Announcement No. 3
Introducing even more gimmicks in"CSM DOUBLE DRIVER ver.1.5 Fuuto Tantei EDITION"!
"CSM DOUBLE DRIVER ver.1.5 Fuuto Tantei EDITION" was introduced on "Premium Bandai Lab Z", which began distribution last week.
With this broadcast, we will be releasing more information about the gimmicks today.

The main developer of this product is "TK", who also provides the voice for this game.
(Funasen is checking the project as a supervisor and adviser.)
Of all the Rider series, TK is his favorite, W, so he is putting a lot of effort into developing it, so please look forward to the finished product!



A lot of information was announced at the lab, so in today's blog we'll be taking a closer look at some of the additional gimmicks of the six Gaia Memories that come with the "CSM DOUBLE DRIVER ver.1.5 Fuuto Detective Edition"!
If you're thinking, "I already have the 2019 version 1.5, so it's fine as long as some lines have been added...", you're actually wrong.
We've added a variety of gimmicks that will make you want to own the memory card alone!

●Includes "transformation cancellation sound"!
The long-awaited de-transformation sound has finally been recorded! After closing the driver and removing the memory, press the button within one second and the de-transformation sound will play.

●Includes many special moves!
This time, the action of "removing the memory with the screwdriver open" will take you to the special move selection state.
In dialogue mode, the moment you remove the memory, Shotaro's line "Philip! Memory break!" will play. (Each of the six types of memory will have a different line.)
After that, when you pressed the memory button, the LED would light up, and the number of times the LED would flash would increase depending on the number of times you pressed it, allowing you to use this as a guide to select the type of special move.
If it's Joker Memory
No Button Press: "Joker Extreme"
Press the button once: "Joker Grenade"
Press the button twice: "Joker Strange"
You can select special moves in this way.
When you select it and set it in the maximum slot, the sound of that special move will play.
Additionally, in dialogue mode, Shotaro and Philip will read out the names of techniques.
For metal memory, you can choose "Metal Branding" or "Metal Twister".

The heat memory also includes the audio of the desperate "Twin Maximum"!
When you insert the Heat Memory into the Maximum Slot, the "Maximum Drive" voice will play repeatedly, and when you press the button, the Heat Trigger's special move sound will play!
Unlike in the live-action drama, the lines leading up to Twin Maximum are actually those of Philip encouraging him to get Twin Maximum.
While supervising the dialogue, Producer Tsukada and others commented that "Twin Maximum was also a technique that the two of them could perform when they were Fuuto Detectives," and we reflected this in the dialogue.

In the previous CSM model, the Trigger Memory had the exact same sound as the DX model, meaning that it had no technique sounds (just a click) in order to be used in conjunction with Trigger Magnum, but this time it even includes special killer sounds such as "Trigger Full Burst"!
Also, since it is a selectable specification, it is possible to turn off the technique sounds just like the DX so that the sound can be left to the heat memory's twin maximum drive.


And...the release of "CSM Lost Driver ver.1.5" has been announced...!
●Only Cyclone Memory and Joker Memory include the "Lost Driver Mode"!
By holding down the button to switch modes, you can hear the sound of the transformation when using the Lost Driver. In other words, whereas the normal sound is "pause ⇒ Joker! ⇒ pause ⇒ sound," this mode eliminates the pause and plays the sound of the transformation without any pause!
This allows you to enjoy transforming into" KAMEN RIDER Cyclone" and" KAMEN RIDER Joker."​
The Lost Driver also comes with the T2 version of the Joker Memory, but in the final episode of the TV series and in subsequent guest appearance movies, he transformed into the Joker using the regular version of the Joker Memory.
The KAMEN RIDER Cyclone that appeared in the novel also has the regular Cyclone Memory, not the T2, so the correct way to transform is to use the silver terminal memory that comes with DOUBLE DRIVER, so we added this gimmick here.
Please enjoy it together with the upcoming "CSM Lost Driver ver.1.5".

By the way, if you press and hold the button, it will transition in the following order: "①Normal Mode" ⇒ "②Dialogue Mode" ⇒ "③Lost Mode".
In order to distinguish between a long press and a short press, a "press and hold operation" is determined and distinguished based on whether the time between "pressing the button and releasing it" is short or longer than a certain amount of time.
So the sound will not be heard the moment you press it. (If you recall the operation of a CSM, you will understand.)
On the other hand, if the button is set in a way that does not distinguish between pressing and holding, the sound will be heard the moment you press it.
And the moment you press the Gaia Memory, both in the DX version and in the movie, it makes the sound "Cyclone!"
In other words, if we add a long press gimmick, we won't be able to recreate the scenes in the movie... This is bad.
So, in order to "recreate scenes from the movie while also incorporating a long press gimmick," the long press judgment this time was set up as follows: Press the button ⇒ "Cyclone!" sounds ⇒ Continue to hold the button ⇒ Switch modes."​
Whenever you switch modes, you will hear the sound "Cyclone!", and this operation combines the sound that occurs the moment you press the button with the long press gimmick.
(I think it would be hard to understand if it were just written in text, so if you receive it and play with it, then read this text and I think you'll understand what I mean.)


So, although it's called "Futo Detective Edition," we've added some additional features, and all things considered, it's at a level where it can be called around version 1.7.
The "ver.1.5" version released in 2019 was a sudden decision to re-release the first DOUBLE DRIVER in commemoration of the CSM event, and it was impossible to make any changes to the audio, even considering the schedule leading up to the event.
Along the way, we thought that if we were to release it now, we should at least make it possible to remove the belt from both sides, and make the buttons silver, and since we were just within the schedule to make the cosmetic changes, we decided not to just make it a reprint, but to make it a "ver.1.5" version, but the product was still based on the idea of being a "reprint."

However, since the concept of this product is to add dialogue from the start, which means making major changes to the voice program, we decided that while we were making the changes we might as well do something other than just adding dialogue, and so we decided to add the above specifications.
Even for those who own the previous version ver.1.5, "CSM Gaia Memory ver.1.5 Fuuto Tantei EDITION" has evolved significantly and is a product that you can enjoy. Thank you for your support.


Finally! "KAMEN RIDER GEATS" is now available on Amazon Prime Video!
Every Wednesday from 10am, you'll be able to watch the episode that aired on Sunday of that week.

I'm glad that there are more opportunities to see Geats. I hope you enjoy it and experience it as much as you can.
I would also like you to recommend Geets to your friends and those around you.
I think a big advantage of streaming is that people you recommend it to can start watching right away.

That's all for today's blog. The next one will be in two days on Thursday, September 15th.
