More Yu-Gi-Oh in 5D

Last week, we already covered Konami's announcement of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator : World Championship 2009 for Nintendo DS. Today we add Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Wheelie Breakers for Wii to that line-up.

Konami today announced that Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Wheelie Breakers for the Wii is currently in development and set to launch in May 2009. The latest iteration in the popular franchise are based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's series on the 4Kids Network, which takes place in the future and features Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlus, the hottest duelists in Neo Domino City.

Based on "Riding Duel" in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's animated series, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Wheelie Breakers introduces players to a fast-paced twist on a racing game. Yusei and Jack duel in a new motor sport called "Wheelie Breakers" that combines card dueling with duel wheel racing. As they race around the track in their Duel Runner motorcycles, players call upon monsters from their decks to battle their opponents and prevent them from finishing the race. Using achievement points which players receive based on their race results, they can purchase new cards and add them to their decks providing upgrades.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Wheelie Breakers takes full advantage of the Nintendo Wii as players use the Wii Remote for competitive card dueling and Duel Runner racing. Gamers can also use the Nunchuk during races, allowing for split-second maneuvers including, acceleration, steering and recovery. Various gameplay modes are also offered including Story Mode, Grand Prix Mode and Competition Multiplayer Mode with up to 4 friends in racing split screen.

  Why doesn't Konami release it on Wii like Pokemon Battle Coliseum? Using each player's NDS as controller and watch full 3D battle glory on Wii.

  Yes I did, thanks for noticing. I am still rooting for some more Wii-DS interaction. Pretty much all my friends has DSs and that would be great to use them on my Wii. Pokemon Coliseum did a pretty decent job, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is alright, but the best interaction game is still DC's games like Sonic board game.
