There are 3 tournaments in total starting from the shop, regional (?) and finally VF Circuit. The tournament battles are not continuous so you can save in-between if you are afraid of bad hand start but there is no penalty for losing except for your fight performance record. There is not tag match available in the game as far as I know and there are no teams. Similar to the anime, your main objective is to win tournaments. So far I’ve played through the first quarter of the game, winning only the shop tournament thus far. PS: No pictures at the moment, maybe later. The game is region locked due to the way the Nintendo 3DS is made so currently you can only play this game in Japanese on a Japan region console. Some information here and here for further reading. A friend of mine helped me to order it and he also let me borrow his Japanese region 3DS to play it for a while. I just got this game at the beginning of May 2013.
