\nTo celebrate the trading card game’s 25th anniversary, Konami<\/strong> has announced a Yu-Gi-Oh!<\/strong> game collection for Nintendo Switch and PC with some classic titles.\n<\/p>\n

\nThose of you looking for a bit of Yu-Gi-Oh! nostalgia will be happy to hear that over the weekend, Konami announced<\/a> Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection<\/strong>, a compilation game that will feature various Yu-Gi-Oh! games from as far back as the Game Boy Color. As confirmed in a press release, the collection will also include titles that weren’t previously released in the west. One such game is Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelists for the Game Boy Color, which up to today is a Japan only title. <\/p>\n

\nWhile it wasn’t mentioned in the press release, it was also announced that the Game Boy Advance game Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 6: Expert 2, which was renamed to Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel for its international release, is also included in the collection. Given that this one did have a worldwide release, it’s probably safe to assume we can expect it for the western release too. <\/p>\n
