Here is an interesting game. Being made by a young man named José Henrique (who lives in São Paulo, Brazil), he is 24 years old (as of this post) and graduated in Digital Design. He has made a few games and this is one of them.

Duel Toys is his "main" game that he works on and there is a Duel Toys 2. This one, however, is significantly different in terms of style, resembling a Neo Geo Pocket game in visuals...though not as good. This isn't to say that the graphics are bad though; they have a cool retro style to them.

DT has characters from various games, as well as a few original characters. It also borrows music from various games and concepts, while having its own innovations. You can buy a bunch of characters while playing the Duel mode and Arcade mode. You play with Rique (named by default) who gets a Duel Toy when he comes home one day. It is a special Duel Toy, named Scout, and you can use it to fight others, gain points, and buy more toys. You can also buy "Individuels", Duel Toys that act as "Strikers" like in games like King of Fighters 99'. Basically, you can summon a helper that performs a special attack a limited amount of times.

The combat is simple enough, but I'm having some serious issues with the controls at the moment. No matter how I play (JoyToKey, Keyboard, Joystick, etc.), the characters are stiff and performing moves is somewhat of a pain. There are numerous instances in this video where I move around trying to perform moves, only for nothing to happen. This wouldn't bother me if the moves were actually complex, but they are very simple...in some cases, easier than the typical "Down, Foward + Attack" motions.

The game also seems to have some considerable bugs. I can purchase new DTs and I won't be able to use them. If I go to arcade mode, the roster of characters I should have is incomplete and the game is kinda screwy in that regard. Also, the Killer Instinct stage has no music for me...I'm not sure if this game is still being worked on or not. The sequel is much more promising and took the concepts from this game and tuned them greatly.

NOTE: THE OFFICIAL PAGE FOR DUEL TOYS IS GONE. I will have to see if I still have this.
