Activision announced that they will be releasing videogames based on the popular Bakugan toys and animated series in 2009. Bakugan will be getting the Wii, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 2 treatment this fall. 

So you’re asking, what the hell is a Bakugan, right? I don’t blame you. If I didn’t have an 11-year-old son, I wouldn’t know what the hell they were either. Unfortunately, I step on the toys regularly — they’re little balls with magnets on them that open up into monster creatures. And there’s apparently thousands of them, each one more rare than the last.  And they’re all over my house.

I’m surprised it’s taken this long for a publisher to tap into the exciting Bakugan market. I was taking my son to school yesterday when Activision sent over the press release, so I decided to tell him about it so he could impress his friends at school with “insider” and “breaking” knowledge. Not surprisingly, he’s excited. 

“Oh, sweet,” he said. “Does it look cool?”

I don’t know, I’m 30 years old. There’s the trailer. Does it look cool?
