In case you missed it, Konami announced in February it would be releasing a Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection in Japan and locally on the Nintendo Switch. It also shared information on its European webpage about one of the games in this collection.
Duel back in time with the Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection
Revealed at the “Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters: The Legend of Duelist QUARTER CENTURY” special event in Tokyo, Japan, Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is a new digital title in development, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game.
Coming to the Nintendo Switch™ and Steam®, Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection brings together the earliest Yu-Gi-Oh! games ever released. The collection will include titles that weren’t previously released in the West.
One title has already been confirmed: 2000’s Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelists for the Game Boy Color – a title that was previously released only in Japan. More details will be announced in the future, so please stay tuned.
You can learn more about this collection (and some of the other games included) in the announcement post:

Awesome, interested in whatever comes from this.
Oh, was expecting something else...one Yugioh game I miss that I wished they'd bring back is Duelist of the Roses.
Bring back Duelist of Roses so I can see how the War of the Roses ACTUALLY happened again.
Its been forever since I have played Yu-Gi-Oh. I forgot what changed. I used to use Blue Eyes and I always love Blue Eyes and I used the Chaos Max variant but yeah.
This has been confirmed for the West yes? I hope @nintendolife reviews it. I do want to get back into YGO and I hope it runs well.
I remember the Tri-God Advent game.
I am surprised tha its equel is getting translated.
The selection is going to consist of all their handheld Gameboy and Gameboy Advance entries. I adore Duelist of the Roses, but I'm setting my expectations low for this compilation. Would of been nice if they revealed the number of titles and systems that are involved initially for speculation sake.
Fingers crossed this means we'll get even more of the previous Yu-Gi-Oh videogames than the Early Days Collection - speaking of, happy to hear that's coming outside of Japan, too!
Wow, Japan has a lot more Yugioh games from this era that I knew about.
I had The Sacred Cards which I enjoyed but is far from the authentic Yugioh experience.
Something funny I recall is that the EU release's Spanish translation has some really silly card names, I guess those cards hadn't been printed yet, the order of the words is often wrong so it changes the meaning. "Dragon Master Knight" becomes "Master of Soldier Dragon" which makes it sound like it's BEUM the master, instead of Black Luster Soldier.
They also don't translate the "B." that many cards used to avoid the word "black", so Red-Eyes is "B. dragón rojo-ojos" (which sounds as awkward as "Dragon N. Eyes of Red" would.)
