Elemental Monster: new card battler from Hudson

By JC Fletcher


Card-battling games seem like a natural for the DS– the second screen is especially well-suited for managing cards while the game is in play. But we haven't gotten that many card games– in fact, SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters DS is the only one we can think of, and that one's not even out yet.

Hudson's Elemental Monster is a turn-based card-battling game that uses some pretty great 2D sprites. Between battles, the game has an RPG-style story mode, which also uses a lot of hand-drawn 2D. We're actually surprised to see a DS game coming out that has this much non-polygonal art (some backgrounds are 3D, but that's fine!) How about a US release, Hudson?
