Mega Man Star Force, known in Japan as Ryuusei no Rockman (流星のロックマン, Ryūsei no Rockman?) (officially translated Shooting Star Rockman), is a Mega Man action role-playing video game published and developed by Capcom for the Nintendo DS handheld video game console. It was released on December 14, 2006 in Japan, and was released in North America on August 7, 2007.
The game was released in three separate versions simultaneously, subtitled Pegasus (ペガサス?), Leo (レオ?), and Dragon (ドラゴン?). However, the Dragon version was initially released exclusively to GameStop and EB Games stores in North America.
Despite many similarities, Mega Man Star Force is considered a separate entity from the Mega Man Battle Network series. Both an anime and manga were produced several months prior to the game's Japanese release date. So far, only the anime has been adapted into English. A follow-up game, Mega Man Star Force 2, was released on November 22, 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words man, star and/or force:
“Is man no more than this? Consider him well. Thou ow’st the worm no silk, the beast no hide, the sheep no wool, the cat no perfume. Here’s three on’s are sophisticated. Thou art the thing itself; unaccommodated man is no more than such a poor, bare, forked animal as thou art.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Fear not: that ultimate Star is frail,
only a flake of snow,
whirled in His breath.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
