Duel Arena launched in June as a F2P browser replacement for Yu-Gi-Oh! Online. It honestly wasn't very good.

This is the second f2p browser Yu-Gi-Oh! game to be shut down in as many years. Konami shut down the desktop version of the casual-aimed Yu-Gi-Oh! BAM last year, though the mobile version persists.

Duel Generation (F2P/Mobile) is still ongoing.

the only hope for non-f2p

 

[Vashetti]

It's time to

not

d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-uel.

 

[RE_Player]

Duel Generation is ok but lacks polish.

Konami should really bring full on games like Tag Force to everything. From iPad to PS4.

I remember a non browser based one but still online game in the early 2000s. Was official I think? Game was really fun and free. I remember playing against a kid from Peru who kept saying Peru is #1 at Yugioh and how America is trash players. I beat him and said "no wonder Peru stinks...you all stink at yugioh!!!"

 

[Adam Prime]

This sounds like a great idea, MMO card game. Too bad it didn't work out. Pokemon should really try this.

 

[MXAGhost]

They need to get some of that Hearthstone money if they want to compete with the big guns.

 

[Totobeni]

Konami need to believe in the heart of the cards and just give the license back or sell it to some good/competent publisher who can do YuGiOh justice and give the fans good games.

Are you sure that you weren't playing a dota game?

 

[Sou Da]

Pretty much. Without that level of polish, Dueling Network makes a Konami made browser game null.

 

[Astral/H3X]

Maybe they are preparing the Oculus Rift version with 3D models.

 

[TI82]

Nope, was yugioh and I loved it lol.

It was given on a disc I got with a monthly shonen jump I remember that much

 

[sibarraz]

Konami should look more at MTGO or Pokemon TCGO rather than hearthstone, the idea is not to destroy their core business that is the physical game which still sells very well

This would be cool but it costs money, so it's not going to happen.

Yeah, that's Yu-Gi-Oh! Online.

Even Tag Force isn't much of a full on game anymore. TFSP lacked a lot of the frills from the earlier games.

There's already a long running fanmade browser game with Pokemon TCGO level of production value for Yugioh, trying to do an official version of that won't work.

Didn't they release something like that on iOS?

 

[Gbraga]

What a shame, the PSP games were so good.

The dream is still not dead TT_TT

 

[LeonSPBR]

D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Duel is dead.

This game must be horrible if they chose to shut down in less than a year...

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

f2p mmo, multiplatform (pc, mac, linux, ps360, ps4, xb1, wii u, vita, 3ds, android, ios, tizen, jolla) with candy pack mega boosters from 2.99$ to 99.99$, all tier one pokemons free, want more pay for packs, seasonal pass, pay to evolve system if you are too busy to play and level up!

watch iwata dance "Money Maker" on a nintendo direct while showing the middle finder to his investors and shit

 

[thenexus6]

It's time to D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D Die

 

[brainzelda]

DuelingNetwork and Devpro killed any chances of f2p official yugioh app from taking off.

 

[Asd202]

Konami why have you fallen so low .

 

[Shanlei91]

We still have 25 days left to party it up!

I still can't believe they pumped out a 3DS version with no multiplayer. Who wants to play children's card games alone?

 

[rrc1594]

just bring those arcade 360 games over pls

 

[KHlover]

I'd be sad, but YGO Pro was better anyways.

 

[ODDI]

I'd be sad, but YGO Pro was better anyways.

Pretty much this.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

I only used it a few times.

Hoping for a Tag Force Vita in the future. :<

I guess that at least makes it many times better than APB which shut down in less than 2 months.

Or that super weird GBA game that followed the rules of the show not the actual game.

Err what? Pokemon already has an online TCG

Didn't they release something like that on iOS?

Even before that. Pokemon TCG online has been around since 2011. They just added ipad support to it last year. Before it was only limited to PC and Mac.

Anyways... This makes me wonder the direction duel generation will head. They really need a bit of an overhaul to the duel generation interface to be done. Otherwise make a desktop version. The buttons are just small and the scrollbars just weren't made for touch devices

 

[Magwik]

They'll find success when they can actually make a better game than YGOPro

 

[MaximumSpider]

Yeah, I like YGO Pro a lot more then whatever this was.

 

[Shanlei91]

That was the worst. For years they kept pumping out games that had made up rules.

Complaining about made up rules in Yu-Gi-Oh seems a tad ironic.

I'm a firm believer of upholding ancient egyptian traditions.

 

[Tagyhag]

Man that's a great idea I didn't think of that. Hopefully someone makes a demo of something like that once we get the consumer versions

 

[Sesha]

More like Yu-Gi-Oh-Oh, amirite?

 

[Sandfox]

Konami waited to long to give us a proper game so the fans made one and now they'll see zero money because of it.

Complaining about made up rules in Yu-Gi-Oh seems a tad ironic.

The real problem with Yugioh is how the game has "slowly" been power creeping over the years.

 

[Slayven]

Shit ran like rusted shit

 

[Boogiepop]

Hopefully now they'll put out a non-butchered game on 3DS. Because trying to funnel people towards this to sink more money is about the only reason I can think of for what happened to the 3DS game.

 

[Unfortunately Luke]

Honestly never even bothered giving it a go.

I'm still incredibly salty from when Konami pulled the plug on Yu-Gi-Oh! Online. The prices were less, but if you compare the amount you got (cards) to how much you paid, you were essentially paying the same for a virtual version of actual Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. Then, one day, everyone's spent money went straight down the drain.

I can't say I didn't see it coming, but it infuriated me none the less.

yes
it is time for Tag Force VIIta (7)
