About This Game
The game's Story Mode lets players progress through Battle City tournaments against characters from the anime, culminating in a final duel with Marik. Unique 'Destiny Board' mechanic introduces special challenge duels with modified rules.
Worldwide Edition added support for the then-new TCG ban list and introduced the 'World Championship Mode' where players could duel using regional deck-building restrictions (OCG vs TCG rules).
Notable for its accurate card database and faithful recreation of card interactions, this version became a competitive player's reference tool before comprehensive online databases existed.
