Yu-Gi-Oh! fans — especially fans of stuff “back in the day” — might be interested in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection. While its release date is yet to be announced, we do know that the collection will ultimately have more than 10 retro Yu-Gi-Oh! games. And we just learned what three more of those games will be.
The first is Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, which came out in Japan in 1998 for Game Boy.
Next there is Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II: Dark Duel Stories, a 1999 Japanese release for Game Boy/Game Boy Color.
Last but not least is Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories, which dropped in Japan in 2000 on the Game Boy Color.
Before this, it was revealed that two other games in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection would be Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelists and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 6: Expert 2. These were released in Japan in 2000 and 2001, respectively.
When the Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection finally comes out, people will be able to play the games on Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam). As an extra incentive for buying a physical copy for Switch, Konami is offering a Quarter Century Secret Rare Harpie’s Feather Duster TCG card. Here are the two possibilities you can get.
VIZ Media publishes the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga by Kazuki Takahashi and gave this description for the first volume:
Yu-Gi-Oh! Summary
Sitting by himself in the back of the class, 10th-grader Yugi always had his head in some game–until he solved the Millennium Puzzle, an Egyptian artifact containing a powerful spirit from the age of the pharoahs! Awakened after three thousand years, the King of Games possesses Yugi, recklessly challenging bullies and evildoers to the Shadow Games, where the stakes are high, and even the most ordinary bet may result in weirdness and danger beyond belief! Let the games…begin!
