Konami to Release 'Yu Gi Oh! Crimson Crisis'


Recommended Posts

fox.jpg Konami Digital Entertainment has announced that it will hold hobby store sneak peek events for Crimson Crisis, the next booster set for the Yu Gi Oh! TCG, on the weekend of February 28th and March 1st, followed by a release date of March 3rd for Crimson Crisis Boosters.

 

slippy.jpgKonami is offering sneak peek event kits directly to hobby stores, each of which will contain support for sixteen players: 96 packs (five packs to build with and one extra for participating for each player), 16 Duelist participation cards (Colossal Fighter/Assault Mode promo card), four foldable deck boxes (two for top players, and two for random giveaways) and thank you letters and instruction sheets. The Crimson Crisis booster packs will be sold to hobby retailers by distributors.

 

peppy.jpgThe Crimson Crisis set is a 100-card set with 48 commons (8:1), 20 Rares (1:1), 14 Super Rares (1:5) and 10 Ultra Rares (1:12). The set “…introduces new cards used by Yusei, Jack and Aki in addition to the mega powerful Assault Mode monsters,” according to Yumi Hoashi, Vice President of Card Business for KDE, along with “a Red Dragon Archfield/Assault Mode card which allows Duelists to upgrade their decks to the more powerful assault mode.”

 

fox.jpg Upper Deck recently announced that it would not be releasing Crimson Crisis as a result of its dispute with Konami (see “No YGO Crimson Crisis”), which announced that it is terminating its relationship with Upper Deck. The news that product will be flowing again is good news for retailers; Yu Gi Oh! is the #2 CCG brand over-all (see “Top Fall 2008 CCGs”). Konami’s Crimson Crisis release may have been delayed by the need to develop new packaging in the wake of the company’s split with Upper Deck.

We may've lost the Sneak' date=' but with UDE Day and the fact that we're still getting CRMS, I'm fine with this arrangement. ^_^

fox.jpg: God can nobody hear me? I feel like freaking Slippy over here.

 

slippy.jpg: Hey! Whats that supposed to mean?!

 

Isn't it "Andross"?

 

You may be right. I thought it was Andros of the pun that they fought an Android Andross in the end.

Your going to Boycott your own locals? O.O

 

Considering what Konami is doing is illegal, yeah, I'm not gonna support criminals.

You only fight Android Andross at the end of the game if you're bad at it.

There's an unconfirmed effect for it...

 

...and it sucks. As a matter of fact, it doesn't have one. (besides the standard /assault mode lore)

The part of the card listed is just extrapolation based on what all the other Slash-Busters are like. There is no official information whatsoever regarding its effect.

I don't think there's even been official information Colossal even had a Buster.

 

Idk, that italicized article's in the style of the other Sneak notification articles. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the article on the link posted was copy and pasted from a more official site, possibly the TCG homepage.

 

Anyway, can't wait for Dark Voltanis' effect.

Colossal Fighter Assault hopefully lets you Summon a ton of Warriors once it gets destroyed and probably gains more ATK than before

 

Im really hoping that its good' date=' it could turn the tide for Warriors

I thought we were all in agreement that Buster's can't just be splashed into a deck, and need a dedicated decktype. <_<
