Bakugan Video Game Sneak Peek and New Episode Monday

Posted by: Admin in Bakugan Video Game , on September 21st, 2009

The newest Episode has been posted on the watch bakugan tv show page. New Vestroia episode 24, Ultimate Bakugan brings this years season almost to a close as typically animes have 26 episode seasons.

Bakugan Battlefields

You’re already a battle master but when Bakugan: Battle Brawlers releases this fall, you’re going to have to start from the beginning. In the video game there are new battlefields with plenty of secrets and hidden power-ups. Each attribute has its own battlefield and if you’re playing on home turf, your Bakugan will perform better.

Here’s a taste of five of the eight arenas you’ll be battling in.

Aquos
This battlefield is filled with waterfalls and slides. Watch for the floating bubbles, your Bakugan might just get caught and carried away. You could make the most of it by getting extra power-ups that are high up in the air. All around the battlefield you might notice extra power-ups and cards, they’re all along a giant waterslide, but how you get there is a secret.

Subterra
The Subterra battlefield is a sand-swept desert. It can be pretty tricky and if your Bakugan lands in the wrong places, it can be swept away off the edge of the battlefield. Stick to the middle if you’re just going for the gate cards. If you want to chance extra abilities try looking at craters at the corners of the battlefield to give you bonuses and extra height.

Ventus
The Ventus battlefield is pretty intense. A giant tornado is whipping through the middle of the field. You should probably avoid it unless you really want your Bakugan thrown way off course. Look for wind vents that can take you for a ride on the turbulence rail for a jolt all around the battlefield. Use halfpipes to your advantage if you still have some aftertouch left.

Pyrus
The Pyrus battlefield is just asking for trouble. Surrounded by lava that is bleeding onto the battlefield, if your Bakugan touches lava, it will lose G-Power. There are also lava spouts that shoot you up into the air. You could avoid the spout, but maybe you want to take a risk and get the power-ups high in the air. Don’t be afraid to look around, there might be other areas that you’ll stumble upon.

Darkus
The Darkus battlefield may look deceptively simple. You might be so engaged in the battle, you may forget to look around. There are plenty of ramps to get a few power-ups, but if you’re really going to defeat a dark enemy, you’re going to have to concentrate and try everything you can in this field.

Bakugan Video Game Sneak Peek

Posted by: Admin in Bakugan Video Game , on September 11th, 2009

Special Shots
Are you excited about Bakugan Battle Brawlers yet? If you haven’t heard, Bakugan Battle Brawlers will feature special throws for each attribute that will amp up the battle intensity. In addition to home field advantage, you might want to consider what type of Bakugan you collect based on their special shots.

Pyrus Strike
The Pyrus special shot is the Pyrus Strike. Your Bakugan will be surrounded by fire and cause a powerful Sphere Attack if it touches another Bakugan. Good control is needed for this special shot, but if you master it, it’s really easy to get Critical K.O.’s.

Haos Lightning
With this special shot, your Bakugan will keep gaining G-Power as long as it is moving. If you keep gathering power-ups, this could mean a ton of G-Power for your battle.

Aquos Spiral
After you shoot your Aquos Bakugan, with this special shot you can steer as much as you’d like. The aftertouch meter that lets you control the Bakugan while it’s moving will stay full for much longer than regular shots.

Subterra Quake
If your Bakugan stands on a gate card, it will cause a huge earthquake that will damage and reduce the G-Power of other Bakugan on the battlefield. Extremely effective if you’re on the losing side or if your opponent has multiple Bakugan on gate cards.

Ventus Storm
Your Ventus Bakugan will be surrounded by a tornado that will suck up the power-ups on the battlefield. So even if you are not an expert at steering in tricky spots, the Ventus Storm will help you get as many power-ups as you can.

Darkus Phantom

The Darkus special shot is very powerful. It phases your Bakugan out so it can move through other Bakugan and obstacles. If you land on the same card as another Bakugan, it will also steal G-Power from your opponent’s Bakugan.

Bakugan Video Game Beginning Plot

Posted by: Admin in Bakugan Video Game , on August 11th, 2009

Bakugan: Battle Brawlers will soon be coming to a game system near you. You might be wondering how you are going to get into the action in this new Bakugan adventure. Behold, here’s a taste of what you’ll be getting into when Bakugan: Battle Brawers hits shelves this fall.

A New Battle Master

As you play Bakugan: Battle Brawlers you’ll be able to create your own customized character just entering the Bakugan scene. Fear not, Dan, Julie and your favorite characters are here to interact with and battle. You start as a lowly (but enthusiastic) Bakugan player, who’s researched and followed all the best battle brawlers on the Internet. You haven’t had much experience yourself but you know all about how the best players in the world win.

Playing Parkside

You’re strolling through the park and who appears but Shuji claiming he’s going to beat you with his skills. It’s time to face your first of many, many battles. You’re new to actually stepping out on the battlefield, but to give you motivation, Dan comes into the park to let you know he’s on your side. Let’s hope you’ve got what it takes to defeat your first opponent.

A Mysterious Partner

After defeating Shuji, your quest to become a high-ranking Bakugan brawler truly begins. Walking off from your victory, a strange occurrence transpires. Something falls from the sky right in front of you. It looks like a Bakugan, but you’ve never seen it before. He introduces himself as Leonidas. He seems powerful, talented and strangely eager to beat other Bakugans.

The partnership between you and Leonidas is forged. But who is this Bakugan? Is it true he’s from the Doom Dimension? Why does he like competing so much? Why do the Battle Brawlers seem so suspicious of him? You’re going to have to learn who your partner is and hope that you’ll have what it takes to become a world renowned Battle Brawler.
So there you have it, Bakugan Battle Brawlers is filled with incredible Bakugan, your favorite characters and new gate and ability cards never seen before. Enter tournaments and climb the rankings. There’s nothing to stop you. Or is there? You didn’t think there wouldn’t be spiky haired, mask wearing opponents, did you? Perhaps there are even more unexpected brawlers and Bakugan than you know.
