This is a review from Game Spot.com:
When you release a game that is effectively the ninth entry in what is already a stagnant franchise, keeping things fresh should be a primary concern. Capcom, however, seems content to drive whatever potential the Mega Man role-playing games had into the ground with Mega Man Star Force 3. Based on the Battle Network series from the Game Boy Advance, Star Force 3 retains essentially the same gameplay mechanics and presentation as its predecessors. If you’ve never played any of the previous Mega Man RPGs, you’ll probably enjoy the solid battle mechanics in Star Force 3. Still, the inane plot, annoying characters, and aged visuals are reason enough to avoid this tired retread.
Picking the right cards is key to success in battle.
As Geo Stelar, you become Mega Man and explore the wave world by merging with an alien named Omega-Xis. This time, the obligatory evil organization bent on world domination is called Dealer. Its members, each with a corny playing-card-themed persona like Queen Virgo or Jack Corvus, are attempting to gain control of a meteor heading for Earth, and your goal is to stop them. Despite its mature themes, the plot is primarily told through insurmountable walls of inane dialogue from characters who rigidly conform to stereotypes you’ve likely encountered countless times before. Geo’s group of friends includes a computer whiz kid; a fat, bullish classmate whose main concern is food; and a prissy girl whose only motivation throughout most of the story is to win her student-body election. Plot twists are predictable and, too often, character dialogue is used to spell out and remind you of events that have already occured, just in case you missed them the first (or second or third) time.
Star Force 3′s saving grace is its intricate battle system. Encounters take place on a 3-by-5 grid, which you view over Mega Man’s shoulder. Each turn, you can choose from a random set of six offensive or defensive battle cards. Emphasis is placed on the timing of your attacks and on evading enemy fire by sidestepping left or right. When you succeed in battle, you gain more-powerful cards instead of leveling up as you would in a traditional RPG. Discovering items in the environment or forming friendship bonds with other characters increases your maximum health and allows Mega Man to learn new abilities. Intense boss battles, a hallmark of all Mega Man games, are just as engaging and challenging here. Each enemy requires you to use a different strategy and to fine-tune your 30-card deck, so returning to the same bosses throughout the game always yields a new encounter.
Sticking with the playing cards motif, Mega Man Star Force 3 is available in two versions: Black Ace and Red Joker. These refer to the different ultimate transformations Mega Man can make in each game. Defeating certain enemies releases “noise,” which is a kind of electromagnetic pollution that you absorb during battle. Depending on which battle cards you use and how quickly you dispatch enemies, Mega Man “noise changes” and gains abilities specific to his new form. For example, the wolf form makes him vulnerable to fire-based attacks but increases the damage he causes from wood- and sword-based battle cards. Different noise changes are available in the two versions of the game, but there’s really no reason to buy both. The characters and story are identical in each. If you happen to know someone with the other version, you can link up locally or over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to trade battle cards and unlock a more-powerful ultimate transformation for Mega Man. You also have the option of battling up to seven friends as long as each person has a copy of either Black Ace or Red Joker.
Though not great, battle animations are a visual highlight.
Nearly every aspect of Star Force 3′s presentation is recycled from previous entries in the series. Except for the battle animations, there’s nothing in Star Force 3 that would look out of place in one of the older Game Boy Advance games. The character models, all lifted directly from earlier games, animate terribly if at all. There are only four main environments during the majority of the 30-hour-plus campaign, and they are all generic and uninspired: the town, the mall, the beach, and the police headquarters. Even the music, typically a high point in other Mega Man games, is bland here. The visuals and audio serve their function adequately, but it’s disappointing that the presentation values aren’t on a par with those of other DS games.
The first few Battle Network games were great, and there’s certainly plenty of potential for an RPG series starring Mega Man. Unfortunately, the series has progressed very little in the last eight years. If you’ve never played a Star Force game or if it has been a while since you’ve picked up the Battle Network series, then you might find some fun here. The solid battle mechanics and satisfying boss encounters will probably be enough to pull you through the inane plot and aged visuals. If you’ve played any recent entries in the series, you’ll want to avoid this shameless retread of an already tiresome formula.
Pity…I hope Rockman exe: Operate Shooting Star picks up the broken pieces of Star Force…

My apologies for the limited updates, only so much info is released nowadays. I’m waiting for Capcom Japan to release any goods on a new Mega Man game. Besides the Mega Man Rush Marine that was just announced for the mobile all the info swarming the internet right now are just rumors. I go for straight facts, with rumors you can just say about anything, I want the truth. I’ll let you guys know when something good is in the making, but until then the best you can do is just be patient. I’ll update more on TMNT news (the new game at E3 right now looks “okay” you can see details for it here and a review HERE).
Well guys that’s it for now, will post more when more info is available =D.

I think it’s time for some serious Mega Man Star Force 3 fun:
Geo Stelar and the rest of the gang are back in an all new adventure. How can Geo Stelar and his friends fight with the threat of “Meteor G” closing in on Earth? Moreover, what power can Mega Man harness by using the “Noise Change” system which controls the power of “Noise”?
Mega Man Star Force® 3 blends a unique formula of RPG exploration elements with fast-paced action. As players travel and battle between coexisting worlds, the physical world and the virtual Wave World, they will encounter enemies in the virtual Wave World, battling them on three-by-five battle grids with their Battle Card deck. Mega Man Star Force® 3 also adds a new feature called “Rezon,” which allow players to fill in profiles about battles and their team name/symbol.
* Two co-existing worlds – explore the real world in human form and transform into Mega Man to maneuver through the virtual “Wave World”
* The main theme is ‘Noise’. The Noise Ratio increases in different situations. As it increases different effects occur
* Cyber battles feature an immersive third-person view as players engage enemies in a 3×5 battle grid
* Cards now stack and are scattered randomly. Only the top card can be used when stacked. Mega-class and Giga-class cards have greater surface areas and are more likely to stack
* Each version has different “Noise Change” probabilities and unique final transformations with more than 100 Mega Man forms (transformations) possible by utilizing
* Each character has their own customizable Personal Page in the game where Battle Cards and information can be viewed and traded with friends to compare progress
* Two types of ultimate transformation – “Black Ace” and “Red Joker”
