Summary
Yamato Delgado dreams of playing B-Daman, the ancient sport of the B-DaWorld--and his dream comes true when he's chosen to wield Cobalt Blade, the most powerful B-Daman ever. Yamato must use Cobalt Blade to compete in B-Daman tournaments and defeat the evil B-Daplayers of the Shadow Alliance, who will stop at nothing to take over the B-DaWorld. Yamato will also meet characters both familiar and unknown on his journeys, including the warm-hearted Alan and the sinister-looking Goblin. Only a few have what it takes to become a B-Daplayer; will Yamato become the B-Dachampion? [Atlus]

It's not perfect and I'd liked to have seen more competent AI, but I found my time in the B-DaWorld to be spent well and I look forward to returning there ... in about ten minutes.

Harkening back to when simple games and concepts entertained us all, Battle B-Damam reinvents the classic marble games of yore with mixed results.

Despite being a part of a product-tie-in-machine, Battle B Daman does offer an above-average gameplay experience that makes it a worthy stand-alone game. [Sep 2006, p.85]
IGN
There are still some awesome battles, and the customization is pretty strong, but the overarching gameplay will draw thin eventually, and when it does, be it after a few dozen or a few hundred face-offs, there’s nothing more to see.

Battle B-Daman fails to capture the fun, dynamic nature of the tabletop game it's based on.
