Yu Gi Oh Cartoon starts Saturday!

The anime/game series that is more popular than Pokemon in Japan is coming to a boob-tube near you this Saturday morning…

It’s a popular game series from Konami, with two GBA releases already under its belt & an anime that’s all the rage. If you caught this report, you’d know that it’s headed straight for North American airwaves. The show is called Yu Gi Oh: King of Games and it’s the animated version of Konami’s popular monster collection series, Yu Gi Oh. Now, it’s set to debut this Saturday morning on the KidsWB.

The show is being released by 4 Kids Entertainment, who also handle the Pokemon cartoon. Pokemon is also returning for another season on KidsWB, as Pokemon Johto League Champions. Jackie Chan Adventures is also returning and I mention it because it’s also getting its own video game on Nintendo systems. Along with these and other cartoons, KidsWB is holding a contest to kick off its new Saturday morning season, with the winners getting flown to London to see the premiere of the Harry Potter movie.

There is still no word on whether any Yu Gi Oh games will be released in the West but just watch. If the show catches on, we’re sure Konami will make some announcements…

Update: Thanks to our pal Scummy of #planetchat, I've just been informed that Nintendo Power has already listed a GBA Yu Gi Oh game, so it may be coming sooner than we think...
