Foto Showdown, known in Japan as,[1] is a turn-based video game made exclusively for the Nintendo DSi. It was released in Japan on November 19, 2009 and in North America on March 9, 2010. The game revolves around players using their monsters to battle against rivals. By winning tournaments and battles, players can advance through the game through upgrades and unlocking more powerful items. The game allows player to take advantage of the DSi outer camera by allowing them to spawn certain monsters for use in battle based on the dominant colors in the photo.[2]
The game received above-average reviews. Josh Laddin of GameRevolution said, "Foto Showdown feels like a tech demo for the DSi that doesn't show off any tech." In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of one seven and three sixes for a total of 25 out of 40.
