Beyblade: Evolution, the next video game installment of the popular anime, is coming to the Nintendo 3DS later on in 2013. The game is set to use the 3DS’ gyro and motion sensors in order to replicate the physicality of the toys. It’s being published by Rising Star Games, the company previously responsible for bringing No More Heroes, Deadly Premonition, and Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward to North America.
“Beyblade continues to offer an exciting world of interaction between the television series, toys, games and tournament community,” says Colin Bohm, Managing Director of Nelvana Enterprises, the company behind the North American dubs of the anime series. “We are pleased to be partnering with Rising Star Games to bring this engaging new gaming experience to the fans.”
Beyblade: Evolution will directly tie in with the upcoming TV series Beyblade: Shogun Steel, which is also set to launch later on in the year.
