Power Battlers Megamix

Power Battlers Megamix (パワー·バトラーズ·メガミックス) is a fighting game developed by Burst Arts and published by Multisoft. This game is the twelfth installment of the Power Battlers series and serves as a reboot of the franchise. It was released on tthe Nintendo 3DS as one of the handheld's launch titles in August 2011, with a PlayStation Vita port released in February 2012. An expanded version of the game titled Power Battlers Megamix MAX'D (パワー·バトラーズ·メガミックスMAX'D) was released on October 2012, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and PC.

Gameplay
Principal gameplay involves one-on-one 2D style fighting. It traces back to the roots of the first three Power Battlers games, with the Supreme Arts from the Revolution remakes. As usual, there is a power meter that holds up to five gauges. Each special attack requires the amount of gauges necessary; Power Arts require one power meter, Burst Arts require three, and Supreme Arts consume all five of the gauges. Techniques such as high-jumps, rolls, and defense modes are also present.

Extra features include a story mode during which the player plays as multiple characters, training mode (allowing players to practice certain fighting moves), mission mode, tag team fighting, and an online mode. Mission mode is a single-player option that includes 300 specific challenges of various difficulties providing currency rewards upon completion; players have the option of using in-game currency to bypass other difficult challenges, completing them later. The tag-team feature is an original feature, allowing two players to play together. During tag gameplay, two new types of attacks become available. The first of them is the "Tag Call" attack, in which the off-screen character temporarily jumps in and performs certain attacks during the active character's combo. The other is the "Tag Attack", in which the active character performs a combo that is finished by the off-screen character as they enter the fight.

Plot
The story retells the events of the first three games (and their remakes), in a new timeline created by Meixiu after defeating everyone in the Endgame tournament, living an eternal life throughout the growth of the new universe. Because of this plot, characters and scenarios present are the classic ones, bringing the old to new and starting a new conflict.
