Konami brought the Yu-Gi-Oh! Saikyou Card Battle 3DS game to the Japanese Nintendo eShop this week and with it new information regarding how the game plays and looks have come out.
Take a look at the first minutes of gameplay from the new game from YouTube user Xeogran , via Nintendo Everything , to see the Tutorial.
As you can see, when you first boot up the game, you’ll meet Kaiba before meeting with a woman (dressed as a nurse?) as she teaches you the basics of Duel Monsters.
But in Saikyou Card Battle, the duels are much different. You’ll be having Speed Duels instead of the normal ones. Speed Duels limit each player’s lifepoints to 4000 instead of 8000 and only three monsters and three traps/spells can be on their side of the field at a time, which is half of what is normally allowed.
We also get to see some, admittedly, impressive battle graphics when monsters are summoned and attack. From previous scans of the game, and how past Yu-Gi-Oh! Games worked, we figured only signature monsters would get the animation but we see here that every monster used in battle had a 3D model.
According to V-Jump -- via The Organization -- Saikyou Card Battle will center around a brand new tournament held after Battle City known as the Legend Challenge.
Saikyou Card Battle is available now in the Japanese Nintendo eShop, no word on a North American release has been given but we’ll update as soon as we learn more.
So what do you think of the new Yu-Gi-Oh! 3DS game? Let us know in the comments section below.
