Unofficial Make-Your-Own Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Site Launched

posted on by Egan Loo
Site lets users create card file with custom image, name, attributes, rare card details

Last month, an unofficial site launched to allow visitors to make their own customized Yu-Gi-Oh! card image files. The site lets users upload an image, choose a card type, create a name, and write up points, levels, and attributes — complete with the furigana (the miniature text provided as a pronunciation guide for words) that authentic Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! cards have. The site even offers to emulate the holographic printing and other details on rare cards. After previewing the card image, the user can then save the resulting file. Gigazine posted a card image (picture below) that it created for itself.

During the creation process, the site asks users to consent to an agreement: "Commercial use is strictly prohibited. Please use this at your own risk. This site accepts no responsibility in the event that there is any trouble arising from the use of the images produced."

Last year, Konami Digital Entertainment sued Upper Deck Co. for producing and distributing counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards that were not authorized by their contract. Konami then terminated its contract with Upper Deck Co. and directly distributed Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in North America.
