Bakugan, or Bakugan Battle Brawlers, is a Japanese anime television series which first aired in 2007. The whole story is based upon the adventures of creatures called Bakugan, and the brawlers who possess them. It has become quite popular in North America and a large portion of Europe.

The premise is that in an alternate but parallel world named Vestroia, an evil and powerful Bakugan named Naga tries to absorb all of the energy from the balanced cores of power which maintain peace and harmony on Vestroia. He absorbs too much power from the negative energy core called the Silent Core, which of course only furthers his evil intentions. This also forces Wavern, a good Bakugan, to absorb the positive energy from the remaining core called The Infinity Core.

The first season starts off with six friends who find strange metallic cards that have fallen to earth all the way from Vestroia itself. They decide to name themselves the Bakugan Battle Brawlers. Subsequent shows and seasons explore the interactions of the battle brawlers Dan, Shun, Runo, Marucho, Julie, Alice. More characters and battle brawlers join the main characters throughout the different seasons, helping them learn more about the origin of the Bakugan, Vestroia, and the continuing struggle against Naga and his minions.

There is a lot of Bakugan merchandise, anywhere from alarm clocks to watches, and everything in between. A wide range of games for various game consoles have also been released. Of course there is also the strategy game called Bakugan, developed by Sega Toys. The game can become quite involved with many variations on play, cards and players. There are also several styles of play, from regular to Big Game style play, which essentially doubles the card counts players use, and the number of Gate cards a player must capture in order to win is also doubled.

One of the most popular games based on the Bakugan series is still the Nintendo DS called Bakugan Battle Brawlers. Bakugan also won the 2009 Property of the Year award from the Toy Industry Association. Along with the many console games, there is also Bakugan Dimensions, an online version of the Bakugan strategy game, which went into beta testing in June of 2010. In September of 2010, Nelvana Entertainment announced a fourth series of Bakugan Battle Brawlers titled “Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge”, ending the speculation that the series was finished.

So if you just like the show, the online game, or prefer to battle it out with your friends with your very own battle brawlers on your basement floor, Bakugan has you covered, and continues to provide great adventures and fun year after year.

The Bakugan Battle Brawlers video game was released on October 20, 2009 for several platforms: PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS. It was based on the original series as you can see from the opening video above: the tutorial fight has the opponent from the very first episode.

In the game, you start as a brand-new Bakugan brawler who works their way to the top of the Ultimate Battle Tournament by defeating various opponents and their creatures. It’s played in a similar manner to the real-life game, where you throw your cards onto the battlefield and then shoot them onto cards until two monsters are on the same card. Once that happens they fight to the death!

There are two kinds of matches: one-off battles at a park, and actual tournaments. Between these matches, you can upgrade your existing Bakugan, buy new ones, manage your deck, and purchase G-Power cards for the next fight.

Of course, what would a game like this without friends to play against? All the platforms (including the DS) offer multiplayer options. Review for the game are fairly average. If you enjoy the TV series the game (on all the platforms) is sure to please, but there are some liberties taken to make gameplay smoother, and more advanced players may be able to finish the challenges quite quickly.
