Through publisher FuRyu, a new Beyblade game is on the way to 3DS. Beyblade Burst will be released in Japan on November 10 for 5,780 yen. An official teaser site is located here.

Beyblade Burst is based on the anime and comic of the same name. According to an Amazon Japan listing, it follows the plot of the show since you encounter and battle the same characters. There are over 25 characters from the anime, six of which are playable.

Battles probably play out like the other games. You can move your Beyblade around and unleash flashy special attacks. When you’re not battling, Beyblade Burst lets you explore the city and challenge other Bladers.

Ultimately, the goal is to collect parts and become the strongest Blader. You can customize your Beyblade with different parts – apparently there are 3,000 possible combinations, stretching to 10,000 if you include different colors. You’ll also be able to battle others locally, and a “gacha” StreetPass mode will be included.

Story of Seasons is known for its strong ties to handhelds. In the future though, perhaps it could migrate to consoles. Producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto is aware of interest in North America in having it happen, and if fans continue to express interest, the developers may “start being more concerned about that.”

Hashimoto said in a recent interview:

So first of all, we get more of the North American fans’ voices that they want this game to go to this console. If we get a lot more feedback like that, maybe we will start being more concerned about that. We choose the platform depending on the number of users on that console. We have younger generations of fans like kids playing Story of Seasons. Kids like to have a handheld system, so we tend to focus on that userbase.

The latest game in the series, Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns hits the 3DS next year.
