While 2014 has a lot of different things going on, there’s definitely a growing push for the game to anime adaptation that comes from either trading card games or 3DS games. The latest one to get the nod is Hero Bank, which comes from the SEGA game of the same name that’s coming out on March 20th for 3DS fans. The game, which is spinning off a manga adaptation as well in Monthly Corocoro Comic, has a planned Spring 2014 premiere but nothing else announced at the moment. The push to promote the game through ancillary means is fairly standard these days and has grown immensely over the years, especially when there are hopes of achieving overseas successes through it.
Game concept: The game centers around Kaito, an elementary school boy who is suddenly burdened with 10 billion yen (about US$100 million) in debt one day. The only way he can pay off the debt is to master “Hero-Gi” (downloaded off the net) and win matches in “Hero Battle,” a new-generation cyber sport. The tagline of the game “Change your money with justice!”
