The Bakugan Ball Craze and Your Children
Posted on April 27th, 2009. Filed under: Fun.Right now you can’t go anywhere without hearing about Bakugan Toys. Children love this game and stores can’t even keep them in stock. A surefire hit this xmas 2009 is going to be Bakugan for sure. Do you want to learn more about why they are such a hit?
Once upon a time this started as an Anime cartoon. It featured aliens from another dimension traveling to Earth looking for assistance. These aliens had to hide themselves in small balls for protection. Many kids woke up one day to find these balls in their rooms, a game was invented quickly and it became world famous. But there was a lot more going on than just a simple game.
The first season of the cartoon had the children and their guardians fighting to defend the planet. An evil Bakugan Naga had ambitions of becoming the ultimate power in the universe by stealing the silent core and the infinity core. These existed in the center of Vestroia the home of these monsters. With these two powerful objects Naga would be all but unstoppable. It took the combined might of the Battle Brawlers and all their friends to protect Earth from this evil menace.
Now there is a second season hitting your tele called New Vestroia. The Brawlers must again travel to Vestroia to fight Vexos. Vestal is a corporation that has captured many of the monsters and forces them to fight. Dan, Shun, and some new members have their work cut out for them. You can’t miss the second season of Bakugan!
The game quickly followed the cartoon. It is played much the same as they play it on the show with magnetic marbles and metal cards. Imagine how kids would play marbles in the 21st century. Internationally this game has become a real sensation. There are many different languages that the official site is translated into. The creators also released a new series of Bakugan to add more to the game. The S2 toys feature more powers, strategy and tricks.
The game is a combination of strategy and skill, and while simple to learn there are many indepth tactics. Children learn not only math, but learn how to plan their moves wisely. While the actual game isn’t quite as fun as it looks on the cartoon, it’s still a blast. There are many places to look for sales and cheap deals, but beware of fakes. Now you know what the Bakugan Toy craze is all about.
