Double Pack for the Nintendo Game Boy® Advance handheld video game system to retail stores nationwide. The classic titles Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards and Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction are combined onto one GBA cartridge, letting Yu-Gi-Oh! players duel in the ultimate card dueling tournaments. Based on the popular animated TV series and TRADING CARD GAME, both chapters are among the most highly acclaimed games in the long running Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise and will provide hours of portable gaming fun.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction, the sequel to Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards, pits players against Reshef - “The Dark Being” – who, if left unchecked, will shroud the world in a mire of darkness. Players must build their decks and gain experience, even as new twists and turns threaten to derail efforts to stop evil. As players explore the world, they will have to buy and sell, even wager, their cards to create an unbeatable deck to stop Reshef and restore order.
