Kodai Djinns Battling Yo-Yos. On-board fighting games, infra-red connectivity and some total rad funky design makes these a real departure from yer ordinary string it/sling it Yo-Yo-ness. Tempted, oh yes we are. £27.95/$48.00 for the battle set.
The idea is to spin your yo-yo in order to generate power and build up strength for your warrior. Flashing LEDs and nifty sound effects let you know when your Kodai Djinn warrior is sufficiently charged. You can then play seven video games via the yo-yo’s LCD screen using four built-in buttons to control the action…But here’s the clever bit: victory in these games, combined with a good old spinning session on the yo-yo, helps strengthen your warrior for head-to-head showdowns with rival Kodai Djinns. Simply place the yo-yos together and let battle commence via the wireless ports. Clever, eh?
