    The game has a robust solo mode that smartly challenges the player to rethink his approach as he battles against a diverse collection of card-slingin' strategists. [Oct 2005, p.99]

    Great graphics, an updated card database and an excellent pseudo-adventure mode make this the franchise's best handheld effort to date.

    I admit that I adore Yu-Gi-Oh! It's a great card game that translates perfectly to the videogame medium.

    The best thus far of the Yu-gi-oh! franchise. Not for doing anything new, but for making the best translation of the card game into digital form. Is it a sign of things to come?

    A game like this is meant to be shared. The best thing about Nightmare Troubadour is that, whether your friends are into it or not, there's a long list of battles that are waiting to be conquered. Or waiting to conquer you.

    It's simply a blueprint as to where the future of Yu-Gi-Oh games can go on the DS. Hopefully Konami can capitalize on a golden opportunity for a sequel.

    The Yu-Gi-Oh card design is filled with a lot of strategy and depth, and because it's all done on the DS handheld you don't have to invest money in a ton of cards to get into the action.

    For fans of the card game, Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightmare Troubadour is a dream come true. The game takes everything that has made the card game so popular for years, and faithfully puts it all together in one convenient handheld package.

    Nightmare Troubadour is marginally more successful than many of its predecessors to this end, thanks to an engaging tutorial system and the tactile advantage inherent to the Nintendo DS hardware.

    Players on the fringe of the card game, however, will find more frustration than fun in Nightmare Troubadour.

    Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightmare Troubadour is the first Yu-Gi-Oh! game released for the Nintendo DS. The main plot of the game is 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, Joey Wheeler, and friends. The overall game-play is rather average and can be repetitive. Twists in the plot are infrequent meaning a lot of the time you will be doing the same thing over again. The graphics don't really push the DS to the limit, neither does it show much detail. However, despite its flaws, Nightmare Troubadour is a pretty decent game and it's one of the good Yu-Gi-Oh! games out.… Full Review »
