Having a brawl.

Nintendo has announced Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia, a new Switch exclusive from Shantae developer Wayforward.

Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia is an action role-playing game based on the Bakugan anime, and it's due out on 6th November 2020.

Here's the official blurb:

"The game will centre around an all-new original story and the franchise's signature Bakugan brawls as players befriend powerful creatures known as Bakugan and customise teams for fiercely strategic head-to-head battles."

In the game you can create and customise your brawler to fight alongside the Bakugan as their human partner in battle. There's a fully navigable 3D world divided into different districts each with dedicated battle arenas. You can interact with other characters, go on quests, and explore. Expect competitive multiplayer online.
