In trying to get last minute footage, joey self deleted by failing the time wizard coin toss for the first time lmao. EDS and WWE are definitely better than this
Once, while playing Eternal Duelist Soul, Marik used Delinquent Duo (which hurt, since I was using an Exodia deck) and lost because he paid more LP than he had. EDIT: I forgot the best part! I was so confused when it happened, and Marik himself asked in his post-duel monologue, "What just happened?!"
God i love this channel. Not only is this channel a hidden gem, it's hella insightful. You got yourself a permanent viewer at this point. I pray you get nothing but success man, and all your future endeavours with it. PEAK
spirit message N on its own is WORSE than an exodia piece. At least an exodia piece can be summoned or used as tribute fodder. a spirit message can only be used as discard fodder
Fun fact: Tea's Spherous Lady you see at 13:26 is a custom card made real by the original TCG. Its origin was in Dark Duel Stories where in its "combine mode" you could puzzle it together from random top/bottom shards you got after a win. There was enough variety to make *_9800 unique_* cards. You had 2 sets á 70x70 parts. One of them was "Spherous---" and "---Lady" with exactly what you have on the real card today. There were several others like this made real, but this ones the most prominent
I recently saw that a card from dark duel stores is now going to be a real card in the tcg as an illusion type. Which is probably a call back to those games lol
by the looks of it, the ai in this game works like this: if the ai can activate a card, it will activate it, zero strategy, its like a toddler hitting random buttons.
Oh man! This may be your best one yet! Not only are you able to tell where the issues lie, how to improve them, but your ideas for decks to suit the characters is such a fun idea! Thankfully Yugioh hacking has come so far, your suggestions can definitely be made use of by enterprising modders. The use of the anime clips is fantastic and add to the atmosphere of the video. Those little character intros are also a great way to naturally move from duelist to duelist. What a poor showing on Konami's part! I applaud you for soldiering through, I thought dueling 5 times was annoying, but dueling 10 times, and at other times drawing specific cards to unlock whole tiers of duelists? That's ridiculous! At least before it was kind of cute that you had to get Toon World first before Pegasus was available, but when you make that a main gameplay mechanic, then that's pushing it.
Thank you so much for watching! It took me a bit to get this video in order but i really wanted to make a video where instead of only addressing the issues about the game, what are ways they could have made the experience more bearable in one way or another. I do now question how the rest of the WCS games hold up since this one was widely seen as a decent game but as you saw, that is FAR from the case.
@@MrVovoda yeah but it's mostly on the memory i had with the game when I was 12 lol so my opinion can change but I remember that game having interesting decks for the AI at the least
You say you’re not a game designer but there’s no reason to be that humble when IMO you so insightfully exposed all of this game’s overwhelming faults & actually gave extremely knowledgeable solutions that the designers themselves should have fundamentally known & implemented back then, especially considering the various IP resources they no doubt had access to in terms of character archetypes & synergies/strategies. Hell, even if the game employed straight up YGO novices with zero card game design skills, there is no excuse for those absolutely abysmal unlock requirements just as a video game with a roster of characters. Like you alluded to, it’s fundamentally unbelievable that this game had a testing process when any competent tester should have said no damn way to all of those caveats to reach even 50% completion let alone 100%. Like even using the justification that the ~350 duel threshold was for “adding content/replay value for the audience” is BS when that would only be a reasonable stance if the duels were actually varied & fun to engage with. Battling the same duelist 5-10 times means nothing if the player doesn’t actually get a competent & entertaining challenge from ONE duel in the first place. Absolutely terrific review & analysis overall, GB Lad!
The funniest part to me is the fact that I didn't even notice it at first. I was just in a shared screen call with my GF and she pointed that out and i knew i had to write that in lmao! Thanks for pulling up!
"The 60+ card deck with no sleeves and a rubber band holding them" I had a friend who had two 60+ card stacks in his bookbag and he had all of them taken away by our math teacher because they all spilled out when the rubber band snapped and he lost both decks He turned in his homework but teacher played Confiscation on him and took his cards 😂
Man I remember grinding these games SO hard as a child because I loved Yu-Gi-Oh! But the whole time I was bored to death. Love your channel. This is some insanely high grade content. Giving you a sub + twitter follow etc. Keep up the amazing work 😊
I first played Worldwide Edition and it was really fun, than I played World Championship 2004 and it was sloooow, it felt like duels took forever, funny thing is even if you play it on an emulator and speed it up, it would still feel slow
Yo this channel's a hidden gem. Someone playing those awful old games so I don't have to. Are you gonna go through all the handheld games? Cuz 2011 was probably my fav game ever and it'd be cool to see you eventually make it to that shining bastion of Edison-adjacent gameplay with actual mostly-good AI and creative, pretty strong decks.
Took a while and this game doesn't help, but I'm glad to see a video of yours again, my man. This is one of the games I've skipped on the Yu-Gi-Oh GBA catalog and now I'm glad I did.
wow, seeing your perspective made me realized the rng with the starting deck can change how much worse this game could have felt. Coming out the gated with royal decree, summoned skull, cyber-tech alligator, and chunky beatsticks at 1800 and 1900 atk made a BIG difference
1:17:23 Oh man, you're going to hate World Champsionship 2008. Unlocking everything there requires something like 1,000 duels. You need to beat most opponents 5 times and there are like 150 opponents.
2:05 I saw this guy in person when I visited the 2004 event with my dad as a kid. The duel disk got him so much attention from people and the younger folk like me at the time. 😅 Funny thing is I don't ever recall YGO WCT 2004 at all being a thing at the time, everyone was still hyped over Worldwide Edition.
My one good experience with this WC game was the main menu/deckbuilder theme was pretty good, but then after struggling for 10 minutes trying to make a deck and having no idea what to do to unlock more duelists I would just go back to playing anything else in the WC games.
I think the reason Joey doesn't have Exiled Force is because that card pretty much got ignored by the anime. Exiled Force has only showed up twice in the anime and it was in 5Ds. The first was the prison duel where Yusei is dueling against the warden with a deck made up of cards from the other inmates, and the second was some random guy that got possessed by the Dark Signers.
Could be the case in a world where there vision of the game was as far as the anime. I kind of doubt mostly cause of the decks of the higher tier characters
I watch this video like twice a month, I'm so glad I discovered your channel. I'm probably considered a yugiboomer and I love your intelligent insights on the mechanics and especially the themed decked. I can't wait for your next video, take care!
The pack system sounds very bad in this game. Even Eternal Duelist Soul looks so generous in comparison, I managed to build a semi reliable Fusion/Meteor Black Dragon deck there.
Some of the best cards in the game are locked behind packs that only unlock if your win/lose ration against certain duelist is 80%. It's bonkers how under the radar this game is when it comes to bad card game video games
Only had this for my gba as a kid, then this got lost in my closet forever when my mom got me Emerald. Great vid, thank you for going through these old jank games, can't wait for the future of weird old yugioh games.
Well I found another weird exploit in the 2006 edition. If you give the AI a copy of The Agent of Creation - Venus or if they steal this card from your side of the field using Snatch Steal they will endlessly spam it's ability to summon a copy of Mystical Shine Ball for 500 LP until they only have 500 LP or less left. And at that point you can simply take down the AI with a simple burn card like Poison of the Old Man.
@@gameboylad - Perhaps though your ability to win with this strategy is a bit more luck dependent than certain people might like for a deck farming for points to buy other cards or purchase booster packs. Though it's still less luck dependent than exploiting this glitch to burn yourself down to 500 points and then use Reversal Quiz to blow up a set copy of Black Pendent or Fuma Shuriken in order to burn the enemy to death. After all, you can make an entire deck comprised of a single copy of The Agent of Creation - Venus and a bunch of spell cards. So you'll always be able to guess what you'll reveal when you activate Reversal Quiz.
This was the first Yu-Gi-Oh game I ever owned, and I spent SOO much time playing it as a kid. It was so much fun to me back then. Looking back on it, it was simple, but it was exactly what I wanted. Funny thing though, I was so bad at the game, I didn't get past the 5 default trainers till after I played the game as an ADULT. And I had it since it came out. Wish it was still that easy to find things fun.
It may be a bit more difficult to find the fun in things but i think a lot of it has to do with our standards being raised as time goes on. I think a lot of people including me had this as a kid but didn't get to far so we never got to see the game for what it truly is lol
A banger video i occasionaly come back to, also fun fact in this game Maiden Of The Aqua will give the Umi buffs despite the effect text claiming it wont modify the stats. found out about this as i was trying to assemble my water deck.this effectively makes her a 2200+ defense wall at all times.
Really glad I found this channel. Solid content all around and I’m really hoping you get around to my favorite yugioh game, Nightmare Troubadour. GOAT Format at its finest.
Found your channel last night, because this video was recommended. Today while at work, I watched all your videos. I'll be looking forward to all your new videos now
Konami actually had to make some Harpie support have really strong effects just to incentivize players to use Harpie Lady Sisters. Most still don't or keep it to one copy.
They probably should have a retrain for it or make a monster that needs them to summon something from the extra deck. I liked how they made it so you had to use pet dragon with a channeler back then.
Funny thing is, in Rush they completely ditched Sisters and turned Harpies into a maximum monster, each piece of which is also perfectly fine on it's own. Which goes to show how awfully designed Sisters were. Common Rush Duel W.
I think I've watched all of your videos in the last like 3 days and I must say RUclips did something right for once for recommending me your channel. I'm loving this content, I'm learning a lot of these older games I grew up with. you're very funny and that intro goes crazy. Keep up the amazing work bro.
I beat this game like 2-3 times as a kid and really liked it lol. Never realized how grindy it was since you pretty much have unlimited free time when you're younger. It's a long shot from the best yugioh game but I have a lot of fond memories playing it. I still find myself randomly humming the ost all of these years later.
@@gameboylad My personal favorite is stage 6 and stage 1, along with the deck building one. Whoever did the ost on this game did a really good job imo, even if the game itself isn't the best.
Loved the video bro, actually kept me hooked as an older Yugioh player who has fond memories of the older games (Eternal Duelist Soul will forever be my GOAT). Keep it up!
It's always a treat to see these show up in my sub box! Great work on everything so far and super excited to see the next in the series. Appreciate the time and thoroughness you put in to making a quality review. Keep up the great work!
I've been replaying Tag Force 6 and the AI targeting its own cards with MST is always hilarious (until your partner does it, that is), but MST targeting itself?! That's... dude, I can't even.
I want to add that I played a magical thorns deck in this era of Yu GI oh. It's what I used to beat eternal duelist and worldwide addition. And looking at maric's decklist makes me want to cry at how terrible it is at that archetype. You can make a effective deck that proves why a lot of the hand destruction cards are banned. And even some of the not banned he somehow skips out on. Like bruh, just run Robbin' goblin which gives every monster you control the effect of White magical hat, and some monsters that can actually do something rather then that tiny 1000 monster. I never got far enough to fight maric in this particular game because by the time I realized the AI was cheating I was just done and clocked the heck out. I don't think I ever unlocked any of the tier 3 boozos.
As a kid the most disappointing thing about this game was the lack of features and bells and whistles compared to eternal duelist, no character dialog, no calendar system, no events like tournaments, nothing to immerse the player at all. Even the music was lacking despite the Jump in sound quality. I got this game after losing my copy of eternal duelist and it just wasn’t the same
I went through your entire catalogue on this channel. I gotta say, you’re making some excellent stuff here my man. Keep goin’, I’m looking forward to your future content. Can’t wait for Duelists of the Roses.
Hey man just want to let you know that i absolutely love these long videos, i love your style, you can be mad successful on RUclips man and i hope its all up from here. Keep up the fantastic content
so unbelievably torturous... these are games i really wanted to like, but apparently the game just wanted me nailed to a cross at the bottom of the ocean
So, Those +500 ATK attribute Monsters (Bladefly, Witch's Apprentice, Starboy exc) are shockingly good in 04 because the AI does not take their Buffs/Debuffs into account when summoning monsters. Ive seen the AI summon monsters of the opposite attribute in Attack mode thinking they could hit over, only for them to get caught with their pants down as the debuff makes their monster weaker. And Ive seen the opposite, where they will play monsters that would hit over my monsters after the buff get played into defense.
Great video; but when you talked about Ha-des it sparked a memory when I was younger: On the shop I used to play, people often call Dark ruler Ha-des it "The Jinzo killer". Due his 50 extra attack points and been able to just negate flips/searchers, he ruled supreme. Later we joke about Ha-des probably has a drinking problem and the reason he negates monsters effects in battle is because he has a massive hangover and doesn't want to deal with anybody's bs or the monsters cannot stand Ha-des terryble breath.
I still get ptsd of dueling Tea in the opening of the game. I never lost to her, but her life points would consistently hit 10,000-12,000 a game until i got proper removal, i could feel myself aging dueling her.
At some point for sure. For now i want to focus on a few non YGO games to celebrate and give vision to other card games and maybe after come strong with that game since it's a childhood favorite of mines
Surprisingly this was one of two old Yugioh games that I've never played (this & DDT), but oh man does this game seem like the epitome of Gamefaqs with those random requirements... What a banger of a video though.
Great content, really like your style of calling bullshit design for what it is instead of trying to sugercoat it. But watching your videos showed me how lucky i was back then, playing Wwe but skipping this one, then Sacred Cards (at least it was beatable as a kid) and skipping Reshef. Looking forward to more videos :)
10:20 I wish I had some proof for this. People always say that I'm lying when I say that this game has rigged luck cards like Fairy Box. Also, thanks for actually playing this game. I'm convinced that most of the RUclips reviews for these games never actually beat them.
@@gameboylad oh I dont know, we have yugioh, very broken yugioh, but still yugioh none the less in this game XD. That alone puts it a step above some of the shovelware from the system, wouldnt wish that on my enemies!
There's a bug i discovered on my own where you can run a 14 card exodia deck by making a unlimited deck (you unlock unlimited by getting all the cards) Then you go in the options and turn limits back on. This will automatically remove all copies of cards you can't have in your deck. This means 3 copies of each exodia become 1 and so on. The game doesn't force you to fix your deck however due to being under 40 cards So the deck would become 5 exodia, pot of greed, graceful, painful choice, dark hole, sangan, witch, monster reborn, upstart, premature. Basically you could win first turn if you could summon a sangan reborn a witch and dark hole them both with 3 pieces of exodia in hand.
Hey bud amazing vid!!! btw at 40:41: If you're still going to play these older games in order (2005, 2006, 2007 etc). Don't sleep on the Dark Scorpions for the early/mid or even late game!. Cause besides Don (who is the goat) all of them are good/solid! (except Gorg he sucks lmao) here's the reasoning: -Cliff (Recommend running X2) its insane in all the video games since he just destroys a S/T FOR FREE everytime he makes them take dmg (either by attacking directly or if he's equiped/buffed by a field spell) this is specially useful in the games which have the S/T removals banned/limited and Dust Tornado is hard to come by. -Chick The Yellow (Recommend running x1) can manage to lock them up forever like a "Yata" style effect since YOU choose what they will draw next turn EACH turn and if the AI its not cheating like this game you can put their insane cards at the bottom of the deck before they draw them. And if you're running those two and want a +1 advantage engine: -Meanae (Recommend running x2/x3) is a 1800 DEF "defensive beastick :P" who *you just set, they summon a dude, attack to her, get damaged and bam!* you can add another Meanae/Cliff or Chick FOR FREE, and if you summon a 1900/1800 beastick the next turn and kill their monster then attack with Menae you add another free card turning her into a fucking +2!. Also if a duel goes long and you don't have more of them in your deck to search her second effect is just Monster Reincarnation for free on them. Pair them with Sakuretsu Armor/Widespread Ruin/Waboku/Malevolent Nuzzler/Equip Spells and they are insane!, without those cards they are solid/good too!. Just an tip on them, they seem like garbaggio/have a bad rep but in the video games they are really solid!, try them out to see for yourself!, thanks for coming to my ted talk lmao, keep these great vids cominggg
Didn't give a voice for Grandpa's cut-in, 0/10 I'm just kidding, this was super informative! Found this channel while on a Yu-Gi-Oh binge since I'm trying to get back into the game- you've got some god-tier comedic timing!
What I find dumber about Harpie Lady Sisters is Konami seemingly trying to push us to use it with recent Harpie support, instead of making a better retrain of it.
Cannot relate to anyone being in favor of the OST. I feel pain from being reminded of the song played together with the light blue backgrounds. WWE's music slaps and it's a big reason why I prefer it over this.
I like the OST in WWE over 2004 but a lot but the music in this game is decent enough for me to keep it in the video at least. Sacred cards I left out a majority of that games OST lmao
@@gameboylad Oh, I didn't mean to critisize your video editing. Putting the corresponding music is absolutely fitting, even if I associate bad memories with it. No need to worry man, your videos are well made. And to be fair, WC2004 OST does have some earworm qualities to it.
I remember buying this game when it was new because I was expecting something on par with Eternal Duelist Soul or World Wide Edition. I traded it in not even a few months later.
one small ruling correction regarding goblin attack force. it;s effect does not activate on it's attack declaration, but rather at tthe end of the battle phase itself
bro you had dying 💀 damn I did not think the game was THIS bad. great vid as always tho man, it was pretty cool seeing your decks you made for the duelists. it's always a comfortable experience watching your vids in my spare time lol
Yeah this time around I wanted to see if I could show some solutions to the problem instead of just complaining about it lol it's easy to talk the talk but when you can walk the walk, it drives the point further
Once you beat an opponent ten times, the requirement of having a card in the trunk but not the deck goes away. For example, once you beat Mai ten times you can duel her with Harpie's Feather Duster in your deck.
26:04 "If I miss the toin coss-" Day ruined, I can't believe this. Fr tho good video, this was the only yugioh game I had for a long time, never unlocked everything.
i hate this old game design where you have to battle the same guys over and over to progress. it should go like this: you duel one guy until you win once, you unlock the next guy and if you can beat the next guy, you unlock the guy after that and so on, giving you the option to battle the same guy to unlock more cards if your deck isnt good enough yet, but isnt forcing you to battle every guy 10 times+, thats just boring. the pokemon tcg game did this really well actually, just like i said, if you can beat everyone with shitty cards, you can keep going, also this makes it so you can win duels with skill alone and dont have to rely on op cards to win, thats boring, games like these are most fun if you have to work with what you got, thats the challenge of it.
This was real nice to watch. I've been going through some of the ds games and really enjoying them. Genuinely impressed with the consistent editing through a VERY long video lol
I didn't realize how strenuous it can be to edit long form videos until I started to make them myself 😂 as long as it was worth the effort, I am satisfied
Awesome video! I once tested this bugged 'Luck' Stat that the AI has. I was once facing Yugi Moto and began to have the upper hand, Entered Main Phase 2, Used Acient Telescope and saw his next monster was a terrible normal monster, and somehow with no cards in hand, he draws his only copy of Raigeki to clear my board. In summary the AI gets a solution to anything you throw at them anytime you start to get the upperhand, It becomes even more evident with Duelist who have a high luck stat. Super infuriating and not very engaging.
I remember this game.i remember my dumb kid self never unlocked the Second tier Duelist because I was 2 scared to duel Yugi and grandpa because I thought they were to good.i also rememberd I loved the Rituals so much I basically shoved them all in the deck and somehow was win against the ai even tho my deck was mega ass
Another banger of a video Already hyped for the next one And loved the idea of remaking the decks to actually fit the theme. Also saw you using Duelingbook..........so duelingbook stream nights???????
Thank you for watching! Felt the need to at least shown solutions to the problems and not just complain about the problem. And nah. I have not dueled in the modern format since masterduel and I didn't like what I had to do to get to plat 1 when that was the highest rank lol. ( I played tri brigade and locked boards with apex avian and barrier statue with practically a full hand lmao what a game )
You make great videos, watched all of them including the Pokemon one all in one night. Subbed and as long you keep your quality on par I'll watch every future upload as well. Do feel that you can branch out from YGO once you get done with it as a project or heck need a break from it as a project. I would love to see you talk about Pokemon TCG video game progress and personal meta through the journey the same way you been doing with YGO. Though I'm sure you are getting drained from card games in general at this point.
I would never get tired from talking about card games lol. Yugioh maybe but that's why I want to space out my ygo vids with other card games in between
In North America, the promotional cards were Fairy King Truesdale, Kinetic Soldier, (actually Cipher Soldier) and Slate Warrior. In Japan, they were Emes The Infinity, D.D. Assailant, and Twinheaded Beast. In Spain, they were Exchange, Graceful Dice, and Skull Dice. Everywhere else, (France, Europe, Germany, and Italy) they were Valkyrion The Magna Warrior, Sinister Serpent, and Harpie's Feather Duster.
Ah yes, Garoozis, my favorite Arkana card. Arkana must secretly be a Joey fan in the game Triple snatch but AI not playing them is hilarious, maybe the AI was self aware and knows how bullshit triple Snatch would be.
7 Trials To Glory much better. The post game is much more challenging being the mystic land and Mariks crew can be tough. Marik can summon Black Luster Soldier and Chaos Emperor Dragon too. The final dark tournament is hard because LP carries on the same after each opponents. However you have a great variety of deck building at your disposal. I beat the last tournament with Exodia.
Yeah I remember you saying that you might give the game a look and I hope the video convinced you not to waste your time with 2004 lmao. At this rate you can only hope your favorite developers don't fall into the yearly release trap.
ah yes, I remember this game! I was 14/15 years old when my parents gifted me. It was 2010, I didn't have internet and computers: so I didn't know for unlock characters and I arrived to Kaiba after 6 years 😅
Bakura isn't even the Duelist that's supposed to use Maha Vailo and Equip Magic...those are Yugi's! And how come the black guy has the N but the duelist that uses it doesn't have any of it?
This game does a poor job at giving the right cards to the right characters. The decks in this game are baffling and make me wonder if the staff working on the game even understood what YGO was lmao
@@gameboylad by comparison the staff who made Pokemon Colosseum and Gale of Darkness absolutely understood what Pokemon was. The games were so challenging than the bs they come up with nowadays but are balanced. Game Freak made main series games, but someone else made those two.
@@vanesslifeygo I recently came back from japan and bought JP copies of those 2 games. I really enjoyed XD and I wish Gamefreak would experiment more with spin offs like that. I guess legends of arceus was a nice step in the direction.
I swiped this game from my school's lost and found as a kid and even then it was too expensive. Believe it or not, I even tried to ask around who lost the game and my school was not very big so there were not many classes to ask around for, but no one came forth about losing. In hindsight this game might have gotten "lost" on purpose and I was just the sucker who "found" it
Damn I was hoping this was the game I thought it was and I was right. I played this when I was super young and I had no idea how to actually do the deck building. This was my first exposure to actually playing Yu-Gi-Oh and not just watching it. Luckily I played some of the synchro era ones later which are MUCH better.
I've had the AI do moves that removed their life points until they lost several times in 2004 and knew instantly Eternal Duelist Soul was superior.
In trying to get last minute footage, joey self deleted by failing the time wizard coin toss for the first time lmao. EDS and WWE are definitely better than this
Do the AI use LP recovery cards when Bad Reaction to Simochi is in play? That would sound like something the AI would do to me.
@@michaelhall736 I wouldn't be surprised if they do 💀
Eternal Duelist Soul is way better even than 05 WCS. I just had Joey use Ring of Destruction to deal 2500 to himself while he had 1500 and I had 8000.
@thadjarvis9514 when the AI is done but it won't let it scoop
Once, while playing Eternal Duelist Soul, Marik used Delinquent Duo (which hurt, since I was using an Exodia deck) and lost because he paid more LP than he had.
EDIT: I forgot the best part! I was so confused when it happened, and Marik himself asked in his post-duel monologue, "What just happened?!"

If you think the ai is dumb in this game,wait until you play legacy of the duelist evolution.
As someone who's first YGO game was DDD and liked that feature, I find this incredibly cool
@@chucklittle The AI is so dumb, it literally cheats to beat you
The worst part about this game is just how long you have to have a bad deck for and how many wins are required to unlock more duelists.
Playing this game with normal speed is a crime
@@gameboylad Congrats for finishing it. I gave up when I was facing Weevil tier.
by the looks of it, the ai in this game works like this: if the ai can activate a card, it will activate it, zero strategy, its like a toddler hitting random buttons.

Not only are you able to tell where the issues lie, how to improve them, but your ideas for decks to suit the characters is such a fun idea! Thankfully Yugioh hacking has come so far, your suggestions can definitely be made use of by enterprising modders.

Like even using the justification that the ~350 duel threshold was for “adding content/replay value for the audience” is BS when that would only be a reasonable stance if the duels were actually varied & fun to engage with. Battling the same duelist 5-10 times means nothing if the player doesn’t actually get a competent & entertaining challenge from ONE duel in the first place. Absolutely terrific review & analysis overall, GB Lad!
this game really out here with no hesitation giving away that destiny board n word pass
The funniest part to me is the fact that I didn't even notice it at first. I was just in a shared screen call with my GF and she pointed that out and i knew i had to write that in lmao! Thanks for pulling up!
"The 60+ card deck with no sleeves and a rubber band holding them"
I had a friend who had two 60+ card stacks in his bookbag and he had all of them taken away by our math teacher because they all spilled out when the rubber band snapped and he lost both decks
He turned in his homework but teacher played Confiscation on him and took his cards 😂
I hated the era of teachers taking your stuff and not giving it back until the parents came
Man I remember grinding these games SO hard as a child because I loved Yu-Gi-Oh! But the whole time I was bored to death. Love your channel. This is some insanely high grade content. Giving you a sub + twitter follow etc. Keep up the amazing work 😊
I first played Worldwide Edition and it was really fun, than I played World Championship 2004 and it was sloooow, it felt like duels took forever, funny thing is even if you play it on an emulator and speed it up, it would still feel slow
Yo this channel's a hidden gem. Someone playing those awful old games so I don't have to. Are you gonna go through all the handheld games? Cuz 2011 was probably my fav game ever and it'd be cool to see you eventually make it to that shining bastion of Edison-adjacent gameplay with actual mostly-good AI and creative, pretty strong decks.
I plan to get through most of any card game related games. It just happens to be ygo for now lol. I'll definitely get around to the DS games for sure
Took a while and this game doesn't help, but I'm glad to see a video of yours again, my man. This is one of the games I've skipped on the Yu-Gi-Oh GBA catalog and now I'm glad I did.
Yeah this game pushed my schedule back by A LOT. Thanks for pulling up!
wow, seeing your perspective made me realized the rng with the starting deck can change how much worse this game could have felt.
Coming out the gated with royal decree, summoned skull, cyber-tech alligator, and chunky beatsticks at 1800 and 1900 atk made a BIG difference
1:17:23 Oh man, you're going to hate World Champsionship 2008. Unlocking everything there requires something like 1,000 duels. You need to beat most opponents 5 times and there are like 150 opponents.
Oh yuck lmaoooo
2:05 I saw this guy in person when I visited the 2004 event with my dad as a kid. The duel disk got him so much attention from people and the younger folk like me at the time. 😅
Funny thing is I don't ever recall YGO WCT 2004 at all being a thing at the time, everyone was still hyped over Worldwide Edition.
These are the only YGO retrospectives that make me die laughing. I hope you cover some of the tag force games in the future
Yup I'll be getting to them soon!
My one good experience with this WC game was the main menu/deckbuilder theme was pretty good, but then after struggling for 10 minutes trying to make a deck and having no idea what to do to unlock more duelists I would just go back to playing anything else in the WC games.
I think the reason Joey doesn't have Exiled Force is because that card pretty much got ignored by the anime. Exiled Force has only showed up twice in the anime and it was in 5Ds. The first was the prison duel where Yusei is dueling against the warden with a deck made up of cards from the other inmates, and the second was some random guy that got possessed by the Dark Signers.
Could be the case in a world where there vision of the game was as far as the anime. I kind of doubt mostly cause of the decks of the higher tier characters
I watch this video like twice a month, I'm so glad I discovered your channel. I'm probably considered a yugiboomer and I love your intelligent insights on the mechanics and especially the themed decked. I can't wait for your next video, take care!
That means a lot to me! I'll be trying to get my next 2 videos out asap!
Really tickles my Yugiboomer brain as well. Hopefully we'll get more - the Forbidden Memories 2 romhack or Falsebound Kingdom would be cool to see.
The pack system sounds very bad in this game. Even Eternal Duelist Soul looks so generous in comparison, I managed to build a semi reliable Fusion/Meteor Black Dragon deck there.
Some of the best cards in the game are locked behind packs that only unlock if your win/lose ration against certain duelist is 80%. It's bonkers how under the radar this game is when it comes to bad card game video games
Eternal Duelist Soul is one step ahead of its time, really cool game with pretty fun replayability
Only had this for my gba as a kid, then this got lost in my closet forever when my mom got me Emerald.
Great vid, thank you for going through these old jank games, can't wait for the future of weird old yugioh games.
Thank you for watching! You're lucky it got lost as soon as you got a good game lmao
Well I found another weird exploit in the 2006 edition. If you give the AI a copy of The Agent of Creation - Venus or if they steal this card from your side of the field using Snatch Steal they will endlessly spam it's ability to summon a copy of Mystical Shine Ball for 500 LP until they only have 500 LP or less left. And at that point you can simply take down the AI with a simple burn card like Poison of the Old Man.
That is hilarious and probably could be exploited to farm maybe?
@@gameboylad - Perhaps though your ability to win with this strategy is a bit more luck dependent than certain people might like for a deck farming for points to buy other cards or purchase booster packs.
Though it's still less luck dependent than exploiting this glitch to burn yourself down to 500 points and then use Reversal Quiz to blow up a set copy of Black Pendent or Fuma Shuriken in order to burn the enemy to death. After all, you can make an entire deck comprised of a single copy of The Agent of Creation - Venus and a bunch of spell cards. So you'll always be able to guess what you'll reveal when you activate Reversal Quiz.
This was the first Yu-Gi-Oh game I ever owned, and I spent SOO much time playing it as a kid. It was so much fun to me back then. Looking back on it, it was simple, but it was exactly what I wanted.
Funny thing though, I was so bad at the game, I didn't get past the 5 default trainers till after I played the game as an ADULT. And I had it since it came out. Wish it was still that easy to find things fun.
It may be a bit more difficult to find the fun in things but i think a lot of it has to do with our standards being raised as time goes on. I think a lot of people including me had this as a kid but didn't get to far so we never got to see the game for what it truly is lol
A banger video i occasionaly come back to, also fun fact in this game Maiden Of The Aqua will give the Umi buffs despite the effect text claiming it wont modify the stats. found out about this as i was trying to assemble my water deck.this effectively makes her a 2200+ defense wall at all times.
Getting randomly hit with that Goblin Attack Force had me dying. Great video.
Really glad I found this channel. Solid content all around and I’m really hoping you get around to my favorite yugioh game, Nightmare Troubadour. GOAT Format at its finest.
Found your channel last night, because this video was recommended. Today while at work, I watched all your videos. I'll be looking forward to all your new videos now
1:40 is something I never expected to hear in a Yu-gi-oh video game review
LMAO true though. To be fair at the time there was only 3 games that followed the rules well versus the 10 plus that didn't
The fact that you compared Dark Duel Stories favorably to this should say it all
The more of these I play the more I realize DDS wasn't that bad compared to some of these lmao. It's still bad but nowhere near as bad as this game.
Konami actually had to make some Harpie support have really strong effects just to incentivize players to use Harpie Lady Sisters.
Most still don't or keep it to one copy.
They probably should have a retrain for it or make a monster that needs them to summon something from the extra deck. I liked how they made it so you had to use pet dragon with a channeler back then.
Funny thing is, in Rush they completely ditched Sisters and turned Harpies into a maximum monster, each piece of which is also perfectly fine on it's own. Which goes to show how awfully designed Sisters were. Common Rush Duel W.
I think I've watched all of your videos in the last like 3 days and I must say RUclips did something right for once for recommending me your channel. I'm loving this content, I'm learning a lot of these older games I grew up with. you're very funny and that intro goes crazy. Keep up the amazing work bro.
I beat this game like 2-3 times as a kid and really liked it lol. Never realized how grindy it was since you pretty much have unlimited free time when you're younger. It's a long shot from the best yugioh game but I have a lot of fond memories playing it. I still find myself randomly humming the ost all of these years later.
The OST is so powerful. Stage 5 always lands in my head somehow
@@gameboylad My personal favorite is stage 6 and stage 1, along with the deck building one. Whoever did the ost on this game did a really good job imo, even if the game itself isn't the best.
Loved the video bro, actually kept me hooked as an older Yugioh player who has fond memories of the older games (Eternal Duelist Soul will forever be my GOAT). Keep it up!
It's always a treat to see these show up in my sub box! Great work on everything so far and super excited to see the next in the series. Appreciate the time and thoroughness you put in to making a quality review. Keep up the great work!
I'm always happy to please the viewers! Thank you so much for watching!
Great videos man! I've watched each one at least three-four times, waiting on the next one! Hope you do any of the Tag Force games :)
I always wanted to try out tag force as a kid so I'm looking forward to it
I've been replaying Tag Force 6 and the AI targeting its own cards with MST is always hilarious (until your partner does it, that is), but MST targeting itself?! That's... dude, I can't even.
I want to add that I played a magical thorns deck in this era of Yu GI oh. It's what I used to beat eternal duelist and worldwide addition.
And looking at maric's decklist makes me want to cry at how terrible it is at that archetype. You can make a effective deck that proves why a lot of the hand destruction cards are banned. And even some of the not banned he somehow skips out on.
Like bruh, just run Robbin' goblin which gives every monster you control the effect of White magical hat, and some monsters that can actually do something rather then that tiny 1000 monster.
I never got far enough to fight maric in this particular game because by the time I realized the AI was cheating I was just done and clocked the heck out.
I don't think I ever unlocked any of the tier 3 boozos.
As a kid the most disappointing thing about this game was the lack of features and bells and whistles compared to eternal duelist, no character dialog, no calendar system, no events like tournaments, nothing to immerse the player at all. Even the music was lacking despite the Jump in sound quality. I got this game after losing my copy of eternal duelist and it just wasn’t the same
This game is completely soulless and I'm surprised that most people had a positive outlook on this game in the past
I went through your entire catalogue on this channel. I gotta say, you’re making some excellent stuff here my man.
Keep goin’, I’m looking forward to your future content. Can’t wait for Duelists of the Roses.
Hey man just want to let you know that i absolutely love these long videos, i love your style, you can be mad successful on RUclips man and i hope its all up from here. Keep up the fantastic content
so unbelievably torturous... these are games i really wanted to like, but apparently the game just wanted me nailed to a cross at the bottom of the ocean
🤣🤣🤣
So, Those +500 ATK attribute Monsters (Bladefly, Witch's Apprentice, Starboy exc) are shockingly good in 04 because the AI does not take their Buffs/Debuffs into account when summoning monsters.
Ive seen the AI summon monsters of the opposite attribute in Attack mode thinking they could hit over, only for them to get caught with their pants down as the debuff makes their monster weaker. And Ive seen the opposite, where they will play monsters that would hit over my monsters after the buff get played into defense.
I remember playing this. Grandpa has two different decks he can start with, one of them giving him multiple of each piece of exodia.
Great video; but when you talked about Ha-des it sparked a memory when I was younger:
On the shop I used to play, people often call Dark ruler Ha-des it "The Jinzo killer". Due his 50 extra attack points and been able to just negate flips/searchers, he ruled supreme.
Later we joke about Ha-des probably has a drinking problem and the reason he negates monsters effects in battle is because he has a massive hangover and doesn't want to deal with anybody's bs or the monsters cannot stand Ha-des terryble breath.
He's a pretty niche tech pick in goat. Feels good to negate sangan at pivotal times
I still get ptsd of dueling Tea in the opening of the game.
I never lost to her, but her life points would consistently hit 10,000-12,000 a game until i got proper removal, i could feel myself aging dueling her.
jesus tell me about it lmao. seeing solemn wishes made me want to put the game to rest
Awesome vid bro, Nightmare Troubadour next? Definitely an under appreciated title
At some point for sure. For now i want to focus on a few non YGO games to celebrate and give vision to other card games and maybe after come strong with that game since it's a childhood favorite of mines
Surprisingly this was one of two old Yugioh games that I've never played (this & DDT), but oh man does this game seem like the epitome of Gamefaqs with those random requirements... What a banger of a video though.
I refuse to believe many people got far in this game in 2003/04 without the internet lul
@@gameboylad I did back in 2005!
Great content, really like your style of calling bullshit design for what it is instead of trying to sugercoat it. But watching your videos showed me how lucky i was back then, playing Wwe but skipping this one, then Sacred Cards (at least it was beatable as a kid) and skipping Reshef. Looking forward to more videos :)
Your angel was looking out for you 😭
26:03 I laughed when you said “toin coss “ instead of coin toss😂
The recording was an hour and a half long 💀 sometimes I just gotta roll with the mistakes and keep it pushin 😂
10:20 I wish I had some proof for this. People always say that I'm lying when I say that this game has rigged luck cards like Fairy Box.
Also, thanks for actually playing this game. I'm convinced that most of the RUclips reviews for these games never actually beat them.
This is arguably the worst of the GBA games
Not only is it probably the worst ygo game but one of the worst GBA games on the console honestly
@@gameboylad oh I dont know, we have yugioh, very broken yugioh, but still yugioh none the less in this game XD. That alone puts it a step above some of the shovelware from the system, wouldnt wish that on my enemies!
@@Elliasal I put it right above shovel ware. I can barely say the game works because of the amount of times I seen the AI just farts on itself lol
There's a bug i discovered on my own where you can run a 14 card exodia deck by making a unlimited deck (you unlock unlimited by getting all the cards)
Then you go in the options and turn limits back on. This will automatically remove all copies of cards you can't have in your deck. This means 3 copies of each exodia become 1 and so on.
The game doesn't force you to fix your deck however due to being under 40 cards
So the deck would become 5 exodia, pot of greed, graceful, painful choice, dark hole, sangan, witch, monster reborn, upstart, premature.
Basically you could win first turn if you could summon a sangan reborn a witch and dark hole them both with 3 pieces of exodia in hand.
This probably be the fastest way to grind for the cards you need without using a cheat device 🤔
Hey bud amazing vid!!! btw at 40:41: If you're still going to play these older games in order (2005, 2006, 2007 etc). Don't sleep on the Dark Scorpions for the early/mid or even late game!. Cause besides Don (who is the goat) all of them are good/solid! (except Gorg he sucks lmao) here's the reasoning:
-Cliff (Recommend running X2) its insane in all the video games since he just destroys a S/T FOR FREE everytime he makes them take dmg (either by attacking directly or if he's equiped/buffed by a field spell) this is specially useful in the games which have the S/T removals banned/limited and Dust Tornado is hard to come by.
-Chick The Yellow (Recommend running x1) can manage to lock them up forever like a "Yata" style effect since YOU choose what they will draw next turn EACH turn and if the AI its not cheating like this game you can put their insane cards at the bottom of the deck before they draw them.
And if you're running those two and want a +1 advantage engine:
-Meanae (Recommend running x2/x3) is a 1800 DEF "defensive beastick :P" who *you just set, they summon a dude, attack to her, get damaged and bam!* you can add another Meanae/Cliff or Chick FOR FREE, and if you summon a 1900/1800 beastick the next turn and kill their monster then attack with Menae you add another free card turning her into a fucking +2!.
Also if a duel goes long and you don't have more of them in your deck to search her second effect is just Monster Reincarnation for free on them.
Pair them with Sakuretsu Armor/Widespread Ruin/Waboku/Malevolent Nuzzler/Equip Spells and they are insane!, without those cards they are solid/good too!.
Just an tip on them, they seem like garbaggio/have a bad rep but in the video games they are really solid!, try them out to see for yourself!, thanks for coming to my ted talk lmao, keep these great vids cominggg
Maybe i'll try it as a challenge run one of these days lol
Didn't give a voice for Grandpa's cut-in, 0/10
I'm just kidding, this was super informative! Found this channel while on a Yu-Gi-Oh binge since I'm trying to get back into the game- you've got some god-tier comedic timing!
Thank you! hopefully I can get another video out soon!
What I find dumber about Harpie Lady Sisters is Konami seemingly trying to push us to use it with recent Harpie support, instead of making a better retrain of it.
It's such a shame the original harpie sisters is so bad lmao
Cannot relate to anyone being in favor of the OST.
I feel pain from being reminded of the song played together with the light blue backgrounds.
WWE's music slaps and it's a big reason why I prefer it over this.
I like the OST in WWE over 2004 but a lot but the music in this game is decent enough for me to keep it in the video at least. Sacred cards I left out a majority of that games OST lmao
@@gameboylad Oh, I didn't mean to critisize your video editing.
Putting the corresponding music is absolutely fitting, even if I associate bad memories with it.
No need to worry man, your videos are well made.
And to be fair, WC2004 OST does have some earworm qualities to it.
@@voidmxl8473 oh lol don't worry I didn't take it as an offense at all lmao. It be like that on the interwebs sometimes
I remember buying this game when it was new because I was expecting something on par with Eternal Duelist Soul or World Wide Edition. I traded it in not even a few months later.
But Eternal Duelist Soul is basically the same as this one...
one small ruling correction regarding goblin attack force. it;s effect does not activate on it's attack declaration, but rather at tthe end of the battle phase itself
Good video I could feel your pain hope next video isn’t a slow mess lol
Im putting a lot of stock into capsule colosseum being a decent game lmao
I couldn’t play this as a kid or now I tried for like three days barely finish tier 1
Never played that one but heard good things
Booty goblins popped me! Great video man!
I wondered why teenage me sold this game out of the blue years and years ago but not any of my other yugioh games, now I recall why
teenage you was ahead of the curb!
bro you had dying 💀 damn I did not think the game was THIS bad. great vid as always tho man, it was pretty cool seeing your decks you made for the duelists. it's always a comfortable experience watching your vids in my spare time lol
Yeah this time around I wanted to see if I could show some solutions to the problem instead of just complaining about it lol it's easy to talk the talk but when you can walk the walk, it drives the point further
@@gameboylad Fs I get you man, and I think it payed off honestly. Great vid man 💯
I love that you spent time suggesting optimal decks for the npc
yeah it's one thing to complain about the problem. I think it helps when you can show solutions to the problem
I got a little confused at 33:22, I was like “Bakura is a wrestler” (it was late, I was tired)
can't wait for you to review 2009. It was a true-to-form edison format sim, with an option to use 1 forbidden card in your deck late-game as well.
Once you beat an opponent ten times, the requirement of having a card in the trunk but not the deck goes away. For example, once you beat Mai ten times you can duel her with Harpie's Feather Duster in your deck.
Yup, I can't remember if I mentioned it in the vid but I will say idk if it's worth dueling them past that point lol
26:04 "If I miss the toin coss-"
Day ruined, I can't believe this.
Fr tho good video, this was the only yugioh game I had for a long time, never unlocked everything.
i hate this old game design where you have to battle the same guys over and over to progress. it should go like this: you duel one guy until you win once, you unlock the next guy and if you can beat the next guy, you unlock the guy after that and so on, giving you the option to battle the same guy to unlock more cards if your deck isnt good enough yet, but isnt forcing you to battle every guy 10 times+, thats just boring. the pokemon tcg game did this really well actually, just like i said, if you can beat everyone with shitty cards, you can keep going, also this makes it so you can win duels with skill alone and dont have to rely on op cards to win, thats boring, games like these are most fun if you have to work with what you got, thats the challenge of it.
Been looking forward to this. Delivering on a workday as well. Thank you sir.
No problem! Hope you Enjoy the video! 🐈
Man thank you for enduring this game to make a vid because I'd never play it, major respect.
Great video again my man. Mad entertaining. 😁 Making your own decks for the characters was a dope touch too. P.S. That Kim Possible edit had me 💀 😂
Thanks for coming through again! I try my best to keep the people happy
This was real nice to watch. I've been going through some of the ds games and really enjoying them. Genuinely impressed with the consistent editing through a VERY long video lol
I didn't realize how strenuous it can be to edit long form videos until I started to make them myself 😂 as long as it was worth the effort, I am satisfied
@@gameboylad it definitely kept me engaged, that's for sure lol. Really nice job
Bro the Rex Raptor cut in and audio killed me 😂 that was good
💀💀💀 I religiously quote Arnold
Wake up, babe, new Gameboylad just dropped
Every time I click on one of these videos it’s because the thumbnail looks like Anthony Mackie
I was actually downloading the GBA Yu-Gi-Oh games, and you just saved me from getting this one XD
This one is not even funny bad, it's the worst kind of bad. Boring and bad. Your dodging the bullet for sure
Okay, this is video #3 of yours I've watched today and I just splerged on $100 of YuGiOh cards. Konami pls sponsor this man
IDK if konami will ever sponsor me but it would be nice to have a sponsor in general lol
Awesome video! I once tested this bugged 'Luck' Stat that the AI has. I was once facing Yugi Moto and began to have the upper hand, Entered Main Phase 2, Used Acient Telescope and saw his next monster was a terrible normal monster, and somehow with no cards in hand, he draws his only copy of Raigeki to clear my board.
In summary the AI gets a solution to anything you throw at them anytime you start to get the upperhand, It becomes even more evident with Duelist who have a high luck stat. Super infuriating and not very engaging.
Omg it cheats like FM lmao 😭 thank you for confirming!
I remember this game.i remember my dumb kid self never unlocked the Second tier Duelist because I was 2 scared to duel Yugi and grandpa because I thought they were to good.i also rememberd I loved the Rituals so much I basically shoved them all in the deck and somehow was win against the ai even tho my deck was mega ass
Another banger of a video
Already hyped for the next one
And loved the idea of remaking the decks to actually fit the theme.
Also saw you using Duelingbook..........so duelingbook stream nights???????
Thank you for watching! Felt the need to at least shown solutions to the problems and not just complain about the problem.
And nah. I have not dueled in the modern format since masterduel and I didn't like what I had to do to get to plat 1 when that was the highest rank lol. ( I played tri brigade and locked boards with apex avian and barrier statue with practically a full hand lmao what a game )
@Gameboylad
I gotcha man
Modern can be really bad and I play competitive all the time.
You make great videos, watched all of them including the Pokemon one all in one night. Subbed and as long you keep your quality on par I'll watch every future upload as well. Do feel that you can branch out from YGO once you get done with it as a project or heck need a break from it as a project. I would love to see you talk about Pokemon TCG video game progress and personal meta through the journey the same way you been doing with YGO. Though I'm sure you are getting drained from card games in general at this point.
I would never get tired from talking about card games lol. Yugioh maybe but that's why I want to space out my ygo vids with other card games in between
In North America, the promotional cards were Fairy King Truesdale, Kinetic Soldier, (actually Cipher Soldier) and Slate Warrior. In Japan, they were Emes The Infinity, D.D. Assailant, and Twinheaded Beast. In Spain, they were Exchange, Graceful Dice, and Skull Dice. Everywhere else, (France, Europe, Germany, and Italy) they were Valkyrion The Magna Warrior, Sinister Serpent, and Harpie's Feather Duster.
I definitely want to make a compilation of promotional cards we got throughout the life of the game
Ah yes, Garoozis, my favorite Arkana card.
Arkana must secretly be a Joey fan in the game
Triple snatch but AI not playing them is hilarious, maybe the AI was self aware and knows how bullshit triple Snatch would be.
7 Trials To Glory much better. The post game is much more challenging being the mystic land and Mariks crew can be tough. Marik can summon Black Luster Soldier and Chaos Emperor Dragon too. The final dark tournament is hard because LP carries on the same after each opponents. However you have a great variety of deck building at your disposal. I beat the last tournament with Exodia.
I usually hear the game has a lot of bugs with it but i never hear how people feel about the game. I might cover it soon over my flight overseas
Very good editing! Can't wait to see more!
More to come soon!
Thank you for bringing me content I didn't know I needed in my life. Respect
Just found your chanel and it's an instant hit of nostalgia. Looking forward to more videos.
Yo this really good and informative love the edits by the way 👌
I love your pfp lmao 😭
@@gameboylad thanks thanks 😂
I'd heard some bad things about 2004 but DAMN. Yearly releases might not be the best plan...hope companies today knew that...
Yeah I remember you saying that you might give the game a look and I hope the video convinced you not to waste your time with 2004 lmao. At this rate you can only hope your favorite developers don't fall into the yearly release trap.
Really looking forward to your review of 7 Trials!
ah yes, I remember this game! I was 14/15 years old when my parents gifted me.
It was 2010, I didn't have internet and computers: so I didn't know for unlock characters and I arrived to Kaiba after 6 years 😅
Finally been waiting 👏 your vids are amazing
Always eager to watch them
Thank you! always a pleasure to get these out for yall
Nice video! Please continue with your amazing work! Hope someday you bring your forbidden memories experience for us
Thanks! I will for sure but it's one of the bigger videos I have in mind so it'll be a while before I tackle it
Bakura isn't even the Duelist that's supposed to use Maha Vailo and Equip Magic...those are Yugi's!
And how come the black guy has the N but the duelist that uses it doesn't have any of it?
This game does a poor job at giving the right cards to the right characters. The decks in this game are baffling and make me wonder if the staff working on the game even understood what YGO was lmao
@@gameboylad by comparison the staff who made Pokemon Colosseum and Gale of Darkness absolutely understood what Pokemon was. The games were so challenging than the bs they come up with nowadays but are balanced. Game Freak made main series games, but someone else made those two.
@@vanesslifeygo I recently came back from japan and bought JP copies of those 2 games. I really enjoyed XD and I wish Gamefreak would experiment more with spin offs like that. I guess legends of arceus was a nice step in the direction.
I swiped this game from my school's lost and found as a kid and even then it was too expensive. Believe it or not, I even tried to ask around who lost the game and my school was not very big so there were not many classes to ask around for, but no one came forth about losing.
In hindsight this game might have gotten "lost" on purpose and I was just the sucker who "found" it
LMAO it's as if they were ashamed to admit someone bought it for them
Im excited for you to get to 2006 Champ, its leagues ahead of this
Damn I was hoping this was the game I thought it was and I was right.
I played this when I was super young and I had no idea how to actually do the deck building. This was my first exposure to actually playing Yu-Gi-Oh and not just watching it.
Luckily I played some of the synchro era ones later which are MUCH better.
Yeah I think some of the best games were the 5ds games for sure!
