I hope and pray that we get to see another GOG win and let them preserve this game.
I remember playing this on my DS/DSI as a kid; it was one of my first experiences with any CAPCOM title, and one of my first MegaMan games, period. It was a lot more fun than anything else I had at the time too. No amount of hours playing Mario Kart DS, Lego Star Wars, or any Monster Jam games could compare to just how fun and satisfying this was to play!
I may not have gotten very far in the story. I never did with any games as a kid, but what I experience was still immensely satisfying, and inspired me to buy all the MegaMan collections on Steam between play sessions of any of the available Monster Hunter games! I was really looking forward to Black Ace as in my hazy memory I hadn't realized that it was a Star Force game, not a Battle Network game.
I tried looking on all the other collections I had bought, and it seems like Star Force has either been forgotten by CAPCOM, or they just have yet to make any new collections featuring the games they missed.
I desperately hope this game can make a comeback someday, and I'd love to play it again soon! but given that I can't find my old DS/DSI, nor would I ever be able to track down the cartridge -- if it even works anymore.
For anyone else who may be reading this or adding to the petition, thank you, and keep fighting the good fight to preserve games that could end up being lost to time/dependencies on old hardware.
