Dai Kaiju Battle Ultra Colosseum - Japanese Preorder

Movie monsters such as Alien Baltan, King Joe Black, Kanegon, Red King, and Dada have been part of Japanese pop culture since the 1950s. Back in the day, Godzilla, Ultraman and Gamera were stars on the silver screen as well as television and they all needed a healthy assortment of enemies to battle. As such, the studios created a spectrum of bizarre creatures with strange powers and even stranger appearances. For example, what abyss did the frog-faced Garamon stumble out of and why was it allowed to live past its first birthday?

To celebrate the ungainly movie monsters of yore, Bandai assembles over 60 monsters and pits them against each other in a 3D fighting game where gargantuan beasts slap, kick, and use fierce powers against each other. The Story Mode allows players to choose a monster and fight a procession of fellow monsters in one-on-one action against the backdrop of a dramatic storyline. There's also a Custom Team Mode where groups of monsters engage in a battle royale and a Battle Mode which allows two players to face off against monsters that are controlled by the COM.

Preorders are welcome to ship on October 16, 2008.
