It should go without saying that Beyblade: G-Revolution is aimed at those who are fans of the show. This is a popular anime show and this game which was made for the Gameboy Advance was released to give gamers and fans of the show a little taste of what it would be like to be in the Beyblade world!
Hi Tyson,
Beyblade Burst Chouzetsu Starter B-127 Cho Super Z Valkyrie Z.ev. Beyblades Stater Set with B-108 Bey String Launcher Red High Performance Battling Top by TAKARATOMY 3.9 out of 5 stars 4.
No, we are not talking about Mike Tyson’s Punch Out here! Tyson is the name of the character that you will play as and he is the main character from the TV show. The game is set during the third season the TV show and the basics are that you want to help Tyson become the best Beyblade player in the world. Beyblade you see is a sport, a sport played with these spinning top type things.
Who Got Story In My Beyblade?
Despite being a game based on a TV show, there is actually more “gameplay” here than you would think. The game is basically spilt up into two kinds of sections. You can walk around in an overhead kind of way which gives the game a somewhat RPG feel to it. Here you can talk to people, get new stuff, find out what you have to do and move the story on and so on. It is very easy to get to grips with and the game does not throw too much your way.You also have Beyblade battles which are quite easy to get the basics of. At first, it seems super simple as you use one button for attack and one for defense. However, you soon realize that there is more depth to the gameplay than that and you can dish out some pretty heavy-duty attacks and learn all kinds of new combos and get new spin tops and so on. I would think that unless you are a fan of the show, Beyblade: G-Revolution will probably not keep your attention for the long haul. However, I do feel that they tried their best here to make a game that actual Beyblade fans would enjoy.
16-Bit Goodness Before It Was Cool
While having 16-bit looking games is cool these days. Beyblade: G-Revolution is an original Gameboy Advance game and as a result, it has a fantastic, almost Super Nintendo kind of look to it. The walking around/RPG sections of the game have a real retro feel to them and I like that. It is the Beyblade battles though that really shines in terms of the presentation. They look pretty realistic and they have some really cool effects. It is really impressive what they managed to get the GBA to do with this game when it comes to the battles.
If you are a fan of the series then you will probably really like Beyblade: G-Revolution. It follows the show very well, it actually has quite a lot for you to do and the Beyblade battles are a blast to be a part of. I am not sure if it will be enough to keep non-fans interested in it until the end. However, if you are looking for something different to play this is worth checking out.

How Do You Choose the Right Console?
When it comes to purchasing a console itself, there are some factors to keep in mind. If you're buying a console for someone as a gift and don't know much about the various options, determine the core differences between each console to help inform yourself before shopping eBay for a new or pre-owned console.
Video Game Models
One of the main ways most gamers select a console is by looking at the games available on that specific model. For instance, Mario fans require a Wii console to play games starring their favorite plumber because Mario is exclusive to Nintendo products. Fans of Halo need an Xbox One or other Xbox console to enjoy this popular video game, and it's the sole reason that many a serious gamer will buy an Xbox One. Uncharted and God of War fans need a PlayStation, whether it's a 3 or a PlayStation 4. Marvel's Spider-Man is a PlayStation exclusive as well. Some games are not exclusive to any console, such as Fortnite, so it really depends on the gamer. If you want to play the games you grew up with, consider an NES and enjoy retro Tetris all over again.
Video Game Playability
Playability is another factor to consider. Some consoles may just feel better in your hands, or controllers or simpler to use, and peripherals may be more appealing. A Wii offers numerous fun peripherals like a microphone, while the Xbox has the Kinect motion sensor option.
Handheld vs. Traditional Console
Determine whether you desire a handheld or a traditional setup. A handheld console is portable enough for gaming on the go, and makes a great gift for kids that are busy and need something to keep them occupied when they're out of the house. Some handheld consoles to consider include the PS Vita and even the retro Game Boy.
What Do You Need To Get Gaming?
While it would be wonderful if everything you needed to play each game was included with the console that's not always the reality as different games require different peripherals and components. So what are some accessories you'll need to ensure you get the most out of your gaming experience, or to help maximize someone else's?
You may want to buy additional controllers when there are more than two players. Most consoles come with two, but there are games that more than two people can enjoy together.
Ensure you have the cords and hookups needed to play your console. For instance, you need a special device to connect a vintage NES to a new television so it works properly.
Gaming headsets allow kids to go online and game with their friends, which is a lot of fun for kids and a great way to share the gaming experience while they socialize with friends from any location.
Grab a controlling charging station to keep controllers powered up and ready to go when it's game time. A low battery or dead controller can halt the fun quickly.
