Konami has announced the release date for Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection and more information on the games included in the package. The upcoming selection of nostalgic videogames from the initial era of the trading card franchise is coming to Nintendo Switch and PC through Steam on February 27, 2025.
Back to simple but chaotic times
As a celebration of the card game's 25 years, Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection gathers multiple games from the initial stages of the series development. It'll include over 10 titles originally released between 1998 and 2004. During those 6 years, we had classic games such as Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses and Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom, as well as multiple handheld titles.
Back in the day, there weren't many of the current card archetypes, like Synchro and Pendulum, or the Rush Duel format, but the TCG rules weren't well-established either. As a result, these games usually featured unique elements that players wouldn't be able to pull off when playing the real game.
So far, the list of games already confirmed for the collection is only composed by Game Boy, Game Boy...
