'Shin Japan Heroes Universe' Project Unveils Amusement Attractions in Bandai Namco Stores
posted on by Kim Morrissy
The Shin Japan Heroes Universe collaboration Namco stores in Japan this year for a limited time. The spaces will provide interactive attractions and games based on the four properties.
The "Operation Shin 765" attraction imagines a scenario in which Godzilla, Angels from Kamen Rider's evil organization Shocker all appear at once to cause mayhem. Visitors are put in the shoes of a Global Unknown Event Keepers agent, and must complete missions in order to proceed.
Other attractions include a puzzle-solving activity and roulette-style mini-game based on Shin Ultraman, and Godzilla and Evangelion VR experiences.
The attractions will come to Yokohama's Bandai Namco Cross Store from July 7 to August 21, Osaka's Hep Five from September 3 to October 2, and Hakata's Bandai Namco Cross Store from October 12 to November 6. (The Hakata branch will not include the Godzilla and Evangelion VR attractions.)
Godzilla and Evangelion already inspired several collaborative efforts including concert.
In addition to co-writing and directing the Evangelion open on May 13, while Shin Kamen Rider will open in March 2023.
All the franchises have Anno's "Shin" prefix in their Japanese titles, which can mean many things, from "new" to "true." Anno has kept the meaning ambiguous in all titles.
Evangelion is Anno's most well-known work. It began with a landmark Shōtarō Ishinomori).
