Revealed at the “Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters: The Legend of Duelist QUARTER CENTURY” special event in Tokyo, Japan, 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 Steam®, Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection brings together the earliest Yu-Gi-Oh! games ever released. The collection will include titles that weren't previously released in the West.

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. More details will be announced in the future, so please stay tuned.


Original article: Konami has started the month of February by announcing Yu-Gi-Oh! will be getting a classic game collection in Japan. The official title according to machine translation is called Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection and it will be released on the Switch and Steam at some point in 2024.

Fans can look forward to multiple games and the first two revealed include the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance titles: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of the Great Duelist (2000) and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 6: Expert 2 (2001).

Both of these games were previously Japan-only releases. There's also no mention right now of this collection receiving a local release, but if we hear any updates we'll let you know.
