Shin Bokura no Taiyō: Gyakushū no Sabata (新・ボクらの太陽 逆襲のサバタ, "New Boktai: Sabata's Counterattack", officially abbreviated Shinbok) is the third installment in Konami's Boktai action-adventure game series. It was released for the Game Boy Advance in Japan on July 28, 2005. Due to the lackluster sales of Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django in the international market, Shin Bokura no Taiyō was released exclusively in Japan, although it was briefly listed on Kojima Productions' official lineup under the title of Boktai: Sabata's Counterattack.[1] The title Boktai 3 has also been used as well.[2]

New Boktai's game cartridge includes a photometric light sensor that measures the amount of sunlight/uv rays exposed to it.

Plot

The legend goes that the Warriors were betrayed by their friend and never even fought the Eternal Beast. Django has to climb the Ancient Tree. At the top is Wings of Death, Hresvelgr, the second Immortal, who has captured Trinity and uses him as a bait to lure Django, as well as sucking power away from the tree. While keeping Trinity out of harm's way, Django defeats Hresvelgr, taking the coffin back to the Piledriver and successfully purifies him. However, as Django tries to return to San Miguel, The Count reappears, and challenges Django. Trinity freaks out and runs. Clouds cover the sky, and Dark Matter starts to rain down on Django. Trinity realizes that The Legend of The Warriors of Light is a true story: about Django. He believes that Django dies and the world ends because he "betrayed" Django. Django journeys to Pirate Island, where he learns more about Carmilla, and about what happened. Django defeats Machine King Nidhoggr, the Immortal charged with preventing Django from making it into space, and Piledrives him. Having a usable ship, Django heads back to the place where they fought. The Solar Boy enters a cannon and is fired into space, landing at the Dark Castle.

Django finds Carmilla before the last level and after talking, he decides to do all he can to save the world, even if that means losing his brother.

Making it to the core, Django fights against Vanargand (and Sabata). After a long, arduous battle, Django defeats the creature. A pseudo bike battle then occurs. As Django makes it out into the sunlight, Otenko or Sabata (on his own bike) is freed from Vanargand. As they reach the end of the road, Django and Otenko or Sabata combine their powers and finish Vanargand.

Gameplay

Shin Bokura no Taiyō: Gyakushū no Sabata plays almost exactly like the previous games in the series. However, it combines elements from both games. Django can now use melee weapons and guns, but he cannot enhance the melee weapons with elements and has restricted customization with his guns.

Rockman.EXE Crossover

The Rockman crossover continues only in the Japanese Version of Rockman.EXE 6 with Rockman.EXE, Colonel.EXE and Blues.EXE making cameo appearances as plushies, various Rockman themed equipment, and a new "Crossover Battle 2" mode where Django can compete against Rockman.EXE to see who can defeat the Count of Groundsoaking Blood faster.
