Release Date: February 27, 2025
A collection of 14 classic games from the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga universe. Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection primarily features various card games, however we can also find turn-based strategies or RPGs. This package also offers new features, including rewinding time, browsing manuals or having online multiplayer.
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Early Days Collection is a compilation of fourteen classic games set in the universe created for the manga titled Yu-Gi-Oh!, which began in 1996. The compilation was developed by Digital Eclipse studio, known for refreshing older games, while its release was handled by Konami, the company overseeing the brand.
This compilation consists of the following games:
In most cases, we are dealing with card games, in which we engage in duels, playing cards that represent specific monsters, spells, and traps, trying to reduce our opponents' life points to zero.
There are exceptions, though. Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsule and Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters are turn-based strategies. Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards and Yu-Gi-Oh: Reshef of Destruction are RPGs. Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler is a social board game.
As a standalone position, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 6: Expert 2 is available only in the Japanese language version. In other languages, we can check it out under the title Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel.
Compared to the original versions, individual titles from Yu-Gi-Oh! The Early Days Collection stand out due to new features, led by the ability to fast forward or rewind time, as well as saving the game state at any moment.
Additionally, the package offers a range of options that allow us to customize the gameplay to individual preferences. We can unlock hidden characters and cards, remove the deck limit, remove the level of duel and cards from the list of banned or limited items, as well as remap original buttons.
There is also a digital gallery that allows us to take a close look at the packaging and instructions for each game.
Although most of the games that make up the compilation can only be played locally, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelists also offers the possibility of conducting multiplayer duels over the Internet.

Game Ratings for Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection Video Game.
ZTGD: 7.5 / 10 by Anthony Mann
It’s a good collection, but it could be even better. It could be great.
Worth Playing: 5.5 / 10 by Cody Medellin
Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is for a very specific type of Yu-Gi-Oh! player who favors battles against the CPU instead of real people. That player also knows all of the rules of the game, wants a fixed set of cards, and doesn't want further updates from new cards. For them, most of the games in the compilation will be fine if they can get over each title's shortcomings. For everyone else, especially newcomers, the games are cumbersome and unintuitive, so only those with an immense amount of patience would want to give the titles a shot.
TheGamer: 2 / 5 by Joe Parlock
For older fans wanting a hit of nostalgia, plenty of these games don’t hold up to revisits almost 25 years later. With none of the usual gubbins we’ve come to expect from retro anthologies, all you’re getting out of Early Days Collection is having your rose-tinted glasses stamped on.
