Slate Warrior will be a real Tournament worthy card. Don't trade it away for something dumb. Its value will rise.

There will be a REAL (yes, REAL) "Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004" using this game. One world champion of the Trading Card Game...and one world champion of this video game (it uses the same turn based rules as the card game). So link up to your friends, start trading cards and building decks (up to 3).

Yu-Gi-Oh for 2004!!!!!Jan 04, 2004

Now, this game seems to be the best GBA game out there so far, here is a list of features...The artificial intelligence will be greatly improved then previous games to add a better more realistic feeling that your opponent is worthy. Also there is going to be over 1,000 cards in the database and you now will have the ability to create three different dueling decks. Also the graphics have greatly improved from the previous games, also with all the original characters from the original Yu-Gi-Oh TV show!!!! So I think this is going to be a real interesting game to say the least!!! Well, that's all, see ya'll!!!

BEST GAME EVER!!!Jul 15, 2004
By Matthew Baker
This is the best Yu-Gi-oh! Game ever made. The rules are just like the official rules ( So there is no level $hit ) and all the characters from the tv show are also featured. The cards from LOB, MRD, MRL, PSV, and LON. There will be some cards ( Dark Magician Girl, Wide-spread Ruin )that are later released and some ( Big Shield Gardna, Shine Palace ) that arent even released in America! The game is so great and the promos are cool. Defanitely pick this up!

Don't expect muchApr 18, 2004

I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in a game. This game is basically a bare bones version of the Eternal Duelist's Soul. The graphics have been slightly changed for the game board, and some cheesy music added. If you played that early game, you will be quite familiar with this.

The problem is, you don't even get the features included in that previous game. Want to speed up the game? Not a chance in options or holding down keys. Looking for a calendar with upcoming events? Nope. Characters talking to you? Nope. It probably took Konami longer to remove code from the Eternal Duelists Soul than it did to add any.

What's added? New cards? Hmm... A lot of low to midrange (600 to 1500 ATK), along with a couple decent ones. Nothing stunning. Why bother to invent a new card with ATK/DEF in the 800s? New AI? I can't detect it. Maybe they should have spent some time fixing the old AI since the computer characters still do stupid things like summon a good monster, then use Dark Hole or Torrential Tribute to kill it. They will still use a better card as tribute for a worse one. If you use Imperial Order or Royal Decree, they will still play spells and traps even though they won't work.

It is frustrating because this is a bandaid of a few graphics stuck on a gutted version of an older game. Shame on Konami for exploiting the market like this. Don't give them your money.

One Small Step Yu-Gi-Oh.....Jan 09, 2004

Review of Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2004
(New Persons' Guide Below Initial Review)

This Game will make Sacred Cards look like a bad joke! BUT if you enjoyed playing the god cards, well don't get your hopes up. This game will be ABSOLUTLY and TOTALY TRUE TO THE YU-GI-OH! GAME!!! I can't stress that enough. Also, since this game will resemble Yu-Gi-Oh! World Wide Edition and Eternal Duelist Soul, You'll have to eccept the "Step by Step" format, "Draw, Main, Attack, End Turn. Fortunatly, the Speed of transition between one phase to another is MUCH faster than Eternal Duelist Soul, for which for those of you who haven't played it yet ( or before) was painfully slow. It took a whole second to make any kind of action whatsoever. NOW World Wide Edition Improved the speed by a lot but still, At least in This game, you can toggle the speed >Yes!<

=========
The Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game has struck HUGE with people all over the U.S. Japan and even China. In Japan, The first Yu-Gi-Oh! Game Released was from the first Yu-Gi-Oh! Format, manga or Japanese Comic Books. The Trading card game was called
"Magic and Wizards" and thus, only occured in ONE Yu-Gi-Oh! Comic, "Cards with Teeth" When re-named "Duel Monsters" the Konami Company quickly adopted the title and released the first Yu-Gi-Oh Video Game (Game Boy) named Duel Monsters (1) and also 12 of the Prototype Trading Cards which were the first Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards EVER MADE. They were White Colored and Included "The Cyclops" (Hitotsu-me Giant) "Ryu Kishin" and others.
After the TITANIC release of DM1 The Konami corp. Decided to begin a TV Sires named "Gamble Master", an extremly low budget short Yu-Gi-Oh! film siries which included the manga (Comic) "Cards with teeth" After a few years (1996-98) The Company finally got the funding to create a Yu-Gi-Oh! Telivsion siries based on the card game. Thus, the Yu-Gi-Oh! you see today. America Adopted Yu-Gi-Oh! in Summer 2001. and saw instant succes. The Vidio game industry has also boomed. Since the first game, there has been 8 Duel Monsters Games in Japan, and if you want to know the first game in America? "Dark Duel Stories".....
