As a longtime fan who grew up with the magic of Yu-Gi-Oh, I can barely contain my excitement about the upcoming “Yu-Gi-Oh: Early Days Collection”! With its release date set for February 27, 2025, it feels like the best birthday gift ever. I’ve been eagerly waiting to revisit those classic games, and now that they’re coming to Nintendo Switch and PC, I can finally do so without needing a dusty old Game Boy!

It appears that details about the games included in the upcoming “Yu-Gi-Oh: Early Days Collection” might have been accidentally disclosed online. Back in February, Konami unveiled plans to launch a collection of classic Yu-Gi-Oh video games on Steam and Nintendo Switch next year, celebrating the franchise’s 25th anniversary. These games span back several years before the physical Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game was even introduced. Initially announced exclusively for Japan, it was later confirmed that the collection would also be available in Europe and the U.S., with a release date set for February 27, 2025.

For the first time, some games previously exclusive to Japan from the upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh: Early Days Collection will be translated and made available globally. This includes the original Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters for Game Boy and its sequels. In October, it was disclosed that titles such as 2002’s popular Yu-Gi-Oh: The Eternal Duelist Soul, The Sacred Cards, and the challenging Reshef of Destruction (for Game Boy Advance) will be part of the Yu-Gi-Oh: Early Days Collection. This announcement has added to the excitement of fans who grew up with the franchise during its peak in the mid-2000s.

It appears that the full lineup of games in the forthcoming “Yu-Gi-Oh: Early Days Collection” has been revealed online, as per tweet from user Nintendeal. The leak suggests that the collection will comprise a total of 14 classic Yu-Gi-Oh games, with new inclusions such as “Yu-Gi-Oh: Monster Capsule GB”, a game based on one of the earlier manga versions of Yu-Gi-Oh, and “Yu-Gi-Oh: Dungeon Dice Monsters”, which revolves around the game that emerged after the “Duelist Kingdom” arc. Also included are “Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel”, “World Championship Tournament 2004”, “Destiny Board Traveler”, and “7 Trials to Glory: World Championship Tournament 2005”.
