Yu-Gi-Oh!'s...

Left Wing jAy

I love me some Yu-Gi, but the last and indeed only game i've played is the 2004 Ed. on the GBA. I'm looking to move onto the DS.

Money's an issue, and 'Nightmare Troubador' is available for like £12, which is good.

Is it worth spending some extra cheddar on one of the more recent updates, like 'Spirit Caller' or the 2007 World Championship thing? I'm concerned about AI and amount of features really.

'Duel Academy' sounded cool on the GBA, gave you extra stuff to do rather than just navigate a set map and duel, so I wondered if 'Spirit Caller' does the same on the DS. Importantly though, i'm not interested in the spin-off games, I just want card duelling (Duellists of the Roses on Ps2 was...upsetting in this regard).

Reviews on these games aren't too easy to get from trusted sources, so if anyone with any experience with them could help, that'd be safe as fuck.

Im sorry, but as a Brit myself I must ask:

spending some extra cheddar?

Ive never heard that ever. What does it mean? Money? Is it rhyming slang I just dunno.


As for Yu-Gi-Oh, how cool would an Eye of Judgement game be for that. Its practically exactly the animated series.

muninn

cheddar = monies

From my understand, Spirit Caller is what you're looking for. It's basically Duel Academy with a more structured plot and such, and a few gameplay twists (Duel Spirits) and just some cool extra stuff (character customization).

Both Spirit Caller and 2007 tourny edition have wifi.

Nightmare Troubador does not.

Ahh yes, cheddar...money...don't know where I picked that up.


The cheapest i've seen Spirit Caller is basically RRP, £25, which would seriously dampen my chance of getting something else too (I've borrowed the DS from a family member, and have 1 or 2 decent games available).

Hard to gauge if it's worth double the price for Nightmare Troubador (which I suppose is identical to what i've played for hours on the GBA, except with touch support).

Spirit Caller if you care at all about playing through a "story mode"

If you just want to throw down some Yu-gi-oh cards, World Championship 2007 is the one for you.

I like WC07 more, personally. Having to walk around to find matches in SC was pretty dumb, as I often wanted to sneak in a quick game before doing something else.

Alternatively Yu-gi-Os would be an awsome ceral.

As as Yugi fan myself, I imported word championship 2007 and certainly was not dissapointed. There's no fucking around with a story and its just straight up dueling. There's the usual gripes such as they left out key cards for certain themes, but all in all its a good game. Not to mention that its out here in blighty in a few weeks.

Guys! Stop making me want to re-re buy another Yu-Gi-Oh game. But really, how many Yugi games do there need to be? Are there any significant updates? I consider buying a DS version but remember that the GBA version had all the cards I knew of. Are the DS versions just card/rule updates with some extras like a story mode and touchscreen? And Wi-Fi dueling of course.

From what I can tell, 'GX Spirit Summoner' adds a few twists to the GBA game, 'GX Duel Academy'.

The PSP one, Tag Force, sounds like a different take on the actual game.

Nightmare Troubador and Tournament 2007 are basically just updates with cards etc.

Really can't decide what I want, it's painful, not to mention incredibly driven by price. DS games are so expensive.

I remember playing Duelist of the Rose and liking it. Keep in mind I never played the Yu-gi-Oh card game at all, I had only watched the show. Speaking of which was there ever a Yu-Gi-Oh game that followed the storyline of the show at all?

Don't mean to hijack, but I've got WC 2004, and it's good an all - but I'm a Magic the Gathering man at heart, and like CCGs where you have to use mana to cast.

Is their any MtG-a-likes for gba/ds? Will there be?

If you're familiar with the VS system at all, there's a Marvel Trading Card Game coming out on the DS soon. I played it a ton on the PSP and loved it.

Hmmm. No idea what the VS system is - but if it's even slightly like MtG I'm all over it. I love marvel.

Cheers.

Someone else plays Vs!!! OMGWTF!!!

J/K...just surprised to see someone who plays it who doesn't go to one of the boards for it.

To Lave: Yes, it is a very awesome game and I would suggest you play it. Only problem I have with the game is that they only have Marvel's portion and they didn't add DCs stuff(probably because of copyright issues) heres to hoping they add DC stuff in the future though.

I played Vs. System Hardcore until the Avengers Set.

Shit, I still have all my old cards.

Brian: Peter, those are Yu-gi-Os.

I've just looked VS up on wikipedia. My God. Unless the DS version gets as panned as the SNK/Capcom game I'm buying like a hundred copies.

Left Wing jAy

Hmm I had briefly heard about that being released...Not sure on its status in the UK though.

Card battles are cool as fuck, but i've enjoyed relatively brief spells with them. MtG I had some collectors box and played a few games, Yu-Gi-Oh Wc 2004 was my longest stint.

I think i'll pick up Nightmare Troubador for now, it's cheap and online isn't really an option at the moment. I'm also unlikely to meet anyone else with a copy of something like this.

Yugilicous? Is that even a word? Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abrigded Series rules!
Sorry for not having anything to say about the threads original topic.

I'm not really sorry

Speaking of videogame themed cereal, there really should be a God of War themed cereal called 'Krat-O's'
