I'm conflicted because 3 days ago there was a livestream announcement for a mobile game I enjoy.

Now that wouldn't be an issue normally except both are at the same time today!

Guess I'm double streaming.

Unfortunately Best Buy is supposed to be delivering a freezer for me sometime during the stream so I have to miss it. I'm still going to try and do a reaction video for it though... as long as I don't get spoiled >_>

I'm hopeful in just about anything WayForward does so I'm pretty excited (definitely more so than Paper Mario).

That was not at all what I was expecting, but it does fit what they said. I vaguely recall the series.

Bakugan? I'm not sure why they wanted this to be paid attention to, but I guess Warner Bros. Interactive was responsible for this. No wonder why this suddenly showed up on Summer Game Fest.

As far as first full-3D games go, they could have done better, but I understand that WF has to do gruntwork to set bread on the table and stay aloft.

Well i was not expecting this, remember Wayforward are well known and their specialty are making licensed games that are actually good. I mean remember Mummy demastered, batman brave and the bold, and Wendy witch on the GBC


This looks pretty decent.

bakugan were these balls that turned into creatures when you threw them or placed them on a metal surface. it wasn't exactly pokemon though.

WayForward is the developer of the game.

A licensed game like this isn't new to WF so this shouldn't be surprising. I had no expectations going in, and I'm leaving with the same mood. Cool for Bakugan fans I guess, and if there's anything to take out of this, Nintendo thinks of WF as a key partner developer to them, and a good relationship is always a plus.

Yeah, but I get the feeling that WB Interactive obviously had more push than WayForward did in this case. Would have been all the more to admire if I didn't see their logo.

I just wish it was a licensed game I could care about, but good for the little lads, I guess.

This announcement was probably originally supposed to take place in the post Nintendo Direct E3 Treehouse fluff,

Also, let's consider that occasionally there are a few WF-made games that could have been better, like their Silent Hill entry, so I suspect that this is made by their B-team.

Speaking of which, if the insider leak is correct, we should be seeing the originally-planned Direct in 10 days.
