 The crossover was also possible due to Banpresto's parent company Bandai holding the merchandising rights for all the properties associated with this series.The series was successful with children thanks to the SD Gundam craze, but after the release of "Charinko Hero" for the GameCube, there were no new games afterward for nearly eight years.Banpresto released a new game in the series titled "Lost Heroes", for the Nintendo 3DS and the PlayStation Portable on September 2012.
