E309 Media | Bakugan Battle Brawls Onto DS/Wii

To be totally honest, we don't really know what Bakugan is, aside being aware that it's an anime series that has become popular despite having a completely unfathomable plotline to the casual outsider. Like us. It involves something to do with putting together a mystical artifact and metal cards falling from the sky. Are we getting old?

Anyway, Activision are bringing out a game based upon it, Bakugan Battle Brawlers. It's coming to DS and Wii in the near future and seems to involve big things hitting other big things, or at least doing some kind of battle, so it could be quite good. We hear there's some kind of brawler customisation and multiplayer combat - and could that be a Metroid influence in the second screen below? We're going to be quiet now and just post some screens.

The rest are in the media album. Here's the album for the DS version.

Are you looking forward to this? Are you a fan of Bakugan? Can you give us a legible plot summary in no more than 20 words?
