With all the negative press surrounding Hideo Kojima's departure from Konami - along with the notion that it's looking to wind down AAA game development - the company could sure use a break. While it'll still be interesting to see what other new games are announced in the near future, Konami just recently announced that a new Yu-Gi-Oh! game will be coming to the 3DS in all territories this summer.
Not a whole lot is known about the game at this point - it still doesn't even have a title - but the fact that there's a new one coming out will no doubt be good news to fans of this series. We rather liked the first one on the 3DS; praising the depth of its single player, but criticising its omission of multiplayer and bizarre progression system. It'll be interesting to see how this game relates to its predecessor, if it does so at all.
What do you think? Are you looking forward to this? What's your favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! game? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

There was a DS game that was a lot of fun; if they get multiplayer going, I'd give it a whirl.
People still play Yu-Gi-Oh? 😉
The inclusuon of Yami, if the thumbnail on this page suggests anything, gives me a bit of hope that Konami knows about the Yugioh faithful. I heard the PS/Xbox one recently was rather good, so here's hoping that this one follows a similar trend - but with online multiplayer on 3DS this time?
@Tsurii Yes, Konami were the original cards manufacturers for Japan and Europe. They also take their license away from the USA card makers a few years ago.
Sorry Konami. I can still not forgive you.
We don't know anything about the games, nor do we know if the original cast comes back for it.
Of course chances are high, and the new movie featuring the original cast comes out in a few months in Japan, so we'll see I guess.
Hopefully the mobile game will be better than konami's precious endeavors with yugioh mobile / net yugioh games.
The latest one for PS4 is really good, here's hoping they actually release a game dedicated to having a solid, up to date experience.
Favorite one? Hmm to be honest false bound kingdom for the GameCube had me and my bros playing for a long while. Also wheelie breakers on Wii was funner than it probably should have been. Haha.
i don't play yu-gi-oh anymore, (and i was only around 8-9 when i still did)
so with that being said, unless it something like the PlayStation Version, i think i'll pass on this.
They also announced a YGO Online game for PC and Consoles. Long shot, but maybe the Wii U isnt TOO technically behind to be able to play card games online?
Then again knowing Konami, they'll start giving us the old GBA YGO games since they're keen VC supporters....
I'm guessing it will be better than the other Yu-gi-oh! 3DS game. I think the one on Xbox One looks pretty good.
Pokemon Co. just needs to get the Pokemon TCG on 3DS, like iPad.
I'm quite happy YGO Online will be back in future, it had a nice customization and gender fluid as well, the only MMO I ever loved.
@Angelic_Lapras_King GBA YGO vc games, they can be my guest, I loved Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition and Eternal Duelist Soul
@Tsurii They do indeed make the cards!
@SanderEvers What would character customisation honestly bring to the card game other than a protagonist with no personality?
I hope it has multiplayer. I've been turned off from Yu-Gi-Oh online because you have to buy the cards, and that's what I love about the Yu-Gi-Oh games, you get all the cards. My two requirements for this game would be multiplayer and every single card, otherwise I won't pick it up. I didn't pick up the first 3DS title till it was on sale either, and then when I finally got it I was glad I didn't pay full price for it.
If the game features the original characters, then sure. If not, then no.
@SCAR For real! I would love to play it on 3DS or on Android at least.
@worldstraveller Is it the same YGO Online though? It did say A YGO Online game but it can't be that much different to the old one I guess (Just hope the pay to duel system is better this time though.)
I'd welcome some of the GBA games too, but a new one for Wii U would be nice as well.
The only thing that can save this Yu-gi-oh game is if you play the games on motorcycles, with virtual reality scouters, at the same time.
@Angelic_Lapras_King I agree in great deal about the microtransactions, it was terrible, seriously the small pack of cards you won from a duel, you had to pay for it with duel points and they weren't free at all, they could have left to pay was for the customization, structure decks and packs on the store only, the packs from winning duels would be free, but nope.
Like you hopefully is better balanced this time around.
If you knew it was going to set off the filter, why did you do it?
Consider this a warning ~Santa
It's time to d-d-d-d-d-definitely ignore this because supporting Konami AT ALL financially is NOT on my to-do list.
This can't have come out in all territories since there has been no sign of the game in the UK.
This game was release back in July 6, 2016, under the name of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters Saikyo Card Battle! There has been no English release though.
