I still think they missed an opportunity during the first generation of beyblades. Instead of taking inspiration from the real physical spinning tops, they could have used the anime as their inspiration with crazy stadiums and precise movement. I'll always remember the Great Wall of China stadium, or the satellite dish stadium, and then there were battles that would take place in the streets too. From what I can tell the modern shows seem to focus on realistic bowl stadiums, so it looks like the era for making the games unique has passed sadly, its safer to just copy the physical tops
As someone who played all the Japanese Metal series games I can indeed confirm these things: - Japanese Metal Fusion and English Metal Fusion are quite different. EN one features small scenarios for all characters but JP one fully focuses on one long story entirely centered about Sora which is really cool in my opinion. - Bakushin Susanow game and Metal Fusion are entirely two different games. Bakushin Susanow has a whole different storyline and features Beyblades from the Metal Masters season such as Galaxy Pegasus.
I love how peaceful Beyblade creators are. The fact that you two can collaborate so well really adds to the quality of this video. It’s definitely something alot of other creators could learn from
Hi speedrun world record holder here from two of the Japanese game boy advance games and also 2nd place in the PlayStation beyblade game just wanna say this is epic and definitely not here to gloat
i wish the soundtrack they had in that game and ultimate blader jam (they share the same soundtrack for the most part iirc) was remade with real instruments. i see so much potential in it
Well, you gotta stay ahead of the curve. TCG's are the same way. Newer stuff is almost always gonna win. Power creep is frustrating but makes sense from a business perspective.
Thank you for the memories! I completely forgot about ultimate blader jam! 13:08 I played that so much when I was a kid. at the time you didnt realize that it sucked, you just had fun playing it lol. I remember how stressed out I would be when I would fall off 🤣
You know, this was the video from you I was recommended which lead me to your channel, which lead me to finally ordering some X beys, next week hopefully they left Japan on Thursdays, and it still surprises me that the first Beyblade thing was a weird Pokémon clone. Also it turns out that Germany gets Hasbro releases, so I could use German Amazon to get some.
Imagine all the games that could be released with the current technology for the plastic gen.. Not fair !!! Btw there's another game for plastic gen which is called Top Blade V by Sonokong. It was for arcade and PC if I'm not wrong.
I had Let it Rip on ps1 and had a little fun but was kinda letdown. Would have loved it to have the design of the first GBC or GBA game with a story but with ps1 visuals
The plastic gen arcade game that plugged directly into your TV was actually pretty great. You could control the movement of your beyblade with the launchers wheel. If you had two (or a friend had one) they could plug in together and battle each other on screen. That human vs mode unlocked a bunch of characters and their blades (from V-Force era I believe) that were otherwise very difficult to unlock. There was also a launch power mode that we spent almost as much time playing just to see who was the strongest launcher.
I very specifically remember a beyblade rpg on GBA, definitely was localized, and you played as tyson kinda following the general storyline of the show. In fact, might get an emulator to play it right now
I remember the first generation beyblade toys. You'd make them yourself like they did in the first season of the show and the parts were actually metal! The heaviness and power was incredible, it was awesome! Idk what happened to mine but i usually broke my toys in general as a kid, so...
I remember Counter Leone being bundled with the Wii game, and Cyber Pegasus being one of the common DS remeases. Maybe in France we had it closer to the Japanese release.
Idk if you’ll see this comment but bro I appreciate u man are birthday both July 1999 and jst love beyblade but wen I was 14 my pops made me get rid of em saying they was for kids nd I need to grow up i still watch the shows to myself but jst miss playing and customizing beys seeing im not the only adult to enjoy this im going to get back into it i needed to see this video especially from someone my age keep pushing out the content my guy
for the beyblade evolution game, its technically a us version of the 4d x zero g but its not really the same game. They both use the same layout and gameplay but the english one is very simple and the story mode is really short. The japanese one also allows you to play as pretty much every 4d character and can even play as Zyro and Shinobu. They even had a zero g mode where you xould even obtain dark knight dragooon.
@@nuc literally man metal masters beyblade im now 26 i remember yoyr clear stadium w the sign underneath and your unboxings man, you used to be my plug🙏🙏🙏
Man I haven't seen this channel since the Polta unboxing since I was like 14 or 15. Wild how this just popped up haha well I'm here again and I do love the games sadly the PS1 game was one of my favorite terrible games but it didn't stop me haha.
Actually japanese Beyblade metal fusion(Metal Fight Beyblade : Bakutan! Cyber Pegasis) have full story, The plot is similar to the NA version Soro story, but more complete, In story mode you can only play as Sora and play various events through the map(battle, buy beyblade parts and proceed the plot etc.) but NA version(Beyblade metal fusion DS) replaced the whole story mode with a arcade mode(Although the game named this mode are story mode). And 2 bakushin game is not same, japanese version is completely new game, but NA version is just a little reskins of Beyblade metal fusion DS I've always been frustrated that west version hasn't released the full story
I don't know where they came from but some company made bootleg beyblades fully out of metal, this was during gen 1, they could rip into your skin. They spun for like 5 minutes or longer those were the best
V-Force Ultimate Blader Jam is a pretty good game. And there are battles. It's just not a fighting game or an RPG. It's more of a game based on the player's skills.
My dream for Xone is that it plays almost exactly like the gamecube game except with customization and at least some semblance of story. Unfortunately the way it looks in the promo is scarily close to how the hasbro app looks and it's very much in the realm of "games that have beyblades in them" rather than just a "beyblade game".
I remember getting the GBA VForce game as a kid and being thrown off that it wasnt battling, but because I couldn't get a new game since I got that one I played it a bunch and actually ended up really enjoying it.
Beyblade Evolution was definitely made by people who had no idea about Beyblade because they end up using the Plastic-Gen Beyblade logo on the banner advertisements you see in the background during battle
I have G Revolution for the gba. Its very fun and actually a bit on the hard side at the start if youre not used to the gameplay. I only wish it had a harder mode since it gets too easy once you start getting fancy parts.
could someone make a simple online game where, like in the past, with a few strings and building disks you can fight other players and collect points like osu
It's hilarious i played so many of these without understanding anything that's happening. Takes me back to beating dbz on gba without upgrading my moves 😂😂 i got to the end, and my friend said you were still playing that😅
I used to have Cyber Pegasus, and then one day like 3 three years the fusion wheel broke mid battle Edit: Also I only had four complaints of burst 0 1. Not every character was in it, like a handful from the first season, and no Shu with Cho-Z Spriggan, Valt with Cho-Z Valkyrie, we can't use Aiga with Extend Plus, Phi with Dead Phoenix, and Aiga with Cho-Z Achilles 2. Every bey we get is stuck with the color it is originally given and can't get the special code ones through English language 3. No story mode. 4. I'd have liked the spike stadium
G-Revolution was so good that even though my GBA cart was broken and couldnt save, i would just spend hours playing as far as I could until I'd have to turn my GBA SP off. There are SO MANY bugs in the game though. Daichi and Kenny's Beyblades can't be repaired in the Tournament Arc, so they're basically useless after a few matches.
G revolution on the gba was great. Played it to death as a kid, and have revisitted it a few times as an adult. The audio is low quality because gba limitations but there are still tonnes of sound effects and music which make the game engaging and fun
There was one more game from the plastic era, but you can only play it using the shooter they had in G-Revolution. I don't really know the name of the game, but I know it exists cuz my older sister bought the shooter for me when she was still working in Japan. And yes, the shooter can both be used as a physical shooter as well as the controller for the game...
I loved V Force Ultimate Blader Jam growing up, but yeah, I didn't have much choice in video games... It's really just Monkeyball But yeah, G Revolution for GBA was really really good
2002 era Beyblade lmao. I was 13 at the time. We were so cringey cause the Anime was airing and we were pretending to be the anime characters with my group of friends with our Beyblades. I could remember walking with a buddy and us talking about our personalities and how it was aligning with the characters of the anime. Funny thing is that I still have my OG Beyblades from that time. I just kept them and never really used them for anything. We did buy knock offs and that's what we used for playing. I'd rather see like a $5 knock off break than my $20 original one break cause my buddy used a knock off against the original ones. It was during the time where knock offs had those flints to make the things spark and absurd oversized everything. Some of them were even fully metal which were too heavy for the knock off cheap launchers lol.
I wish I was old enough to remember that time. From what I’ve heard, that’s when Beyblade was its most social. Every generation has gotten bigger in terms of total fans… but the cultural effect that the plastic gen had probably won’t ever be replicated
@@nuc Oh yeah definitely. The social aspect of playing Beyblade during that time was different considering we didn't have social media like how it is today. At the most we had IRC and maybe some forums here and there but not to the scale of today, so people really had to meet up to talk about the hobby. The anime for it was also total hype as everybody I knew was watching it. You were considered not cool if you didn't watch that series lol. The thing is though that the popularity of Beyblade I feel is still bigger in Asia cause I got a friend that live there that goes to tournaments. Here in North America especially where I live, there's barely any and if there is one, it's really far for a lot of people and not consistent. You'd see more Yugioh/Magic/Pokemon tournaments every week rather than Beyblade.
you cant complain about performance issues and unintuitive design if youre playing everything on an emulator instead of the console it was made for lol no disrespect
I remember playing the Beyblade metal fusion game on my DS a very long time ago. And then I walked the game and I have no idea where it went, but I’m going to find it one day and I will play the crap out of it even though I already completed it.
I don't want to be that person, but I have to points this out. In japan, there was a 3ds game for Zero G that seems to be a sequel to Beyblade: Evolutions.
@@nuc Not just the same game, but the JP version also has the Zero-G content as well, and I think the game has separate modes for 4D and Zero-G (they're basically the same gameplay-wise outside of the Zero-G stadium and using the Zero-G beys instead).
These titles arent that long. Natsuiro Haisukūru ★ Seishun Hakusho ~ Tenkō shonichi no ore ga osananajimi to saikai shitara hōdō buin ni sa rete ite gekisha shōnen no hibi sukūpu dai renpatsu de igai to motemotenanoni nazeka maimemorī ga pantsu shashin bakkari to iu-den mi to mukiainagara kangaeru hito natsu no shima no gakuen seikatsu to sekirarana koi no yukue.~ This roughly translates to English as: Summer-Colored High School ★ Adolescent Record - A Summer At School On An Island Where I Contemplate How The First Day After I Transferred, I Ran Into A Childhood Friend And Was Forced To Join The Journalism Club Where While My Days As A Paparazzi Kid With Great Scoops Made Me Rather Popular Among The Girls, But Strangely My Camera Is Full Of Panty Shots, And Where My Candid Romance Is Going.
the list is missing a special mention tk the best beyblade game (that isn't actually beyblade) - spiral warriors. Takara Tomy should have hired those guys to make an official beyblade game for mobile
Not gonna lie the idea of a Beyblade creature collector is kind of sick and would be a fun concept for a future generation of beyblade after X.
10/10 would play with much enthusiasm
I still think they missed an opportunity during the first generation of beyblades.

@@valentinoesparza2399 collaborative stuff is always my favorite! Thank you for the nice comment 🔥
@nuc you missed the one with the actual launcher that plugged into the AC adaptors on the TV. Shit was epic. You controlled it through the launcher
Hi speedrun world record holder here from two of the Japanese game boy advance games and also 2nd place in the PlayStation beyblade game just wanna say this is epic and definitely not here to gloat
it’s okay i’d never stop gloating if i had the same WRs. the amount of time & dedication & patience it takes to do that is insane & worthy of bragging
Grevolution is hands down the optimal beyblade game experience
It was the best, i still remember this till today
i wish the soundtrack they had in that game and ultimate blader jam (they share the same soundtrack for the most part iirc) was remade with real instruments. i see so much potential in it
The sound track itself is really nice and has hype to it, would be amazing if it got remastered with higher quality
It’s my favorite but I think the Metal Masters game on DS is better
Have a lot of nostalgia towards Beyblade V-Force (game cube), played it with my uncle who owns the game, was a lot of fun.
Lots of nostalgia for me too 😭
Franchise literally started as a videogame
Honestly, this is something that I consider as very helpful to the beyblade community, just like the Pokemon games which led to the anime
Ain't no way you said Ultimate Blader Jam was bad, that was my favorite as a kid! I still go back to play it, it's soooo good 😭
Yeah, Ultimate Blader Jam is a great game!
Me and the boys use to send all those Beyblade TCGers to pound town out on the school yard back in the day. We're still doing it 20 years later.
Ultimate Dragoon is a very underrated Protagonist Bit Beast/Avatar
Beyblades were a blast until the rich kids showed up with their metal ones and an expensive launcher and destroyed you
Well, you gotta stay ahead of the curve. TCG's are the same way. Newer stuff is almost always gonna win. Power creep is frustrating but makes sense from a business perspective.
@@nuc except I was like 5 and got whatever parents came home with
The fact that Roblox has better beyblade games is pure comedy to me
I… wish I could argue with that 😭
The language barrier never stopped me from playing those GBA Gen 1 era games as a teenager. Loved them. The attack animations went hard
I really hope the new Beyblade X game is not just a reskin version of the Burst one
Thank you for the memories!
I completely forgot about ultimate blader jam! 13:08 I played that so much when I was a kid.
at the time you didnt realize that it sucked, you just had fun playing it lol.
I remember how stressed out I would be when I would fall off 🤣
I specifically remember a plug n play beyblade game that you actually let it rip and was really fun

Not gonna lie we really need a good open world Beyblade and ben 10 game for us . Yes we deserve it
Great video! Although I definitely recommend playing the plug-and-play game, I remember really enjoying it as a kid. I think you will too
Should have called this video 'all the reasons I didn't play these beyblade games'.
My hero, make me remember the games to play them again
bro we used to play combat arms and make beyblade videos together back in the day cool to see you still make videos bro!

I remember really enjoying the GBA G Revolution game as a kid, though after I beat it I managed to get myself locked into a pretty nasty bug lol.
the let it rip during its release was phenomenal. miss those childhood days
They need to make a game for next gen consoles. Imagine a fully ray-traced beyblade game running at 60-120 fps.
Unfortunately the gameplay is always mediocre at best for beyblade games. Great graphics never make up for substandard gameplay

Natsuiro Haisukūru ★ Seishun Hakusho ~ Tenkō shonichi no ore ga osananajimi to saikai shitara hōdō buin ni sa rete ite gekisha shōnen no hibi sukūpu dai renpatsu de igai to motemotenanoni nazeka maimemorī ga pantsu shashin bakkari to iu-den mi to mukiainagara kangaeru hito natsu no shima no gakuen seikatsu to sekirarana koi no yukue.~ This roughly translates to English as: Summer-Colored High School ★ Adolescent Record - A Summer At School On An Island Where I Contemplate How The First Day After I Transferred, I Ran Into A Childhood Friend And Was Forced To Join The Journalism Club Where While My Days As A Paparazzi Kid With Great Scoops Made Me Rather Popular Among The Girls, But Strangely My Camera Is Full Of Panty Shots, And Where My Candid Romance Is Going.
G-Rev is a top 10 game of all time for me, I complete it once or twice a year and do nuzlock type play throughs
Plastic gen is just so perfect
the list is missing a special mention tk the best beyblade game (that isn't actually beyblade) - spiral warriors. Takara Tomy should have hired those guys to make an official beyblade game for mobile
When I saw this video I had to click and subscribe. I love beyblade. My parents bought me the PS1 game. I used to play that game alot
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
