Duel Terminal



Duel Terminals are a relatively new idea, and were designed by Konami to assist in introducing the then-new Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime to new and existing players.

Overview
The Duel Terminal itself looks like a traditional arcade machine, and has a variety of game modes, using cards from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game. Players can either use a Deck chosen by the system, or the Duelist can use his/her own cards, provided they have ＤＵＥＬ ＴＥＲＭＩＮＡＬ (or "Duel Terminal", on the English cards) where the Edition should be. These cards are recognized by the built-in card scanner, allowing the player to use the card in the game. "Duel Terminal Edition" cards are only available from "Duel Terminals". The game itself is priced at 100 Yen per play in Japan, $1 per play in the United States and 50 pesos per play in México.

However, Duel Terminal cards themselves are not playable in sanctioned tournaments unless they have also been released in a more widely available source, such as Hidden Arsenal sets.

Storyline
'' These new cards that Konami has released even have come with their own storylines, which were seen in Master Guide 3.
