Beyblade 2002

I've been having a blast with this GameCube port, and the spinning-top battles feel surprisingly responsive with the controller. The way the avatars react with those hurrahs during clashes really captures the show's energy.

The customisation options are deep enough to keep me tweaking my top's parts matchups for hours. It captures the chaotic energy of the real battles perfectly, and the GameCube controller mapping makes those avatar hurrahs feel surprisingly responsive.

I was a bit wary of a GameCube port of a spinning-top fad, but the head-to-head battles with customised parts actually play out with more strategy than I expected. The way your avatar’s cheers amp up with each clash makes a simple toss feel like a real tournament moment. It’s a solid nostalgia hit t
