That’s far from the first time they’ve done that. Drake and Sasword also used singular weapons that didn’t become belts to transform, and there were also several times that a non-primary rider’s main item or the primary rider’s final form item came with their weapon (for example, Chaser, Fourze, Wizard, etc).
Of course, it’s also likely that they largely abandoned that practice due to it not being profitable, and I do think it was a bit of a stupid bet on Bandai’s part, but this is still something they’re used to doing. It’s worth noting though, that, iirc, Kabuto performed rather well even with Sasword and Drake using ‘role play weapons to transform’. |

The thing is that since there were no single weapons this time around, technically Saber was actually selling less 'big items' than Zero-One in its first quarter. Swordriver, Gekido, Hayate and Suzune vs Zero-One Driver, Shotriser, Forceriser, dorito sword and suitcase gun. Like I think that is important to note when we talk about Saber pushing out more content than ever -- they didn't actually, they just gave more importance to the content they were putting out.

Does anyone know what they are using for the chips in the DX SworDriver and the Wonder Ride Books? I'm curious if it's NFC or something a phone can read as I was unable to actually scan it with my phone's NFC capabilities.

I do believe they use NFC chips. It makes sense since the candy toy and gashapon Ride Book have no electronics in them at all, but they can still be read by the sword.

That said, if you had a few different WRBs to cross-reference, you could potentially try to decode some features of the data... the kind of project I'd love to play around with if I had the time lol |

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I have an app on my phone that I use to read and write to blank tags. It can read some tags so I kind of assumed it would be able to at least sense the ones from the Wonder Ride Books.
I might have to mess around more and see but that's exactly what I was thinking. I don't really have an end goal, though, and was more curious about what kind of data was being passed around and how it all worked. I wonder if this kind of thing hasn't already been done yet somewhere. Last edited by arkh; 02-15-2021 at 10:46 PM.. |
