Ultra Monsters Return to the Arcades in Daikaiju Battle Rush!

Posted on March 27, 2013 at 1:20 am by baltanii under Ultraman

It’s been several years since the Ultraman franchise’s card-based video game Daikaiju Battle has had a presence in Japan, while its successors Ganbaride and Dice-Oh have kept the Japanese kids and kids-at-heart preoccupied, but thanks to our friends at Rising Sun Tokusatsu, we know that’s about to change!

Daikaiju Battle Rush: Ultra Frontier is the latest card series for the game franchise, started in 2007, and should be launching in Japan shortly! Details on Daikaiju Battle Rush’s game system are unavailable, but the new eye-catching format with the giant monitor play area looks neat! I know I’d love to pull out my favorite Ultra monsters in card form to play it in person! How about you? Join TokuNation.com‘s discussion and let us know!

Courtesy of Toy Reviewer Shishioh.info, we have our first look inside the Ultra Act Ultraman 2.0 figure!   This version Ultraman features better design and articulation then the original Ultra Act figure.

Included with this figure is various hands for different display options, two effect parts to replicated Ultraman’s signature attacks, and an alternate chest piece. Shishioh also takes a look at the Brothers Mantle, sold separately from this release!
