  • That’s a take I haven’t heard yet actually. Beyblade X is fantastic and actually super fun in my opinion, which seems to be the general consensus too. It’s way more violent and action-y than any of the older generations. Plus, Hasbro is finally matching the quality of the Japanese releases from Takara Tomy again, unlike their half-assed releases from Burst. If you were able to get your hands on the Takara Tomy version, I’ve heard Burst was a great game with lots of cool gimmicks, but the version Hasbro released had the all quality of a Happy Meal toy.

    Hasbro’s Beyblade Burst releases were terrible, lazy, and designed to maximize profit. Parts made of metal on the Japanese versions were replaced with hollow plastic, rubber was replaced with hollow plastic, and the “drivers” (which should have had all the cool gimmicks built into them for that generation) were replaced with hollow plastic. Even bits that should have been made of solid plastic were replaced with more hollow plastic.
