Beyblade: Evolution

Beyblade: Evolution, called Metal Fight Beyblade 4DxZeroG: Ultimate Tournament in Japan, is a 3DS title bridging the Metal Saga into Shogun Steel, using the console's gyroscope and AR camera for launches. Story Mode splits into '4D Mode' (a Gingka Hagane-led cast) and a Japan-exclusive 'Zero-G Mode' (Zyro Kurogane-led), with players progressing through 50 in-game 'turns' toward a World Championship while collecting over 500 (700 in Japan) customizable parts; Western and Japanese editions each shipped standard and premium bundles with exclusive Beyblades.
