[Review] Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia
Posted on 4 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: November 3, 2020
Developer: WayForward
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
The last time Bakugan saw any sort of video game outside of mobile devices was back in 2011 with Rise of the Resistance on DS. Almost nine years later, to the dot, the series is back with Champions of Vestroia. I don’t think Bakugan ever had that sort of grip or longevity something like Yu-Gi-Oh! or even Beyblade has, but it’s gathered enough of a following to warrant continued support of the property so many years later, especially now with the new Switch game. The anime continues on with Bakugan: Armored Aliance following a sort of “reboot” with Battle Planet prior to that, so Champions of Vestroia just adds to a big push from SEGA Toys and Spin Master for the series to return to the forefront where it once sat as Property of the Year in 2009.

Now that Pikmin 3 Deluxe is here and the full credits are available, we have more information about the game’s production. Although Nintendo was involved, it was actually another studio that led the way on development.
Eighting was largely responsible for Pikmin 3 Deluxe. The company took charge for the actual port as well as the game’s new additions.
Nintendo and Eighting have collaborated a few times in the past. Previously, Eighting contributed to Kirby Star Allies and Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Welcome amiibo. The team also worked with Capcom on Monster Hunter games and developed Zoids Wild: King of Blast for Switch.
