Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced the return of its eternally popular Yu-Gi-Oh! GX series to PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), with Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3™, set for release in November 2008 in Europe.

Set in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX TV series universe, Yu-Gi-Oh!

Over 3500 cards can be collected and used, and players can also partner with a dueling partner to embark on graduation tag duels against rival pairs.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3 is the most advanced Yu-Gi-Oh! title to hit PSP® to date, and enjoys a simple yet effective dueling interface to make games faster and easier to manage. The game’s 3500 cards are sampled from the most recent Trading Card Game packs, including ‘The Duelist Genesis’ set, and offer a wide range of traps, monsters and spells for the user to amass. Players can also use the hardware’s online capabilities to download additional content, including entire decks or individual cards.

Every aspect of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3 has been enhanced, with all-new AI routines adapting to the way the game flows, while the social aspect of the Trading Card Game is showcased as up to four players duel together via the PSP® Ad-hoc LAN mode. A new Gallery feature is also introduced, and provides a visual record of defeated monsters and key events.
