So as we all expected, they’re here, real working GaiaMemory USBs for you computer. But “USBs” is the wrong word since it’s only one USB and you just get all 6 covers to put it in. For about 7000 Yen, a 2GB USB is certainly not worth it. But then again you can’t really expect TOEI to be giving us 6 2GB USBs for 7000 Yen seeing how all these “adult” merchandise are extremely overpriced.

They’re nice and it’s defnitely a collector’s item but seeing how the DX one looks and works like the one in the show, there’s not much incentive for fans to buy this. It’s not close to being Complete Selection standard and I guess it’s not very difficult for anyone to make their own working GaiaMemories.

 

Looks like Final Form Ride is true but I am not sure exactly how he transform into it. I hope it doesn’t require that much work or joints can easily get loose. Kabuto will also get some Decade items like Ridebooker and possibly Decade’s belt. So this pretty much feels more like SIC Decade’s Kabuto than Kabuto Kabuto. Ah well…I wish they could’ve just done Masked Form, I actually really like that form.

The thing I was hoping with the new Decade movie is that it can bring more cameos back. I mean, I thought the whole Kenzaki and Wataru thing was a hint that the other Riders might all reappear but this just seem like a special episode to cash in the success of All Rider vs. Decade.

All you got is more Riders in suit form, Tackle?, more Shocker monsters and Natsumi as Kivarra?!

I love the little cards that come with this set but it looks like you’ll need to place the cards yourself on top of Complete Form’s armor.

So TVN released some deleted scenes of Kamen Rider Kiva and I have to say that this is a MUST watch for Kiva fans.

I can’t believe how much good stuff was cut from the show. A good majority of these scenes ADD A LOT to the overall story. You get some conclusions to episodes like Nago’s time travelling episode which in the series it was left ambigous.

Megumi had a lot of her screen time cut. Even though these scenes won’t make her any more important but she does a lot more and has more character interactions with Nago, Wataru, Shizuka and Mio. So she’s like the middle person but in the series she was pratically useless. Shizuka, like Megumi, adds a lot more to the show with these scenes too.

The show feels a lot more cohesive with these unreleased footage. I will say this again that I am surprised that these scenes were taken out because they contribute to the overall story. Most of these scenes help transition one scene to the next so it kinda answers all the questions like “how did he know where he was?”, “when did they talk about that?” “how did he find out that?” “how did he react?” etc.

You get more of Mio and Wataru’s dating, same with Otoya and Yuri. And a scene where Nago rejects Maya as his first love, which is more in character than what they had left on the show. And speaking of Nago they help legitimize his relationship with Megumi more at the end so their marriage isn’t as forced.

I won’t take the time to sum up everything but for those who felt Kiva to be a bit rushed, forced and didn’t try hard to execute interactions and plot within the episode, this actually helps make it a bit more fluid. And for Kiva fans this definitely makes the show even better. Makes me wonder that these recent shows are lacking in depth might be the fault of the editors and not the writers or directors. Maybe Rider needs to be more than 22 minute an episode.

So go Kiva fans, download and enjoy these additional scenes!

Kamen Rider Double’s Winter Movie entitled Kamen Rider Double: Episode Zero will feature Kamen Rider Skull (played by Koji Kikkawa).

Seeing how the movie acts as a prologue to the series I would probably assume this is Narumi, Shotaro’s boss and Akiko’s father, just by the hat he is wearing.  This is a clear reference to Skullman which was Ishinomori’s first groundbreaking manga that ultimately gave birth to the more famous, and what we all now know as Kamen Rider. If he is indeed Narumi, then this very ingeniously alludes to the idea that Skullman influenced and came before Kamen Rider. I wonder if Double will have any more Ishinomori references; there’s been a lot, I really hope there’s more!

I made this fighting Flash Game featuring Garren and Bat Undead about 4 years ago, I happened to stumble across a working link:

It’s a pretty simple game for those who are familiar with the Pokemon or Final Fantasy series. You Attack to increase Rouse Points which allows you to use some Combos. The objective is to Seal the Bat Undead and you can only do that when his HP is less than 100, or you can just kill him.

I also made a Kabuto fighting game where you smash buttons but that link no longer works and I no longer have the file for that.

Please enjoy! No need for suggestions since I have not played around with Actionscripting in a long time. I wouldn’t mind some comments though!

Climax Heroes is coming to the Wii! This is great news for those who don’t own a PS2 and for those people who have been waiting for a Rider game to come out for the next gen console. But the down side is, this is just a port. Climax Heroes felt rushed and the game is just, well, average.

I don’t see how it will be better for the Wii, but the game will feature Kamen Rider W and various Kajins.

It’s incredible how these figures look exactly like the normal SIC. To be honest, I am actually disappointed they do. I enjoyed how the KT series were a bit different from the original SICs so even though these look amazing, I was hoping they were going to be different. I would probably get the regular Faiz even though I want Axel. I am really just in it to collect all the main Riders in KT form.
