"Losing is for losers" Yeah, people also died when they are killed...

Defeating Masamune almost instantly is pretty accurate to the anime

“Your childhood was valid”. Look KBash. I know you’re not gaslighting me. But I’m telling you that Yugioh Falsebound Kingdom gets really good twenty hours in 😂

Beyblade just isn’t something that translates well into a video game. Of course that didn’t stop me from trying them out. I’ve played metal fusion on ds, vforce in GameCube, and evolution on 3ds

I had experimented with making a Beyblade game in Unreal a while ago, so I have a little insight into why it's so difficult to actually make a satisfying Beyblade game. First of all, if you want a physics based game, no engine is really going to work for you out of the box, as the makers of these engines simply didn't anticipate that someone would want to accurately simulate the physics of spinning strange tops in dishes at high rpm. I found the biggest issue was that they lost momentum far too quickly regardless of weight and rpm, so I was forced to cheat in some further rotational boosts. The difficulty simulating this is likely why most of these games use stamina bars and simply fix the rpm, or put momentum-loss milestones attached to their stamina bars. Now, if you throw two Beyblades into a bowl like that (and you want to make sure the bowl is high-poly so that the tops don't skip on the geometry), you can have a really entertaining show, especially if you shape the stadium with walls to bounce the Beyblades off each other and experiment with the tip shapes for wilder movement. The issue with this is that you and up with a game like the ps1 Beyblade, where you have little control over the tops, which isn't really what people are expecting when they pop in one of these games. So to give the player meaningful control you can map navigation using directional impulses, which satisfies that need to control them yourself; however, the more control you give the player, the less the game feels like the natural movement of a Beyblade. There was a fun version that I built where I added a jump button, but at that point it didn't feel like you were spinning tops as much as you were sumo wrestling with coloured plastic. However, the real complication was that the more control you gave the player in a physics-based game, the more likely that it was that they would find a way to screw up their battles by doing something like flipping their top upside down. At the end of it I realized that to make the sort of Beyblade game that people envision when they look at the box of one of those console games you'd have to circumvent the pure physics approach and make a fairly boutique system to artfully manage rpm and orientation, which I think a few of the games were attempting to do; but to make a system that emulates the desired gameplay of Beyblades without resorting to stamina bars and fixed-axis tops will certainly be an uphill battle for any developer attempting it.

G Revolution was actually easy, once you learn to do this correctly. Lil' bit of patience also is needed. After that, once you get it, you'll hardly ever lose. Cool game, modification part i always liked.

Solid breakdown! I grew up with the metal saga they were very hit or miss, the battle fortress was a personal favourite since they had game exclusive beyblades that was very silly to look at. (The worst one from the MFB era was 4D V Zero G it used the 3DS AR for gameplay and everyone hated it)

Beyblade up to G Revolution will always have place in my heart. The nostalgia hits hard.

how do you know everything i’m nostalgic for?

I'll never forget finding a beyblade VHS at the dollar store after playing the gba game, picking it up and hearing a version of the anime op that wasn't bit crushed. That shit changed my life.

In elementary school, I traded my birthday cupcake my teacher made me, for a kids second hand beyblade. best deal of my childhood

I remembered Beyblade was really big here back in 2003. Then it died down after a year or two. Then around 2019, there was a comeback thanks to the new Beyblade anime. Toys began to flood in the market, but a lot of them are bootlegs.

0:59 You're not just seeling them tops, you're selling them DREAMS Sums it up perfectly my dude

Honestly, been waiting for someone to talk about these games. I've never played them, but the fact they existed I NEEDED to know

Legend says Shaun still wanders the planes of the shadow realm, torturing lost children with his aim hacks metal top

I brought Beyblade to my elementary school and we had a crazy fun couple of months with them... until the 1st graders got them banned school-wide because they'd let em rip onto the bottom of a metal slide on our recess equipment, putting an uncountably high amount of dents and dings on it. Little brats. Also, I played that gamecube Beyblade game a lot. It was repetitive as hell, but I had a lot of fun with it. I will never know what the story was about, but Kai was a cool-lookin dude, I tell you hwat.

They didn't have a ton of effort put in them but they did have a special place in my heart

Man, I cried watching the final episodes of Metal Fusion when Storm Pegasus fucking died

There's some genuine joy in my heart to know you've played the games I always saw at EB Games as a kid but never bought. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't lmao

Damn, I wanna see Beyblade Metal Master in EVO now

Pfft, you thought your "illegal" weight disk would've gotten you to win? Please...I modded my blade to have THREE disks!

2:00 This game made me so sad as a kid and it taught me about shovelware. I tried hard to win this game, but everytime I'd try it wouldn't play well, the beys are uncontrollable. Trying to upgrade my beyblade would result in it losing control and instantly flying out of the stadium at 100mph, so depressing. I wouldn't have minded not having bitbeasts, but that game was just unplayable, there's probably a way to cheese through the game though.

13:00 "Calls Ryuga a bad person" :(

I would just like to say thank you to my high school for making me the target audience for that Cormac McCarthy joke

“You can slap a coat primary color paint on just about anything, and kids will buy”. *looks at my POG collection*…ouch

Hearing him say Gingka with a hard G and not a J hurt my soul

I love playing the G-Revolution Gba game, it was fun for me when I didn't get the game correctly but I learned the more I play and rested it so many times XD

But... but... the GBA RPG was so good :(. The "completely legitimate" copy I had couldn't save. So I used to have to just keep my GBA on the charger for the entire night just to not lose progress. Ah, the memories.

Gingka in the dub was pronounced "Jenga"

That intro is pretty much how anime beyblade matches are seen. I actually have a DS copy of Metal Fusion and I can tell you that its pretty lackluster but is interesting to say the least. Van says “who the hell are you” and fuckin DIES, Ryuga calls Van the long-haired Ryuga clone a scumbag and sometimes says “L-Drago hungers for blood” when starting a match, and you can actually yeet your own bey or your enemies’ by whacking it out if you’re lucky. I love these Special Thanks names omg. Also love how you literally combined Gingka’s name pronunciation with Japanese and English versions 😂

Ah man this is nostalgia epitomized for me. I genuinely loved beyblade when I was a kid.......and yet the more I reminisce about it, the more it feels like it might have just been an outlandish fever dream. I owned a decent handful of beyblades myself, played it all the time with my neighbor/childhood friend who lived across the street from me, watched the first 2 anime series, and yes, much to the determent of my patience even played a couple of these games. But even as someone who would've considered themselves an avid fan of the franchise back then, I still thought it was way out there. Like......a bunch of teenagers playing with slightly more intricately constructed than normal tops that house celestial essences of mythical creatures in their centers and treat each match with the same intensity and seriousness that characters treat the fighting during the tournament arc of a battle manga/anime do? It was a weird time to be growing up. But even though I look back and laugh at it, I did still have a lot of fun with this.

You can map the microphone to a button on the keyboard on your Personal DSputer in case you didn’t know. I’ve done it with Phantom Hourglass, or maybe it was it Spirit Tracks? The one that had an item that required you to blow into the mic to use it.

I don't know if your game got bugged or something. I remember playing that gba Beyblade rpg game as a kid and it was a little hard but not impossible to beat. I think the game ends with you defeating some mysterious rival in the park. It seemed short compared to the gba Pokemon games I was familiar with.

So first of all, I loved your reviews on all of these, gotta get that cleared. Now, here comes the info part. I've beaten the GBA G-Rev game and this tactic should work on the PS1 game as well; they all lose to Endurance types, simple as that. Make it an endurance type and you will literally have stamina for days. In regards to Beyblade: Evolution for 3DS, yes, it is playable. If you're using Citra there are controls to simulate gyro movements. It still feels like a flash game though. P.S. You forgot to do Beyblade Burst apps.

They got banned from my school because my beyblade had a massive (definitely tournament illegal looking back on it) weight disk. We used to use them outside the school because none of us brought the stadiums to school. Anyway, mine hit a rock one day and bounced off and hit the window to the teachers lounge, cracking it.

For peeps who are interested: Beyblade Evolution since I played this: You can customize beyblades by buying parts with bey points, the only thing you can really do with your blades is aim your bey I'm 3 areas: the outer ring, the center of the ring, and somewhere in-between. Attack type bey tips gain bonuses in the outer ring, balance type tips go in the middle, and finally defense and stamina tips go in the middle. Once you aim your bey your supposed to pull your 3DS towards you, too soon or late and lose a bit of stamina, and getting it just right would grant you a bonus to your movement speed and stamina. Once you actually get in the arena, a power meter will show up, depending on the score you got for launching with a bey you can start with a 0-1 power point, or a 2 power point, the max is 3. You just sorta shoot the power you got from seeing beyblades clash into your bey that slows down their stamina consumption and depending on the tip they will willingly collide with the opponent's bey. They got alot of bey parts you can buy and plenty of bey sets to collect from the Metal Fusion, to Fury series, and you can grab parts from the trio of the masters series (though some functions like Big Bang's final drive, all bey's special moves r got tossed, so it's literally just seeing a bunch of tops spinning and nothing more but it was fun whilst it lasted)

The very first Beyblade RPG, Jisedai Beigoma Battle Beyblade is actually supergood, despite it being a Pokémon ripoff, with bitbeasts evolving and everything, I had a lot of fun playing it together with my brother. The problem is, it's all in Japapnese and my Japanese skills are quite limited. My favourite part has to be when Tyson finds Kai's challange written on a piece of paper on the first floor of an high tower, goes up to the rooftop, and Kai complains we were too slow to get there. Tyson replies, "If you were in such a hurry, why didn't you challange me on the first floor?" ... and Kai is speechless because well, he's right XD Also fun fact, Dragoon is a fire dragon and Dranzer is a three-head ice dragon - because Dranzer is supposed to be Dragon+Panzer, yeah.

Beyblades got banned in our school because someone put one in a sock and used it as a flail and split another kids head open.

I’m definitely that person who grew up with PS1 Beyblade. It was so freaking popular in my 5th grade class and I just couldn’t get enough. I sometimes wish I could still let it rip with other 30 year olds. Wait shit- NOT LIKE THAT.

7:45 I have a feeling they were trying to reference the Yugioh Tag Force games.

G revolution on the gba is honestly the best beyblade game of all time, it’s in my top 10 GBA games

Beyblade on the PS1 was one of my fave games growing up. Tbf I was a kid back then 😂

G- Revolution was actually good though, one of the best gba games I've played. If you're good at the game, it rewards you, saying the game is bad because you suck at it is really not fair. Maybe you were just too young when you played it to understand the mechanics, go play it again, it's really fun

I had a blast watching this video and remembering this dumb, silly, awesome series. Thank you for this, you channel is dope as hell

the metal fusion game is the predecessor to the metal masters game. the concept was playing through the story with different bladers, unlocking new special moves and so called "bey forces", which strengthened your bey. you could control your bey by swiping your stylus over the touchscreen(also if you yelled into the microphone your bey would recover a bit of energy, so you technically cheered your bey on) , and could use special moves when your power gauge is full enough. it also offers full customizarion of your bey, just like metal masters. parts can be bought with bey points which you win by defeating other bladers. you could also raise your rank, to become stronger. metal fusion is pretty much the rough sketch for metal masters (two brilliant, childhood defining games) while beyblade evolution is a cheap hasbro advertising gig with extremely disappointing gameplay.

I actually really like the g-revolution GBA game, I play it on emulator. I had to search online to learn how to do combos once you learn those it becomes a lot more enjoyable. Also, no coverage of the burst games?

Batuken Shoot Beyblade Fan: …Metal Fight characters that I cannot even pronounce the protagonist’s name correctly. Also Batuken Shoot Beyblade Fan: Gin-Ka (not Jing-Ka, which is from the English Dub. At least it’s not from the 4Kids Dub). Yu-Gi-Oh fans who watched the English Sub than 4Kids Dub: He’s a wizard.

I still rememberh that one time my school loved beyblade, and one of my friends wanted them and he only has pokemon cards so he wanted to by beyblades so everyone will think he's cool, so he spends all his money on it and he showed it to us and we we all act like this; NAH MAN POKEMON CARDS ARE THE NEW TREND MAN

I got into beyblades whe i was at my friends house dicking around with one going "this is so gay" then I broke a glass with one and went "I can do damage with this" and also got some super korean metal plate that just wrecked everything

Most fun I ever had with a beyblade game, was a plug in play to the TV. It had a launcher, a ripcord, and you controlled the speed with the trigger and turned with a dial on the launcher. Waaaay more fun than it had any right to be.

At my school they banned Pokemon cards but not Beyblade and Yugioh lol We were straight up gambling in grade 3.

Just a young gun with a quick fuse I was uptight, wanna let loose I was dreaming of bigger things and Wanna leave my own life behind Not a "Yes sir", not a follower Fit the box, fit the mold Have a seat in the foyer, take a number I was lightning before the Dunga Dunga, Dunga Dunga, Dun-, Dunga Dun-Dun-Dunga, Dunga Dunga, Dunga, Dun-, Dunga Dun-Dun-Dunga, Dunga Dunga, feel the Dunga Lightning and the Dunga Dunga, feel the Dunga Lightning and the Dunga Dunga, Dunga Dunga Kids were laughing in my classes While I was scheming for the masses Who do you think you are?

I played metal fusion because i loved the anime a TON as a kid I legitimately could never do anything, i had NO idea what happened

11:17 I played this game. You can’t control it at all. You only ever press the A button. I hate the dumb game.

Holy shit smell of the game really does go well with everything

Maybe I’m misremembering, but I remember a Beyblade game on the PS1 that I KID YOU NOT (but again, Could be wrong) had Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z as a guest character in the game’s Vs. Mode. It was pretty nostalgic, even though I had no idea how to play the game right.

I played the GBA Beyblade game multiple times just for nostalgia and cause I was good at it😩 now I feel like a menace for sinking in hours into it.

13:17 I may be one year late, but I guess someone does exist to get that joke. Well played

I always wanted a game where you had proper control over the blades which was more about moving fast, dodging and navigating wacky arenas from the show such as the Great Wall of China stadium, and when you unleashed your bitbeast the game would become a Tekken style fighting game

K Bash:I WIN BY DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHINGGG Luigi:What did you say?>:(

The beyblade rpg from the gba is actually pretty fun if you know how combos work

The G-revolution Gba game is actually very simple and easy to a fault. It is the E X A C T same battles with changing stats. Otherwise it would be a great game. Actual beybattling is fun.

4:46 I can't believe it. They've turned Mariam into a goddamn Muppet!!!

I bought mini beyblades and never looked back... Ready for the apocalypse. I won't be walking the road alone... I have my mini beys!

The gba rpg was badass. Problem is the balance is in the players favor. If you get the controlls from someone who actually knows what they are doing (worst part of the game is they don't actually explain how to play) you can literally beat the final boss massively under leveled.

If only this video came out a week ago. One of my students is obsessed with Beyblades. I always entertained conversations with him, but I didn't know how to relate. I guess I'll see him in the fall.

Glad to see the two best games from this video are from the metal saga, the generation i grew up with, I used to think Ryuga is the coolest guy ever and had lots of L Drago bays but all of them were sadly bootleg. Everytime KBash mispronounced Gingka, i died a little inside lol (its pronounced Jingka with a J, not G).

Beyblade Metal Fusion for the DS is peak beyblade gaming tbh, sad you missed out on it

5:30 This was the only ever Beyblade game I owned, it was quite interesting. Looking back in it I can’t believe I beat the entire game.

Preemptively turning my volume down because I know its going to start with screaming haha

I've recently gotten back into Beyblade via the Hasbro release of Beyblade X in the UK last month. Even got me my first string launcher, which is at least more comfortable than the basic launchers that come with the starter sets. The starter sets I recommend passing on and just getting a winder launcher and a dual pack. You'll get a decent launcher and a taste of how the customisation works.

Back in 2005 I spent birthday money on Beyblade V-Force and I've regretted my choice every day since then.

I forgot in the lore that Moses parted the Red Sea with a Beyblade XD So hilariously offensive!

After watching this I'm now getting Beyblade youtubers recommended to me, so thank you Kbash. Video itself was great

Oh man I remember I used to love that beyblade rpg so much

Update: there's a new Beyblade title in the franchise, Beyblade X showcasing later this year...

I have never been so glad I got metal masters as a kid

You gotta fall down, eat ground, to get back up again!

Honestly love the DBZ music in the background.

This is hilarious because im half way through my third play through of g - revolution and i was excited for you to get to it just to hear the weakest complaint. its so easy once it all clicks and it has the best combat of all beyblade games ive tried.

I remember playing an old beyblade game on my gameboy advanced when I was younger, that game stressed me out sooo much 😭

They barely make sense. Like...as A game..it takes everything away from it.

I replayed the PS1 game not too long ago, and its really not bad for what it is, you get enough influence over the beyblades to not just go flying out of the ring, and there's a whole customization aspect. Like, man its just spinning tops, it doesn't have to have fighting game depth. Just like the real game, winning mostly just comes down to customization of the beyblades.

4:35 this is some V-Force erasure dawg

When I was a kid I loved the Vforce story. I remember absolutely nothing from it but I remember I was always playing it

Kbash can make anything interesting lol. Also, that line about being too invested and interested in old media for my own good was incredulously relatable.

For anyone wondering the burst series of Beyblade is out now. The American releases of the last two years suck IMO (slingshock was still fun). Check em out for more fast spinning plastic

5:31 is when I started laughing.

I loved playing VForce on the Gamecube, but damn it, it was annoying as hell when the enemy used Driger's special.

The music you pick for background ambience is always so good and nostalgic

A guy named “ Kbash “ coming after a kid named “ Mister X “

Beyblade metal masters if I remember correctly has a move called Moon Cannon where the bey just goes up to space, and fires itself out of a goddamn satellite My main special move just for how absolutely whack it is

How to make a good Beyblade game: Hitmontop mini game in Pokemon Stadium 2.

me and my friends used to play beyblades. we built an arena with walls high enough for ring outs to not happen. we used to scour the whole bazaar for new beybaldes and take out their parts and customize them. they were the cheap and light ones. small as well. and I was the kid who was like the champion. so one day, one of the kid calls his cousin from the next city over to have a match with me and he absolutely destroys me. the kid has a heavy slow spinning one but my small one still couldnt make a dent on that beast. after that i left the scene. it was embasrrasing since then. felt like a money showing off before a master. never went to the arena ever since.

Dude i love beyblades! My brother and i used to collect them growing up. i legit think i have almost 100 from the metal series, and about 50 from the og series. To this day we still buy eachother a beyblade every christmas. Except fxxx the Burst series, they're ugly af

Kbash uploads a video and nintendo releases another breath of the wild 2 trailer today's a good day

Metal Fusion for the DS holds up incredibly well and ticks all the boxes you mentioned. The customizability is amazing as you also get to set 2 ultimate moves are are as bombastic and cheesy as you can get as well as have lots of control over your beyblade with flicking similar to the Wii and guard feature that adds the extra bit of complexity. I believe you could even switch "stances" mid battle if your bey's tip or other components has a gimmick like sliding parts

Glad to know my school wasn't the only one who banned Beyblade, though the reason was cause a kid got a really bad laceration across the cornea

Ah yes my favorite beyblade game: Blade Meridan, although all the pretty bit beasts was also pretty solid.

Fun Fact, The Metal masters DS Game (The good one) has Ronald McDonald playable in the japanese Version. He comes with the Big Mac Beyblade.
