The full game list for the upcomingYu-Gi-Oh: Early Days Collectionmay have just been leaked online. Back in February, Konami announced that it was releasing a compilation of some of the earliestYu-Gi-Ohvideo games on Steam and Nintendo Switch next year in honor of the franchise’s 25th anniversary, including some that predate the physicalYu-Gi-Ohtrading card game by several years.

In October, it was revealed that Game Boy Advance entries like 2002’s well-receivedYu-Gi-Oh: The Eternal Duelist Soul,The Sacred Cards, and the notoriously difficultReshef of Destructionwill beincluded in theYu-Gi-Oh: Early Days Collection, making it even more enticing for nostalgic fans who grew up during the franchise’s mid-2000s heyday.
Now it seems that the entire list of games in the upcomingYu-Gi-Oh: Early Days Collectionhas been leaked online, as reported by Twitter user Nintendeal. According to this leak, the collection will include a total of 14 classicYu-Gi-Ohgames, with the new additions beingYu-Gi-Oh: Monster Capsule GB(which features one of theYu-Gi-Ohmanga’s earlier gamesin addition to Duel Monsters),Yu-Gi-Oh: Dungeon Dice Monsters(which is centered around the titular game introduced after the “Duelist Kingdom” arc),Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel,World Championship Tournament 2004, Destiny Board Traveler, and7 Trials to Glory: World Championship Tournament 2005.

In trueYu-Gi-Ohfashion, this physical edition will come packed withspecialYu-Gi-Ohpromotional trading cards, with the English version getting two versions of the classic “Harpy’s Feather Duster” card and Japanese fans getting access to “Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth” and “Seiyaryu.”
From this newly leaked list, it appears thatYu-Gi-Oh: Early Days Collectioncovers a full range of titles from the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance eras, but fans have noted that some ofYu-Gi-Oh’s most remembered console titles(such as the original PlayStation’sYu-Gi-Oh: Forbidden Memories) are missing. Perhaps Konami will release a second collection ofYu-Gi-Ohgames featuring these classic titles shouldYu-Gi-Oh: Early Days Collectionprove successful when it hits stores early next year.
