SEGA brings back a much requested franchise!

New Mushking!!!





Yeah...this colorful beetle card collecting game is actually more popular than you might think. It opened the market for the kids trading card arcade games in Japan, that is still going today. Lots of cash from the Kidz!!


Many actually asked Sega to make it come back.
Seems like a case of Sakura Taisen, where Japanese fans are asking for a title to come back, that is very obscure in the west.


There were plans to bring the cartoon and DS game to America I think, but it fell through.

Hee hee, I was wondering what the let down would be when I saw the topic title.

Mushi King, I vaguely remember this, seems like a fun kids game.

Didn't this game get a cameo in the Virtua Fighter episode of SEGA Hard Girls?

Yeah, that along with Love and Barry probably left western viewers confused. Back in 2006 these series were very mainstream in Japan.

There was an attempt to bring Mushiking to western arcades:




Not just a video!!! lol

It wasn't what I was thinking, but I like seeing Sega bring back series if there's demand.  I hope our requests are next.

This announcement is kind of a surprise to me (this western bastard)


but if there really is a demand for this type of game, they are right to bring them back
