Kamen Rider: SummonRide coming to PS3!

Developer: Bandai Namco

Platform: PS3, Wii U

Genre: Action-Adventure

Release: December 2014

 

With Skylanders and Disney Infinity having proven for the last few years that there’s something to this whole collectible NFC toy game business and Nintendo’s Amiibo line coming out later this year, Bandai Namco has seen fit to join the fray with its own take on the concept in the form of Kamen Rider: SummonRide for the PlayStation 3 and Wii U.

 

The basic idea of the whole affair is similar to those other efforts. By putting specially made Kamen Rider figures onto a proprietary device that connects to the console, players can summon the figure into the game and run around doing the sorts of things one would expect a Kamen Rider character to do. Each figure also has one of five elemental affinities attached it, specifically fire, water, wind, light, or dark. As in Skylanders and Disney Infinity, the difference in properties among figures means that players will have to strategically switch out figures on the fly in order to overcome various obstacles present within the game. Some doors that are present within levels, for example, can only be opened by figures of a specific element. Figures can also link together to amplify their powers even more.

 

In addition to the figures themselves, players can also buff up their current character by placing one of two types of chips onto the device with the figure. One type, the Kyouka Ride Chip, lets characters transform into new forms, while another, the Nakama Ride Chip, summons a support character to help out for a limited period of time.

Well personally i do like the Skylander concept but Nintendo line is the only that really encourages collecting because the amibo characters are characters that you i do care about. Skylanders figures are well done but the designs are mostly kinda bad and i have only bought 1 extra figure and all the others are from starter packs.

 

Disney Infinite line also fails because some of the characters look just odd and as far as i know there's only one classic figure which is Mickey dressed as a wizard. I don't want to own pixar characters as figurines (i do like most of the movies but i don't really care to own pixar figurines) or characters like Jack Sparrow.

 

And i do not give a shit about Kamen Riders so i pass this game also (i do doubt that it will even get Western release)

Based on your avi though you like a show that completely ripped off Kamen Rider.
