FOR NINTENDO’S GAME BOY® ADVANCE
New
Card-Battling RPG Entry in Blockbuster Franchise –
Featuring New Story and New Cards
REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. - April 7, 2004 Konami
Digital Entertainment – America, a division of
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., announced today
that it will release the next installment of the
internationally acclaimed Yu-Gi-Oh!™
franchise, Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of
Destruction for Nintendo’s Game Boy®
Advance. Launching in June 2004, the new Yu-Gi-Oh!
role playing game (RPG) recreates the experience of
the popular trading card game as it offers fans of
the franchise an all-new adventure, featuring 800
unique cards, including all three Egyptian god
cards.
Boasting a top-rated television show and one of the
best-selling trading card games in the world,
Yu-Gi-Oh! is an enormous video game phenomenon
with more than six million units shipped in North
America to date. The release of the game comes at a
time when Yu-Gi-Oh! fever will be at an
all-time high as a Yu-Gi-Oh! adventure is
set to grace the silver screen in the United States
later this year.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction, the sequel
to the overwhelming hit Yu-Gi-Oh! The
Sacred Cards, pits players against Reshef - “The
Dark Being” - who if left unchecked will shroud the
world in a mire of darkness and destruction. In
battles with more than 100 duelists, players must
build their decks and gain experience, even as new
twists and turns threaten to derail efforts to stop
evil. As players explore all around the world, they
will have to buy and sell, even wager, their cards
to create an unbeatable deck in order to stop Reshef
and restore order.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction is rated
“E” for Everyone by the ESRB. Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef
of Destruction comes packed with three
exclusive limited edition Yu-Gi-Oh! cards:
Dark Magician Knight, Knight’s Title and Sage’s
Stone. |
