Drive, dig and duel in Fossil Fighters Frontier, out now on Nintendo 3DS family systems! In this role-playing game, packed with prehistoric adventure, it’s your job to guard Fossil Parks all over the world, and discover the secrets that lie within. Unearth fossils and revive them as all kinds of vivosaurs – wondrous and thunderous creatures that are born to battle!

Travel through Fossil Parks in your Bone Buggy to track down fossils, carefully extract them from the ground with a variety of tools and take on rogue vivosaurs in turn-based battles. Any fossils that you dig up can be turned into a new vivosaur for your team, and they’ll have different moves depending on the type of fossil you recover. If you find a different fossil for a vivosaur you already have, they can even learn new skills!

Prove yourself in local and online multiplayer! Up to six players can battle locally, fighting three-on-three – if you don’t have enough players, Paleo Pals that are controlled by the computer will fill the rest of the slots. You can also go toe-to-toe with players online in one-on-one Ranked Battles, or up to three players can team up locally to explore Fossil Parks together.

Find out more about the excavation adventure ahead, and check out some exclusive AR Cards that can be used to unlock special vivosaurs and Bone Buggies, at our Fossil Fighters Frontier gamepage. It's time to drive, dig and duel!
