Battle Spirits is a two-player collectible card game (CCG) jointly developed by Bandai and Sunrise, Inc. and a franchise which also includes several anime series, manga serialisations, and other merchandise like toys and video games.
The game was released in Japan in September 2008 where it quickly became one of the top selling trading card games of the year.[1] Due to this popularity, it was released in the United States by Bandai of America on August 14, 2009. However, due to a lack of publicity and inaccurate translation from Japanese to English, only five sets were released.
The game is now only available in Asia and only printed in Japanese.
