Yu-Gi-Oh Early Days Collection Deal Brings 14 Classic Games For $20

Yu-Gi-Oh Early Days Collection is currently available for $20 on Nintendo Switch, matching its lowest price to date. The deal cuts the retro compilation in half from its original $50 price and makes it one of the most affordable ways to revisit classic Yu-Gi-Oh handheld games.

Released last year, the collection includes 14 Yu-Gi-Oh RPGs originally launched on Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance between 1998 and 2003. Several of the included titles were previously exclusive to Japan.

What’s Included In Yu-Gi-Oh Early Days Collection

The Early Days Collection focuses entirely on Yu-Gi-Oh’s handheld era, covering the franchise’s earliest RPG and card-battle adaptations. The lineup spans five years of releases and represents the foundation of the series’ video game history.

• 14 classic Yu-Gi-Oh games from the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance eras


• Multiple titles that never received an English release before this collection


• Turn-based dueling, story-driven RPG mechanics, and early rule variations

Physical Switch Edition Includes Rare Trading Card

The Nintendo Switch physical edition includes a bonus Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card Game item. Buyers receive one of two Quarter Century Secret Rare Harpie’s Feather Duster cards, produced to celebrate the franchise’s anniversary.

This bonus is exclusive to the Switch physical release and is not included with digital versions.

How This Collection Compares To Other Yu-Gi-Oh Releases

Unlike later Yu-Gi-Oh console games released on PlayStation and GameCube, the Early Days Collection strictly focuses on handheld titles. These games emphasize slower pacing, simplified rulesets, and story progression over competitive online play.

The compilation offers a different experience than modern Yu-Gi-Oh games, appealing primarily to long-time fans and collectors interested in the franchise’s early design.

Availability And Current Pricing

The $20 price applies to the Nintendo Switch edition and reflects a limited-time discount. Other retailers continue to list the game at higher prices, while PC versions remain closer to standard retail.

Stock availability may vary, especially for the physical edition that includes the Secret Rare trading card.

What To Expect Next

With renewed interest in classic Yu-Gi-Oh games, the Early Days Collection could pave the way for additional retro compilations or expanded handheld libraries. For now, the current discount offers one of the most affordable entry points into Yu-Gi-Oh’s early video game history.
