Display

Top Screen

The top screen features a 3-D board game view of the duel. When a monster attacks, one can watch it use its individual attack to destroy the target monster. Also, certain important monsters (Blue Eyes, Dark Magician, ect) have special full 3-D animations that play when they are summoned.

Touch Screen

The touch screen has an overhead view. One can use the touch screen to draw and play cards by touching them with the stylus.

Gameplay

Seto Kaiba is hosting a tournament again. Once again, there is an evil plot lurking behind an otherwise grand contest. As the player, you have to battle for the title of grand champion, capture all the god cards, and defeat evil with the help of Yugi Muto ("Yugi Mutou" in the English manga and Japanese versions), Joey Wheeler ("Katsuya Jonouchi"), and friends.

Overall gameplay can be pretty repetitive with infrequent twists. Also, there have been many "Engrish" quotes in the game. The plot basically follows the Battle City storyline with the Virtual World story arc happening before the final tournament and Yami Marik (Dark Marik) and his minions appearing after the final tournament.
