Dinosaur King: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

A CCG arcade game from Japan. The player pays for a starter deck and scans the cards into an arcade cabinet. Then they play a fighting game where dinosaurs (real ones ranging from obscure to well-known) with superpowers fight both each other using both a literal rock-paper-scissors and an [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]] battle system. As the player progresses, the arcade cabinet dispenses newer and rarer cards for them to add to their deck.

Oh, and the superpowers? They're never really explained. We're just supposed to accept the fact that dinosaurs all had superpowers and the ability to [[Dinosaurs Are Dragons|breathe fire, electrify their bodies, and change in size.]] [[Rule of Cool]], of course, applies.

A [[The Anime of the Game|tie-in anime]] was eventually developed. It features the adventures of Max, Rex and Zoey, a trio of dinosaur-loving kids who search for dinosaur cards scattered all over the world before the Alpha Gang--a team of stranded time-travelers responsible for the appearance of the cards--can retrieve them. The series has been brought to the U.S. by [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] and is considered to be their best dub. You can watch it on [http://www.4kids.tv/show/dinosaur-king/episodes their website] or on [http://www.youtube.com/show/dinosaurking YouTube.]

* [[Affirmative Action Girl]] - Zoey, who was created from whole cloth for the anime.

* [[Alternative Foreign Theme Song]]: It's a 4Kids dub, so you should expect this to happen.
