Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia devs explain how Bakugan were chosen for the game

Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia is now available on Switch, and it includes all sorts of fan-favorite Bakugan, but not every creature was included. Wondering how the team chosen which Bakugan made the cut? Kenny Ilko, Executive Producer at WayForward, explained in an interview with Siliconera.

This was primarily a list created by our friends at Spin Master. I don’t know the full inner workings, but what I do know is that they took a long, hard look at the Bakugan found in the anime as well as some of the fan favorites from the toy and created a list that just made sense. With over 80 Bakugan, there are a ton of options for fans who lean more on the Bakugan species and just as many for ones who lean more into the various factions. I’m not going to lie, one of my favorite Bakugan in the game, Darkus Cycloid, did not start there at the beginning of development.
