Konami announced their yearly Yu-Gi-Oh PSP game in Japan, but it won’t see a release in North America. Don’t worry Yu-Gi-Oh fans, a game based on Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds is in development for the Wii. Usually, this isn’t the kind of thing I would report, but my interest piqued when a Konami representative told me it wouldn’t be like any other Yu-Gi-Oh game to date. I said, “No cards or dice?” He replied, “Think racing.”
I stood their quizzically for a moment imagining a mix of F-Zero and Panzer Dragoon. On second thought, I don’t think this Yu-Gi-Oh game will be that exciting. Yu-Gi-Oh for the Wii will probably be the new anime characters riding D-Wheel motorcycles with tilt control.
On second thought… I wonder if this has to do with Konami trademarking Wheelie Breakers in the USA and Japan. Yu-Gi-Oh: Wheelie Breakers?
