4Kids Entertainment has announced four new series for its 4-hour Saturday morning animated block, including Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters, which premieres on September 9th.  Other new series include Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward, which transports our favorite shellheads to the year 2105, Viva Pinata, a CGI series produced in conjunction with Microsoft, which is producing a Viva Pinata video game, and Chaotic, which premiers September 30th and is based on the new trading card game, which will be available in the spring of 2007 (see '4Kids Launching Chaotic in the Fall').

 

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters series is a new action-driven show in which Yugi and his friends find a portal to another dimension where the monsters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! game are real and the battles are a matter of life and death.  The series will also be available starting in August via the 4Kids VOD Channel on Comcast cable systems along with episodes of Sonic X, Ultimate Muscle, Mew Mew Power, Winx Club, G.I. Joe, and Kirby, Right Back at Ya!.
