Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival

Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival launched in Europe just a few days ago. Now that the western version is out, we’re hearing that Konami dropped a whole bunch of content.

For the English release, the device and database modes have been removed. There are additionally no duelist profiles, photos, ending pictures, and you can’t play music when you wish.

The Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival features 40 playable characters. In the localized edition, there are only 12:

– Yuma
– Astral
– ZEXAL
– Tori
– Reginald
– Kite
– Dr. Faker
– Vetrix
– Trey
– Quattro
– Alito
– Konami-kun (aka Hat Guy)

Finally, all mats and sleeves are automatically unlocked in the game from the get go.

Konami announced Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival’s localization today, but only for Europe. Apparently though, a North American launch is also in the cards.

The official Yu-Gi-Oh Facebook page claims that Zexal World Duel Carnival will arrive in the states in September. However, unlike Europe, it will be an eShop-only release.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival has been announced for Europe, and surprisingly, it will be available in just a few weeks. Konami confirmed today that the 3DS title will launch on June 26th.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival will arrive as a physical and digital product. If you purchase the former item, you’ll receive three highly collectable Yu-Gi-Oh! cards: Snow Plow Hustle Rustle, Night Express Knight and Special Schedule.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival is based on characters and events from the popular TV series. The game centres on the titular World Duel Carnival where 11 playable characters are vying to compete. Each character has a bespoke card deck, and this allows users to get straight into the action as they select their favourite character and enter hard-fought duels with the cards they hold.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival also allows the player to develop their character’s deck, with advanced users able to build a custom deck from the 5,500 cards the game contains. Similarly, a total of 40 characters from the TV show feature in the game, who players will meet as they prepare for the tournament. Newcomers to the series will also be able to hone their skills courtesy of the game’s tutorial elements, making Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival the perfect jump-on point for newcomers to the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Konami hasn’t announced Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival at the moment. If we do hear about a release here in the states, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Konami may have plans to bring Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival to the west. A rating for the title popped up on the OFLC yesterday, though the game hasn’t been announced for North America or Europe just yet. Perhaps we’ll be hearing something official from Konami soon?
