'Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection' Reveals More Titles Included In The Bundle

Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is a new digital title in development, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game.

Coming to the Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam), the Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection brings back iconic Yu-Gi-Oh! digital titles originally released between 1998 and 2004, and will include titles that weren’t previously released in the West. The Collection also commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game. The rare bonus card “Harpie's Feather Duster” will feature two art types, with one card being inserted randomly.

The Collection also highlights card trading between friends by replicating the infrared communication feature unique to the classic Game Boy Color platform. Duelists can relive the nostalgic feeling they had when they traded card data with their friends from one Game Boy Color to another.

One title has already been confirmed: 2000’s Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelists for the Game Boy Color – a title that was previously released only in Japan.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection packs quality-of-life improvements that elevate classic games to modern standards. Games in the Collection that supported local co-op battles when they first released now offer online battles support. Enjoy Duels with rivals from all over the world!​ Control button layout customization and background settings will also be supported.​

Konami announced Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II: Dark Duel Stories, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories will be coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam as part of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection

Plus, physical copies of the Nintendo Switch version of the Collection will include one bonus card* of “Harpie's Feather Duster” with a never-before-seen printed level of rarity: Quarter Century Secret Rare.

* Bonus cards for the Japanese version are different from those for the US and European versions. Details will be announced in the future.
