Apparently a lot of content was dropped from the English Release…
The Device and Database modes in the Japanese game have been removed for English release. There are also no Duelist Profiles, no Photos, no Ending Pictures and no Music to play when you wish.
All mats and sleeves are automatically unlocked in the game from the get go.
There are only 12 Playable Characters in the game, unlike the game’s original 40:
- Yuma
- Astral
- ZEXAL
- Tori
- Reginald
- Kite
- Dr. Faker
- Vetrix
- Trey
- Quattro
- Alito
- Konami-kun (aka Hat Guy)
OLD STORY
Hadn't seen a thread about this yet
http://www.konami.co.uk/2014/05/14/yu-gi-oh-zexal-world-duel-carnival-coming-to-3ds/
Yu-Gi-Oh! is heading to the 3DS for the first time on June 26th, in the upcoming card-battling title Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival. This will also be the first game set in the Zexal universe, and will follow the likes of Yuma, Tori, Kite and Shark as they try to win the World Duel Carnival.
There are 11 playable characters in total, each with their own story and bespoke card decks, meaning that users can jump straight into the action with their favourite character. World Duel Carnival is a great game for first-time Yu-Gi-Oh! players, with step-by-step tutorials and an Easy Mode allowing users to get to grips with the game’s mechanics, before going on to learn more complex strategies. More experienced players, meanwhile, will want to build their own custom deck, and the game allows users to do precisely this, with over 5,500 unique cards to build it from.
Expect the game to take full advantage of the handheld’s glasses-free 3D capabilities, with card activation animations popping out of the screen during battles, and beautifully drawn anime cut scenes in between duels for users to enjoy. The bottom screen, meanwhile, will allow players to manipulate the Duel Field with intuitive touch screen controls.
World Duel Carnival will be available for the 3DS either in physical cartridge format, or as a digital download via the eShop, both of which have a RRP of €39,95. The boxed version comes with three exclusive collectible cards too: Snow Plow Hustle Rustle, Night Express Knight and Special Schedule! You can read the full press release below:
KONAMI announces first Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal title for Nintendo 3DS
Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. has announced it will release Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival for Nintendo 3DS on June 26th.
The new title will be available as both a physical and digital product, and is the first time the series has graced the 3DS system. It also marks the first use of the popular Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal universe within KONAMI’s video game series.
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!
Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival will be available digitally via the Nintendo eShop or as a cartridge, the latter of which is exclusively packaged with three highly collectable Yu-Gi-Oh! cards: Snow Plow Hustle Rustle, Night Express Knight and Special Schedule.
