conflict, a mysterious organization emerges
with plans to revive the ancient civilization of "Mu" by utilizing the
force of an ancient heritage "OOPArt." It's up to Geo and his
virus-busting buddy, Omega-Xis, to thwart this latest threat.

Each of the three variants - Zerker, Ninja and Saurian - offers its own
distinct Mega Man transformations with unique special attributes and
abilities. Players can harness the spirit of an ancient species known
as "Tribe" and transform or "tribe on" into three different forms: Elec
Zerker wields a large sword imbued with the power of lightning; Wood
Ninja can throw a huge Shinobi Star and move at great speed; Fire
Saurian reduces enemies to smoldering pieces with a swipe of his fiery
fist.

Mega Man Star Force 2 blends a unique formula of RPG exploration
elements with fast-paced action, as players travel and battle between
the coexisting physical and virtual Wave World. While seeking to
unravel the mystery around the appearance of new troublemakers, players
will encounter enemies in the virtual Wave World and battle them on
three-by-five battle grids with their Battle Card deck. Mega Man Star
Force 2 also adds an upgraded "Transer" system.

Activating the communications application via the Nintendo Wi-Fi
connection or local wireless allows players to connect with in-game
friends regardless of their location. Once connected, players can add
new friends to their network to create a "Brother Band" network where
they can share cards, status upgrades, and even help each other to
perform upgraded transformations. Wireless match application via the
Nintendo Wi-Fi connection is also available for Mega Man Star Force 2
which allows players to test their skills against friends across the
internet.
