New Card-Battling RPG Entry in Blockbuster Franchise - Featuring New Story and New Cards

REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. - April 7, 2004 - Konami Digital Entertainment - America, a division of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., announced today that it will release the next installment of the internationally acclaimed Yu-Gi-Oh!(tm) franchise, Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction for Nintendo's Game Boy® Advance. Launching in June 2004, the new Yu-Gi-Oh! role playing game (RPG) recreates the experience of the popular trading card game as it offers fans of the franchise an all-new adventure, featuring 800 unique cards, including all three Egyptian god cards.

Boasting a top-rated television show and one of the best-selling trading card games in the world, Yu-Gi-Oh! is an enormous video game phenomenon with more than six million units shipped in North America to date. The release of the game comes at a time when Yu-Gi-Oh! fever will be at an all-time high as a Yu-Gi-Oh! adventure is set to grace the silver screen in the United States later this year.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction, the sequel to the overwhelming hit Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards, pits players against Reshef - "The Dark Being" - who if left unchecked will shroud the world in a mire of darkness and destruction. In battles with more than 100 duelists, players must build their decks and gain experience, even as new twists and turns threaten to derail efforts to stop evil. As players explore all around the world, they will have to buy and sell, even wager, their cards to create an unbeatable deck in order to stop Reshef and restore order.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction is rated "E" for Everyone by the ESRB. Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction comes packed with three exclusive limited edition Yu-Gi-Oh! cards: Dark Magician Knight, Knight's Title and Sage's Stone.
