Bakugan Battle Brawlers Is Out and Rolling

Bakugan Battle Brawlers was launched two days ago by Activision on several different platforms, and the anticipated kids' game should, in theory, rake up a nice number of sales. The game was released for the Xbox 360, the PlayStation3 and PlayStation 2 and for Nintendo's DS and Wii. The DS version will also have a Collector's Edition that will come with a special "Naga" ball as an extra bonus. Licensed by Corus Entertainment Inc.'s Nelvana, the title is inspired by the television series and Spin Master's best-selling toy.

David Oxford of Activision Publishing shared a few launch details of the game. "Bakugan is a true phenomenon that continues to explode in popularity and the videogame will draw even more people into its universe. The Bakugan Battle Brawlers videogame combines the characters and story from the cartoon series with the skill and strategy of the toy line to create an experience like no other." This may sound like nothing more than the typical marketing exaggerations, but, if you're not familiar with the animated series, then learn that the anime appears to be very popular.

Bakugan follows the story of Dan and his friends as their lives take an unexpected turn when mysterious cards fall from the sky. These prove to be magical items and powerful monsters are sealed within. Building a game around these cards, kids all over the world engage in the challenges, but Dan's group manages to stand out from the crowd. The title will follow pretty much the same guidelines, as players will need to carefully roll spheres onto their cards and release the creatures that reside within to engage in battle.

The game may have to wait a little before it can prove its worth, but, if it achieves the same result that the Bakugan toy did, then it will prove to be a real best-seller for its genre. The Bakugan toy won three 2008 "Toy of the Year" awards from the Toy Industry Association and the Bakugan Battle Brawlers New Vestroia Maxus Helios 7 in 1 is part of the "Fabulous 15" list of Toys"R"Us'. Currently, the animated series is aired in the US on Cartoon Network, but on a lot of other channels across the world. If the franchise continues to grow, this could really prove to be a new Pokemon fab.
