For the first time in the franchises history, there is a Yu-Gi-Oh! game headed to Nintendo 3DS and 2DS platforms. Publisher Konami Digital Entertainment have today announced that the game will be available from June 26th, 2014 in English as both a physical product and a digital download.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival is based on characters and events from the long-running TV series. The game centres on the titular World Duel Carnival where 11 playable characters are vying to compete. Each character has a bespoke card deck, and this allows users to get straight into the action as they select their favourite character and enter hard-fought duels with the cards they hold.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival also allows the player to develop their character’s deck, with advanced users able to build a custom deck from the 5,500 cards the game contains. Similarly, a total of 40 characters from the TV show feature in the game, who players will meet as they prepare for the tournament. Newcomers to the series will also be able to hone their skills courtesy of the game’s tutorial elements, making Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival the perfect jump-on point for newcomers to the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!
Distribution in Australia and New Zealand will be handled by Mindscape.
