“Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection” Trailer Reveals Huge Selection Of Classic Game Boy Games

The once acclaimed video game publish Konami hasn’t published many new games in the last few years, but they have become known for releasing great collections of their earlier games, back when Konami was able to crank out multiple games a year! Recent exceptional releases include the “Metal Gear Solid Master Collection”, “Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection”, and the various “Castlevania” collections. And now we have a new collection game to add to the list, with the official reveal of “Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection”! The game features 14 classic Yu-Gi-Oh games, all originally released on the Game Boy, Game Boy Color and the Game Boy Advanced (around when the show was at the height of it’s popularity).

Not all games in the collection are card games

Most of the games in the collection are digital versions of the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game that was a hit in the early 2000’s, allowing kids to mimic the card battles portrayed on the television show. Online play will be available for some of the games. There’s more to the collection than “card battles” though, as “Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsule” is a turn based RPG (very “Pokemon” in design), and “Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters” and “Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler” are board games reminiscent of the “Mario Party” games. Some of the games featured here are being translated into English for the first time!

Here’s the trailer:

The complete list of all games featured are as follows:

  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters – 1998/GAME BOY
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II: Dark Duel Stories – 1999/GAME BOY, GAME BOY COLOR
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsule – 2000/GAME BOY, GAME BOY COLOR
