Yu-Gi-Oh! EARLY DAYS COLLECTION - Nintendo Switch

As a long-time Yu-Gi-Oh fan, I was thrilled to dive into The Early Collection on Switch. The game nails the nostalgia factor with classic cards and artwork, and it’s easy to pick up if you’re revisiting the series or introducing it to new players. That said, the gameplay can feel a bit shallow for veteran duelists, and some card interactions from later series aren’t included. It’s a solid pick for collectors and casual players, but don’t expect the depth of modern Yu-Gi-Oh titles. The collection includes several of the very first Yu-Gi-Oh games, featuring both single-player campaigns and duel challenges against classic characters from the anime. You’ll find early fan-favorite cards, iconic monsters, and simple dueling mechanics that reflect the original gameplay style. It’s a great way to experience the origins of the card game, relive memorable duels, and even test your strategies with the foundational rules of Yu-Gi-Oh. These games were originally released on systems like the Game Boy, Game Boy Advanced, and this Switch collection brings them all together in one package. While the graphics and interface are updated for modern hardware, the core gameplay remains true to the original titles. This makes it a nostalgic treat for longtime fans while also being approachable for newcomers who may never have played the older handheld versions.

I liked the game. It was a good way to play all of the classic Yu-Gi-Oh games from the Gameboy and Gameboy Advance Era. But the bad thing was they didn't include Yu-Gi-Oh GX Duel Academy or Yu-Gi-Oh Ultimate Masters with the Japanese update that fixes the glitch that remains in the US release of the game and I really hope that this game was a success because then Konami would release a mid-day or night evening night and midnight collection of Yu-Gi-Oh games and at least the Best Buy pre-order Switch copy I got didn't had any issues with my promo Harper's Feather's duster card.

I haven't played all the games yet, but it is an awesome nostalgia that Konami did. It has 16 games in 1! Sure it's retro games, but who doesn't want the games in their collection? Especially those who haven't played it yet? If you like playing old style games, this is a must have! It will give you hours of playing the games. I've been playing DDM and WorldWide Edition so far. The price isn't bad for 16 games.

Amazing game! Has all the GB/GBC/GBA yugioh games in one collection. Runs very well and comes with a cool harpies feather duster card! The rewind feature is great too! You don’t know how useful it is until you need it. They also have online for some of the games.

Contains all the original Yu-Gi-Oh games and a Harpie's Feather Duster physical card
