Overview
The Duel Terminal (デュエルターミナル Dyueru Tāminaru) was designed by Konami to assist in introducing the then new Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime to new and existing players.
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 as the Edition. 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 per play in Japan, $1 per play in the United States, and $13 per play in Mexico. After ending the game, a Duel Terminal Edition card is released at the bottom of the machine.
Duel Terminal cards themselves are not playable in sanctioned tournaments unless they have also been released in a more widely available source.
Duel Terminal 6 was released in two parts. Duel Terminal 6a is the first part, made up of the OCG set Duel Terminal: Judgment of Omega!! and was released February 3, 2012, and Duel Terminal 6b is made up of the OCG set Duel Terminal: Xyz Startup!! and was released May 25, 2012.
