ICv2 recently published an interview with Bandai marketing manager Danny Satyapan, who revealed the company’s plans for a Power Rangers Trading Card Game to coincide with the release of Power Rangers Megaforce.

When asked about the game, which is due for release in February, Mr Satyapan had this to say:

The theme of Power Rangers in 2013 is called Megaforce and it’s the first time in the history of the Power Rangers franchise that the theme is about cards. Basically the Power Rangers use all of their cards, insert them into their morphers and through magic and other sorts of things, it makes them morph into different things, activates their Mega Zords and vehicles, all sorts of things.

We’re going to be creating a Power Rangers Trading Card Game that plays off of that. It’s probably the most support we’ve offered behind a CCG ever for Bandai, because it’s basically our flagship brand for the company.

Fans of Megaforce’s Super Sentai equivalent Tensou Sentai Goseiger will know that it also had a similar tie in game – the arcade/collectible card game Super Sentai Battle: Dice-O.

The first week of filming for Power Rangers Megaforce has just finished and Samuraicast have kindly collated all the news that has come from it. As well as cast images, it includes some info about what we can possibly expect from the latest Power Rangers series!

First up comes the news of a high-school setting being the primary location for Megaforce. Mr Yellow of RangerCrew tweeted an image of the school set to be used, which is Mount Albert Grammar School in New Zealand.

Secondly, Ciara Hanna (Yellow Megaforce ranger) tweeted that she met a special guest on set. Could veteran rangers be appearing early in the series before the switch to Super Megaforce?

Finally, Namihei Koshige, a veteran Power Rangers stunt actor, had this to say about one of the scripts for Megaforce:

In the previous season, “Samurai”, the story was pretty much the same as it was in the Japanese version, so they used a lot of places that looked like Japan. Even a few of the action scenes were taken from them. Regardless though, I went to First Unit today. Went to the Kanji consultant and the action director to go over what we had to do. I didn’t really get a chance to perform at all. “I wonder if today’ll be more of the same”… is what I thought.

But then I peeked at the script. Although it had a picture of “Goseiger”, it was mostly a fairly original story with lots to do!! So it’s been non-stop action everyday…

What else will Power Rangers Megaforce have in store? Stay tuned to Tokunation.com to find out!
