Yu-Gi-Oh Early Days Collection for Nintendo Switch is only $20 at Amazon during Prime Day while supplies last. That part is key here, as Target has already sold out of this same deal multiple times over the past few days. If Amazon’s deal is gone when you read this, Walmart has the collection for $22.18. Chances are both retailers will sell out, because this is a pretty wild promotion, whether you’re saving $30 or $28.

The Early Days Collection launched on February 27 exclusively for Nintendo Switch and PC. It comes with 14 Game Boy, GBC, and GBA games that originally released from 1998 to 2003. The Switch-exclusive physical edition also comes with a Secret Rare Yu-Gi-Oh trading card; you’ll get one of two Quarter Century Secret Rare Harpie’s Feather Duster cards.

Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters was the franchise’s first big hit and the only entry to release on original Game Boy. The series really hit its stride on Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance in the early 2000s. Remarkably, all 14 games were released within a five-year window from 1998 to 2003.

Even more remarkably, that’s not even all of the Yu-Gi-Oh games that released during that time. The Early Days Collection contains the first 14 Yu-Gi-Oh handheld games, but Konami also developed several console for PlayStation, GameCube, and PlayStation 2 in the late ’90s and early 2000s.

If you’re looking forward to the Early Days Collection, you can bide the time with a couple of recent Yu-Gi-Oh anime Blu-ray releases. The original Yu-Gi-Oh movie received a steelbook edition last September, and Amazon has it marked down to only $15.38 (was $30) for Prime Day. In December, Yu-Gi-Oh Bonds Beyond Time also received the steelbook treatment. This one is slightly more expensive at $19.49 (was $30), but it’s eligible for Amazon’s B2G1 Free Blu-ray and Book promotion.
