Ah good to know, Yugioh Early Days drops that day and I was planning on buying it day one (Because aint nobody got time to wait 40 minutes for the opponent to win on his first turn) now, I will not
We all want a version of Yugioh that doesn’t cost literal thousands of real world dollars to get decent cards for in a format that isn’t “Waiting 40 minutes for your opponent to play Solitaire until he finishes Special Summoning five of his overpriced boss monsters”
I’ve waited years for such a thing, I can wait one more day.
I feel like Konami and I both want it to be like the show, but that means different things to both parties.
I think it means, a battle of wits in which ultimately two parties are summoning stronger and stronger monsters trying to one up the other in the course of a duel while throwing curve balls via Spell or Traps, maybe even an Effect monster or two.
And Konami thinks it means “Every card printed after 2006 needs to be the most gimmicky bullshit you’ve ever seen and do such absurd things that it would and literally does have entire paragraphs printed on the smallest text ever on each card just to go on and on about how horribly this warps the rules of the game, and the further you go, the more absurdly broken these cards get to the point where insane moon logic is at play more than anything else.”
So I want Battle City and Konami wants Duelist Kingdom, which is ironic because Battle City comes after Duelist Kingdom
Seriously I tried playing Master Duel and had to surrender because I literally got a headache trying to remember what all of my cards did.
Remember when most of your monsters were just Attack/Defend goons who just had flavor text whereas a few here and there might have some small effect? Good times… I’m not even sure Non-Effect monsters exist anymore.
My son taught me to play MTG once. Super basic cards, nothing crazy. Not only could I not keep up with what my cards did, all of the “this effect is in play, but except not this card, because of this other effect, and then there’s a couple other effects going on, too.” I couldn’t be made to care enough to figure that out every time.
It’s non-consumerism day

I salute your dedication to the cause. (Not sarcasm)

This is painfully accurate, And I don’t even play any of those card games.

This video is more or less what the game has devolved into, I don’t expect you to be able to follow it, because I can’t either.
All you really need to know is Modern Yugioh asks and answers a bold question…
That question is “So when does the other gentleman in the duel get to actually have a turn?” and the answer is “The neat part is, that he does not.”
What is the point of a card game where whoever goes first wins because they can just continue to play more cards until they win?
You might pre-order and just get the download that day. Or cartridge in the mail or whatever, I don’t know what device the game is released for.
Then stock up on food the day before and lock yourself in ;-)
