About this product

Product Information

Taking its cue from the trading card game and inspired in part by the cartoon series, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul equips players with a deck of powerful cards and charges them with the task of becoming the best duelist in the world. Gameplay is composed of one-on-one, turn-based battles, where each player attempts to overpower the opposition's deck by the best use of the given cards. Unlike other Yu-Gi-Oh! titles, this handheld rendition adheres strictly to the rules established in the physical card game. The over 800 cards included in this digitized incarnation of the card game cover a wide assortment of trap, magic or ritual, and tribute monster summon card types with which to battle. Additionally, owners of the actual cards can utilize the passwords printed on them to "import" those cards into the GBA game.<br><br>Initially, players are able to choose from three different decks (Black, Red, or Green), each consisting of 40 different cards. Thereafter, players compete in a series of battles against increasingly tougher opponents. At first players are only able to challenge five rivals, including Yugi, Joey, Tristan, and Tea. Success in battle will grant players additional booster packs, containing five cards to be added to their collections. Eventually, they'll be challenged by another tier of newer, tougher opponents that should be familiar to fans of the show. Based on a typical calendar year, in-game battles advance time by a single day, with specific days yielding new booster packs to incorporate into collections, or new tournaments to enter. Unlike standard battles, the winner of tournament events is decided in a best-of-three match series. <br><br>During battle, players are free to summon monsters (each with their own particular elemental affinities and type) in attack or defensive positions, combine creatures to form stronger ones, and even imbue existing monsters with additional health or powers to utilize. Away from the tier-based single-player competition, players can make use of the link cable to duel against friends or trade cards from their respective decks.

  • The Best Yu-Gi-Oh GBA Game

    Easily the best Yu-Gi-Oh GBA Game. The duels with NPCs get harder and harder until it becomes a real challenge. There are many cards to collect. The gameplay is what you'd expect; addicting, turn-based Yu-Gi-Oh glory. One of the main downsides is that you can only have one deck, meaning that if you want to change your deck, you can't keep your old one to revert back to. This is more of a minor complaint. You should definitely get this game if you like Yu-Gi-Oh, and if you're new to Yu-Gi-Oh, give it a shot!

  • Same as it ever was and that's awesome

    Used to own this game, bought it again for my nephew to play to learn the basics of Duel Monsters. He played it once for 20'ish minutes and was done, which bummed me but then I played it again and it was just as fun as the first time I owned it. I realized after a little research that the rules in this Yu-Gi-Oh game are outdated compared to current day so the reason I bought it for my nephew was moot, but I'm still really enjoying playing it again. Puts me a little bit back in touch with me from 15'ish years ago. Probably going to pick up copies of Poke'mon Fire Red and Sapphire next, but finding legitimate Nintendo carts for Poke'mon can be frustratingly confusing on eBay.

  • Best duel simulator from Metal Raiders-ish era.

    This game uses the advanced format rules (higher ATK kills regardless of typing, or other nonsense rules), and features characters from the anime. You build a deck piece by piece to run against Yugi and Joey's cookie-cutter beatdown decks, all the way through Seto Kaiba's Blue-Eyes to Pegasus' outright cheating by seeing what cards you play (even if you don't look first.) Cards can be gained 5 at a time semi-randomly between duels, or by inputting an 8-digit code. Additionally, with two copies of the game, two GBA consoles, and a link cable, cards can be transferred between cartridges. There are some minor glitches (for instance, thee card 'Last Will' does nothing), and earlier cartridges used a battery for saving, being inherently volatile, although the later half used a solid state saving apparatus, but overall it is definitely the best duel simulator that 2002 could produce. With this game, it's always time to d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-DUEL!

  • Great game for a great price.

    Great game for a great price. I had this game as a child and played many hours dueling everyone from Yugi Moto to Yami Yugi to Pegasus to Seto Kaiba. Absolutely love the way this game is set up. Great buy for any card game enthusiast.

    Used to own this as as kid, but lost it after I moved out on my own. This game is everything I remember it to be, and I get such a nostalgic rush playing it and seeing all the old cards I used to play with when I was younger!
