As a seasoned gamer who has been following the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise since its early days on TV, this news about the Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is like finding a long-lost treasure map. The nostalgia floodgates are wide open with the announcement of games that I remember playing on my old Game Boy and Game Boy Advance, some of which were even region-locked at the time.

Before the scheduled release of “Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection” in February 2025, Konami has disclosed the complete roster of games that players can expect to find within this collection. With several iconic titles from its catalog, including some that have never been released in the Western region, “Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection” will feature a grand total of 14 games upon its launch next year.

2024 saw me as a gamer eagerly anticipating the release of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection, a celebration title announced by Konami for the 25th anniversary of the beloved Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. This compilation includes games that were originally launched between 1998 and 2004, playable on Game Boy, Game Boy Color, or Game Boy Advance. Interestingly, one game was released before the physical card game even hit Japanese shelves!

As a passionate gamer, I’m thrilled to share that the long-awaited Nintendo eShop listing for the “Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection” has finally gone up, courtesy of Konami. This highly anticipated game will be available on both PC and Nintendo Switch, with an approximate size of 4.5 GB. For physical Nintendo Switch owners, the English version comes with one of two rare “Harpie’s Feather Duster” cards from the Quarter Century Secret, adding a touch of exclusivity to your collection.

Konami has marked the 25th anniversary of the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise in various ways. Special editions of the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game were launched exclusively, and the free-to-play game, Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel, provided players with free login rewards and unique cards towards the end of 2023.
