Dueling, and having conversations with other duelists, also advancing in the in-game calendar. It's important to keep ticking off the days, as you can only duel at major events on Saturdays and you'll get fresh cards delivered every Monday in your copy of the "Duelist Weekly." Ass you move through time, you'll also move from neighborhood to neighborhood. New challengers will be around every corner, and their cards are yours for the taking.

You can build a powerful deck just by playing the game, entering codes from actual trading cards or trading virtual cards with your friends via Game Link Cable. The real thrill of Worldwide Edition is competing against friends - even friends who don't speak your language. Worldwide Edition lives up to it's name by giving you the option to play in Japanese, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Think of Worldwide Edition as the UN's handheld gaming. Gamers from many lands will be as one while they huddle over the tiny, reflective screens of their GBAs. And all of them will aspire to be the world champion, and that dream will become one person's reality.
