Siliconera: Digimon is one of those series in which my interest has fluctuated over time. I was all over it as a kid, dropped it, checked it out when I was older, dropped it again, and so on. Given my history, I was at least curious when I heard about Digimon All-Star Rumble. That, and I do play some fighting games from time to time, and those fully 3D kinds are pretty cool when they rarely happen. I was a little disappointed by the line-up of Digimon (which is rant-inducing on its own, but I will have my rant elsewhere), and the livestream Namco held had seemed somewhat boring… but it couldn’t possibly be that bad.
The latest fighting game discounts includes Digimon All-Star Rumble (Xbox 360) at $24.45, Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition (PS4) at $13.79, Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector's Set (Xbox 360) at $56.95 and more.
Worthplaying: For a time, Digimon was up there with Pokémon in terms of awareness. It might not have been as wildly popular as Pikachu and friends, but it did have a long-running show, an assortment of games, merchandise, and a theatrical movie before bowing out of the American marketplace. In Japan, the franchise has kept moving along with new anime, manga, and a few games on portable systems. The 15th anniversary of the series is coming up and a new anime based on that series is expected in 2015, so Bandai Namco decided the time was right to bring a Digimon game back to North America. Instead of going for RPG adventures on the portable systems, however, we got a fighting game, Digimon All-Star Rumble.
The price for Digimon All-Star Rumble has been discounted to $29.99 with a new deal.
