And level 5 developed this game ? I remember them from the little battlers experience games and anime series . They have quite a few hidden gem titles under Their belt
Megaton punishment! Sad to know they cancelled that US trademark. I'm a big Level 5 fan, and I've been following the game for a while. It looks gorgeous! 🤖🤖🤖
I love the look if all Level 5 games. It's such a shame their American offices are closed. I used to enjoy the Yokai Watch games and we are seriously missing the Switch release in English! This game looks awesome. Just wish it was localized and in English too.
@@DieselJT same but on my switch this really is a great game and this time i was actually invested in the story which i cant say for alot of mech games i played
One thing that might be important if you're not from an english speaking country: The PS4 version (idk about Switch) has a bug where the game softlocks itself during the first 2d section if your system language is set to something else than english or japanese.
i would even say the best part of the game is to custom made the mech... that part seems detailed... like, you can lost 20 minutes playing with that alone...
I really like this series, so thanks for discovering and show us precious import gems! There are some games I'm curios about, in particular, who knows if you have played them...: 1) Monster wo Taoshite Tsuyoi Ken ya Yoroi wo Te ni Shinasai. Yuusha Tai ga Maou wo Taosu Sono Hi wo Shinjiteimasu; 2) Sengoku Koihime: Otome Kenran Sengoku Emaki 3) BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!
Level-5 announced a free-to-play iteration of its mecha action RPG Megaton Musashi. Titled Megaton Musashi X, the title will include the full-price release of the base game as well as all of its post-launch updates. In addition, new story elements, gameplay systems, and robots will be added. Those who previously purchased the full-price game will receive a discount on a special item set, including exclusive robots. Megaton Musashi X will release in Japan on December 1, 2022. A western release has not been announced.
This game is actually LBX but without the licence and the limitations that came with it. The narrative is much darker and artstyle less kid oriented. Fighting gameplay is more refined than in LBX too !
It appears as the Japanese interpret the saying "The children are our future" as "The children are our leaders". Sending the kids to their certain death always seems to keep them and everyone else alive somehow. I'm not saying I hate it or anything. I just wish someone dared to steer off course once in a while for some variety and surprise. But I don't question it! Promise. ;) Anyway, Great review. This seem pretty cool and keep the puns coming, I love it!
@@popculturehero says the man with a Transformers avatar. I was too old for the original run. Never have been a fan of anime. Preferred Huckleberry Hound to Racer X. I will admit that I didn’t know what to make of Racer X when it first showed up in the kid blocks of television. You can make fun of my comics though...not a fan of superheros. Never a fan of the Transformers. As a freshman or sophomore in highschool I had a girlfriend who liked the show. Insisted on calling me: Bumblebee. At that point I was discovered Thrash Metal. A Thrash Metal kid to this day.
High Key want this game solely because the cover art SLAPS 🤖 It’s a shame that funimation, crunchyroll, hidive etc. didn’t pick up the anime because the CGI is actually pretty solid and it has a great OST. Like Jordan said the only way to watch it is on the Level5 YT channel, but sadly doesn’t have subtitles :/ Western definitely seems bleak
I waited over 2 years for "The Snack World" to get localized and even longer for Megaton Musashi to be released period. Level-5 needs a LOT of help to keep themselves in business. I'd really like if someone with more management skills could buy them out and right the ship. Otherwise, as a company their likely fu- destroyed.
@@SwitchWatch Does nintendo have a collab with them for now. Generally, nintendo has collab with potential futur subdiaries. I mean, at this point, wayforward is more likely to be bought because of the advance wars remake.
I've been meaning to watch the anime once its completed just to binge it. I keep hoping to hear that the game gets an english version or at least a patch and will continue to keep my fingers crossed.
Guess what? The brave boys and girls of Shelter Ixia are once again called into action in their powerful Rouges, led by a Metal Samurai in blue and red whose fate intertwines between two teenagers from both sides of the war! CODENAMED: WIRED DEPLOYING 2023
You had me up until "cliffhanger". It sounds like a great game but if there's no resolution yet then I'll wait until some definitive edition or sequel is for sure coming.
It's a real shame the low prospects of Level 5 games coming west currently. Thank you as always for the great overview of these various games & let's hope the DLC satisfactorily wraps up most of the story for Megaton Musashi with a western release someday?! 🤖
Am I the only one who, after looking at the mech on the cover art of this game, was reminded of, and/or thought it was a mecha verion of Sparkster from the "Rocket Knight Adventures" series? By the way, really hope this game gets an english, or western physical release one day.
I struggle whether to play Japanese Switch Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel video game when I cannot read Japanese well. Yet, the English version of Rush Duel video game is missing updated content to match the Japanese version. My dilemma is real. 😅😂🤣😭
the story end in clifhanger because they already plan to have season 2 in october 2022, seeing how they must go around the world to build spaceship. same with the game, they gonna upgrade the game like MHW to MHWIB, yes the title changed too. from megaton kyuu musashi to megaton kyuu musashi kai. and seeing from the game calender, they seems all free update.
I hope Level 5 pulls themselves out of their apparent hole and I wish their developers all the best...but unfortunately, I don't think this will be the game to save them. Especially since it shares more than a few aspects of its story and gameplay loop with VanillaWare's magnum opus 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. And objectively there's absolutely no way it can compete with that title. I hate to be "that guy", but honestly if any aspect of Megaton Musashi interests you then I'd be remiss as a longtime gamer and anime fan if I didn't tell you that you'd get a far superior experience in nearly every measurable aspect from 13S:AR except the mecha customization. Megaton seems to have the edge there. And, if that weren't enough, 13S:AR's 40+ hour campaign is FULLY translated and VOICED in English...
I'd watch the anime fansub (only 13 episodes) then play it, it's an easy import. I hope it gets an English release, doubt it. But it's not that hard to understand to play it rn, the story is so weird lol I can't wait for season 2 of the anime. Arshem is best girl btw.
@@zockeromi1970 no but the game is easy to get through without knowing japanese i beat it and the expansion pretty easy and leveled majority of the yokai to max lvl
@@dominiquesmith6745 I believe it, but that's nothing i would have fun with. Did this once with Africa and didn't enjoy it at all until i bought the english version
No doubt. And they would’ve done the developers proud with an awesome edition. Alas… I wonder how expensive it really is to translate the text to English in these types of games versus the profit that could be had by sales to the seemingly growing import community. I was very bummed out when I heard some time ago Level 5 was basically abandoning the western markets over lackluster sales. I chalked it up to the boring taste in games by your average western consumer (shooters, sports, shooters, sports, endless iterations of franchise shooters and sports!) so I was surprised to find out they are also struggling at home in Japan. They make fantastic, fun, well crafted games, what gives?
