Beloved Franchise Returns With Fast-Paced Dueling Action Based on the New Animated Series

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Mar. 10, 2009 – Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced that Yu-Gi-Oh!™ 5D’s Wheelie Breakers for the Nintendo Wii™ and Yu-Gi-Oh!™ 5D’s Stardust Accelerator: World Championship 2009 for the Nintendo DS™ are currently in development and set to launch in May 2009. The latest iterations in the popular franchise are based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s series on the 4Kids Network, which takes place in the future and features Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlus, the hottest duelists in Neo Domino City.

Based on “Riding Duel” in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s animated series, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Wheelie Breakers introduces players to a fast-paced twist on a racing game. Yusei and Jack duel in a new motor sport called “Wheelie Breakers” that combines card dueling with duel wheel racing. As they race around the track in their Duel Runner motorcycles, players call upon monsters from their decks to battle their opponents and prevent them from finishing the race. Using achievement points which players receive based on their race results, they can purchase new cards and add them to their decks providing upgrades.

Update: I noted that Rockstar was the company involved in this quote, but Take-Two actually said the words (Rockstar is under Take-Two control though). My apologies!

Even though the Wii and DS have seen a few mature titles, there hasn’t exactly been a wide array of content to choose from. Rockstar is providing the DS with M-rated content in GTA: Chinatown Wars and SEGA recently released the ultra-violent MadWorld. Other than that though, there hasn’t been much to choose from. However, according to company chairman Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two “is the right company” for mature games on both the Wii and DS.

“I do believe there is an opportunity for M-rated titles on Nintendo — on the DS and on the Wii. I believe we’re the right company to be delivering that content.”
