Another new video game is on the way for Kamen Rider fans!
With thanks to The Tokusatsu Network for the heads up, SummonRide uses a variety of Rider figurines through gameplay, similar to the Skylanders franchise. Placing a figure over the Rider Gate makes that character appear in-game. Character attacks can also be augmented through Chips sold alongside the figurines. Sets of 2 chips & 2 figurines will retail for 1800 Yen apiece while other Chips will be sold at the 1500 yen pricepoint.
The Kamen Riders used in SummonRide are categorized by elemental-based powers: Fire, Water, Wind, Light and Darkness. Each element set contains at least 3 Kamen Riders, with additional Riders presumably joining the lineup after the initial release.
Kamen Rider: SummonRide will be released this December for the PlayStation 3 and WiiU video game consoles! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details! Thanks again to our friends at TokusatsuNetwork.com for the heads up!

Rider meets Skylanders!

Guess it was only a matter of time.
Think we'll see Sentai involved?

Do they seriously hate Xbox that much? >_> I mean, I get that Sony and Nintendo are Japanese companies and they would be able to have the game but then Xbox users are alienated if that's the only console they own. (Speaking as a Xbox only owner because money reasons.)

Well this sounds... interesting...
But yeah, I wish that they weren't so xenophobic over products produced outside of Japan. And Americans get the bad rap for racism...
ANYWHO!!
I still kinda want the Kiva figure regardless of whether I'll ever get to play the game.

Hopefully the game attached isn't just Ganbaride.

I hate Skylanders. I hate the entire premise of it as both a game format and as something connected to the Spyro franchise.
And yet, I want this.
losondro says
I seriously do want to play this but I don't want to shell out $200-$400 just to get a console for the game. (Which is why I wish they just develop for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and WiiU so that everyone is happy.)
Electric Turahk says
edit:
I wouldn't try to dismiss the issue as simple xenophobia.
It all sounds very xenophobic to me. :/
Yeah, I understand that knowing and understanding cultural differences is incredibly important (watched my fair share of videos on that in the past weeks during my ongoing orientation period at IBM), but... Well, it's been 13 years. Guess one just hoped that times would have changed.
