Is it available in any stores within your area as of yet? It seems there's an awful lot of confusion amongst online retailers about its availability. EBGames doesn't have it yet, Gamestop does have it, KBToys.com says 9/1, Amazon doesn't have it yet either. Kind of odd, don't you think?

I'm sure it's kicking around in various places - I'm thinking of picking this up myself, as I'm a sucker for card battlers and it's still cheaper than buying ACTUAL cards to play with.

IGN's Review:

If you haven't been swept into the Yu-Gi-Oh craze yet, there's nothing in the first DS version that will sway you to the card battle side. The game is clearly aimed at the Yu-Gi-Oh fanbase, but even still, the game keeps its presentation open to let those who aren't on the inside get in on the fun. 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. Yu-Gi-Oh: Nightmare Troubadour is clearly only the beginning of the series on the Nintendo DS, and it's a good start and decent foundation for future iterations. The next step is, obviously, bulk up the single player adventure and, ultimately, take the design online. But for now, the game's a solid beginning on the dual screen handheld.

OVERALL: 7.0

Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel on the GBA was awesome, easily the best entry in the series. It's a shame they followed it up with such weak sequels -- The Sacred Cards, Destiny Board Traveller and World Championship 2005 -- but I'm looking forward to Nightmare Troubadour; If only to get my Yu-Gi-Oh! fix.

Jesus. I would hate this series for the name alone, if the games weren't already terrible.
