Exciting news for collectors this morning!

Bandai Namco Holdings has announced the acquisition of a controlling stake (80% of shares) in toy distributor Nippon Imports LLC– best known under their trade name Bluefin. A new subsidiary will be developed as a result- currently titled Bandai Namco Collectibles– and operations are tentatively scheduled to begin in January 2019.

The motive for this purchase is to strengthen Bandai’s merchandise sales in the North American toy market, taking advantage of Bluefins’ extensive experience with USA distribution and collector events.

This is definitely an exciting time for Bandai fans! A new deal could mean greater access to Japanese exclusives for US fans, OR some positive changes to current distribution methods.

Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this exciting business deal!

This December, Kamen Rider Climax Fighters will release around Asia for the Playstation 4 video game console. For those of you with a desire to play – an English subtitle release is available for pre-order via Play-Asia, and since the Playstation 4 is region free, it will work on your own system.

Bandai Namco uploaded a new video today detailing the characters in the game. On top of the characters we already know about, a large number of secondary Kamen Riders (along with their secondary and third forms) have been revealed. They are as follows:

– Kamen Rider Brave
– Kamen Rider Specter
– Kamen Rider Mach
– Kamen Rider Baron
– Kamen Rider Beast
– Kamen Rider Meteor
– Kamen Rider Birth
– Kamen Rider Accel
– Kamen Rider Black

Check out the full video preview below!

We’ve reported earlier that the upcoming Kamen Rider Climax Fighters game would be receiving a southeastern Asia localization, meaning the game would have English subtitles and menus. The first pre-orders are beginning to pop up for that version of the game.

Play-Asia.com currently has the game available for pre-order at $53.99 prior to shipping. Simply click here to pre-order Kamen Rider Climax Fighters.

Kamen Rider Climax Fighters releases on December 7th, 2017 for the Playstation 4.

Kamen Rider Climax Fighters was announced not too long ago for the Playstation 4. It’s a fighting game featuring all titular 19 Hesei-era Kamen Riders – from Kamen Rider Kuuga to Kamen Rider Build. Are there more? Possibly – we have to wait and see. But the big news coming today, courtesy of Playstation Lifestyle, is that Kamen Rider Climax Fighters will be the first main Kamen Rider game to receive localizations throughout Asia.

Why is that news? Well, because Bandai Namco localizations in certain areas of Asia – such as Southeastern Asia – receive the game in English. That’s right – it looks as if Bandai Namco will release the game in Southeastern Asia in the English language (text-wise, at least).

While a release of Kamen Rider Climax Fighters in the West is absolutely slim at best, a chance for fans to import the game in English at the very least seems high. We’ve included pictures courtesy of Playstation Lifestyle in the article so check it out!

For those out there looking to get the perfect stocking stuffer for that special Toku fan, there’s Super Hero Generations: a crossover title involving Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and Mobile Suit Gundam which was released on PS3 and PS Vita just last month.

For those still on the fence on picking this title up, multiple videos have found their way onto Youtube. Of note, we have the game’s opening cinematic with Psychic Lover singing the opening theme song

Along with that, we have a couple of gameplay videos of note we have the very first stage of the game which introduces Ultraman Tiga and Kamen Rider Den-O and the stages that introduce Ultraman Ginga and Kamen Rider OOO, the OOO stage seems to be following the Megamax plot with some slight alteration:
