Operate Shooting Star Revealed

[Protodude]

The September Coro Coro has arrived and with it comes our first look at Operate Shooting Star:






Not much is known at the moment, but what we can gather is that SS Rockman is playable within the EXE universe. Other characters such as Harp Note, appear as well.


Other tidbits:
- SSRockman and Rockman EXE are playable.
- Clock Man (aka Clock Genius) is a Navi from the future. Interacts with characters from the EXE universe.
- Additionally, Clock Man gets his own area.
- Graphically, the game uses the sprites from EXE 1.
- There is a map for the Internet on the bottom screen
- No word on how the battles will play out. Next issue of Coro Coro might touch on this.


More info as it develops. Many thanks to TMMN for helping gather the info. This was a collaborative effort between Heat Man and myself

Oh cool, Geo travels back in time to the EXE universe!

[Gaia]

Looks like the style is (well, mostly) graphically unchanged, and that's 10 nostalgia points from me~

And this most likely explains Geo's buster change too.. Now if you excuse me I'll laugh at the kid who picks this issue and sees the change of his Clock Genius that was changed to "man".  

Also, they decided to pull an EXE5DS and added a map.. although if Inc's ripped maps were simple enough.. >>

[Irgendein]

I think I may actually be a bit interested in this now, despite how very little I care about BN & SF

[Zx]

Hmmm...looks cool, I like the sprites from EXE 1. I hope more info comes out

[The Great Gonzo]

YES YES YES/repeating myself from PRC/ And a map? VERY YES

Didn't notice that Clock Genius's name was changed.

[Solar]

What the hell was that about a remake then?   

Can't complain though, I prefer it this way, but why did they have to use the EXE1 internet? D: Also, is it just me or did Subaru get new sprites?

[Klavier Gavin]

[tornado fang] YEAH!

Now if there would be an anime/OVA/whatever then I will be happy.

[STM]

Now lets see how long this boat floats. Will they make it to Battle Network 3? BN6? Will the actually make BN4 not suck?!

I kind of hope it's not just a direct port of BN1 with almost no other changes. They really could stand to add more areas (Clock Man aside) and bosses, since I don't remember this one being all that hard. For example, I would like to see an actual story added to them finding Bass.EXE in Internet 16.

Just got back from PRC, and a lot of the comments are "GRAAARH LAZY GRAPHIC ARTISTS". Grumble.

[VixyNyan]

I will enjoy this game a lot. ^^

Those comments make me cry...

[Blackhook]

The return of the good EXE sprite style   
Clock Man needs a coat, then he would be the perfect clock dealer

You have to admit that it makes it look like it's just a port of EXE1 with the only difference being the RnR part.

[Harruhy]

In the first image, next to Clock Man, there's Harp Note and Roll. 
And how come we don't see regular Subaru in any of those images?

- Graphically, the game uses the sprites from EXE 1.
- There is a map for the Internet on the bottom screen

Even though we don't know how the battle system will work, these two factors are easily the most important.  I'm replaying EXE 1 right now, and I LONG for a Map of the Net! 

[Acid]

And a map? VERY YES

Exactly this. A great improvement.

[Protoman Blues]

Now, I just hope for some kick ass remix of the EXE 1 Battle Theme, which is still my favorite from the EXE series.

[Blackhook]

T-they keep the internet from Exe 1? I kinda thought it looked dull

[RMX]

Subaru is his own grandfather. You heard it here first.

[Protoman Blues]

That's good.  Then he can save us from gigantic brains!

[STM]

Now, I just hope for some kick ass remix of the EXE 1 Battle Theme, which is still my favorite from the EXE series.

I did love the remix of it in EXE 5 DS.

[Protoman Blues]

I did love the remix of it in EXE 5 DS.

As did I.  It's a shame that the EXE 5 DS remix of the EXE 2 battle theme was just too [tornado fang]ing good to not play it! 

[Acid]

That's good.  Then he can save us from gigantic brains!

One of the best Futurama episodes. And that's saying something, because Futurama had loads of great episodes.

Absolutely.  One of the best shows ever.

It's not that bad, and I'm sure they'll spruce it up a little.  It just needs some more background art and characters wandering around so it feels less like one huge, lifeless maze.

Now, I just hope for some kick ass remix of the EXE 1 Battle Theme, which is still my favorite from the EXE series.

Personally, I got a little tired of hearing "Dongle dongle dong, dongle dongle dong, dongle dongle dong, dongle dongle dong" at the beginning of every battle.  Why not put in multiple virus battle songs?

For example, I would like to see an actual story added to them finding Bass.EXE in Internet 16.

Ah yes, there should be more of an impetus to finding the secret bosses than "Oh, there is a star by my save file, I suppose I should search every dead end of the Internet again."
