Unfortunately, I do not think this is able to pass WP:GNG. Despite being a long and overly-detailed page, there isn't a single source here to be found and comes off as fancruft. The only actual review I could find is one from Famitsu, which isn't enough to make this notable. Outside of brief mentions and some announcements, I could find nothing else.

Redirect to Battle Gear Like the nom said, the only sources out there are short news blurbs. Not the type of significant coverage we want. However, there are enough games in the series that a series article seems feasible. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 19:28, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Battle Gear: while it's possible more Japanese-language sources exist that demonstrate notability that's beyond my research ken, I don't think what I've found indicates that there's a ton that can justify a separate article (the Japanese-language version of this article disappointingly doesn't provide anything that's useful.)

Battle Gear 4 is also an article so that likely should be redirected as well.--76.67.170.18 (talk) 03:50, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
