Ooh...

I hope it's better than Dash!

[Xehn]

It's an RPG... so... most likely.

[SkyKnight]

Just curious, how was the quality of the Zoids games in the past? I have never played any of the Zoids game for GBA, GC, none.

Whilst located in the "role-playing" section at gamespot I can't help but wonder if it bears any aspects of the card based arcade game of similar name.

I saw the link for the game a couple of days ago at zoidscore though I didn't really pay it much heed. Frankly I'm mostly interested in what bonus stuff comes with the game. Yesasia and the like don't really say much.

I'm glad the DS isn't Region locked like the Cube is..

I'm going to have to pick this one up. I hope it come swith a cool zoid.. :crosses fingers for Neoblox Berserk Fuhrer:

[Zzgashi]

hmm... i might pick this up instead of zoids dash. hopefully they include more genesis zoids (bio volcano, sword wolf) and maybe some NBZ's

I have all Nintendo Zoids games except the Famicom ones. I would personally recommend them only to Zoids fans since they're pretty mediocre to those who don't follow the shows or fool with the models. But they're good RPGs/fighting/action games overall.

[KAndrw]

I would agree generally with Shenny, except when it comes to Zoids Struggle/Full Metal Crash. Those games (really they're just one game and its sequel on another console) are in my opinion the best fighting games available. Especially to new players, the controls are so much more sensible than the rather ludicrous (when you think about it) strings of commands you have to do to do combos in Tekken, DoA and etc.

Battle Card Game (for Playstation) is pretty good, as turn based card based strategy games go. I wouldn't think there are many better alternatives within that genre...

What bonus stuff ? I confess to having bought the Game Cube Game just for the Ptero Rayse. And I don't even have a Game Cube ...

The only game extras I have are Bloody Deathsaurer art statue from Saga II, Snipe Master BU, Helcat Noir, Pterorayse, and Infinity Leo (though doesn't come with any Nintendo game). None of them were bought with the games.

I want Desert Liger.

Aaaand once again, no US release date -_- Figures. Japan's been awfully stingy about bringing Zoids games to the U.S. Or anywhere else, for that matter.

Let's be realistic here, how well would a Zoids game likely do here? After the flop that was Legacy and Battle Legends. With nothing to help drive the game except memories. When you consider the amount of money put into localising a game for another region then it's very most likely that it's nowhere near worth the resources put into it to please an extremely small amount of fans.

At any rate, pictures:


According to what I've read it does seem to be based off the Arcade game Card Colosseum. Supposed to be an adventure game with something of a focus on "data" (read "cards").

[Zzgashi]

i hope you dont have to have the cards to get different zoids and what-not b/c the only thing i could get is a blade liger AB.

[Ernestotaku]

I seaarched for some images on the internet and it looks very good, it is based on a jan ken po system or scissors paper rock, 3D graphics and it's a mix between legends and gba games: saga, etc

[ligeredge]

It should prove to be okay. I guess. hopfully much better than dash. That game was pretty bad.
