Item Description

Long before Master Duel and Link Summons, Yu-Gi-Oh! lived on a Game Boy screen, and those early cartridges were where plenty of players first learned what a Blue-Eyes White Dragon could do. Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection gathers 14 of those Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games from Konami's archive into a single 2025 Switch release.

The lineup spans the franchise's formative years, from the original 1998 Duel Monsters through Dark Duel Stories, The Eternal Duelist Soul, The Sacred Cards, Reshef of Destruction and 7 Trials to Glory: World Championship Tournament 2005. It is not all straight dueling, either. Monster Capsule is a real-time strategy spin-off, Dungeon Dice Monsters turns monster battles into a dice-and-board game, and Destiny Board Traveler is a board game outright. For long-time fans, the biggest draw is that five of these games make their first appearance outside Japan, among them Duel Monsters, Duel Monsters II: Dark Duel Stories, Monster Capsule and Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelists, and nearly every title can now be played in English, French, German, Italian or Spanish as well as Japanese.

Modern conveniences smooth out the rough edges of games that are more than two decades old: save states, fast-forward and rewind, remappable controls, and an Enhancements menu that can unlock every card, lift deck point limits, allow normally banned cards and reveal hidden characters. A gallery of scanned original box art and instruction manuals rounds out the preservation side.

Critics were mixed on how well the old games play today, pointing to slow duels and a lack of tutorials, while praising the sheer amount of content and the archival work. That tension is part of the charm. These games run on early rules and strange card pools that feel nothing like modern Yu-Gi-Oh!, and seeing the card game's video game history laid out side by side, including chapters most Western players never got to touch, is what makes this collection so fascinating to own.
