During a recent toy show held in Japan, Konami unveiled its latest card game for the DS. Complete with card reader, this is not to be confused with the upcoming Marvel Vs. game for the DS, PSP and PC (although, how cool would that be if it were?!). Apparently, the player mixes card-playing outside of the DS with gameplay through the handheld system, which sounds a bit complicated to us. Who knows though, this could be fun, right?See also: Sega's feminine e-reader

Hasbro's Wizards of the Coast tried this with a stand-alone unit for their NFL card game. It failed miserably because at one point, cards refused to scan properly, or the unit stalled. Then, when you rebooted, on the same play, the unit would ask for two different cards, often meaning your awesome passing play turned into a loss of yards. Could it work better on the DS? Maybe, but the scanner will have to be perfect.

Sega's Love and Berry DS game uses a similar card-reading doodad, I think.

Oh, and there it is in the 'see also.' Yeah. My work here is pre-done.

This is probably a portable version of one of the many arcade/card games they have over in japan. They are really popular right now. I think the first one I saw was for a soccer game. I never got into them myself because of the card aspect of it, but I have friends that love it.
