From the leaked Wii U eShop scripts

Under Wii U games is a listing for this game in Europe.

KR Wiki about it here.
It's basically Skylanders but with Karate Bugmen.

If true, how would this even sell in Europe? Kamen Rider is only popular in Japan, and to try and sell a game that requires toys? This is a weird listing.

This has to be some sort of mistake. Summonride bombed spectacularly in Japan. I think it sold less than 10,000 copies combined (PS3 and Wii U). No way in hell they bother localizing it and releasing it in a region where Kamen Rider isn't even a thing.

Has to be a mistake. If they were going to test KR in the west, why would they localize the NFC game over the Battride War games?

They even have a mobile game, too. I really can't see any scenario in which it is really localized.

I would think its to try to somehow edge in on the nfc collectibles that are popular elsewhere, but with an untested series like kamen rider? Yeah.....

You know that France is the second largest consumers of Anime/Manga/Japanese entertainment in the world? Second only after Japan herself.

That's why I have high hopes for PGW.

Does France air current Kamen Rider?

Would love to see a localized KR game.

Karate Bugmen

10/10 would laugh heartily again!

I have to echo the sentiment of if this is true why this over something better like Climax Heroes/Battride War?

This'll be interesting to see play out.

Can't say. Haven't had those TV packages since 13 and haven't watched TV since then either
