There is hardly a game genre more reliant in text comprehension than TCG/CCG.Going by the trailer, they got even the GB and GBC games in english but there was an odd GBA game all in japanese. I hope it’s only thatThis has been known for a good while through the eshop listing.@Bobb I wouldn’t bother worrying. Assuming it’s a 1:1 conversion, all of the cards featured in these games already have a real world translation/localization. So it’s just a linguistic portjob.My real concern is content authenticity, since back in the day, the guys who wee running the card game thought it would be a smart idea to market a game aimed at teens to 6 year olds… Ya know where I’m going with this.@Bobb Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters 6, Expert 2 was not translated because Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel IS the translated version.@syrupdash thank you very much. I didn’t know thatThe biggest thing I’m waiting to know is if Sacred Cards in this compilation is based off the original GBA release or the double-pack-with-Reshef re-release. This matters because the original Sacred Cards used all the Japanese card art in its English release, but the double-pack release went back and retroactively replaced all of that artwork with the heavily censored US art versions (blood removed, cleavage covered up, religious icons censored or removed, etc). While Reshef used the censored art in both its original release and the double-pack, the retroactive censoring of Sacred Cards always sat badly with me – which is why I still have my original GBA Sacred Cards version cartridge still, because Sacred Cards remains very much my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh game ever (not saying it’s the best of them, just my personal favorite – feels like a self-insert written competently for a change lol).I’m still very interested in the overall collection for Dark Duel Stories and Eternal Duelist and Dungeon Dice Monsters, but which version of Sacred Cards they end up using (and, if they use the censored one, does it turn out that they also go back and retroactively censor other games?) would ultimately say a lot about whether I have interest in the overall collection as a digital future-proof pickup versus just watching for the original cartridges.They delayed the game once and it still is unfinished?I’m looking forward to this.I think I only owned Eternal Duelist Soul.But admittedly only deep dove into highly addictive deck building yugioh games in the DS era and later the now NS1 era.Can’t wait to say I’m gonna try everything out, then just play the heck out of Stairway over and over again. 😎Sounds like a good collection.Though I thought, wasn’t the very first Yu-Gi-Oh game a PS1 tactical RPG, no cards?I heard the card theme was not in the original comic design. That is about the extent of my YGO knowledge.At the very least, id be interested in replaying World Wide Edition – good variety of cards and presentation. The others are a bonus to me.@KingMike The manga at first was about games in general and only at a certain point Duel Monsters became the focus – in fact, there’s an anime series before the “first” international one that covers that part of the manga (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_(1998_TV_series))… it’s unsurprising that it has never been released outside of Japan officially also considering that the manga in general and especially that part and so the corresponding anime series is brutal and so it would’ve been a nightmare to censor!Super cool these games are coming to switch, I always thought Yu-Gi-Oh! Was cooler then Pokemon as a kid, I hope Konami continues to do more of these collections on switch as they are fantastic. (Now bring over the Beyblade DS Games for switch XD)I just want the QCR Harpie’s Feather Duster (the one that’s sweeping a card art) Show CommentsLeave A CommentHold on there, you need to login to post a comment…Nintendo Expands Switch Online’s SNES Library With Three More TitlesIncluding a special Super Famicom release…Opinion: My Daughter Made Me Realise That Mario Wonder’s Difficulty Options Need WorkYoshi or Nabbit, make your choiceSega Launches Its Own Free Account Service With Unique Member RewardsSign up!
