Days ago , Kamen Rider Battle Ride War 2 was announced. Since the announcement, the the offical site for the game launched giving us our first glance at the game. The screenshots confirms that we’ll be getting missions based on W Forever, Megamax, and All Riders.
What’s more, the official site confirms that the game will be released on the Nintendo WiiU console as well as PS3. Regrettably, Nintendo region locked the WiiU so the game will not work on consoles outside of Japan. For those of us importing the game, the PS3 version is the way to go. Battleride War 2 launches in June.
Bandai Namco games has announced that a sequel to last year’s Dynasty Warriors-esque video game: Kamen Rider Battle Ride War will be coming out in June.

new scans have confirmed that Kamen Rider Gaim made the cut, as did Baron! Baron has Mango arms and Gaim seems to have everything up to Jimba Lemon.
In addition, the movie Power Ups for the past riders will be playable: Fourze will have Nadeshiko Meteor Fusion, OOO will have Super TaToBa, and Wizard will have Infinity All Dragon.
Like last year’s release, a premium sound version will be available in addition to a standard retail release. Battle Ride war 2 will be available for the Playstation 3.

With the introduction of Gaim Jinba Lemon Arms last week, many fans speculated that the new Jinba Arms would be able to transform into multiple forms. It would appear they were correct!
As speculated previously, it appears that the armor does simply rotate based on the Energy Lock Seed used in conjunction with the standard Orange Lock! Looking closely at the suit and toy images the Jinba Arms is exactly the same on all 4 sides, each one has a set of folding flaps which reveal the Energy Lock in use. Lemon, and Peach have now been seen, Melon & Cherry are assuredly under there too!
The short of it? Kamen Rider Gaim will likely be receiving at least 2 more Jinba forms (Melon & Cherry) after this, before Kachidoki Arms, and the rumored final form!
