Play Bakuten Shoot Beyblade (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Bakuten Shoot Beyblade on the Game Boy Color is exactly what you’d hope for—a little chaotic, a little janky, and weirdly addictive. You pick your Beyblade (I always went for Dragoon because, well, it’s Dragoon), slap some parts together, and then just hurl it into the arena to see what happens. The battles are fast and messy, with pixelated tops clanging around like they’ve got a personal grudge.

It’s not deep—no fancy 3D arenas or complicated mechanics here—but there’s something satisfying about landing a special move at the last second and watching your opponent’s Beyblade go flying. The sound effects are crunchy in that classic GBC way, and the sprite work actually gives the tops some personality. If you played this as a kid, it’ll hit you right in the nostalgia. If you didn’t, it’s still a fun little time capsule of early 2000s anime madness.

Just don’t expect it to hold up against modern Beyblade games. This one’s all about the vibes.
