BALTAN ULTRAMAN PS2 SERIES
While many of its aforementioned imitators are quite popular in Japan in their own right, no other kaiju-based superhero series have become as beloved and recognizable worldwide like the Ultra Series have, with some series even having been distributed outside of Japan.
It also helped transitioning tokusatsu from the big-screen features dominated by giant destructive monsters like Godzilla and Gamera to the weekly battles on television sets for peace and justice done by great superheroes like Kamen Rider and the Super Sentai, and inadvertently innovated the Kaiju genre by its mere presence alone, encouraging successive directors to play around with Tokusatsu concepts in their monster movies, for example resulting in the famous depiction of Godzilla as a saviour of the planet rather than a mere force of nature, a depiction popular among numerous fans. It also spawned a mini-genre of half-hour Kaiju-based action shows, such as Ambassador Magma, Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot, and Spectreman. The result was a bevy of sequels and spinoffs introducing new generations of Ultramen and human allies against a constant stream of new kaiju and aliens (with some of those guys becoming popular enough to be recognizable as the Ultras themselves) that continues to this very day, regardless of the occasional pause in production. However, of the three series that started the franchise, Ultraman proved to be the biggest success story of them all, with the franchise continuing down the kaiju-vs-superheroes route with the fourth series Return of Ultraman.
BALTAN ULTRAMAN PS2 TV
This formula was codified and followed to the T by the second and most famous entry in the franchise, Ultraman, proving to be one of the first massive hits in the early years of Japanese TV alongside its predecessor, the kaiju-centric Sci-Fi Horror Ultra Q, and its successor, Ultraseven, which combined this formula with alien-filled adventures in the vein of Star Trek and Doctor Who. The franchise is usually based around humans who attain the power of gigantic, light-based alien heroes from the Land of Light in Nebula M78, gaining the ability to transform into said beings to confront attacks of the fifty foot kaiju/alien of the week, often (but not always) with the help of scientific paramilitary organizations that have a multitude of cool and futuristic gadgets along the way. In Japan, there is Ultraman.Ĭreated by Tsuburaya Productions, the pioneer special effects team founded by Eiji Tsuburaya (the special effects director of the Godzilla movies) and with a reputation and cultural impact comparable to Star Wars and Superman in its native land, this live-action Japanese tokusatsu- superhero/ kaiju franchise is a juggernaut spanning through generations since its creation in 1966, rivaling other 'verses with expansive lore and merchandising that go from toys to museums to golf-caddies and beyond. All these game play is done with the main tune of the Ultraman's show in the background, sweet nostalgia.- Opening narration, Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The third stage is where you fight Alien Baltan and you will use the Ultraman's signature finishing move, the "Spacium Ray" to kill him! Once that is done, you will transform back to Hayata and start all over again. Second Stage is where you fight different monsters that appeared in the show like Zetton and Ele-King. When you gained enough points, you will be able to transform into Ultraman by using the "Beta Capsule". First Stage, you start off as "Hayata", the human form of Ultraman and you move across the screen trying to avoid a UFO that shoots at you.

When i tried it recently, it can't be switched on.It was a simple game where you just put in 4 AA size batteries or plug in the DC power cable and you can start playing. Sad to say that this game is no longer in working condition.
