Beyblade: Metal Fusion - Battle Fortress Spins on Wii This Fall

Header image

If know kids who watch cartoons on TV or look at the toy aisles in stores, you've probably heard of Beyblade.  Near as I can tell, Beyblade is best described as Pokemon meets spinning tops.  Players collect individual Beyblade tops, some of which transform into nifty creatures, and spin them in a sort of colosseum to fight.  Several cartoons based on the property have made it to American shores, most recently "Beyblade: Metal Fusion".

This fall, a game tie in will be released on the Wii.  Beyblade: Metal Fusion - Battle Fortress will allow you to "play cooperatively with allies".  We don't have further details (save a gallery of screenshots) yet, specifically whether co-op is in the story-based campaign or in the four player Battle Mode.  We'll keep you posted; this just might be on some holiday wish lists for younger gamers later this year.
