- Hello Everyone and welcome to my overview into the First 4 Yu-Gi-Oh! Handheld Games that had their own unique spin on the Yu-Gi-Oh! Formula.
This Video is part of a series I am creating called. Road to Master Duel. Where I'll look at every Yu-Gi-Oh Video Game Konami has released over the years. And this time we'll be looking at four Yu-Gi-Oh! games that were released on the handheld. Otherwise known as the Dark Duel Stories Trilogy.
This was incredibly fun to make, and I hope you all enjoy it!

fun fact, in the same week where the original tournament was held, the duel Yugi vs Mai was published in Weekly Shonen Jump and Black Luster Soldier, the number 1 prize card of the tournament, made its debut. I can only imagine that this must have been a deliberate bit of cross-promotion.
Nice
that tokyo dome event was sick
You really went in-depth with this, even deeper than others who have also discussed the history. You clearly have played through all of the games and expressed what worked and what didn't to a fantastic extent. Great work!
Agreed
I played the SHIT out of Dark Duel Stories as a kid, & unironically my favourite character to fight was Weevil. He has the Cocoon of Evolution in this game & I ALWAYS loved seeing how absolutely broken that card was. A normal summonable 2000 defense monster that transforms into a 2600 attack beater then a massive 3500 monster with each of his standby phases. & that's WITHOUT Forest active. I always remember him getting Forest & Cocoon of Evolution up, which made them into 2600 def, 3380 atk, then a massive 4550 atk. PUGM was literally stronger than Blue Eyes Ultimate. Ever since playing this game as a kid the Cocoon of Evolution line has genuinely been my favourite 3 monsters in the game.
I also played Sacred Cards as a kid, which just so happened to have had the same overpowered Cocoon of Evolution in it, & I abused the hell out of it to beat the game, running an Insect deck as soon as I got that card.
BROOOO that first game was one of my favs, i loved that you could "create" your own cards
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
I was really late to owning a yugioh game. My first one I owned was World tournament 2007 on the DS, and that was the time I got back into the card game.
I love the way when you put Professor Takahashi’s epic Manga moments, which is shown at 47:01, I always love his Yu-Gi-Oh Manga forever
I've legit watched this video like 3 times. This summer, I randomly decided to revisit the Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh games on GBC and found this video. I've completed DM1 so far and just started DM2. Gotta say the first game is much easier if you use the password for Seiyaryu which has 2500 attack points lol. Can't wait to see games like Duelist of the Roses and Falsebound Kingdom on the Road to Master Duel. Love the videos ✌️
I am enjoying these yu-gi-oh videogame retrospectives. I hope you continue this series!
Thanks! Still planning to continue it, Forbidden Memories Review is in the works currently. I will say that progress has slowed down due to life things. School and an Upcoming Neck Surgery, but other than that, i'll do my best!
@@IceshadeCometsHope your surgery was OK 🙏
I lost a grand total of four duels TOTAL in Duel Monsters 1 for the Gameboy (all Kaiba too lmao) when I played through it a couple months ago. I have no idea where you got the idea it's so hard lmao. The card drops in game make up tenfold, but maybe I just got insanely lucky... But I also never saw Great Moth apparently, that's actually insane Weevil had that.
Hour long video woo! Got my snacks ready to finish this in one sitting!
Something worth considering in Duel monster II, it uses the same fusion system as Forbidden Memories, so you don't have to grind that much for beaters if you know how to fuse, but holy sh1t that deck cost system taking away 50 points from you when using the password system is pretty rough
I 100% agree, this was such a negative factor of this game.
tbf, using the password is essentially cheating. You are getting cards you should not have. Adding a cost to breaking the progression system of a game seems like a no-brainer decision for me
@@ich3730but the password system it's an option that you have already on the menu, it's not like a cheatcode or a combination of buttons that you have to do in order to access it.
I agree that you should have a cost to use it. However, the game it's already grind-heavy to begin with, you get only 1 card dropped at a time and 3(IIRC) points per win so 50 points of cost EVEN if you made a mistake choosing the option or input the code wrong it's too much. 20 points or 25 would have been fine
Impressive. I appreciated the work put into making this video.
Great Video! I loved how you sprinkled in real life events that occurred during the original release of those games. I would of also liked to hear about the original Bandai game and the Konami version of the OCG especially if they had any impact on these Gameboy games
My man this is a masterpiece, thank you for doing the research and the grinding for us 🙌🏻
This is really good! Looking up my child hood games reviews, put in yugioh Gameboy color and this came up! Good job guy
Amazing video! A blessing in my feed
Duel Monsters 4's trading thing blows Pokemon's version exclusives out of the water.
Pokémon and Dark Duel Stories were my childhood. I really like the artwork on that first Yugioh game, very Season 0.
Funny enough, I still have the holo seiyaryu,salamandra,& acid trap hole, and all I can say is, they don't print holo's as chunky as these anymore :(
Good video ! I've probably spent too much time of my life on these games, since I've spent several years disassembling these specific four games on datacrystal, especially DM3 Dark Duel Stories.
I have a few comments:
16:34 : Only 1 in 8 saves will have a chance to get Solomon Muto to give a card. If your save has gotten a random number at the start of the game that allows it to generate Solomon Muto, you have a 1/256 chance to activate Solomon Muto after each duel. If your save did not get the 1/8 good random number at the start of the game, it will never have Solomon Muto.
29:07 : 9870 cards, actually.
35:06 : Marik and Yami Bakura have 3 Jirai Gumo in their decks too.
1. Oh shit I got lucky on my playthrough then, i didn't even realize that was a thing. I just assumed it was natural due to how slow the progression was in general.
2. Damn, that's like double the cards from what I said, I really like the card combination mechanic in this game, and hope it would return some time later in the future.
3. Yeah, pretty crazy to think that the whole game would be based around high attack monsters with 2000 attack or higher, card construction was a really good mechanic, as without it, this game would be as hard as forbidden memories.
Thanks for your insight, i'll probably return to Road to Master Duel this summer, just finishing up my college degree before then.
Thanks for the video. I'm currently grinding my way through DM1 going for 100% completion just to continue with the other parts. Wish me luck and sanity!
Glad I could help!
Did you enter the card passwords for the 9 special cards in DM1? I can't seem to get the right frame for the button combo
@@baracasper Not really, i just played pure for that game.
Great job making this video. I know it must've take forever to get done. Loving it
Man, I remember collecting as many Butchers and clowns as possible. Just going high attack single dudes. Took so many hours... Good times. 🙂
Very fun video, you did an amazing job man!
I like how Exodia kicked Blue Eyes between the legs. I should really get into these games eventually, even if just for the meme of grinding until the deck cost doesn't matter anymore.
I've obtained all 3 god cards in DM4 on original hardware, it was a huge pain in the ass obtaining them in yugi version because you cannot use a lot of spells and traps so you have to rely on monsters's effects such as mammoth graveyard (reduce 1 level of all your opponent's monsters) and fiend's hand (destroy 1 monster on your opponent's field) And to add salt to the wound you are not able to use a lot of dragons so using the fusion mechanic was difficult as well. However, while researching for good low-level monsters, I discovered that there are some speedruns of this game so if I come back to them, I will try to do a run
Great video! :)
this game has an english translation now
great content
I love grinding, so these games are really fun for me, except for the sound effects when you put a new card in your deck from your collection, that ringing always made my head hurt.
Yeah, it's something I noticed when I started a month ago, I think at some point I got used to the sound effects.
Considering it's the last ever Gameboy game it'd be a crying shame if game 1 wasn't included in the upcoming Yugioh Early years collection
I'm actually hoping konami puts as much as they can. I'm pretty excited for this collection.
@@IceshadeComets I could imagine seeing them put online play in the games that happen to have link cable support for the trading and such ala Capcom's Megaman battle network legacy collection
@@IceshadeCometsI do hope they do localize it, feel bad for the person whose role that's gonna be though
I think being forced to attack or put the monster in defense mode in that first game makes for a very interesting wrinkle in the rules. It would completely change the way we play the game. Want to skip the battle step? Put all your monsters in defense mode. That could be very fun for a while.
I always thought that one card per turn is only for monster, as I heard it the first time
Currently I am trying to beat Dark Duel Stories without using the Construction system. I'm not sure if it's possible but we will see.
What ost was playing before your outro P.S I love your videos I've rewatched them all patiently awaiting your next video ❤❤
This game brought me countless hours of fun. Good ol days
I always thought it was only Dark Duel Stories, and I never know about the others .
Thank you
I appreciate these retrospectives that said I’d rather have gaming riots than actual riots and crime sprees like it’s sadly occurring in Japan. I’d love to play the capsule monster games someday. Watching this video gives me an itch to replay the 3rd one again. To bad we [over seas fans] never got the fourth one and Joey didn’t beat Marik. Would of been a unique and nice story. Looking back I’m surprised I never abused the creation system. I managed to beat the game when it was out. I don’t remember Dark Knight being that hard. I remember beating everyone even Nightmare. It was fun.
DDS was my first yugioh game, good time, but the game was broken. I would use BC or COH to take my opponent boss monster and tribute them for nothing, basically just to get rid of them.
The best is when Darknite uses change of heart to take my 2000 atk monster. Only to tribute it for monster tamer with 1800 atk.
Can you review their sequels reshef of destruction and sacred cards?
Ready to lose even more respect for ritual monsters in these games? Let's say you jump through all the necessary hoops to properly ritual summon Relinquished. It will come into play *face-up.* And since all effects are basically flip effects in these games, you can't use its effect now. You just threw away four cards to summon a 0/0 vanilla, which is also divine attribute so it can't even kill things with type advantage.
Oh, and if you manage to get a copy of Relinquished or Thousand-Eyes Restrict, you can just normal summon them for free and use their effects with no problem.
Holy shit, that's a Ritual in those games?
@@IceshadeComets Relinquished is. Thousand-Eyes Restrict can be summoned by fusion just like in the show and real life game, if I remember correctly. But in both cases, they're useless when summoned that way.
I think the GBA games, Sacred Cards and Reshef of Destruction, fixed this problem by having rituals and fusions come into play face down. But they're still not worth summoning the hard way.
Amazing video, thank you for your hard work on it. Question for you: you mention there were 13 "secret" cards in the game designed by Takahashi. Do you have a full list of those cards? From the few I saw in the video (Millennium Shield, Stuffed Animal) they look like the ones released in the McDonald's pack in the U.S.
I don't have a good memory of where I pulled that list from. I remember seeing it on the Wiki.
How do you feel that the fourth game here is gonna be rerelease soon in a collection, and its coming outside of Japan too :)
Actually pretty excited, I might actually wait for Duel Monsters 6 to be released before covering it.
@@IceshadeComets I love how every post about this collection kinda fails to explain that DM 4 comes in three different versions, and we don't know which version will be in the collection
This collection will be for what console and when it will be released?
It would be nice if the 4th game comes with no limitation of cards in the collection.
Where we can find news about it? I tried to serch in youtube for yugioh collection but i only find about the physical cards collection.
@@carlosandresouzacalheirosm5843 most likely all of them, exclusively the Xbox since they haven't gotten a collection in awhile it seems. Only games we know what's in it though is the third GBC game and Stairway to Destined Duel
Yugioh dm4 is a good game but it's sad that for some cards even if you have these cards and can afford their deck costs but you can't use them in your deck because they're exclusive from other version (joey version has the best cards).
Do you know any code or something to remove these limitations?
i was like negative 9 years old when the tokyo dome riot happened (aka i wasnt born then)
Blue eyes gets killed by a mere leg of exodia hahahah funny
I have tried to play a translated version of the first duel monsters game and i dont know if its part of the patch or i was just screwed over by the RNG but sometimes in stage 1 random opponents like bakura or joey just threw a blue eyes white dragon at me at random wich basically means you lost the duel
You've likely played on VBA or another bad emulator. Sometimes the card ID 0 (which is the card #1 Blue-Eyes White Dragon) is added to the opponent's deck, or even given to the player as the card drop, due to a memory timing error Visual Boy Advance has.
Use a more recent and better emulator like BGB or Gambatte, this problem should no longer happen.
@@mantislazuli okay then. ill try with newer ones. i was certainly confused when joey threw blue eyes at me out of fucking nowhere
38:12 this cards names are pretty confuse to me...
The Sun of god Dragon and Saint Dragon - The god of Osiris
What is that coloured version of the manga?
Yu-Gi-Oh! Bunkoban coloring of the manga, released in 2016 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Yu-Gi-Oh! :D
weird i played dark duel stories recently and i beat darknite 5 out of 5 times, so he was really easy for me, i didnt use any passwords either, i just had a bunch of level 4 2000 attack custom cards in my deck, i had about 800 to 900 deck cost total, with that you can basically use 20+ 2k beaters considering the cost per card is between 20 and 40, so 30 on average, that means you can fit 30 of these in your deck and if you actually know about weaknesses you can overcome anything, even jirai gumo isnt an issue since hes weak to fire. the only difficult monsters to beat are divine monsters, if they summon those with the help of swords of revealing light you are basically done. after i beat all of the additional opponents after dark nite i think i had so much deck cost that my entire deck was basically only level 4 2000 monsters, with that you have about a 90% chance of victory against anyone, also it depends on how lucky you get with your part drops ofc.
Duel monsters 2 my fav game
Duelist kingdom
Best rules and gameplay
Also love the music
Duel monsters 1 is a bit buggy saddly
cause u need to attack or put in defense
Thr elemental system balacened the game good
Wish nowadays the elemental and old fusion system would be still there
duel monsters 3 was actually the first yugioh i was shocked i dont liked it
i though the tribut system is a glitch in the game i dont like the tribut system
the construction system i dont liked it was weird
than i bought a playstation and forbiddne memories and i liked it a lot
I get dark duel stories usa
im guessing no english patch for 4 sigh
Part 4 really messed up 😢 you couldn't even get the three God cards without some bullsh*t. That was one of the main selling point. Too bad they didn't change the story a little bit in each one too. I used Joey when i played it. I think i used a GameShark or something too get his God card. I was like 90% done with the game anyway. So i consider it should have been end game stuff anyway. I got confused on some parts; because they changed what some card go compared to the tv show cards. And i couldn't read Japanese. But i did it 😅
hi sir!!!! i played Duel Monsters 4 and manage to get the god cards,,, here are their effects...
OBELISK: destroys monsters and trap card on the opponents field and strike 4000atk on opponents LP
OSIRIS: powers up itself by the number of cards in your hand up to 2 lvs so 1000 pts for Atk and Def..
RA: summons monsters from the graveyard to your side of the field...in my experience RA summoned 2 monsters at the same time...
in order to get them you must duel Yami Yugi(OSIRIS), Bakura(OBELISK) and Marik (RA) many times until they give them to you..then trade to other version of the game..all of them has 4000atk and def..in my experience you can megamorph them up 2x (+1000)...your lucky you havent fought them in battle because they are actually in their deck...i already experience it.. Yami Yugi has OSIRIS and of course Marik has RA... for OBELISK..... you never mentioned it... Ishizu has it... YEP!!!!! if you let your guard down... Ishizu can summon Obelisk...
for me DArk Duel Stories (US) was my first game that introduced me into Yugioh videogame... i enjoyed playing both Dark Duel Stories and DM4... anyways Nice video sir and really informative!!!....
Actually RA is the best. If i remember correctly the efect of ra is like monster reborn (×2) + change of heart.
Yes you got the most powerful monster your opponent has on field + revive the last monster in the opponent gy + revive the last monster in your gy(most of the times is the 3rd monster tributed for RAs summoning)
Thats why i think that the joey version is the best: best god, can use relinquished,thousand eyes restrict, king of swamp(effect = dark hole), great moth cards...
Also if i remember correctly(but note 100% sure if i remembered the correctly) change of heart, dark hole, mega morph, torrencial rain, trap hole, windspred ruin...
How can u get those game today?
probably you can´t, reselers and emulation are your friends
At least the loose copy of these gameboy games are quite cheap, and there are a lot of copies of them scattered around Ebay
I have one copy of this first game
You can still get loose copies of these from a lot of Japanese stores at less than 200 yens ($2). If you're lazy and don't like importing, you can grab these from resellers on EBay at a higher price.
if you liked dm 3, should you try dm 4?
Depends on how much you liked the crafting system, because that makes or breaks these games. If you liked the gameplay go for it, otherwise don't since it's much harder.
@@IceshadeComets I decided I like reshef of destruction best. I like the rpg element and it's got the best dueling system.
Wish they would make a modern Yu-Gi-Oh game with the advantage/disadvantage system or a new Yu-Gi-Oh rpg.
Wow Miho wasn't even in the very first game
To be fair, if the game takes you up to stage 2 in 8 hours, thats just 2 months for a kid, who probably could only play that game when they finished homework.
But last time I play I used passwords
And here I thought the downfall of Konami was a recent thing. Now after watching this, It makes me wonder if Konami was good to begin with. I loved YuGiOh as a kid and still do to a degree, but now I wonder if this game was doomed from the start
its so peak capitalism that they essentially released the same game 4 times with minimal improvements AND THEN decided to do the pokemon scam of cutting the content into 3 versions as well. That way people can buy the same game 6 times xDDD
