Hello everyone, this is Funasen, in charge of CSM development.

Today we'll be introducing some of the unique gimmicks of the CSM DECADRIVER ver.2!



●Press and hold the dialogue button to activate the "belt fastening sound"!
The power switch has been moved to the back of the rotation unit, so it is no longer possible to turn it on while wearing a belt.
Instead, to recreate the sequence, we've made it so that if you press and hold the dialogue button when there is no card inserted, the audio will play.

●Includes "form release sound" and "transformation release sound"!
The form release sound is the sound of returning from Kamen Ride ●● to Decade.
These two sounds,
① When the card is inserted and the belt is closed, press and hold the dialogue button
② Or, with the belt open, press and hold the dialogue button

In the movie, there is a scene where the transformation is released by opening the belt, and there is also a scene where the transformation is released just like that, so we have made it possible to recreate both.

●When you attach DECADRIVER 's rotating buckle to the holder, unlike the DX version, you can activate the sound by simply pressing it, without having to hold it down!


With DX, the sound would not be activated unless you held down the driver attached to the holder.
The switch that is pressed is the same as the switch that is pressed when the driver is closed in driver mode, so if you release it without continuing to press it, the same thing happens as when the driver is open.
However, this time it is equipped with a new switch that recognizes it as being in holder mode when attached to the holder.
Thanks to this, once it is recognized that the device is in the holder, the program will transition to a state where the sound will continue to play even after the driver is pressed and released, making it possible to recreate the effects seen in the movie.

●Each sound overlaps smoothly.
In DX and CSM ver.1, the sounds for inserting the card were played separately and in sequence: "Card Insertion Sound" ⇒ "Kamen Ride" ⇒ "Standby Sound" ⇒ "Gachan" ⇒ "Decade" ⇒ "Transformation Sound." In CSM ver.2, these sounds are layered smoothly to recreate the sense of speed in the show.
The sounds of Kamen Ride Kuuga's transformation, for example, are also played in sync with Kuuga's lines.


The content is brief, but this is all for today's CSM introduction.
I haven't had time to write an extensive blog post and development work has been my top priority, so I will be taking a break from blogging next week.
There's still a lot more we can introduce about DECADRIVER, but we'll also be releasing images of the EXTRA card set before orders close.
Please wait until later this month.

Instead, in today's blog, our product development team will be introducing the soon-to-be-released "DX Valid Rex By Stamp"!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello, I'm Ano, the developer of ValidRex.
This weekend on Saturday, December 4th, the "DX Valid Rex By Stamp" will be on sale!



This is a power-up item for KAMEN RIDER REVICE.
From the egg emerges a more powerful Rex. Nice to meet you, Valid Rex.

The biggest attraction is that it is a first for the Buy Stamp series!
By scanning the 10 types of buy stamps you have collected, you can activate special moves.
And if you scan all 10 types,
"Rek Rek" + "Mega Mega" + "Guruguru" + .... Up to 10 scan sounds will be combined in the order they are scanned to activate the super special move sound!



Although it is not stated on the packaging, a hidden gimmick in the toy is the long version of the transformation sound.
There is a 1 in 4 chance of it activating, so please give it a try and see if you can transform into the long version!



The game contains addictive audio that will stick in your head once you've heard it, so we hope you'll enjoy playing it a lot!

"Rider Hero Series 06 KAMEN RIDER Valid Rex Genome" will be released on Saturday, December 18th.
Please look forward to this too!
