Complete English translation of Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star (Mega Man Battle Network Operate Star Force) for the Nintendo DS.
This is an enhanced port of the first Mega Man Battle Network GBA title and a crossover with the Mega Man Star Force series.
The game comes with a save file on it that has the Bass and Rogue Battle Chips. These were event exclusive Battle Chips and cannot be obtained in the game otherwise. The save file will be at the very start of the game and must be used. Starting a new game will not have these 2 Battle Chips.
The game is set in the Battle Network setting (specifically the first Battle Network title), but both MegaMan.EXE and Geo Stelar (as Mega Man) appear together and are playable. The game is largely identical to the original title with the exception of an extra chapter involving Geo's appearance and a battle against a new NetNavi named ClockMan. However this chapter is completely disconnected from the storyline of the game and is not mentioned again afterward.
The battle system is retained from the original Battle Network series, with the addition of some fine-tuning that the system saw throughout the series's progression. The player is able to control either Mega Man in battle after the ClockMan chapter. The two Mega Men do not play identically; Star Force Mega Man brings his ability to lock-on to far-away targets, as well as a brief shield to block minor attacks. Both Mega Men utilize Battle Chips instead of Battle Cards, and new Chips (including a Navi Chip representing Omega-Xis) appear.
