Fossil Fighters™ blends the timeless human fascination with
dinosaurs with the fun of building a collection. The game lets players
build a collection of more than 100 fantastical dinosaurs known as
“vivosaurs.” This new game incorporates elements of discovery, tactics
and strategy as players try to get the best vivosaurs on their teams to
battle it out on the field.

Players dig for fossils and use the touch screen of the Nintendo DS™
system to hammer, chip, drill and brush away the bits of rock around
the fossil. When their efforts result in the buildup of dust, players
blow into the Nintendo DS microphone to blow the dust away.

The game rates players on how well they handle the fossils during the
cleaning process. The more carefully and completely a player cleans a
fossil, the more powerful the vivosaur will be in battle. Vivosaurs
can also gain more power through battles.

Players must collect various parts of each vivosaur. The head must be
found first to bring a vivosaur to life while the body, arms and legs
can be added to increase its power on the battlefield and imbue it
with special powers.

The game features an engrossing role-playing storyline and vast
environments for players to explore.

Players can connect wirelessly with friends to battle or trade their
fossils.

Fossil Fighters is a role-playing video game series published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS consoles. Its gameplay revolves around digging up and extracting dinosaur fossils, reviving them into supernatural "vivosaurs" and engaging in battle.
