That means Battle Strikers idea was....better? Or at least innovative compared to beyblade.
I think they innovated in totally different ways. Beyblade innovated on the design and construction aspect; Battle Strikers innovated on the concept of control and two players fighting each other.
I consider the lack of control in Beyblade a feature, not a negative. I spoke about this with Beylon:
Quote:Beylon: At its core, Battle Strikers addresses the issue of "control" in battling spinning top games - generally speaking, how many Beyblade players suffered from (or complained of) a lack of control?
Bey Brad: I don’t think that many players complained about this. It was always a “wouldn’t it be nice?†kind of thing. After all, in the anime – how most kids got into Beyblade – we see that the Bladers can control their Beyblades. There were always the Remote Control Beyblades, but I don’t think anyone ever really liked those.
The magnetic control was a seriously innovative solution to what was not a problem, but a lacking gameplay element. It’s easily the most compelling part of the toyline.
... Battle Strikers is a much more mentally and physically demanding game than Beyblade. It's almost like sparring with spinning tops! If you don't feel like exerting that much effort, the Beyblade stadiums take care of the battling for you. It's easy to see the lack of control in Beyblade as a flaw, but it's not; it's a totally different gameplay dynamic. It makes the game way more addictive and accessible. There's a really nice feedback loop that doesn’t transfer over to a game where you have so much control.
Yeah but Battle Strikers were an innovation many do us dream for, to be able to control our Beyblades.
If they manage to make an RC series that makes the RC function more compact then I can see a new hope for beyblade.
Wait, remind me again, didn't you work for Mega Bloks?
