When Konami first revealed the compilation in February 2024, it announced that the 2000 Game Boy Color title Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelists and the 2001 Game Boy Advance entry Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 6: Expert 2 would be part of the compilation. The company has since announced that the compilation will have more than ten classic titles. It also newly added the following titles to the list:

  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters – for Game Boy in 1998
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II: Dark Duel Stories – for Game Boy Color with Game Boy backward compatibility in 1999
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories – released exclusively for Game Boy Color in 2000

Konami will also bring physical releases of the compilation’s Nintendo Switch version both in Japan and the West. Each package will also contain a random bonus card. While the company has yet to reveal the card in the Japanese releases, it has confirmed that the North American and European releases of the physical compilation will come with one of the following two art versions of the spell card Harpie’s Feather Duster.

Yu-Gi-Oh Early Days Collection will be available on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. Konami will announce the compilation’s release date at a later time.
