Godzilla will be making his roaring debut onto next gen consoles with a new video game coming out this summer!
For those of us that are anticipating this release, new screenshots have been released courtesy of Bandai Namco Games. Here we see Godzilla himself battling against King Ghidora and Mecha Godzilla.
Godzilla The Game will be released July 1st 2015 for both PS3 and PS4 consoles.
As part of Saban Brands Entertainment‘s super fan group for Power Rangers, the Power Force, we are at times given an exclusive first look at upcoming Power Rangers news and media. Today the members of Power Force were given a file promoting the upcoming iOS and Android mobile card game titled Power Rangers Unite.
This card game will require players to use strategy to defeat your foes and friends allowing you to collect over 250 different cards from all 22 seasons of Power Rangers! On top of that, there will be an all-new story tied to the game bringing together all 22 seasons to really bring about a Morphinominal gaming experience!
Power Rangers Unite is scheduled to release later this year. Do you plan on playing? What characters do you hope to see recognized in the game? Sound off in our discussion thread! Go Go Power Rangers!
You know those things that are all popular here in the United States? We’re talking Skylanders, Disney Infinity and Amiibo, or whatever? Well, Bandai Namco released something very similar in Japan for their popular Kamen Rider series – a game for the PlayStation 3 titled Kamen Rider Summonride, where you can switch between various Kamen Rider characters as you battle hordes and legions of bad guys.
Our good buddy and incredibly famous YouTube Toku Reviewer ZeronXepher will be hosting a live stream via Twitch.TV this week as he plays through the game for he has purchased it. Don’t miss out on what promises to be a fun play through!
Can he pull in more viewers than the Power Rangers Super Megaforce Extended Legendary Battle? Probably – stats show no one watched it on television! Be sure to follow @ZeronXepher on Twitter and be sure to ”Like” ZeronXepher’s Reviews on Facebook!
Hail Ferbus!
Another new video game is on the way for Kamen Rider fans!
With thanks to The Tokusatsu Network for the heads up, SummonRide uses a variety of Rider figurines through gameplay, similar to the Skylanders franchise. Placing a figure over the Rider Gate makes that character appear in-game. Character attacks can also be augmented through Chips sold alongside the figurines. Sets of 2 chips & 2 figurines will retail for 1800 Yen apiece while other Chips will be sold at the 1500 yen pricepoint.
The Kamen Riders used in SummonRide are categorized by elemental-based powers: Fire, Water, Wind, Light and Darkness. Each element set contains at least 3 Kamen Riders, with additional Riders presumably joining the lineup after the initial release.
Kamen Rider: SummonRide will be released this December for the PlayStation 3 and WiiU video game consoles! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details! Thanks again to our friends at TokusatsuNetwork.com for the heads up!
We haven’t talked much about it here, but there’s this awesome indie game being created, thanks to a crowd-funded Kickstarter, called Chroma Squad! The premise behind the game was that you created your own Super Sentai television show – complete from picking the Rangers, the actors, and played the game in a semi-RPG style to gain ratings, more funding, and unlock cool things as you progressed through your created season. The game was successfully funded through Kickstarter on August 21st, 2013 at $97,148 with a goal of $55,000.
However, the villain that faces the Chroma Squad right now isn’t digital or even made of rubber – it’s made of suits that represent Saban Brands, owners of the Power Rangers intellectual property across the globe, which of course, is adapted from Super Sentai. According to an E-mail sent to backers of the Kickstarter, Saban Brands has threatened to sue the developers if they continue to release the game … unless they agree to split royalties. Now, as many note, Chroma Squad is more based on Super Sentai than it is anything Power Rangers, but alas – Saban Brands does own the adaption rights nearly worldwide for Super Sentai.
Either way, the fan community is split – those who followed and backed the Chroma Squad project are angry. There are others who didn’t follow it because they weren’t interested and they don’t seem to care either way. This only begs the question – why can’t Saban Brands go after something that calls itself Power Rangers, has those involved referring to themselves as Power Rangers (even to sick kids in hospitals), has names directly taken from Power Rangers, and has potentially ripped off hundreds of fans for tens of thousands of dollars? Especially instead of something that doesn’t refer to itself as such and was going to be made simply to give a lot of video game fans who enjoy Super Sentai and Power Rangers a chance to live out their imagination? If you need some help Haim Saban, we’re more than happy to point you in the right direction.
Sound off #RangerNation … is Saban Brands going too far? Or are they justified in their decision? We’d love to hear your thoughts! Stay tuned for further updates on this story.
Another new promo for the upcoming “Kamen Rider Battride War II” video game is now online! In addition to some impressive gameplay footage, this latest preview features the latest musical entry from the Kamen Rider Girls- “Break The Shell!”
Battride War II will be released on June 26th! Until then be sure to join in our ongoing Discussion Thread and share your thoughts on this exciting digital action!
This was a little surprise this evening. Nick.com has launched their latest web browser game, Power Rangers Super Megaforce Legacy, where you take control of the Super Megaforce Power Rangers characters and battle your way through stages, gathering key components to purchase additional Ranger Keys to unlock more powers.
I personally had some issues with the game – mainly that I suck at it! But maybe you can do better. Click here to check out the game! And also be sure to enjoy the random error in the listing of keys – the Magna Defender is now, apparently, the Quantam Lost Galaxy Ranger. The music is really awesome though – so check it out and let us know what you think!
Toei’s official Youtube Channel has put up a brief preview for a Kamen Rider Gaim 3DS downloadable title to be released March 26th price details not revealed at this time.
The game appears to be a sidescrolling platformer featuring Gaim driving through Helheim Forest, killing InVess and collecting various LockSeeds to clear obstacles (the Pineapple LockSeed is shown to smash through bricks blocking your path). Seems like a fresh and inventive use of Gaim’s powers in a digital environment!
New details about the up coming Battride War sequel have surfaced.
From the latest issue of Futaba, we now know that Battride War 2 will cover Fateful Sengoku Battle, Episode Final, and Paradise Lost movies.
As such, it’s been confirmed that Ryugen, Bujin Gaim, Ryuga, Autovaijin Battle Mode and Gaim’s Ichigo (strawberry) and Pineapple Arms should be making appearances in some fashion.
Actors Takamasa Suga will reprise his role in voice form as both Ryuki and Ryuga along with Handa Kento as Faiz.
The first teaser video for recently-announced video game crossover “Kamen Rider: Battride War II” is now online!
While no new gameplay secrets are revealed just yet, this does give us a close look at some of the returning Riders in this installment:
“Battride War II” will be released for the Playstation 3 and WiiU game consoles. The basic release will be on July 26th for 7120 Yen while a second Premium TV Edition with several additional songs will be released in August for 10450 Yen
