It’s about to get wild!

It’s certainly been a big day for Kamen Rider fans, as our first look at Kamen Rider Zi-O was dropped quite recently and Bandai is showing no signs of stopping any time soon. You might recall that a new video game called Kamen Rider Climax Scramble was recently announced for the Nintendo Switch if you’ve been looking to import the game we have good news for you.

It was just confirmed on Bandai Namco S.E.A’s official Twitter account that Kamen Rider Climax Scramble will be making it’s way to South East Asia, complete with English subtitles much like last year’s Climax Fighters game.

The good news is that the Nintendo Switch console is region free, so this version of the game will be more import friendly for our English reading audience. We’re still waiting for the trailer to drop, but we’ll let you know once it comes out so be sure to check back with us for more updates yet to come. 

UPDATE:

Both the Japanese region and South East Asia region versions of the game are currently up for pre-order on Play-Asia.

Following this mornings’ press conference, we have now learned a great deal about the cast of the 20th Heisei Kamen Rider series- Kamen Rider Zi-O!

Here is what we know of the story so far:

*Kamen Rider Zi-O’s human name is Sougo Tokiwa. He’s described as “an ambitious young man who dreams of being a King.” Sougo’s catchphrase is “I feel like going somewhere!”

*Kamen Rider Geiz is actually a reference to the characters human name, Geiz Myokoin. He was sent back in time to kill Sougo before the Demon King can awaken.

*The female lead is also a time traveler; Tsukoyomi tries to guide Sougo & Geiz on the right path.

*Sougo’s great-uncle Junichiro Tokiwa will run the “hangout” area this season- a boutique called the Kujigojido Shop. He is a watchmaker & knows a lot about past Kamen Riders.

*To stop the Demon King from awakening & destroying the future, Zi-O & Geiz will travel through time to meet with past Kamen Riders. The cast of Kamen Rider Build and several faces from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid are shown returning to greet these new heroes!

*The villains are known as the TimeJackers and they come from the future to replace Zi-O with their own King- via candidates known as Another Riders– people found in other times & granted powers similar to Kamen Riders with devices called AnotherWatches. These AnotherRiders appear as monstrous versions of past Kamen Riders. By defeating them, Zi-O & Geiz will gain the powers of past Riders.

*Schwartz is the name of the TimeJackers’ leader- described as a violent older man. He is aided by a woman named Aura who can convince others to willingly accept AnotherRider powers. Accompanying them is a young man by the name of Wool who playfully experiments with time for his own amusement.

*A mysterious figure known as Wars appears to both the Riders & the TimeJackers. This man is described as “a prophet from the future” and reads tales of heroic actions from his unique book.

Finally, Bandai Japan has uploaded a special promotional video highlighting the history of Kamen Riders in the Heisei Era & acting as a teaser of sorts for this new series:

The merchandise campaign for the 20th Heisei Rider series is rapidly picking up speed, and now we have a quick look at just what Kamen Rider Zi-O has to offer collectors!

Bandai Japan has uploaded the first commercial for the DX Ziku Driver: the henshin device for this new series. This is our best sample so far of the sounds within this new piece of Rider hardware:

The DX Ziku Driver (which includes the Kamen Rider Zi-O RideWatch) is currently scheduled for release on September 1 2018 and priced at approximately 7500 Yen. If you are interested, contact your preferred Kamen Rider retailer to add this piece of Kamen Rider Zi-O’s arsenal to your collection!

“You should have told Zordon, no.”

Dispatched to Earth’s moon on a mission to free Rita Repulsa by the mighty Dark Spector, was the original Psycho Ranger. When the NASA moon landing inadvertently woke this slumbering villain in 1969, Alpha 5 & Zordon had no choice but to assemble a team, the original Power Rangers!  Inexperienced, isolated, caught off guard, the Power Rangers would have to contend with, Psycho Green! 

Released as an SDCC 2018 Exclusive, the Legacy Psycho Green Ranger is (simultaneously with Psycho Silver) the first release of this mold in North America. Though the Psycho Red & Blue Rangers have turned up internationally, Green & Silver mark the domestic debut for this new mold. If you have experience with the Legacy 6.5″ line at all, then you know exactly what you’re in for here. Throw in the premium-style con packaging and Psycho Green’s signature Psycho Dagger, and you get a solid release and introduction of what to expect from his mold mates. I’ve done my best to recreate some panels from Green’s debut issue so I hope that comes across. Enjoy!

With Kamen Rider Zi-O heralding the end of the Heisei Era for Kamen Rider, and in commemoration of the 20th Heisei Rider himself, Tamashii Nations has announced the S.H. Figuarts Heisei Riders Rising Project!

The Rising Project announcement promises the reveal of 3 new Heisei Rider figuarts in the near future. The first of these 3 riders will be revealed on August 24th. Currently speculation is running wild as to what these 3 figures will actually be. Will this be Kiva’s time? There’s Zi-O which begins airing next month  as well, so now would be an ideal time to reveal his first figuart. Then there’s the possibility that 1 or more of these figures could be a Shinkocchou Seihou renewal of an out of date release like OOO, Fourze, or even Faiz.

Exactly who these 3 Heisei Riders are, is something we’ll be watching closely in the coming weeks. So we’ll be sure to keep the community up to date!
