There is another video here in youtube that basically ripoff parts of your video, but translated to spanish: ruclips.net/video/KIgAhW78GnA/видео.html I'm not sure if this count as plagiarism.
Something important to note is that the first Duel Monsters Game Boy game was the reason the card game rights were handed from Bandai to Konami. The Konami card game was in fact modeled after and expanded on the video game. This is very noticable if you're familiar with the original "Official Rules " ( aka "Junior Rules") of the OCG before the "Expert Rules" that became the standard and the only rules for the TCG. The "Official Rules" genuinely feel like a stop gap in between the video game and the "Expert Rules". Despite not seeming like much today, the GB game was one of the best selling games in Japan that year. It was a BIG DEAL at the time and it was a really important step in formalizing and organizing what was in the manga into the game we know today.
@@holladiewaldfee6071 Yugipedia has a good overview on their article for the OCG under rules revisions and "Official Rules/公式ルール" . I mentioned the "junior rules" because the old Official Rules sometimes get conflated for another similar but seperate OCG ruleset from The Thousand Rule Bible since neither is really documented well in English.
This is probably the most comprehensive guide to Yugioh video games I’ve ever seen and it was great going back in time and seeing how the games have evolved over the years. Thanks for this.
Duelist of the Roses will always be one of my favorite games of all time. I remember the uphill battle of the learning curve, but I fell in love with it after that
same i played it back when i was a child having no idea of anything to slowly being able to finish the game, its the game i keep going back to because its so enjoyable to play my only complaint is i wish it had sequels
@@zoarsnowpaw3549 So there's a youtube channel called Clovis. Their content revolved around DoTR until they faced burnout HOWEVER they made a redux mod for the game. It changed up terrain, starter decks, slot rewards, and made the game much harder overall while still being enjoyable. Highly recommend trying it!
@@jaewooshin5384 I started last month with Tag Force 1, for the first time in my life, after years of thinking that last ygo games lacks that special something. Going slow and easy, having a blast collecting, talking, battling and that duel characters animations (and voice lines if you install the right mod) 😍 I choose to start from TG 1 coz : 1) it makes a perfect sense of progression this way (within games that already had it perfectly themselves as standalone titles) 2) GX era is my childhood dream... Living in Duel Academy and enjoying the life of a Duel Student among legends, becoming a legend yourself. Not mentioning I consider GX TCG era format the best tcg format ever.
I still so badly want a new modern Yugioh RPG video game. Custom characters, cannon character story/questlines, finding cards scattered in a free roaming world, booster packs, monster animations, collectables, even ambitious and superfluous stuff like player housing and extra dueling formats like Turbo Dueling would be amazing. That's the dream right there.
If not that, then I'd like for a re release/remaster of all the Tag Force games, with options to play the game as it was back then, or with the newest rules and cards that change every NPCs deck.
This video really helped me out! I'm an old Magic player who found some Yu GI oh cards for pretty cheap, and my friend is teaching me how to play but doesn't have much spare time, so I figured I would get a video game to help me learn. When I searched for games I was overwhelmed to say the least, but your video helped me figure it out. I appreciate it, so I liked and subbed
Ugh. The eternal duelists soul. So much nostalgia hearing that main menu song in the background. I played this game so much it was unhealthy when I was a kid lol. Brought that game boy EVERYWHERE
I got into Yu-Gi-Oh when I was like 8. the eternal duelist soul was a game changer. it actually helped me understand how the game functions, what effects mean, how they trigger etc. it was great. it even made me confident enough to go to a local tournament with my haphazard deck and get immediately stomped by an 18 year old
This video made me so happy. Yugioh video games were a huge part of my childhood, especially the spin off ones like falsebound kingdom, capsule monster coliseum, and duelist of the roses
I know i remember playing forbidden memories on the PS2 and had all monsters animations... I was like omg i can imagine how much better the monsters animations will look like on next gen system.... And they just got rid of them
Wow, this is incredible. I was actually looking for a yu gi oh history video, being interested to see how the games developed from the origins back when I started playing them, to now with the master duel. And this video delivers just that.
I really enjoyed Duelist of the Roses. The way the battles worked were a ton of fun. Also gameplaywise the Power of Chaos was the smoothest - beside the animations. My friends and I played a ton of Lan games with it. Unfortunately it was a bit lackluster in card volume eventually.
Duelist of the Roses was amazing. As much as I loved games where you played the game normally, stuff like DotR kept me playing for years. I still boot it up on my PS2 from time to time.
You can speed up the animations of the Power of Chaos games by starting them from the command line with the `-speedy` command line options (details on the pc gaming wiki)
I remember when I was little, I loved the world championships so much. I always played them on road trips and vacations, I have such amazing memories. At the same time, I always wanted to play the Tag Force games but I never owned a PSP. I’d always watch CPU vs CPU battles on RUclips with music layered over them. So awesome. I’ve luckily been able to play them with a PSP emulator, but I still want to own a PSP and get hard copies sometime soon!
I bought Forbidden Memories way back in the day. I loved seeing my favorite cards have 3D models...though the code system was BS because you needed an absolutely absurd amount of star chips to get anything cool and you only got a couple per duel. Gameshark came in pretty handy lol.
I miss those whack Yugioh games, like Kingdom of Illusion, Sacred Cards, Reshef, Forbidden Memories, Dungeon Dice, War of the Roses and all the other ones that took liberties from the base game. They were amazing. The ones with stories were especially dear to my heart. They felt like someone made a yugioh fanfic with their self insert OC, delegating yugi and the gang to mere side characters while they're the big ticket player who progresses the story.
I love it when trading card games have a video game. It's a great time capsule for the format. Pokemon had that one on the Game Boy Color. Magic has a few scattered here and there, but Yu Gi Oh was always the best at releasing games. I'm sure that being owned by a video game company (Konami) helped with this. Great video, I really enjoyed it!
I really miss the amount of YGO games that we used to get and the diversity of these games. I'll always lament Konami's current disinterest in capitalizing on the franchise's immense potential in video games and other areas outside the OCG/TCG. Hopefully the upcoming Rush Duels game is a sign of things changing. Loved the video Shiny. Well researched and very in-depth on a topic that not many people seem interested in. I guess this is pretty much a preview vid for your future LPs XD Can't wait to see you play Falsebound Kingdom.
I am gagging for a game modelled after GX. Basically Duelist academy for the game boy but with an actual story and decent gameplay loop, not to mention updated cardpool
@@nightshroud9671 I honestly fully disagree, its not meant to be a game, its meant to be like dueling network or w.e the current ones are, but official. It is just a sim. If anything it makes me hopeful future games wont be that since there is no point, we already have Master Duel, and it will presumably be updated as time goes by
I wish Konami would return to what Yu-Gi-Oh! is actually about at the core: King of GameS (emphasis on gameS). Forbidden Memories, Duelist of the Roses, DDM, Reshep of Destruction, Capsule Coloseum, Falsebound Kingdom, those were the good times for being a YGO fan. Now we get the same minimum effort formula once a few years on digital release...
I always felt YuGiOh made a better video game then a regular TCG. Of course I am a Pokemon TCG player so my opinion might very well be skewed, but I have played a good amount of different TCGs and YuGiOh always felt far more complex then it needs to be lending those mechanics to a video game which does a far better job of dealing with and keeping track of those complexities.
As a TCG player, we see enjoyment in both. Games like Master Duel exist now which are proper simulators which figure out rulings on their own and there's also fan made simulators like EDOPro which also do auto rulings. However on the flip side, auto rulings means every time you CAN do something you have to be prompted about it, so interactions that happen in the TCG like "missing the timing" (the act of missing the activation timing for a spell, trap or card effect so the effect won't resolve) can be completely lost. Another example is with Master Duel, where the game automatically pauses for a little and your opponents side of the field lights up red when they have something they can potentially respond with. In the TCG, this isn't really as much of a thing. Players will ask for responses and stuff but you don't have dead giveaways that "oh shit my opponent has ash blossom" or something. Honestly I think that Yu-Gi-Oh is a game that greatly benefits both from video game play and physical card game play. I do both and they both have their own fun and unique quirks that make the experience enjoyable
I mean, there's a reason why completely manual simulators like Dueling Book exist and are quite popular. Also the way cards work can lead to some goofy circumstances and that just adds to the charm tbh
Modern Yugioh (hell even way back 10 years ago) is too fast. Games are decided within 2 - 3 turns. First turn kill decks are a thing. All of this is because of some crazy combos that could only exist in YuGiOh, which would be fun against CPU, but not against real human.
@@Aliens1337 most of the people i know who play yugioh, myself included, play it instead of pokemon tcg, hearthstone, magic etc. *because* of the super fast pacing. i would hate to see that go away. there already exist some old formats, like Goat or Edison format that the community has made. look up Format Library, you'll probably find duelists who are interested in the same format as yourself also just to note, first turn kill decks arent that successful if the other player has a deck that can interrupt with hand traps. which is basically every deck.
Bro you fuckin killed this video! 💯 I had soooo much nostalgia whilst watching. 😢 From Duelist of the Roses, The Sacred Cards, Reshef's cheatin ass, Wheelie Breakers' crazy, fun, interactive duels, Destiny Board Traveler, World Champ & Tag Force series, Link Evo, Duel Links, now Master Duel. This video almost brought me to tears bro. Lol Again man, you jus gave me one helluva nostalgia trip yo! Haha 👍🏾
This video was incredible. Perfect amount of time and information on each game. I have so much nostalgia for the older GBA games and was super curious about newer games. Great job!
I really enjoyed your History of Yu-Gi-Oh! Video Games! My Top Yu-Gi-Oh! Video Games are: 1. Yu-Gi-Oh! LOTD Link Evolution 2. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5 & 6 (Thank the God Cards there's a very good English Patch) 3. Yu-Gi-Oh! Ultimate Masters WC 2006 4. Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists of The Roses 5. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Beginning of Destiny
I love it when Konami experiment with the Yugioh franchise! I am definately gonna try Falsebound Kingdom! It sadly never released here in Europe apparently so I never played it back in the day...
@@ninjaworshipper yeah I played it on the dolphin emulator and found myself putting st 2x or so speed to walk faster and also to have animations go faster lol.... It pretty consistently crashed after about every mission or so so I ended up just restarting the emulator after every mission and that seemed to do a decent job. Fun game was one of my favorites as a kid and I still like it sometimes
God... Over the Nexus will forever be one of my favorite games of all time. It's how I got into the series, and it's such a shame the series stopped there.
the 5ds world championship games are the epitome of "hard start, but once you get going you're off to the races" whoever thought it was a good idea to have counter fairy be one of the starting npc decks needs help. starting area's should never be insanely difficult to deal with
I remember playing that Stairway World Championship GBA game on my computer so so much with higher speed. So primitive in hindsight but I loved it. All the Championship games were great and I was really really sad when they stopped them after 2011. That's also the reason why everything after Synchro Summons became way to complicated for the me...
I had Reshef of Destruction as a kid and I always assumed I just sucked at it since I was good at Sacred Cards. Its kind of a relief knowing I wasn’t just bad 😅
I tried Forbidden Memories last year, man what a game. Amazing sound track and I would've loved the idea how fusion summoning things based on how they look as a kid. I didn't beat it just because it became a very tedious game but I like what it is at the same time.
Me and a friend played it back when it released and we were so confused about why it didn't follow the "rules" of the show (this was season 1 era) and we learned the power of our lord and Savior Twin Headed Thunder Dragon, beloved by all.
@@Sigismund697 Honestly, it is wild to think about how much work it would be to maintain a "Season 1-accurate game". One has to write at least 10 specific interactions for every card.
This is my childhood :*)) Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel is the most OG Yu-Gi-Oh game ever. I love it so much even nowadays.
To beat Reshef of Destruction, I had to edit my deck for every single opponent to make sure my monsters would be super effective against theirs, and ran duplicating monsters to bring out God Cards as fast as possible. It takes an unreasonable amount of time investment to beat this absolutely cruel game.
you brought back so many memories of my childhood i stricktly remeber that yugioh game where i turned firegrass and the squirrel into a fire lion. it feels like an acid dream the rules were so off.
I honestly wish there were more video games released during the Xyz era. Why did they stop with the World Championship and Tag Force games? Edit: 38:36 You're insane. I'm surprised that Valkyrus appears in the Limited to 1 section. It's pretty cool, kudos to you
They were probably trying to skimp on the cost since the game was getting too big. Compare the GX era games to the 5D’s era ones. They had to cut down on the animations
@@pn2294 Yu-Gi-Oh millennium duels on ps3 isn't even 1 GB and you get no story,1 song,almost no monster animation and you have to grind for hours and even then you can't make a good combo deck because you can't buy packs without money.
When I downloaded if from ps store it was 500 mb btw.Stop making stupid excuses because they are ridiculously lazy and compare it to any other RPG,action game or shooter because they have more characters animation, dialogues,weather animation and many more things.
Duelist of the Roses is so much fun. I forgot how to play it now. I used to play through the entire game on one sitting. I tried out different decks and either get my butt handed to me or I smash through like nothing. Perhaps I should go back
As a 9 year old kid at the time living in the Philippines with no access to game guides or the internet, playing Reshef of Destruction was an absolute nightmare. I never finished the game and was mostly stuck during the Neo Ghouls arc.
I remember playing a ROM of Refresh of Destruction thinking "I beat Sacred Cards, I should be fine" than I kept dying in the beginning of the game and went "huh, okay"
Loved this very detailed video gave me such a nostalgia trip haha. I started with the ps1 game forbidden memories and dark duel stories for GB since then I loved playing the video games. Seeing this video made me appreciate the evolution I need to get involved on the Tag force games more and try reshef of destruction as a kid I used to get mad with how brutal it was but now as an adult I love the challenge 😂😂
I loved these games growing up, especially since you never knew what you were going to get. Traditional Duel Monsters? An unconventional reinterpretation? A racing game? They certainly kept my interest, even the less-good ones.
I am proud to say that I have have beaten Reshef of Destruction 3 times. Once on an actual GBA. My second run banned Ra Phoenix Mode and my third run was a mandatory duels only run. So no grinding whatsoever. It was crazy and I found myself constantly way underleveled. I had to counterdeck everyone using the elemental system and abuse knowledge of how the AI operates. I've also completed all the achievements for it on RetroAchievements. I don't have much knowledge about Forbidden Memories, but I think it may be more difficult than Reshef. At the very least, Forbidden Memories has a much steeper learning curve due to not closely resembling the TCG. Reshef was difficult due to the deck capacity system and how your opponents have decks you cannot have and at the end game far more life points than 8000, combined with duel gauntlet's where your remaining Life Points carry over into the next duel, but I found it easier to pick up and play as a beginner than Forbidden Memories. I'm still not sure how about how the astrological signs work in Forbidden Memories. I'm sure GameFAQs could tell me though if I decide to play it through. For people who want to experience Reshef without the grinding, I would recommend the "Reshef is Actually Tolerable Now" patch.
tag force 5 is the ultimate yugioh game, the cardpool was cool back then, the duels are interesting, the packs are interesting, the story is interesting super addictive, you wouldnt mind 100% that game you know how grindy card games, you have to win 5 games to open a pack, in tag force 5 you win one battle you open 11 packs
If the elemental alignment thing from early yugioh game seem very bizarre it's actually mentioned exactly one time in 1 page of the manga when grandpa is explaining how to play the card game. I think this is suppost to be why Flame Swordsman is able to beat dinosaur cards. They are allegedly forest attribute or something
I wish they would go back to the storylines they had in the Tag Force games but on a larger scale. Rather than just have characters from one era, do this time travel/different dimensions shenanigans where the characters can crossover and battle it out in different arcs and different tournaments. There's so much potential
A new errata for Pot of Greed! Up to two cards can be drawn if there is space in the hand! Now finally we have some clarification as to what Pot of Greed does.
10:49 Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel was my go-to Yu-Gi-Oh! game when I was a teen. So many hours put into that game and still got it. I put my actual deck into that game, playing Mokuba to get decks easy. Kid was trash too, stop putting your cards in attack mode every time Mokuba! 13:44 Falsebound Kingdom was my shit too. Played a lot of RTS games and playing Pokémon a lot because it was at its height at its popularity made this game a given for me.
This video brought back so many fond memories of my past decade with yugioh before I inevitably moved on to other games franchises. Now, I really see the influences of what I love in current games all stem back to what Yugioh had taught me about card games
Fun not very known fact for everyone about Yugioh Duel Transer for Wii: It was initially advertised that the game would come with a "Card Scanner" and showed a picture of some sort of external device that scans cards. I vividly remember the advertisement and being so confused when it never came with anything after buying the game. If you look about it online you should be able to find the picture.
Would love to see a remaster of Duelist of the Roses with online PVP or some extra game content with increased difficulty. Game is fantastic but got to be a little too easy once you knew what you were doing.
In 2002, my young brother and I had Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories for the Nintendo Game Boy Color handheld systems, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories for the original PlayStation console system. We played them. It was fun and it was hard at first, but once we learned to it, its was easy.
This was a really interesting video. I liked seeing how Yu-Gi-Oh! games evolved and changed over the years. Reshef of Destruction was my first Yu-Gi-Oh! video game, but it was annoying difficult as well as tedious, which was a shame since I remember liking the storyline. Seeing footage of Nightmare Troubadour and Spirit Caller was so nostalgic for me. I played those games for hours, especially Spirit Caller. Reverse of Arcadia and Over the Nexus were really good too. I wish that they had kept the World Championship series or at least kept making games based on each anime series. It isn't too surprising that they stopped when I'm sure that the games weren't huge hits, but they were fun ways to play the card game and being able to play through the storylines was a lot of fun too. At least there's Duel Links and Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution.
It is actually surprising how suddenly and permanently the specific anime/manga-branded videogames scaled back. They made so stupidly many released for DM and GX, then a few for 5ds and then...well, one or two releases each for Zexal and ArcV, I guess. Then really none for Vrains as far as I can tell. And now strangely one each for Sevens and Go Rush.
I loved the Power of Chaos games as a kid, even though I only got into Yugioh as a whole properly much later. That's why I bought all three for a quick nostalgia trip last year and I had a lot of fun with them, but unfortunately a glitch I couldn't figure out how to fix kept resetting my progress, so I shelved them sooner than I woulda liked to :/
Good list, this brings nostalgia. There is one game missing, "Yu-Gi-Oh BAM!" it was a game for facebook, that also didn't follow the TCG rules. It can't be played anymore.
Cross Duel plays much differently from the card game and is almost a combination of all alternative dueling styles. It has set movement for monsters like most Yugioh board games, 3 s/t zones and 3 monster zones. It's slower and plays with 4000 LP like Speed Duels, you get to summon your whole hand like Rush Duel, the comparisons go on. The other more recent games are all core parts of the main game, but Cross Duel is going back to the more experimental side of Yugioh.
I started collecting sealed games awhile back. Haven't bought any in a minute but I have about 20 something sealed games. Some of them are getting pretty rare.
I have Reshef of Destruction which I haven't bothered to finish yet. As you correctly pointed out it's incredibly grindy and difficult but in all honesty the main reason that this game is so hard is the elemental weaknesses. There have been countless times when I had managed to outsmart the A.I or get lucky with my opening hand just to get my strong monster destroyed later on because "electric beats water, so my 300 atk shitter can destroy your 2.500 atk monster haHaa 🤓"
An expanded Dungeon Dice Monsters would be a great addition to Duel Links or Master Duel, the GBA game is just a bit too easy once you know what you're doing. And use giant soldier of stone to break blocks in some of the later levels.
Most of the Yu-Gi-Oh video games are actually quite fun and engaging. The old series ones prior to The Eternal Duelist Soul actually felt like a card game RPG hybrid with the Solar Alignment/Element system while the games released afterwards were all quite good simulations of the real card game, particularly Worldwide Edition, Ultimate Masters and the Tag Force games. The biggest issue with the games is that in the case of the cartridge games specifically, they ALL have the nasty habit of erasing themselves after a period of time (even the ones that didn't have save batteries like the Nintendo DS released ones). Emulation fixed this issue, but it's still present and hinders an overall great experience.
I really enjoyed playing Yugioh Online Duel Accelerator. I had a Blackwing & Dragunity deck but unfortunately got hacked and lost everything. This was about 6 months before the entire service shut down, so it was going to be lost long term anyway. The AI challenges were honestly my favourite bit and the main reason I have 150 hours in Legacy of the Duelist
This was fantastic, but you missed one game that was also on the 3DS, released in Japan only. "Yu-Gi-Oh!: Saikyo Card Battle!" Where this game, Duel Links, and Speed Duels too inspired from a Yu-Gi-Oh! arcade game, "Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Terminal". It also brought back the open world-like story mode.
Whether the game is for everyone or not, Yu-Gi-Oh 5D wheelie breakers is a game that I'm surprised actually was made, it just seems like such a ridiculous and janky concept, but a really really fun one as well.
The only Yugioh game I ever owned was Eternal Duelist Soul, a banger obviously, but I had absolutely no idea that Yugioh games that weren't straight up dueling simulators existed (aside from the obvious ones like dungeon dice monsters). Really cool that they experimented with a vast array of variations on the game despite the TCG being very well established. Very in the spirit of Yugioh IMO, it's pretty clear in-universe that duel monsters is played in many different ways.
This was a trip down memory lane. Duelist of the Roses was my first YuGiOh game and it was interesting 😅. Reshef of Destruction was my second and I remember growing so incredibly frustrated with it. But that was mostly becuade I was trying to play it like the traditional card game and that wasn't the case. Dawn of Destiny and Tag Force were the ones I spent the most time playing when I was younger. Thanks for this trip back into my youth.
Great video. I used to love playing eternal duelist and world on my gameboy sp. played hours and hours of it I would sometimes handicap the deck myself just to make things interesting against the characters and the computer that kaiba created lol. Good times!
What a fantastic and educational video! Thank you for your hard work! You've got yourself a new subscriber! also, I'd like to say I really love 5Ds 2011 WCS it's such a great game but the grind is very real 😫 Hopefully someday I'll be able to experience these PS2 games you listed
Honestly my favs are WC08 and WC11. 11 to me is just the most polished with a story mode that sort of follows the 5Ds story but also deviates just enough to be unique, updated card pool to Starstrike Blast it's great. 08 on the other hand is just fun, it's old school GX era yugioh before synchro summoning, there's tons of decks to try like Zombie, Warrior Toolbox, Gravekeepers all within the first like, 2 worlds. Then later you get access to actual meta level decks at the time like Destiny HERO and Monarchs. Also that final duel is brutal, i had to essentially build a version of D-HERO Monarch, a proper meta deck of the era just to beat it. 5 Straight duels against powerful competent decks with lifepoint retention? Fuck off. 09 was honestly the worst to me. You can synchro summon! 3 monsters, the rest are locked to the postgame. There's a story mode! You're Yusei from 5Ds season 1 with pretty much 0 deviation. And oh dear god that final duel. why yes i would *love* to face Zombies, Ice Barrier, Lightsworn and Tele-DAD all in a row while keeping my lp between duels.

i remember faceing Mai Valentine the first time when i was a kid.... i got beaten so hard and won after idk how many duels (it were a lot) xD
The tag force games were my favorite like the dueling with the cool duelist animations were just too cool. Wish they made more games like that
Legacy of the Duelist could easily have those animations, would be amazing
One question which tag force psp game should I choose? I'm gonna play the old games
@@jaewooshin5384I'd say give Tag Force 3 a try (based on what the Yu-Gi-Oh! subreddit consensus seems to be)

Going slow and easy, having a blast collecting, talking, battling and that duel characters animations (and voice lines if you install the right mod) 😍
I choose to start from TG 1 coz :
1) it makes a perfect sense of progression this way (within games that already had it perfectly themselves as standalone titles)
2) GX era is my childhood dream... Living in Duel Academy and enjoying the life of a Duel Student among legends, becoming a legend yourself.
Not mentioning I consider GX TCG era format the best tcg format ever.
Right I need to find out how to play tag duel SO BAD
I still so badly want a new modern Yugioh RPG video game. Custom characters, cannon character story/questlines, finding cards scattered in a free roaming world, booster packs, monster animations, collectables, even ambitious and superfluous stuff like player housing and extra dueling formats like Turbo Dueling would be amazing. That's the dream right there.
If not that, then I'd like for a re release/remaster of all the Tag Force games, with options to play the game as it was back then, or with the newest rules and cards that change every NPCs deck.

I appreciate it, so I liked and subbed
Ugh. The eternal duelists soul. So much nostalgia hearing that main menu song in the background. I played this game so much it was unhealthy when I was a kid lol. Brought that game boy EVERYWHERE
I got into Yu-Gi-Oh when I was like 8. the eternal duelist soul was a game changer. it actually helped me understand how the game functions, what effects mean, how they trigger etc. it was great. it even made me confident enough to go to a local tournament with my haphazard deck and get immediately stomped by an 18 year old
This video made me so happy. Yugioh video games were a huge part of my childhood, especially the spin off ones like falsebound kingdom, capsule monster coliseum, and duelist of the roses
The thing I miss most is the animations, but most people don’t care about them.
Good point
I know i remember playing forbidden memories on the PS2 and had all monsters animations... I was like omg i can imagine how much better the monsters animations will look like on next gen system.... And they just got rid of them
Wow, this is incredible. I was actually looking for a yu gi oh history video, being interested to see how the games developed from the origins back when I started playing them, to now with the master duel. And this video delivers just that.
Glad you like this video! :)
4:30 wow okay I did not know that. Thank you so much for this video lol because that cleared up so much for me.
I really enjoyed Duelist of the Roses. The way the battles worked were a ton of fun.
Also gameplaywise the Power of Chaos was the smoothest - beside the animations. My friends and I played a ton of Lan games with it. Unfortunately it was a bit lackluster in card volume eventually.
Duelist of the Roses was amazing. As much as I loved games where you played the game normally, stuff like DotR kept me playing for years. I still boot it up on my PS2 from time to time.
Fuckin love Duelist of The Roses. I always and still play World Championship 2004. I Played it so much and got a Slate Warrior when I got it! Haha 😂
You can speed up the animations of the Power of Chaos games by starting them from the command line with the `-speedy` command line options (details on the pc gaming wiki)
I remember when I was little, I loved the world championships so much. I always played them on road trips and vacations, I have such amazing memories. At the same time, I always wanted to play the Tag Force games but I never owned a PSP. I’d always watch CPU vs CPU battles on RUclips with music layered over them. So awesome. I’ve luckily been able to play them with a PSP emulator, but I still want to own a PSP and get hard copies sometime soon!
The real hardware can't be beaten tbh
I bought Forbidden Memories way back in the day. I loved seeing my favorite cards have 3D models...though the code system was BS because you needed an absolutely absurd amount of star chips to get anything cool and you only got a couple per duel.
Gameshark came in pretty handy lol.
I miss those whack Yugioh games, like Kingdom of Illusion, Sacred Cards, Reshef, Forbidden Memories, Dungeon Dice, War of the Roses and all the other ones that took liberties from the base game. They were amazing.
The ones with stories were especially dear to my heart. They felt like someone made a yugioh fanfic with their self insert OC, delegating yugi and the gang to mere side characters while they're the big ticket player who progresses the story.
I love it when trading card games have a video game. It's a great time capsule for the format. Pokemon had that one on the Game Boy Color. Magic has a few scattered here and there, but Yu Gi Oh was always the best at releasing games. I'm sure that being owned by a video game company (Konami) helped with this. Great video, I really enjoyed it!
I really miss the amount of YGO games that we used to get and the diversity of these games. I'll always lament Konami's current disinterest in capitalizing on the franchise's immense potential in video games and other areas outside the OCG/TCG. Hopefully the upcoming Rush Duels game is a sign of things changing. Loved the video Shiny. Well researched and very in-depth on a topic that not many people seem interested in. I guess this is pretty much a preview vid for your future LPs XD Can't wait to see you play Falsebound Kingdom.
Well people complain when the game isn’t just a dueling sim so…
Thanks a lot! :D Glad you enjoyed it!
The fact we got a game(that is master duels) that has no anime characters is quite concerning
I am gagging for a game modelled after GX. Basically Duelist academy for the game boy but with an actual story and decent gameplay loop, not to mention updated cardpool
@@nightshroud9671 I honestly fully disagree, its not meant to be a game, its meant to be like dueling network or w.e the current ones are, but official. It is just a sim. If anything it makes me hopeful future games wont be that since there is no point, we already have Master Duel, and it will presumably be updated as time goes by
I wish Konami would return to what Yu-Gi-Oh! is actually about at the core: King of GameS (emphasis on gameS). Forbidden Memories, Duelist of the Roses, DDM, Reshep of Destruction, Capsule Coloseum, Falsebound Kingdom, those were the good times for being a YGO fan. Now we get the same minimum effort formula once a few years on digital release...
Konami:"Who cares about being the king of games when you can be the king of Ash Blossom instead?"
I always felt YuGiOh made a better video game then a regular TCG. Of course I am a Pokemon TCG player so my opinion might very well be skewed, but I have played a good amount of different TCGs and YuGiOh always felt far more complex then it needs to be lending those mechanics to a video game which does a far better job of dealing with and keeping track of those complexities.
As a TCG player, we see enjoyment in both. Games like Master Duel exist now which are proper simulators which figure out rulings on their own and there's also fan made simulators like EDOPro which also do auto rulings.
However on the flip side, auto rulings means every time you CAN do something you have to be prompted about it, so interactions that happen in the TCG like "missing the timing" (the act of missing the activation timing for a spell, trap or card effect so the effect won't resolve) can be completely lost.
Another example is with Master Duel, where the game automatically pauses for a little and your opponents side of the field lights up red when they have something they can potentially respond with. In the TCG, this isn't really as much of a thing. Players will ask for responses and stuff but you don't have dead giveaways that "oh shit my opponent has ash blossom" or something.
Honestly I think that Yu-Gi-Oh is a game that greatly benefits both from video game play and physical card game play. I do both and they both have their own fun and unique quirks that make the experience enjoyable
I mean, there's a reason why completely manual simulators like Dueling Book exist and are quite popular.
Also the way cards work can lead to some goofy circumstances and that just adds to the charm tbh
Modern Yugioh (hell even way back 10 years ago) is too fast. Games are decided within 2 - 3 turns. First turn kill decks are a thing. All of this is because of some crazy combos that could only exist in YuGiOh, which would be fun against CPU, but not against real human.
@@Aliens1337
This. Modern Yugioh is complete caps and needs for cards to rotate out of it standard format like in Magic or Hearthstone.
@@Aliens1337 most of the people i know who play yugioh, myself included, play it instead of pokemon tcg, hearthstone, magic etc. *because* of the super fast pacing. i would hate to see that go away. there already exist some old formats, like Goat or Edison format that the community has made. look up Format Library, you'll probably find duelists who are interested in the same format as yourself
also just to note, first turn kill decks arent that successful if the other player has a deck that can interrupt with hand traps. which is basically every deck.
The amount of hours I spent battling freaking Joey in Joey the Passion is insane. But loved every second of it.
Bro you fuckin killed this video! 💯
I had soooo much nostalgia whilst watching. 😢
From Duelist of the Roses, The Sacred Cards, Reshef's cheatin ass, Wheelie Breakers' crazy, fun, interactive duels,
Destiny Board Traveler, World Champ & Tag Force series, Link Evo, Duel Links, now Master Duel.
This video almost brought me to tears bro. Lol
Again man, you jus gave me one helluva nostalgia trip yo! Haha 👍🏾
This video was incredible. Perfect amount of time and information on each game. I have so much nostalgia for the older GBA games and was super curious about newer games. Great job!
I really enjoyed your History of Yu-Gi-Oh! Video Games!
My Top Yu-Gi-Oh! Video Games are:
1. Yu-Gi-Oh! LOTD Link Evolution
2. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5 & 6 (Thank the God Cards there's a very good English Patch)
3. Yu-Gi-Oh! Ultimate Masters WC 2006
4. Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists of The Roses
5. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Beginning of Destiny
Glad you enjoyed it! Nice list!
Is there any point in buying link evolution over the regular LOTD version if I only intend to collect cards until GX and maybe 5Ds ?
I love it when Konami experiment with the Yugioh franchise! I am definately gonna try Falsebound Kingdom! It sadly never released here in Europe apparently so I never played it back in the day...
It did. I have it. I think it went under the name Kingdom of Illusion.
It's a fun pickup if you get the chance. It's definitely a game intended to be played multiple times, but I thought it was a ton of fun
fair warning, it's hella buggy on the dolphin emulator and if you play it at regular speed on a real Gamecube, it can be veryyyyy slow
@@ninjaworshipper yeah I played it on the dolphin emulator and found myself putting st 2x or so speed to walk faster and also to have animations go faster lol....
It pretty consistently crashed after about every mission or so so I ended up just restarting the emulator after every mission and that seemed to do a decent job.
Fun game was one of my favorites as a kid and I still like it sometimes
@@ninjaworshipper It's not particularly more buggy on dolphin than on GC, it has crashing and save-issues regardless.
God... Over the Nexus will forever be one of my favorite games of all time. It's how I got into the series, and it's such a shame the series stopped there.
the 5ds world championship games are the epitome of "hard start, but once you get going you're off to the races"
whoever thought it was a good idea to have counter fairy be one of the starting npc decks needs help. starting area's should never be insanely difficult to deal with
God I was playing tag force 5 earlier today and THAT STARTER DECK IS CRAPPPPPPPP
I remember playing that Stairway World Championship GBA game on my computer so so much with higher speed. So primitive in hindsight but I loved it.
All the Championship games were great and I was really really sad when they stopped them after 2011. That's also the reason why everything after Synchro Summons became way to complicated for the me...
I had Reshef of Destruction as a kid and I always assumed I just sucked at it since I was good at Sacred Cards. Its kind of a relief knowing I wasn’t just bad 😅
I just played through both games last month and reshef is would crushing compared to sacred cards! Great to finally beat.
36:05 The most notable thing from World Duel Carnival I spied by looking at the Gameplay is the first name of the Top Hat-wearing Mrs. Williams...
well....that was worth the watch, great video you have produced here :)
Duelists of the roses was fantastic, got to say, master duel is great!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video motivated me to dig through my old games to find my old PS2 copies of Duelist of the Roses and Capsule Monster Coliseum. Still a blast!
I tried Forbidden Memories last year, man what a game. Amazing sound track and I would've loved the idea how fusion summoning things based on how they look as a kid. I didn't beat it just because it became a very tedious game but I like what it is at the same time.
its very hard to beat since you need to either grind very hard or have stupid luck at the last part of the game. Regardless its a very fun game.
15 card mod really helps!
Me and a friend played it back when it released and we were so confused about why it didn't follow the "rules" of the show (this was season 1 era) and we learned the power of our lord and Savior Twin Headed Thunder Dragon, beloved by all.
@@Sigismund697 twin headed thunder dragon was the goat for sure!
@@Sigismund697 Honestly, it is wild to think about how much work it would be to maintain a "Season 1-accurate game". One has to write at least 10 specific interactions for every card.
Wow, that was descriptive, bun fun at the same time! Nicely done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is my childhood :*))
Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel
is the most OG Yu-Gi-Oh game ever. I love it so much even nowadays.
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2 is imo the best game made in the series. I wish I could go back and have that game with a PSP again. Unreal
To beat Reshef of Destruction, I had to edit my deck for every single opponent to make sure my monsters would be super effective against theirs, and ran duplicating monsters to bring out God Cards as fast as possible. It takes an unreasonable amount of time investment to beat this absolutely cruel game.
cant believe i just found this video one day after its been uploaded...im on a yugioh video game binge rn
Hopefully you enjoyed it!
I never knew there were soooooooo many Yugioh games lol. Never heard of yugi the destiny and those other games
Those are definitely some of the less known ones lol
Duelist of the roses was iconic I remember rushing home after school being stuck on Pegasus and his room deck for weeks
you brought back so many memories of my childhood i stricktly remeber that yugioh game where i turned firegrass and the squirrel into a fire lion. it feels like an acid dream the rules were so off.
I honestly wish there were more video games released during the Xyz era. Why did they stop with the World Championship and Tag Force games?
Edit: 38:36 You're insane. I'm surprised that Valkyrus appears in the Limited to 1 section. It's pretty cool, kudos to you
They were probably trying to skimp on the cost since the game was getting too big.
Compare the GX era games to the 5D’s era ones. They had to cut down on the animations
@@pn2294 Yu-Gi-Oh millennium duels on ps3 isn't even 1 GB and you get no story,1 song,almost no monster animation and you have to grind for hours and even then you can't make a good combo deck because you can't buy packs without money.
When I downloaded if from ps store it was 500 mb btw.Stop making stupid excuses because they are ridiculously lazy and compare it to any other RPG,action game or shooter because they have more characters animation, dialogues,weather animation and many more things.
it was around the time that AAA game development was sucking out every resource from konami game division
Unless I’m just blind, I notice a distinct lack of Yu-Gi-Oh! BAM…
I remember that
Duelist of the Roses is so much fun. I forgot how to play it now. I used to play through the entire game on one sitting. I tried out different decks and either get my butt handed to me or I smash through like nothing. Perhaps I should go back
As a 9 year old kid at the time living in the Philippines with no access to game guides or the internet, playing Reshef of Destruction was an absolute nightmare. I never finished the game and was mostly stuck during the Neo Ghouls arc.
I love spirit caller and nightmare troubadour subbed to your channel by the way great yugioh content :)
Just to add to Sacred Cards is that it did have a functional card shop run by Yugi's grandpa where you could buy individual cards.
I remember playing a ROM of Refresh of Destruction thinking "I beat Sacred Cards, I should be fine" than I kept dying in the beginning of the game and went "huh, okay"
Loved this very detailed video gave me such a nostalgia trip haha. I started with the ps1 game forbidden memories and dark duel stories for GB since then I loved playing the video games. Seeing this video made me appreciate the evolution I need to get involved on the Tag force games more and try reshef of destruction as a kid I used to get mad with how brutal it was but now as an adult I love the challenge 😂😂
I loved these games growing up, especially since you never knew what you were going to get. Traditional Duel Monsters? An unconventional reinterpretation? A racing game?
They certainly kept my interest, even the less-good ones.
the fact that we never got a duel academy MMO is something that still hurts to this day.
I am proud to say that I have have beaten Reshef of Destruction 3 times. Once on an actual GBA. My second run banned Ra Phoenix Mode and my third run was a mandatory duels only run. So no grinding whatsoever. It was crazy and I found myself constantly way underleveled. I had to counterdeck everyone using the elemental system and abuse knowledge of how the AI operates. I've also completed all the achievements for it on RetroAchievements. I don't have much knowledge about Forbidden Memories, but I think it may be more difficult than Reshef. At the very least, Forbidden Memories has a much steeper learning curve due to not closely resembling the TCG. Reshef was difficult due to the deck capacity system and how your opponents have decks you cannot have and at the end game far more life points than 8000, combined with duel gauntlet's where your remaining Life Points carry over into the next duel, but I found it easier to pick up and play as a beginner than Forbidden Memories. I'm still not sure how about how the astrological signs work in Forbidden Memories. I'm sure GameFAQs could tell me though if I decide to play it through. For people who want to experience Reshef without the grinding, I would recommend the "Reshef is Actually Tolerable Now" patch.
tag force 5 is the ultimate yugioh game, the cardpool was cool back then, the duels are interesting, the packs are interesting, the story is interesting super addictive, you wouldnt mind 100% that game
you know how grindy card games, you have to win 5 games to open a pack, in tag force 5 you win one battle you open 11 packs
If the elemental alignment thing from early yugioh game seem very bizarre it's actually mentioned exactly one time in 1 page of the manga when grandpa is explaining how to play the card game.
I think this is suppost to be why Flame Swordsman is able to beat dinosaur cards. They are allegedly forest attribute or something
I loved this video so much thanks for letting me revisit my childhood
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yu-Gi-Oh [GX/5DS] Tag Force [3/4] are in my opinion by far some of the best ways to experience Yu-Gi-Oh, 7/10 would recommend
To this day I fondly remember duelist of the roses. I wish they'd remake it
I wish they would go back to the storylines they had in the Tag Force games but on a larger scale. Rather than just have characters from one era, do this time travel/different dimensions shenanigans where the characters can crossover and battle it out in different arcs and different tournaments. There's so much potential
A new errata for Pot of Greed! Up to two cards can be drawn if there is space in the hand! Now finally we have some clarification as to what Pot of Greed does.
10:49
Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel was my go-to Yu-Gi-Oh! game when I was a teen. So many hours put into that game and still got it. I put my actual deck into that game, playing Mokuba to get decks easy. Kid was trash too, stop putting your cards in attack mode every time Mokuba!
13:44
Falsebound Kingdom was my shit too. Played a lot of RTS games and playing Pokémon a lot because it was at its height at its popularity made this game a given for me.
Been playing since day one, this video took me down memory lane
That tagforce soundtrack made me feel some type of way. Miss playing those games all day everyday as a kid lol
This video brought back so many fond memories of my past decade with yugioh before I inevitably moved on to other games franchises. Now, I really see the influences of what I love in current games all stem back to what Yugioh had taught me about card games
Fun not very known fact for everyone about Yugioh Duel Transer for Wii:
It was initially advertised that the game would come with a "Card Scanner" and showed a picture of some sort of external device that scans cards. I vividly remember the advertisement and being so confused when it never came with anything after buying the game. If you look about it online you should be able to find the picture.
Would love to see a remaster of Duelist of the Roses with online PVP or some extra game content with increased difficulty. Game is fantastic but got to be a little too easy once you knew what you were doing.
Dungeon dice monsters and capsule game had so much potential. Same with forbidden memories. So ahead of the times
In 2002, my young brother and I had Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories for the Nintendo Game Boy Color handheld systems, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories for the original PlayStation console system. We played them. It was fun and it was hard at first, but once we learned to it, its was easy.
This was a really interesting video. I liked seeing how Yu-Gi-Oh! games evolved and changed over the years. Reshef of Destruction was my first Yu-Gi-Oh! video game, but it was annoying difficult as well as tedious, which was a shame since I remember liking the storyline. Seeing footage of Nightmare Troubadour and Spirit Caller was so nostalgic for me. I played those games for hours, especially Spirit Caller. Reverse of Arcadia and Over the Nexus were really good too. I wish that they had kept the World Championship series or at least kept making games based on each anime series. It isn't too surprising that they stopped when I'm sure that the games weren't huge hits, but they were fun ways to play the card game and being able to play through the storylines was a lot of fun too. At least there's Duel Links and Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution.
It is actually surprising how suddenly and permanently the specific anime/manga-branded videogames scaled back. They made so stupidly many released for DM and GX, then a few for 5ds and then...well, one or two releases each for Zexal and ArcV, I guess. Then really none for Vrains as far as I can tell. And now strangely one each for Sevens and Go Rush.
I loved the Power of Chaos games as a kid, even though I only got into Yugioh as a whole properly much later. That's why I bought all three for a quick nostalgia trip last year and I had a lot of fun with them, but unfortunately a glitch I couldn't figure out how to fix kept resetting my progress, so I shelved them sooner than I woulda liked to :/
Good list, this brings nostalgia.
There is one game missing, "Yu-Gi-Oh BAM!" it was a game for facebook, that also didn't follow the TCG rules. It can't be played anymore.
Cross Duel plays much differently from the card game and is almost a combination of all alternative dueling styles. It has set movement for monsters like most Yugioh board games, 3 s/t zones and 3 monster zones. It's slower and plays with 4000 LP like Speed Duels, you get to summon your whole hand like Rush Duel, the comparisons go on. The other more recent games are all core parts of the main game, but Cross Duel is going back to the more experimental side of Yugioh.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERS YUGIOH BAM!!! (Nice video though)
I started collecting sealed games awhile back. Haven't bought any in a minute but I have about 20 something sealed games. Some of them are getting pretty rare.
Eternal Duelist Soul was how I learned how to play the game and Nightmare Troubadour on the DS is my favorite
CAN WE PLEASE GET A YUGIOH RPG GAME! As a kid i always wanted a open world game where i can walk around and duel ppl and take there rare card lol
You have already Tag Force, if you mean that you want a Yugioh Rpg without card stuff then I agree with you
@@Exodia_Misogynist bro you saying this like it just came out lol. I play tag force when i was like 12 im 31 now we need a new one
duelist of the roses is goated
Yugioh Duelist of the Roses was my JAM, that whole game could have a sequel as far as I'm concerned, it was awesome.
I have Reshef of Destruction which I haven't bothered to finish yet. As you correctly pointed out it's incredibly grindy and difficult but in all honesty the main reason that this game is so hard is the elemental weaknesses. There have been countless times when I had managed to outsmart the A.I or get lucky with my opening hand just to get my strong monster destroyed later on because "electric beats water, so my 300 atk shitter can destroy your 2.500 atk monster haHaa 🤓"
An expanded Dungeon Dice Monsters would be a great addition to Duel Links or Master Duel, the GBA game is just a bit too easy once you know what you're doing. And use giant soldier of stone to break blocks in some of the later levels.
Wheelie breakers on the wii was amazing
Most of the Yu-Gi-Oh video games are actually quite fun and engaging.
The old series ones prior to The Eternal Duelist Soul actually felt like a card game RPG hybrid with the Solar Alignment/Element system while the games released afterwards were all quite good simulations of the real card game, particularly Worldwide Edition, Ultimate Masters and the Tag Force games.
The biggest issue with the games is that in the case of the cartridge games specifically, they ALL have the nasty habit of erasing themselves after a period of time (even the ones that didn't have save batteries like the Nintendo DS released ones). Emulation fixed this issue, but it's still present and hinders an overall great experience.
I really enjoyed playing Yugioh Online Duel Accelerator. I had a Blackwing & Dragunity deck but unfortunately got hacked and lost everything. This was about 6 months before the entire service shut down, so it was going to be lost long term anyway. The AI challenges were honestly my favourite bit and the main reason I have 150 hours in Legacy of the Duelist
I'm not proud of how much time I've spent in my life on Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters
This was fantastic, but you missed one game that was also on the 3DS, released in Japan only. "Yu-Gi-Oh!: Saikyo Card Battle!" Where this game, Duel Links, and Speed Duels too inspired from a Yu-Gi-Oh! arcade game, "Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Terminal". It also brought back the open world-like story mode.
Whether the game is for everyone or not, Yu-Gi-Oh 5D wheelie breakers is a game that I'm surprised actually was made, it just seems like such a ridiculous and janky concept, but a really really fun one as well.
As someone who was about 9 when it released, yes it was very fun.
I loved watching from beginning to end. You just missed the YGO Duel Monsters Saikyo Card Battle 3DS game.
Duelist of the Roses was my favorite as a kid.
The only Yugioh game I ever owned was Eternal Duelist Soul, a banger obviously, but I had absolutely no idea that Yugioh games that weren't straight up dueling simulators existed (aside from the obvious ones like dungeon dice monsters). Really cool that they experimented with a vast array of variations on the game despite the TCG being very well established. Very in the spirit of Yugioh IMO, it's pretty clear in-universe that duel monsters is played in many different ways.
This was a trip down memory lane. Duelist of the Roses was my first YuGiOh game and it was interesting 😅. Reshef of Destruction was my second and I remember growing so incredibly frustrated with it. But that was mostly becuade I was trying to play it like the traditional card game and that wasn't the case. Dawn of Destiny and Tag Force were the ones I spent the most time playing when I was younger. Thanks for this trip back into my youth.
I loved how a lot of the games felt different and had unique mechanics
Aweseome video delta my favorite yugioh games are eternal duelist soul,duel links,Master duel,tag force games,scarced cards,world championship games.
Very nice!
@@DeltaShinyZeta thanks dude
Great video. I used to love playing eternal duelist and world on my gameboy sp. played hours and hours of it I would sometimes handicap the deck myself just to make things interesting against the characters and the computer that kaiba created lol. Good times!
I loved Eternal Duelist Soul. I still have it downloaded on my computer and play it from time to time.
Power of chaos was the first Yu-Gi-Oh game I ever played, and I couldn’t remember the name! Thank you!
While I usually only liked the games based on the card game, Falsebound Kingdom is actually my favourite as it was so much fun to play.
As nonsensical as Forbidden Memories is I still to this day enjoy playing it. I even enjoy the crappy graphics when the monsters battled.
What a fantastic and educational video! Thank you for your hard work! You've got yourself a new subscriber!
also, I'd like to say I really love 5Ds 2011 WCS it's such a great game but the grind is very real 😫 Hopefully someday I'll be able to experience these PS2 games you listed
Honestly my favs are WC08 and WC11. 11 to me is just the most polished with a story mode that sort of follows the 5Ds story but also deviates just enough to be unique, updated card pool to Starstrike Blast it's great.
08 on the other hand is just fun, it's old school GX era yugioh before synchro summoning, there's tons of decks to try like Zombie, Warrior Toolbox, Gravekeepers all within the first like, 2 worlds. Then later you get access to actual meta level decks at the time like Destiny HERO and Monarchs. Also that final duel is brutal, i had to essentially build a version of D-HERO Monarch, a proper meta deck of the era just to beat it. 5 Straight duels against powerful competent decks with lifepoint retention? Fuck off.
09 was honestly the worst to me. You can synchro summon! 3 monsters, the rest are locked to the postgame. There's a story mode! You're Yusei from 5Ds season 1 with pretty much 0 deviation. And oh dear god that final duel. why yes i would *love* to face Zombies, Ice Barrier, Lightsworn and Tele-DAD all in a row while keeping my lp between duels.
The DS era is underrated
Beating the clones fair and square with essentially that starter deck was an achievement
@@RealRoboKnightlmao the ds era is not underrated, everyone always praises those games
