BAKUGAN BUZZ

February 23, 2009 - Activision has revealed to IGN that it has acquired the rights to produce videogames based on the card game and animated television series Bakugan.

The games, in development at Japanese development studio NOW Productions, are being prepped for the fall of 2009 and will be released on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, and PlayStation 2.

Bakugan is a successful cartoon airing on Cartoon Network in the states and on Teletoon in Canada, and it's also a card game that's been awarded Toy of the Year by The Toy Industry Association.

"Bakugan's success in 2008 speaks for itself and we're confident it will be even bigger in 2009," said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. "It is our goal to expand this proven property in a way that both fans and gamers will love."
