Super Sentai’s annual video game’s just been announced as Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger: Battle Cube Puzzle for Japanese region Nintendo 3DS consoles!
Rather than having it be a beat’em up like past games, Battle Cube Puzzle as the name suggests will be a puzzle game with a turn based RPG mechanic and the main six Zyuohgers being playable. Mech battles will play a part of the game, though it seems like the mechanics for that remained unchanged from previous titles. Other features include story mode, survival mode, puzzle mode, and of course: 5 player multiplayer. Battle Cube Puzzle will be released September 7th for 800 yen.
The first preview for the game’s been released onto Youtube, you can check it out in the box below:

Toho just registered a rather curious domain name; listed as Godzilla-Anime.com. A Godzilla anime could be in the works, but there’s not a whole lot of info to go on at the moment so unfortunately we don’t know if the project will be an OVA, movie, series, or somehow tied to the Neon Genesis Evangelion cross promotion that’s been going on as of late.
Godzilla’s first anime appearance was in a crossover episode with the Crayon Shin Chan series, prior to that was the 1998 Animated series which aired on Fox Kids well over 17 years ago!
Stay tuned and we’ll be sure to bring you more up to date information as soon as it becomes avalaible.
Bandai’s Godzilla X Evangelion cross promotion line takes a turn for the bizarre with their latest piece: a vinyl figure depicting a strange fusion amalgamation of Eva Unit 1 in his Awakening Form with bits of Godzilla attached to his body.
Eva Unit 1 G Awakening Form commands a hefty cost at 32,400 yen before middleman fees and shipping but stands at a massive 38 cm x 36cm, the vinyl figure will be released in January 2017, released as a Premium Bandai exclusive.
