Power Battlers (video game)

Power Battlers Endgame (パワー·バトラーズ·エンドゲーム) is the seventh main video game in the Power Battlers series and the eleventh video game overall. Developed by Burst Arts and published by Namco Bandai, it was released exclusively for the Nintendo Wii in September 2009 in Japan and November 2009 overseas. Chronologically the final chapter in the original Power Battlers storyline, it features virtually every character from the previous games. Players select one of them and battle a row of other fighters to determine the fate of the universe.

Gameplay
Endgame retains its gameplay from Invasion, but introduces a new rave system titled "Boost Arts," which are upgraded variants of the Speed Arts from previous games. Another new feature is the Hyper Supreme Art system, which grants characters a second Supreme Art that is more powerful than the first. The Power gauge is tweaked to further implement this addition; the highest capacity of the Power gauge has now been raised to hold seven Power gauges.

Venture mode returns, this time focused on Xeon as he journeys across the worlds to defeat Zeus. Two new mini-games are introduced: Power Beach Volleyball, which pits the females of the Power Battlers series against each other in volleyball matches, and Power Racers, a Mario Kart-inspired racing game.

Plot
Several years before the events of Power Battlers Revolution, Brooke, king of Eveia, and his wife Liane propose the creation of a powerful warrior to bring balance among the worlds. Eventually, Liane gives birth to two sons, Xeon and Bolgas, and Brooke goes on to construct the Brooke Tower.

Following the deception of Tago by the Plasmarians, the battlers of the worlds were becoming too powerful that even the worlds can hardly contain. Their powers threaten to utterly destroy everything in the universe. Fearing that the battlers' otherwise eternal struggle could spell impending doom for all, the Brooke Tower rises from the ground, surrounding itself with thunderstorms, which drew the warriors' curiosity to discover what was at the top. The battlers fought one another to get to the top, while Zeus revealed himself to them. The electrical being was created by the Superiors in request of Brooke to destroy as many battlers as possible in order to save the worlds from the Endgame. This would be the warriors' last battle, the last chance to prove that they can survive, while many others fall. This is the final battle, one that will determine the fate of all worlds...
