Our Japanese and Japanophile chums love the Shonen Jump manga family as much as they love trading cards games. Luckily when it comes to Yu-Gi-Oh! they don?t have to choose. Yu-Gi-Oh! tells the story of a demanding strategy game played by the ancient Egyptians. The dark powers involved were strong that just playing the game would be enough to corrupt those with weak wills and black hearts. In the end, the game destroyed all the ancient Egyptians who played it. Fast forward to the present day, and a young boy called Yugi discovers the game and quickly becomes proficient at it. But a source of such great power quickly attracts the attention of some of the most ambitious villains on the planet?? It is of course, no accident of plot that Yu-Gi-Oh! features a game. Many such manga/anime titles (often ending in ?-mon?) centre around a game or competition so that devotees can further immerse themselves in the universe by playing the trading card game. This tie-in model is also often extended to the world of videogames. And Yu-Gi-Oh! is no newcomer to the world of videogames ? as a quick perusal of the SPOnG database will confirm. But now the series makes its debut on the Nintendo DS handheld system. And the game makes full use of the machine?s unique features. Using the touch screen, would-be card battlers navigate a city map. Then, when you find an opponent, the touch screen shows the cards being played in 2D, while the top screen uses the DS?s powers to show monsters rising from their cards in full 3D splendour. Wi-Fi connectivity isn?t ignored either, and you can duel your friends with no strings attached, as well as adding them to buddy lists. And the system?s internal clock gets a workout, too, with the time of day determining the calibre of duellists you?re likely to meet ? the real pros, it would seem, come out in the evenings. Once again here?s a game that uses the DS in a creative way.
