How did they hype it up? They literally just made a tweet, then tacked it on to a paper mario livestream. Y'all be tripping
People forget this was WFs blueprint back then, up to Shantae blowing up and their mid 2010s being really good for the company.I guess Wayforward has bills to pay too.
It's great that they're making this kind of work as long as it doesn't negatively impact them.
Heck it could serve as a good way to train newer people to work on bigger 3D projects or IDK.
I mean I can see the value for WF to be involved in the project.

Hell, they were slowly coming back to this and people forgot this was announced months ago...
If this gets more Shantaes, River Cities and Mummys to the mix, let em.
It's your own fault for getting yourself too hyped up over a tweet tbh.Because saying "a game in a franchise WayForward has not done before" creates expectations, and a good social media manager would not have phrased it that way for an anime-licensed game, knowing that a lot of people will have expectations for an entry in a video game franchise.
Tweeting about it in the way that they did will not attract fans of Bakugan, and it will not excite the people who are most likely to tune into Treehouse Live. It was a reveal for the wrong audience, like showing off Kinectimals in the way that MS did.

Maybe wait? Are the games really that important in a pandemic right now?I have no words... THIS was the surprise game???
Nintendo is in bad shape this year. We need a true Direct soon and they better show something interesting. What will be their big game for Christmas? What is coming after Paper Mario?
I'm pretty sure it did actually die sometime in the early 2010s, but apparently has been rebooted somewhat recently.
I'm not sure I'd place it that close. IIRC the original run burned out pretty quickly.I can't be sure because I'm too old but I remember that there was a time when everything was Bakugan. It was not as big as Digimon or Yo-Kai Watch but much more than Monster Rancher.
Something like Pokemon >>>>> Digimon = Yo-Kai Watch > Bakugan >> Monster Rancher.
It's definitely just Shantae spirits.The thread linked in the OP says this game is developed by someone who has a character in Smash. What WayForward character is in smash? I guess maybe they just mean spirits. Which then could be basically anybody in retrospect lol

Was a pretty fun game last time I played it, don't know if it holds up though.
Ehh it was like 20 words tacked on to another announcement. There's no weird messaging here. (But not trying to start an argument. I think we're on the same page here.)Yeah, hype culture is an absolute problem. A huge problem, I totally agree there. But there is also such a thing as weird messaging, and as someone with no expectations going in -- looking at this with no frustration or disappointment and genuinely happy for those who are into it -- this is still a very strange messaging choice in the context of how little information Nintendo is (understandably) choosing to dole out in the current circumstances.

It's 2020, what did you expect exactly?A year with no E3, no direct for months, no announcements outside of paper Mario... and they announce this. Nintendo don't care.

Of course it wasn't going to be a world shattering reveal.
WayForward's primary business until fairly recently was doing tie-in games for kid's media franchises so them doing a Bakugan game now isn't that surprising. I just wish it looked like a better game.
Nintendo.com said:About
Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia is an all-new action role-playing game with an original story that expands on the hit TV series and brings the Bakugan universe to the Nintendo Switch for the very first time. The adventure takes players on the ultimate Bakugan journey as they befriend powerful creatures known as Bakugan, gear up and customize Bakugan teams for fiercely strategic battles, and master their skills to become the Champion of Vestroia. Players can also play online in head-to-head multiplayer.
Key Features
- Master Your Bakugan Fighting Skills – Become Bakugan Brawling heroes through the game's highly competitive and deep Action Battle System as players build their best Bakugan teams. Players can collect Bakugan by befriending them while exploring and completing quests. Level them up by battling in Bakugan Brawls and watch them grow more powerful as they evolve.
- Build the Perfect Team – Assemble three of your strongest Bakugan, each with their own customizable abilities, and equip Baku-Gear to form the ultimate team synergy. Bakugan also come in various Factions, which determines their strengths and weaknesses, adding another layer of depth and strategy to the brawl.
- Varied Environments to Explore – Fully explorable 3D world divided into different districts each with dedicated battle environments. Players can interact with other characters, go on quests, and explore with their Bakugan team through locations such as a sunny waterfront, bustling downtown or a factory riddled with nefarious enemies.
- Take on the World – Test your skills against the world in head-to-head Online Multiplayer Brawls using the Bakugan teams you have trained on your adventure.
Revealing it on a live stream with a super dry presentation was a mistake.
I don't think anyone is surprised that Wayforward is doing this. We're surprised that Nintendo was like "give it a 20 minute segment"WayForward's primary business until fairly recently was doing tie-in games for kid's media franchises so them doing a Bakugan game now isn't that surprising. I just wish it looked like a better game.
