1. Heart of The Cards
Following fast on
heels of Pokemon,
latest rage to ride
tsunami from
isle of machination to global domination is, Yu-Gi-Oh!
2. The Guantlet Is Thrown
Like
industry legend Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! is a game and a show. But, this game is not video, it is a highly addictive card game. Pokemon had cards too and Yu-Gi-Oh! has a video game as well, but this card game is a much bigger deal, rivaling
likes of
widespread MAGIC
Gathering series of card games. Popular it is, this game of cards.
3. Journey to The Duelists Kingdom
A side-by-side comparison of
latest phenomenon with
legend goes like this: In its first 3 years in Japan, Pokemon sold 10 million video games and 600 million cards. After 3 years in Japan, Yu-Gi-Oh! sold 7 million video games and 3 BILLION cards. So, Yu-Gi-Oh! is a video game too, but
cards are where
attraction lies. So far, Pokemon has sold 90 million video games and 6 billion cards. If Yu-Gi-Oh! stays on par with Pokemon it may end up having one of
largest followings of any game in history.
4. Duel Monsters
So who or what is Yu-Gi-Oh!, anyway?
The show excels with
highly-kinetic Japanese anime style and follows
adventures of a shy high school student named Yugi. Yugi is not a popular kid and takes
blunt of many high school bullies, but is able to escape this ridicule when an ancient Egyptian artifact, known as “The Millennium Puzzle”, transports him into a magical realm where
popular card game, Duel Monsters, comes to life!
5. Millennium Puzzle
The Millennium Puzzle carries a deep secret buried deep within it. When Yugi finds himself in a bit of trouble, which often
case,
puzzle comes to life and invites Yugi to, “How about playing a game with me?”
6. The Ultimate Great Moth
Intricate, that is what makes Yu-Gi-Oh! so immensely popular. Details, that’s what it’s got in spades. Details out
Yin Yang! Vibrantly rich details providing a “real world” that deeply submerses
players and viewers in a complex and entertaining experience.
