Bakugan Games

Updated October 2026. We added the games released after 2010, noted which online games have shut down, and linked sold-price data for collectors.

Bakugan started as a game you play on the floor: roll your Bakugan onto metal Gate Cards and capture three to win ^[1]. It soon jumped to consoles too. Here’s every game.

The 2009 game introduced an original Bakugan, Leonidas ^[2]. The DS Collector’s Edition came with an exclusive White Naga ^[4][5].

Can I still play them?

Disc and cartridge games still work on their original consoles. Bakugan Dimensions is gone, so old DNA codes no longer do anything ^[3]. See Bakugan Codes. Sold prices for the classic games are on PriceCharting ^[6].

The tabletop game

Want the real thing? See How To Play Bakugan. The classic game also works with up to four players, or a longer six-Gate version ^[4].
