[TCG] World Duel Carnival News

Posted on June 28, 2014 by NeoArkadia — 47 Comments ↓

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)

About NeoArkadia

NeoArkadia is the Number 2 in the Organization. However, almost all information about him seems to be under wraps or redacted. There is some speculation that he may be a rogue AI wandering the internet, intent on bringing people Yu-Gi-Oh! news and evolving itself through careful study of cat memes.

Core Shield

Typical japanese half assed port.

  Well, I’ve seen quite a few good Japanese localizations before.
  
  This, however, is 100% certainly not one of them.
- CureMarine
  
  Lol what? Generally when a game is localized and bought to the US, half assed or not, all of its content remains in the game. I’ve played plenty of “Half assed” localizations and their main problems are stuff like translation and grammar, etc. This is literally cutting content from the game, like A LOT of content. This is way worse then anything I can think of.

What’s so hard about a simple text translation??? The Tag Force games were fine, the WC games on the DS were generally fine; what went wrong?
- Adam Phillips
  
  because they made it a fucking eshop download instead of a full cartridge so they fucking saw fit to screw us out of everything good the game had, meaning don’t even bother buying it.
  - Tamaru
    
    Except it IS a cartridge game in EU, which makes this even more outrageous. This butchered travesty for a full priced 3DS game? Really? I’m tempted to send mine back.
    - Adam Phillips
      
      i mean for america. it sounds like they just butchered the american eshop version, but left the eurpoean cartridge version exactly the same as the japanese cartridge. idk since i don’t have a european 3ds and the system is region locked, but that’s what it sounds like which is why i’m even more pissed off. They not only denied america only the exclusive train cards, but now they gave us a half-assed version. Fuck you Konami.
      - Triix
        
        the euro cart/digital download is butchered. i’d know. i have the digital copy ;x and i live in the uk & i have a friend with the cart version, seems the same* butchered fucktardism
      - Adam Phillips
        
        wow….i really feel sorry you spent money on this butchered game before Konami fucking told us the truth behind it. I’m still pissed that they can’t even give us the fucking promo Train cards when you guys at least get those, so that’s still something over what we americans are getting. Still, get your damn money back or get at least something back. That’s a fucking slap in the face, it really is.
        I really do feel sorry for you and your friend.
- NeoArkadia
  
  This is pretty much what they did with Tag Force 5, it had all the secondary character content essentially gutted from the game.
  
  Someone in the US Offices really seems to think they can get away with ganking over 50% of the content and YGO players won’t notice, it’s disgusting.
  - Sardorim
    
    Secondary weren’t butchered too bad in Tag Force and I guess it makes sense considering it’s a ton of dialogue. Lack of VAing work sucked too but they were still very fun and I wish we had gotten Tag Force 6.
    - NeoArkadia
      
      Well we didn’t because they butchered TF5 so much that sales tanked.
Triix

The game has quite a few flaws within that. Bronk says Fairy Cheer Girl when he summons Aye-Iron. When you go over the obvious Structure Decks in the searching parts for cards in the deck buuilder, they’re still named after the OCG packs we don’t have (Duelist Pack Yuma 2 etc etc). A nice touch I did notice is though, when I was on Yumas story and I challanged Cathy to a duel, instead of Gagaga Girl, the sprite for the loading was Tori dressed as Gagaga Girl instead… even then, I dont watch the dub so I dont know if people know the whole thing behind that,
Onyxsbayne

Who the heck is Konami-kun?
- NeoArkadia
  
  Red Hat Guy.
  
  The Tag Force player character. He’s generally listed in promotional pictures as “KONAMI”.
Gaspar

I… I do not even…
- NeoArkadia
  
  know what to say about a game having 28 hours of content gutted?
  - Gaspar
    
    Pretty much.
    
    I know “lolTCG” is basically one of their mottos, but this is so… overkill, even for them.
    - NeoArkadia
      
      I suspect this is less on lolKevin and more on the gaming division, and what I’m hearing from a friend who tracks the gaming industry, Konami’s pretty much in the same level of cray-cray as Capcom.
bruce wayne

they say we dont get the games since we dont buy them. so they go and scoop the ice cream out and give us the damm cone and wonder why we dont buy them
- NeoArkadia
  
  Apparently asinine decisions are very common in Konami’s vidya game divisions, in general.
  - natchu96
    
    Not the only company that insists on selling things nobody really wants because nobody buys things they don’t want.
  - PowerSerg
    
    Konami appears to just be shit as of late, I can’t think of one good thing they have done lately. If Sukidoen 2 comes out in america for the psn then sure one thing.
- Sardorim
  
  I can understand “some” cuts but this is ridiculous. No Profiles, Photos, Ending Pictures(Even with the roster cut to 12 characters only) and that music thing?!
  
  What the actual **** are they thinking?!
Brandon Mazzola

And just like that I have cancer

Thank god I imported this thing
PowerSerg

So they took a shitty release that didn’t have a physical version and was two sets outdated then said “Hey how can we make this a worse value?” They apparently found out. I bought every Yugioh world champ game day one, i’ve bought near every yugioh game released in america, fuck this though. They need to release a game that is actually up to date or beyond up to date (I mean seriously 90% of the yugioh community knows what’s going on in the OCG). Then they have that free to play Trash game that charges a real life dollar per pack more or less.
- Triix
  
  you’d be surprised at the amount of people who know about the ocg. its quite a bit fewer than 90%, its usually a case of people who are up to date, tell the people who dont have any clue at all.
  - PowerSerg
    
    I think regardless if cards I didn’t know existed were included in a game id be happy to see new cards. I don’t think anyone would buy a yugioh game would be like “Fuck this game it has more content.”
- Sardorim
  
  Well game development wise it makes sense for why game’s are released behind sets as sets come out during development and when it’s ready to ship more stuff is already releasing.
  
  Still this is a ridiculous amount of cut content. The Tag Force games never were cut like this, at most they didn’t get any VAing work. Though shame we never got Tag Force 6 as Tag Force 5 ended on such a cliffhanger.
  - PowerSerg
    
    It doesn’t really make sense because the world championship games came out on the right set. The newest set was the set in the game. We would lack TCG exclusives but it doesn’t come out when the game was already sets old.
BGMaxie

Well this sucks balls then.

Anyone else think Konami needs to just stick with making the cards and anime from now on? First they make an unplayable free-to-play game (even the free part is a huge lie) which is severely buggy, and now they take half the content out of their newest game in 3 years? Come on now Konami stop doing this crap to us.
- NeoArkadia
  
  Konami doesn’t make the anime (bar the dub).
  
  The anime is the work of ADK, NAS and Studio Gallop.
- Sardorim
  
  At least Arc-V is pretty cool so far… Though the games getting butchered isn’t helping the Yugioh brand for sure.
BOSS

Buy Japanese version, choose English, Profit??? Is this an option?
- Dex
  
  3DS is region locked, so no
DistorteDPaladin

It’s just like DDR, beatmania, and pop’n music (USA versions) all over again.
Noir

…What?…

An abridged list of games I will never buy: Yu-Gi-Oh! World Duel Carnival.
Harry Clark

awww… i was looking forward to it?
Adam Phillips

guys…..I think we may be interpreting the information wrong. You don’t believe me, check out the official product page about the game on Konami’s official site: http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/products/world_duel_carnival.html

here’s the exact words from the product page:
In Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL World Duel Carnival, relive the story of the “World Duel Carnival” from the first season of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL animated series! Play as yourself or one of eleven playable characters from the series, like Yuma, Astral, Tori, Shark and more, each with their own storyline and earn an invite to the World Duel Carnival where you can battle with more than 40 Duelists from the TV show! Players can enjoy a Story Mode and a Free Duel Mode where they can play with more than 5,700 cards from the official Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME! Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL World Duel Carnival is the first Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL video game and the first Yu-Gi-Oh! video game to be released on the Nintendo 3DS.

Features:
-The very first Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL video game and the first Yu-Gi-Oh! video game available for the Nintendo 3DS!
-Relive the exciting “World Duel Carnival” episodes from the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL animated series with twelve playable characters, each with a unique storyline that can be experienced through Story Mode!
-Battle with more than 40 colorful Duelists, a vast variety of characters to test your Dueling skills against!

-In-game animated cinematics, and exciting Monster summon effects bring Duels to life like never before!
-Explore all the options in Free Duel Mode and customize card sleeves, game mats, and even Deck Lists to Duel for hours!

Now…..if that doesn’t sound like the version Japan got, then tell me exactly what that description means. There’s even an image of Free Duel where it has the character select screen and there’s WAY MORE than 12 characters. To me, I think we’re only losing the Device and Database modes, the Duelist Profiles, the Photos, the Ending Pictures, and the Music.

Everyone please read the product page on the official Konami Yugioh website and see if we really are getting the full package that Japan got minus a couple of things that are the usual cut-outs with games like this.
- Sardorim
  
  It makes no sense to removing Profiles and Ending Pictures at all.
  - Adam Phillips
    
    or to remove the other story modes for the other characters. I saw someone review the japanese version and it looks like the only things we lost were everything i already stated and the other 28 characters’ stories, but if Free Duel is still the same, then every single card in the game should be available from the start in Free Duel, so you could just create every character’s deck yourself and do Free Duel to play as those characters (sort of).
    After trying to figure everything out, it’s gonna be one of those games that’s preference if you want to get it or not. It’s not terrible like I initially said it was, but it’s still disappointing that we can’t play as Rio, the other Barians, Quinton, and every other character they cut from Story Mode, but you can still build their decks and “be them” in Free Duel mode, so it’s at least something.
Gareth Willey

I’ve been playing the game since 3 days after it came out, and considering the fact I’ve been dueling since 09′, I will admit I have found it challenging for me, so in a sense, I am partly glad they removed some of the characters… Maybe in the future they will release more characters as (free?) DLC? Considering I’ve played 28 hours and have only completed 5 “storylines”. I would say if we had all 40, I would find it to repetitive really, and it has no Wireless features, which I believe were also lacking in the Japanese version. So I see why they released Duel Arena on the same day though. Bring on an Arc-V game then please!

Hollande has said the 2013 budget will restore the pre-Sarkozy wealth tax rates on people with assets above 1.3 million euros. A one-off contribution is being imposed this year before the levy is overhauled.
