In Digimon World Data Squad for the PlayStation 2 system, players can use and upgrade over 140 different Digimon in order to defeat the Seven Demon Kings and rescue a group of kidnapped children. With the all-new “Galactic Evolution System,” digivolving Digimon is easier and more intuitive than ever before. Featuring colorful cel-shaded graphics, a distinctive emotion command system that allows players to track their Digimon’s mood and full voice acting by the original cast of the upcoming Digimon Data Squad television series, Digimon World Data Squad is sure to provide fans and newcomers alike with hours of digital monster-battling entertainment.

Digimon World Dawn and Digimon World Dusk for the Nintendo DS are parallel games with different selections of Digimon for players to collect and use. Featuring an interweaving narrative, the storyline of the games is seen from the perspective of two rival groups as they seek to uncover the culprit behind a disaster that is causing Digimon around the world to devolve into digi-eggs. Gameplay in Dawn and Dusk is highlighted by a turn-based battle system in which players strategically position the game’s 400 Digimon for maximum combat efficiency. Through a local wireless connection or online via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, players can battle against others and make trades to obtain rare Digimon that can only be found in certain versions of the game.
