  • Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters 2: Dark Duel Stories (1999, GBC) – New
  • Yu-Gi-Oh Monster Capsule GB (2000, GBC) – New

  • Yu-Gi Oh Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel (2003, GBA)

Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters represented the franchise’s inaugural major success and was the sole title to debut on the original Game Boy. The series truly flourished on Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance during the early 2000s. Notably, all 14 games launched within a five-year timeframe from 1998 to 2003.

Even more astonishingly, this is not the entirety of the Yu-Gi-Oh games that were released throughout that period. The Early Days Collection encompasses the initial 14 Yu-Gi-Oh portable games, yet Konami also designed numerous console versions for PlayStation, GameCube, and PlayStation 2 in the late ’90s and early 2000s.

Amazon offers an even greater bargain on this one, allowing you to obtain the $30 release for merely $19.50.
