Yu-Gi-Oh fans have been underserved when it comes to replaying some of the best games from the franchise’s heyday, but that’s all changing with the upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh: Early Days Collection. What’s most exciting about the upcoming compilation is that it includes Game Boy games that didn’t release outside of Japan the first time around. Yu-Gi-Oh: Early Days Collection doesn’t have a release date, and Konami hasn’t revealed the full list of games, but from what we know so far, fans will want to keep this on their radar. Physical edition preorders for Nintendo Switch are now live at Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, and Target for $50.

Of those five games, only Dark Duel Stories released in North America; the other four games were exclusive to Japan. Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters was the franchise’s first big hit and the only entry to release on original Game Boy.
