Countdown to Generation Force

If the new Starter Deck for YuGiOh! Zexal didn't get your interest levels up for Xyz Summons, then we're pretty sure Generation Force will. We're now only a week away from the first Sneak Peek of the new era, and a fortnight away from the booster's official release.

In our store, we were surprised to see that the first official tournament after the release of the new starter deck already had a few players finding a slot for an Xyz or two - seems they're going down well here at least. If the ones you've got so far haven't tempted you, then there's a few in the new set that might just convince you to find room in the extra deck - Tiras, Keeper of Genesis in particular is one to watch out for I think.

Zexal's First Duelist Pack and Other News

Confirmed for release recently in Japan, for the OCG was the first Duelist Pack of the Zexal generation, featuring the main protagonist of the new show. Duelist Pack - Yuma Tsukumo will be released on October 15th 2011 - don't say we don't give you plenty of warning about these things. No cards confirmed yet, but we can expect lots of goodies from the new anime when it arrives.

Meanwhile in other news, the TCG spoiler for Generation Force is starting to take shape, with Sneak Peek events confirmed for the weekend of the 6th/7th August. This of course follows up from the big release of this week, the Dawn of the Xyz Starter Deck. Interesting Times

New YuGiOh! Booster Announcement - Generation Force

A quick post this evening because we've had exciting news out of Japan today. The next booster has just been announced, and it's called Generation Force. It'll be the first YuGiOh! booster in the new Zexal generation, so it's a particularly interesting one. It's due out in Japan for the OCG in April, so presumably getting an English-Language TCG release late summer.

We've already heard about one new game mechanic in YuGiOh! Zexal called an Exceed Summon, where two monsters of the same level are used as material, but instead of being sent to the graveyard, are instead somehow stacked with the Exceed Monster. We're a bit confused, but sure it'll make sense in the end. Presumably there'll be Exceed Monsters abounding in Generation Force.

Anyway - to help you get up to speed, we have a full rundown of everything we've been able to find out about YuGiOh! Zexal - Generation Force here.
