Yugioh Capsule Monster Coliseum

[Astro Dude]

Fans of the classic Yugioh Anime rejoice. Now I can talk about my most favorite among all the classic series Yugioh games:

 

Reshef of Destruction I mean Yugioh Capsule Monster Coliseum. The best of all the classic Yugioh games, before Stardust Accellerator, the last of the games to feature every monster in 3d models. Anywho, Why do I like this game? Well the only reason is the Voice Acting. Yes, This game unites the entire cast of the anime, and was one of the last games Maddie Blaustein did voice work. Gameplay wise, it be like chess. Speaking of, the game takes place on 25 different boards, each one reflecting the opponent in a way. The character artwork is beautiful, voice acting is superb, Boards are excellent.

 

Speaking of voice acting: A bit of trivia. It's about Mai Valentine. The game's release was November 26, 2004 in America. The waking the Dragon arc episode An Unexpected Enemy, aired in America October 23, 2004. If I had to guess, I'd say Megan Hollingshead, the original voice of Mai, did the voice work for the game, before she transferred her role to Erica Schroeder (Bella Hudson) for Waking the Dragons.

 

The dialogue is priceless: And with some old reminders.

 

Yami Yugi: Mai, just to let you know, I don't think you can use perfume on your pieces to win, like you did at Duelist Kingdom.

 

Among the boards, two are my favorite: Sacred Street for the Christmas theme and Neverending Site for the best theme in the game:

And if you remember the va's you'll remember what roles they play.

 

Gameplaywise, you can fuse or evolve monsters provided the proper conditions are met. Also, like pokemon each monster has 1 of 8 attributes: Light, Dark Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, Wind and Thunder. Each has it's own strengths and weanesses: Light>Dark and Dark> Earth, Fire>Wood, Water>Fire, Wind>Water, Thunder>Light, Earth>Thunder, Wood>Wind. Okay, for being my favorite of all the games I did not explain this very well. Info is found here:

If any of you like this game, tell me what you think. As for me, I have 24 different save files, 3 for each of the eight attributes.

It's one of my favorite games on the PS2.  I wish my disk wasn't in such a bad shape though.

I wish they'd do a remake for PS3/PS4 and even 360/XBOXOne, I had so much fun playing this. I had more fun trying to unlock more cards than beating opponents tbh

You mean

I Still have my PS2, and this game, still in great condition.

 

I wish they'd do a remake for PS3/PS4 and even 360/XBOXOne, I had so much fun playing this. I had more fun trying to unlock more cards than beating opponents tbh

I wish for that too, and like Legacy of the Duelist, have the main protag battle other characters, like Jaden can battle in Tier 1 Syrus, Chumley, Bastion, Alexis and Chazz.

 

But that would be stretching it. Besides, they would probably use the voice clips from the original, and have better graphics, but that's just me, and I think you mean collecting capsules, And to be honest, I had lots of fun beating the opponents and read their dialogues too.

 

And the boards are well made. Bandit Keith had a bandit's dream board, a treasure room. Yami Bakura, a dark board to reflect his evil personality, but the true test is Aerial Palace against Seto Kaiba. That was a duel for the ages.
