With only a week away until the next big Yu-Gi-Oh expansion, it’s time for another Sneak Peek!

On April 30th and May 1st, participating card shops will offer advanced sales of the upcoming Shining Victories set. Retailing at $20 a piece, each set comes with five packs of cards, a special promo card featuring one of the prominent new additions from the set, and a chance to win a play mat featuring the set’s cover card.

Promising a slew of new, exciting cards to power up a variety of decks, the most exciting aspect for me is the set promising to bring the Blue-Eyes White Dragon back to prominence. Featuring what’s described on the official website as Monsters and support cards that will, “…help crush non-believers of Kaiba,” it will be great to finally be able to put those old decks to good use, and just in time for the new movie that brings back characters from the original series! If the preview cards in the Breakers of Shadow Special Edition were anything to go by, let’s just say that the trademark dragon will be ruling the field once again once these cards are in circulation.

Planning on going to the Sneak Peek this weekend? Make sure to tell us what you pulled in the comments, and keep your eyes peeled for full impressions of the set once it’s released!

Are you a duelist who needs something to do this Halloween weekend? Konami has you covered with a few treats of their own, thanks to the upcoming Dimension of Chaos booster set. Officially releasing on November 6th, card players will be able to get their usual sneak peak of the set this weekend at participating card and hobby shops.YuGiOh Dimension Of Chaos Box

Typically sold in sets of five boosters and bundled with a special promotional card for $19.99, the event will give Yu-Gi-Oh enthusiasts a first look at the new cards that will grace the game. From the introduction of Majespecters, Pendulum Monsters that use their spell casting prowess to avoid being destroyed by the effects of other Monsters, and Graydles, who can take control of other Monsters, there promises to be plenty of new strategies to rise out of the set. Plus, with the return of past archtypes like Odd-Eyes, Performapal and the popular Blackwings from the 5D’s days, existing decks are sure to get a much needed boost as well!

However, no individual card may be as sought after as much as Black Luster Soldier- Super Soldier, which I can only assume is the Black Luster Solider with its best Captain America costume just in time for Halloween. What’s really scary is its ability to punish opponents who destroy it. All you need is the right ritual conditions to bring it out!

Hoenn confirmed!

Last week, Nintendo officially announced Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the long speculated remakes of the Game Boy Advance originals. However, aside from the confirmation and worldwide release date, nothing else was said about the 3DS titles.

Sensing our thirst for more, Nintendo has released a trailer showing off the cover legendaries, Groudon and Kyogre… but not much else.

Well… it’s better than nothing, right? Either way, it looks like forthcoming information is going to be a slow burn until its November release date. Either that, or they’re saving the big news for the upcoming E3 Expo. Still, it makes you wonder why we haven’t seen 3D Hoenn yet, but if history is any indicator, there are sure to be some surprises in store for Pokemon trainers around the world when the release date finally hits.

If anything is announced in the coming weeks, you can count on Geekscape to bring you all the incoming details as they’re released.
