Cardfight Vanguard!!is a Trading Card Game launched by Bushiroad in 2010. It soon became a multimedia franchise with a first anime season starting in 2011 in Japan.Cardfight!! Vanguardhad some pretty interesting plot developments in its anime adaptations, though I have yet to watch them all. One thing for sure is you shouldn’t think of it as another randomYu-Gi-Ohclone as it’s much more than that and has some pretty cool ideas. The anime ended in April 2018 withCardfight!! Vanguard G: Z.However, it got rebooted starting May 2018 with a new timeline, with theCardfight!! Vanguard (2018)anime currently airing.
As I’m writing this, Konami also announced anewYugiohgame on Switchjust a few hours ago. I often say it’s interesting to see how the Switch is inheriting Vita’s position when it comes to sheltering niche genres like console ports of visual novels, and it’s fun to see most card games too will be moving to Switch. Though, this newCardfight!! Vanguard EXgame will be on PlayStation 4 as well, and the previousCardfightvideo games were on 3DS rather than Vita.
You can find below full artwork for Aichi and Izuru and the teaser trailer. While not as popular asYugioh,Cardfight!! Vanguardis popular outside of Japan as well, and some seasons of the anime aired outside the Archipel. The Trading Card Game also has an official international version, so it’s possibleCardfight!! Vanguard EXmight get localized.
More information onCardfight!! Vanguard EXwill be published at a later date on the game’sofficial Twitter.
