Foto Showdown lets DSi gamers user their handheld's camera function to turn real-world objects, animals, or people into in-game monsters that can be used in Pokémon-style battles. There are more than 120 monsters to find and collect, and as the game progresses, players can use winnings to purchase better cameras and larger capsules for trapping creatures. Gamers can take on more than 100 levels of action in the single-player campaign, or they can use a local wireless connection to link up with a friend for head-to-head battles and monster swapping.
