Play Megaman Star Force 3 - Red Joker (US) Online

Game Overview

Mega Man Star Force 3: Red Joker is one of those DS games that somehow flew under the radar, but it’s a solid mix of action and card-based strategy. You play as Geo Stelar, a kid who fuses with an alien wave form (yeah, it’s weird) to become Mega Man, battling through a world where everything’s connected by EM waves.

The combat’s the real star here—you’re locked on a grid, dodging attacks while slinging Battle Cards in real time. At first, it feels chaotic, but once you get the rhythm of picking cards mid-fight, it clicks. The Red Joker transformation? Absolute overkill in the best way—just melts bosses if you time it right.

It’s got that classic Mega Man vibe but with a weird, almost-Pokémon social system where you befriend NPCs for bonuses. The story’s cheesy in that Saturday-morning-cartoon way, but the gameplay’s tight enough to make up for it. If you ever played Battle Network and wished it was a little faster, this is your fix.
