I never understood the hatred the Skylanders style of games gets. It's fun, kids love collectable gimmicks, and now they're taking popular franchises and mixing it in.

I can kind of understand the frustration some people would have with it though.

You're basically paying cash for content that should've been made avalaible in the game to begin with.

I'mma grab that OOO-Agito pack :lol

That's akin to saying Kyoryuger's Gabryuchanger should have included every Jyudenchi, though.

Be it in toys or games, designers always withhold content to get the most money (And this isn't a jab at DLC, btw).

Anyway, I'm not gonna play the game, but I'd love to own a Blade, Kabuto, OOO, and maybe a Gaim...

A lot of American publishers and developers didn't want to touch the Xbox either, for what it's worth. That article dresses it up, but people have a lot more in common than you might think.

At any rate, what's the game going to play like? Is it also gonna a direct ripoff of Skylanders, or something else?

Ordinarily I'd be hating on the gimmick because I've always felt the Skylanders model to be a really asinine character select screen that keeps demanding money, but, given that it's Kamen Rider... it somehow seems right.

As long if it's fun then I will pre-order it on Play Asia. Good thing I still have my PS3.

Is this like Skylanders and Disney Infinity then?

Considering Blade's ending and his element is lightning, I can see why they have him as Darkness. And Decade...well, we all know why Narutaki yells "ONORE DIKEIDO!".

I'm not really into the whole Skylanders/Disney Infinity thing, but this looks like it could be pretty cool. I'm definitely interested, but I hope the figures are priced fairly reasonably.

Looks cool
