The suitably bonkers Chousoku Henkei Gyrozetter, with its actual transforming cabinet, has finally received its first trailer for the arcade version of the game (a 3DS game is also planned). The footage shows what effectively is turn based combat utilising a now pretty ubiquitous (in Japan at least) card system. The game looks pretty decent and leagues ahead of anything in the SRW camp, especially when it comes to 3D graphics (as XO and Neo were a bit lacklustre in comparison). Not sure what arcade hardware this is running on though but it obviously looks pretty current. In any case the full trailer is below.

gotta say those are some great battle cutscenes. They have this great pop and energy to them. SRW could indeed learn a thing or two, especially when it comes to their 3d efforts.
A cardbattler though? Aw man. What a tease. An arcade game centered around cars that transform into robots is a turn based card battler.
Yeah, that was my reaction too. It just seems an odd fit to make it a card battler, but eh, here’s hoping it becomes successful enough to warrant a bigger franchise.
