Bandai & Sunrise collaborate on new card battle game
Bandai announced "The Fusion Clashes: Gundam Battle Rave", a new card battle game going on sale at the end of December. The project is a collaboration between Bandai and Sunrise featuring original Gundams made through the fusion of a core "Machine Soul" MS card and a "Battle Rave" card representing something else. Examples include the fusion of a Gundam and a rhinoceros beetle (the "Gun Daibeet"), a Gundam and a ninja ("Koga G Shinobi"), and a Gundam and an electric heater ("Gun Hedam"). Kunio Okawara and Hajime Katoki took part as creators of the original designs. Bandai says the target audience is elementary schoolboys and their aim is to sell 40 million cards by the end of March 2009.
