Item Description

Somewhere under the Caliosteo Islands a fossil rock is waiting, and the difference between an ordinary vivosaur and a powerhouse comes down to how carefully you chip it free. Fossil Fighters: Champions, the sequel Nintendo brought to North America in November 2011, keeps the dig, clean and revive loop that made the first game such a pleasant surprise and builds a bigger, more tactical game around it. Developed by Nintendo SPD with Red Entertainment, M2 and Artdink, it launched in Japan as Super Kasekihoridā, and like its predecessor it never saw a European release on the DS.

The cleaning minigame is still the soul of the thing. You hammer and drill away rock on the touchscreen without cracking what's inside, and a cleaner fossil means a stronger vivosaur. Champions adds new kinds of rock to work on: odd fossil rocks with two sides to flip between, giant fossil rocks that hold all of a vivosaur's parts at once, and rarer finds that can recolor a vivosaur and boost its stats or evolve particular species into new forms. The original 100 vivosaurs return alongside newcomers that stretch the definition of a dinosaur game, from mammoths and sabre-toothed cats to ancient mollusks.

Battles got a real rethink. Every vivosaur now has a short, medium or long range, and your three-member team sits in a rotating formation, so spinning the right creature to the front at the right moment becomes the central puzzle of each fight. Turn order goes to the team with the higher total speed, vivosaurs can now climb all the way to rank 20, and support effects grow stronger as they rank up. On the surface it is the same friendly creature battler, but team building has far more to chew on.

The story is a seven-round tournament, the Caliosteo Cup, hosted by island owner Joe Wildwest across Ribular, Cranial and Ilium, with ownership of the whole fossil park as the prize. The skeletal Don Boneyard and his BareBones Brigade make trouble along the way, and there is more going on with the tournament's host than first appears. Critics at the time felt it played close to the original, which is exactly its appeal if you loved the first game: more fossils, more vivosaurs and a deeper battle system on top of a loop that is hard to put down once the stylus starts tapping. It sold well enough to earn a 3DS follow-up, Fossil Fighters: Frontier, and it is the fullest expression of the series' original DS design.

About the game

In this dino-tastic adventure, players get some hands-on time to hunt and clean fossils, and revive and battle vivosaurs. A fossil park is hosting a large-scale tournament in which competitors enter vivosaurs created from dinosaur fossils into competition. Fossil Fighters from all over the world battle their vivosaurs against one another to find out who will be crowned champion. Players excavate and clean fossils. New giant fossil rocks (containing complete dinosaur fossils) and odd fossil rocks (which are two-sided) add to the fun of the cleaning process. Once the fossils have been cleaned, they can be revived into Vivosaurs, which players can then arrange into teams for battles. The better the fossils have been cleaned, the more powerful the Vivosaurs are in battle. Strategy is key in battles. Players must put forth teams of three vivosaurs, then rotate their positions to maximize their power advantage over opponents. New “super evolver” vivosaurs evolve into new forms with the help of gold fossils. Players can compete in matchmaking battles or upload their best team to see how it fares against others. Players can also download additional vivosaurs and events.
