Takara Tomy Is Building A New Zoids Game For Switch

I had ZoidZilla as a kid.
I think I saw it actually working once.. then it fell to pieces, and never quite went back together again, properly.

5year old me was devastated...

I loved ZOIDS. I still have a couple of the models on my shelf. If this is a comeback for the franchise, sign me up!

I still think Zoids were the best toys ever made.

This is pretty epic, I used to collect Zoids - battery powered ones always trumped the wind up ones.

Wheras for me, Zoids reached its zenith in the 2000's with two different half 3D animes done by Mainframe. the same Canadian company of Reboot fame Jaeger form move out!! Toonami ftw.

I remember spending a ton of time with a game called ZOIDS Legacy on GBA. I remember it being a pretty deep RPG with a tremendous amount of customization and attack options, but I never beat it. I wonder if this new game will be anything like that.

I had two - a raptor and a spider.
Remember looking longingly at the huge T-Rex and Mammoth ones in the shops. 😍

...what is zoids?

@TheGreenMiner13 An old toyline by Takara, who also created the Diaclone and Microman toys that became Transformers.

I used to love Zoids but hard to believe it has much value as a brand now. But shall look forward to seeing what this game turns out like.

I remember Zoids. And Toonami. Those were the days.

@Dualmask Oh yeah? I never quite got around to playing that one, but maybe I'll give it a go.

Despite it not being an RPG, and me not being much good and that style of game, I actually thought the gamecube action-based title was pretty fun to play.

I only remember the anime of Zoids, didn't think to much about the toys or games... Still, pretty hopeful about that game for the Switch, especially if it use something like Labo for a small Zoid drone

I loved Zoids as a kid and the current gen models are just as fun to build and detailed as the more famous "Gunpla" Gundam models. I'd be all down for a good new Zoids game. Whether we get a western release will likely depend on how well the new anime does. I'll be watching it for sure.

I loved the Gamecube and GBA Zoids games. But I didn't even know there was a DS title.

Zoids is one of my favorite sleeper franchises from my childhood. I remember waking up 6 in the morning to watch the episodes each day. I have all the games that came stateside. Most are RPGs while Battle Legends is a 3D arena game. Hope this comes stateside. Or I can learn Japanese.

This looks like a fantastic game. Any info on a U.S. release?
