Beyblade Metal Masters Now Available for Nintendo DS
KONAMI Brings Back Popular Videogame Based on Animated Television Series to Nintendo DS™ Handheld Systems
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Nov 15, in the year of our Lord
2011 – Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today
announced BEYBLADE: Metal Masters is now available for the
Nintendo DS™ handheld system. Based on the hugely popular boys
action TV series from Nelvana and d-rights Inc., and a wide
range of Beyblade toys, BEYBLADE: Metal Masters makes its return
on the Nintendo DS™ platform with over 35 different characters
from the animated series.
In BEYBLADE: Metal Masters, players can customize their own
Beyblade tops as they battle it out with characters from the
series in a last-man standing competition in the battle arena.
By timing their attacks, players must keep their Beyblade top
spinning while bringing their opponent's Beyblade top to a
complete stop. Offering many tactical strategies straight from
the series, key attacks from the TV show have been recreated,
such as the powerful 'Starbooster' diving attack to smash into
opposition units, and many more. Wireless 'Battle Modes' lets
users challenge each other with spectacular finishing moves,
making every competition in BEYBLADE: Metal Masters unique.
Along with the standalone game in North America, Konami is
launching four exclusive collector's editions of BEYBLADE: Metal
Masters. Each collector's edition includes a retail-specific
Beyblade top from Hasbro, Inc., and codes to unlock that
specific Beyblade top and its parts within the game. In total,
BEYBLADE: Metal Masters offers hundreds of enhancements to the
user's basic Beyblade top, while experience points are also
accrued by equipping the Beyblade with BEY FORCE and winning
competitions to further strengthen its properties. These
powered-up units can then be used in a variety of multiplayer
modes that complement the social elements of the toy series.
BEYBLADE: Metal Masters is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and
is available now for $34.99 for the collector's edition and
$29.99 for the standalone game on Nintendo DS™.
