Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel finally makes its way to Android after a two-week wait
It's the real deal, folks — the full TCG in digital form
Last July, Konami announced its plans to bring the full Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game to just about every gaming platform in existence, including mobile. This digital interpretation of the physical card game is known as Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, and the game landed on consoles and PC two weeks ago. Of course, mobile was the odd man out (when isn't this the case), and even though a few select territories saw the mobile release last week, today is the official mobile launch, which means Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is finally available on Android and iOS as a free-to-play release.
The real Yu-Gi-Oh! card game is coming to Android soon, along with a second title
No more screwing the rules
Konami already offers a Yu-Gi-Oh! card game on mobile called Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links. This game does not provide the full-fledged TCG (trading card game) experience of the original physical card game, but instead, it offers a cut-down version for faster play. Well, fans have been clamoring for something a lot closer to the original TCG, and it would appear Konami has been listing. In a fresh release announcement, Konami reveals that this long-awaited digital TCG is called Yu-Gi-Oh!: Master Duel, and it plans to bring the game to just about every platform you can think of, including mobile.
If you went to middle school at the same time as me, you might remember Yu-Gi-Oh. It's that show about a kid with an alien starfish attached to his brain that makes him hallucinate about ancient Egyptian playing cards destroying the world. (That's how I remember it, anyway.) Amazingly the twenty-year-old franchise is still around, and quite a lot of people seem to be continuing to play the associated Magic: The Gathering-inspired card game - enough that Konami, otherwise more or less uninterested in non-Pachinko games, has released a new mobile version.
