hello everyone

I'm in charge of development for the CSM GHOST DRIVER.

The "CSM GHOST DRIVER" will finally be delivered at the end of this month, so in this pre-release review, we'll be using the final sample.

Let me introduce you!

As we continued developing the product, we made numerous improvements to make it more user-friendly, so we hope you'll take a look.

First of all, the packaging looks like this!

The surface is, of course, a ghost! It's positioned right in the center in an impressive, striking pose.

The reverse side features a brother-sister set of Specter and Canon Specter.

■Exterior explanation!

This is what it looks like when you open it.

At first glance, the most noticeable change from the DX version is probably the appearance of the cover parts.

By spraying a pearl clear coat over the milky white clear parts, it achieves a luxurious texture that is just like in the movie.

One surprising change is the back of the cover part. While it was black in the DX version, this time it matches the design seen in the film.

I chose silver.

Since this part is likely to be rubbed due to repeated opening and closing, the silver is the molded color, but compared to the painted silver parts on the sides...

We were able to achieve a good molded color that doesn't look unnatural.

Furthermore, the colors of each part have been meticulously refined based on their appearance in the film, and I believe they are now closer to the original designs than when we last introduced them.

For the clear parts containing the LEDs, a matte clear coating is applied to the back so that the LED chips are not directly visible.

If the "GHOST DRIVER" actually existed, the wires and LEDs wouldn't be visible! So, I added some paint.

Although the LEDs are concealed, please rest assured that there are no issues with the light output when illuminated.

■Introducing the audio specifications!

The general details are as described on the reservation page,

We're refining the finer details to enhance the customer's satisfaction when they hold the product in their hands.

First, we've changed the button layout to improve ease of play.

On the reservation page, the "BGM button" was located on the top of the belt and the "dialogue button" was located on the bottom of the belt, but the buttons that are used most frequently are

We moved the "dialogue button" to the top because we thought it would make the game easier to play.

Conversely, the "BGM button," which is unlikely to be pressed repeatedly during gameplay, has been moved to the lower part of the belt.

In addition, there are many specifications that we were unable to mention on the reservation page, so we have summarized them below.

● Individual special attack sounds for each Eyecon!

This product features individual special attack sounds for each Eyecon.

In the DX version, the sound is something like "(Eyecon name)!", "Omega Drive!", "General special attack sound", with only the Eyecon name part changing depending on the form.

In contrast, the sound effects for the special moves were programmed to be the same as those in Ore Damashii.

In developing the CSM Super Robot Wars) version, we are focusing on creating a program that will play unique special attack sound effects as much as possible.

(Note: Not all Eyecons are unique; for example, Eyecons whose forms do not appear in the show use generic special attack sounds.)

Of course, all 15 Hero Eyecons have unique special moves,

Actually, when Kuuga detects the pins of Drive's Legend Eyecons, each one plays its own unique special attack sound.

In particular, if the pins for Double, OOO, Fourze, Wizard, Gaim, and Drive used in the video production are detected,

It also features a hidden function that allows you to play a special catchphrase after transforming!

● others minor audio update points!

In addition to the above, there are several other minor update points, which are summarized below.

■A feature has been added where, if you press and hold the sound effect button while in the pre-transformation state, the "Eyecon activation sound" will play one second after you release the button.

(This is a specification for those who want to activate the Eyecon with both hands, like Takeru.)

■When performing a special move with the Canon Specter Eyecon while in Canon Specter Mode, the belt's voice will say "Specter Omega Drive".

Added a specification that changes accordingly.

(This is synchronized with the video. If you are not in Canon Specter mode, it will say "special Omega Drive.")

■When reading the pin of the Dark Ghost Eyecon, if you perform a specific action (pressing the BGM button and the dialogue button simultaneously),

Added a feature that activates the "Dark Ghost Transformation Sound for Immortals".

And that's not all! There are tons of other fun features, so please try them all out!

That concludes our product introduction.

...Also, the fact that you will receive the "CSM GHOST DRIVER" means...

Information regarding this will be released in the near future.We hope you'll look forward to it.

That's all for today's blog!

See you again!
