[@badwrongfun5541]

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" .

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.

[@officeraquos5511]

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.

[@redphantom6921]

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 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

[@FalscheHoffnungen]

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.

[@guyincognito7518]

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 😅

[@chungus1149]

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

[@skylightts2292]

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

[@PresidentScrooge]

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.

[@COMMANDandConquer199]

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.

[@marconopolo5723]

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)

[@the-engneer]

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

[@Snodrr]

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 KZbin 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!

[@TouchPlayEmu]

The real hardware can't be beaten tbh

[@frigginresulrum]

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.

[@DebrisDiver]

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...

[@lpfan4491]

Konami:"Who cares about being the king of games when you can be the king of Ash Blossom instead?"

[@denisskenderovic3707]

The amount of hours I spent battling freaking Joey in Joey the Passion is insane. But loved every second of it.

[@spartan4613]

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

[@enzo991_]

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.

[@pn2294]

Well people complain when the game isn’t just a dueling sim so…

Thanks a lot! :D Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nightshroud9671]

The fact we got a game(that is master duels) that has no anime characters is quite concerning

[@TheMightofDab]

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

[@ReaperP13]

@@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

[@SethHaskell]

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!

[@LightFykki]

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.

[@DeltaShinyZeta]

Glad you like this video! :)

[@StriiderEclipse]

Unless I’m just blind, I notice a distinct lack of Yu-Gi-Oh! BAM…

[@lp-kt1hu]

I remember that

[@JoelRiter]

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.

[@AstralPhnx]

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

[@AstralPhnx]

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

[@Aliens1337]

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.

[@PresidentScrooge]

@@Aliens1337 This. Modern Yugioh is complete caps and needs for cards to rotate out of it standard format like in Magic or Hearthstone.

[@gingerale1591]

@@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.

[@NiGHTSnoob]

The easiest way to describe Falsebound Kingdom is it's Ogre Battle. It's just Ogre Battle. The battle system is slightly different because you can sorta directly control the characters instead of setting parameters, but it does the same thing where you can only attack so many times and then the round ends and the parties get separated on the world map based on parameters of who was defending and who was moving and such. Go look up footage of Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen or Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber to see where Falsebound Kingdom came from.

[@HighPriestFuneral]

Hmm, yeah... you're right. That's something I never realized. Falsebound Kingdom was such an ambitious game (perhaps all the parts didn't entirely mesh together), but the core makeup of the system is from Ogre Battle.

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.

[@lilsunny7399]

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

[@AlexisGutierrezProductions]

Beating the clones fair and square with essentially that starter deck was an achievement

[@awagnow]

​@@RealRoboKnightlmao the ds era is not underrated, everyone always praises those games

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 remember as a little kid my parents once bought me this random Yu-Gi-Oh game for PC. I barely remember anything about it because I only played it like once and never again (I didn't know anything about Yu-Gi-Oh), so none of these games are exactly what I remember, but it was _probably_ "Power of Chaos: Yugi the Destiny" if I had to guess?

[@SirMalorak]

Duelist of the Roses is SUCH a hidden Gem of a game. Really weird to wrap your head around for sure, but the OSTs are bangers, the graphics are decent, and the gameplay loop is really, REALLY fun.

I once beat Reshef the Destructor back than without cheating. It was a lot of tears, anger and frustration :D but RA has often saved me :)

[@nebelwanderer4974]

Where do the "Duel Terminal"-games fit into this timeline? Apparently they were similar to arcade machines in Japan and North America and would reward players with a card after play? I haven't seen one IRL (as I'm European), so I can't confirm anything about them, but I've heard, that the storyline is fantastic.

[@ahmada.923]

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.

[@Skullkid20999]

Man, Duelist of the Roses was my jam, the only reason I learned how to emulate PS2 games was to play it again.

[@felipecortez1042]

Stairway to the destined duel was one of my favorite games growing up, I still play it to this day once in a while 😂😂

[@SnipeMD]

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 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.

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.

[@JoeMurray5]

Dungeon dice monsters and capsule game had so much potential. Same with forbidden memories. So ahead of the times

[@ddot4516]

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

[@null-Oh-6666]

You have already Tag Force, if you mean that you want a Yugioh Rpg without card stuff then I agree with you

[@ddot4516]

@@null-Oh-6666 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

[@SJxPVR]

Me and my cousin played yugioh eternal duelist soul to no end to the point that once we unlocked the dueling robot we kept telling ourselves that once we beat him 150 times something happens...it never did 🤣

[@Drewy01134]

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.

[@VictorHernandez-nj2lo]

Dark duel stories was my 1st yugioh game,though i never got past the level 2 opponents.i traded my promo cards to a guy who only cared about holos.i traded seiyaryu,salamandra,& acid trap hole for blue eyes white dragon,axe of despair,& trap hole

[@taclusivegaming1467]

Forbidden memories was the game i had as a kid and I loved it

[@dovesr0478]

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.

[@wolfgod6443]

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.

[@mewdreamer]

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.

[@lpfan4491]

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.

[@OriginalSteeldude]

Wow, that was descriptive, bun fun at the same time! Nicely done.

[@DeltaShinyZeta]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

I loved Eternal Duelist Soul. I still have it downloaded on my computer and play it from time to time.
