Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2007 launches in April
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH showcases social elements of Yu-Gi-Oh! as new DS title uses Wi-Fi capabilities for global dueling
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced it will launch Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2007 for Nintendo DS in April, offering users an opportunity to play the ever-popular Trading Card Game against friends via the Nintendo machine’s wireless and Wi-Fi facilities.
The official game of the annual Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament, the DS title offers a stunning simulation of the Trading Card Game, with users constructing, organising and dueling using the stylus. Every aspect of the Trading Card Game has been faithfully recreated, and the DS game includes all 1600 of the latest cards, allowing for even more attacking, spell-casting and defending possibilities. Also, owners of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Spirit Caller for DS will be able to trade entire decks between the two games and, after beginning the game, can access every card in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Spirit Caller via the game’s card recipe.
Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2007 also includes a wealth of dueling possibilities. An extensive array of options allow for single-player duels against a host of CPU-controlled opponents; Limited Duels wherein only certain cards are available; and Survival Duels where the aim is simply to beat a succession of duelists for as long as possible. The social element of the Trading Card Game is also enhanced via wireless and Wi-Fi modes, allowing players to compete with friends or against players from all over the world.
Wireless games can be played between two players with copies of the game, while the Wi-Fi mode opens the challenge to players from all over. Cards can also be traded and swapped via these wireless options as players look to strengthen their packs, and Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2007 also supports the Nintendo Wi-Fi’s Voice Chat feature, allowing players to chat to each other before each duel. In keeping with previous Konami titles, the game also comes with three limited edition Yu-Gi-Oh! cards for use in the Trading Card Game.
