At the moment, details on the project -- dubbed Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution -- are very scarce, but that will change soon. According to Konami, more information on the game will be revealed in the April 2019 issue of V-Jump, which is scheduled to publish on February 21.
That said, Konami has divulged a few tiny details. For one, the competitive card game will allow players to duel against characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! series and other players via online play. Further, the game will utilize the 'New Master Rules,' which are the latest rules to be implemented into the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game.
'New Master Rules' suggests the Nintendo Switch game will ditch the format in Duel Links, and go back to the Link Format, which should be appealing to fans of the series' who in recent years have fallen out of the game due to its increasing rise in complexity.
In other words, the New Master Rules bring the game and rule-set closer in-line with the original game and when its popularity peaked. Now, it's important to note this doesn't mean the game will play like the original card game, it will just be more similar to it than recent formats. So, players who haven't played since the early days of the card game will still have some learning to do. However, it does bring the game further away from the very fast and gimmicky meta that has been developing in recent years.
And for me, this is great news. The meta for the Official Card Game was far from the simplicity of the card game I originally fell in love with. It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't nearly as inviting and took much more concentration on intricate combos and synergies.
Further, this game will presumably be similar to Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist, which is available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Meaning it will have a story mode taking you through the events of the anime, deck building, online play, offline AI play, a draft mode, and most importantly, cards/packs will not be locked behind paywalls.

Anyway, as mentioned above, be sure to tune in a couple of weeks when Konami announces more and presumably reveals the game with a debut trailer.
Yu-Gi-Oh! - The Legend Reborn is a trading card game inspired by the popular anime series Yu-Gi-Oh!. In this program, you can face off against the computer, or your own friends, following the saga's original rules. The game comes with more than 1,100 different cards, both familiar, like the white dragon with blue eyes or the dark mage, as well as fan-created. All of them can be seen in your card collection as you progress through the game and unlock more cards by winning battles. In Yu-Gi-Oh! - The Legend Reborn, you can build your own deck of cards. Once you've perfected your stack, it's time to show your skill and cunning on the mat. The basic rules of the game are, naturally, exactly the same as those you saw on the show. Yu-Gi-Oh! - The Legend Reborn is a very complete trading card game, with an enormous amount of cards (more than a thousand) added to a single-player mode against a competent computer, and of course all of the charisma of the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise.
Live-action anime adaptations are increasing in quantity and popularity as studios realize just how big these properties are, and that means these films will eventually feature actors and actress that fans may not agree with.
One fan has proposed casting for a live-action Yu-Gi-Oh! project, and it's tearing fans of the series completely apart.
If they gonna make a live action YGO and they gonna cast Americans in the roles, here is my picks for Yugi/Kaiba

Internet creator and personality Little Kuriboh, proposed two actors for a live-action Yugi and Kaiba and fans don't know how to feel. Proposing the idea that two American actors would get the role, Little Kuriboh suggests Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things, IT) as Yugi Moto and Dane DeHaan (The Amazing Spider-Man 2, A Cure for Wellness) as Seto Kaiba.
This has naturally rubbed some fans the wrong way as the suggests seem ridiculous for such roles (as it brings up such issues as Whitewashing among other things), but there's an even greater majority of fans who support the idea. Both Wolfhard and DeHaan have proven themselves to be strong actors, and Yu-Gi-Oh! is kind of a series with ridiculous elements that they can handle.
Little Kuriboh knows all about Yu-Gi-Oh!'s ridiculousness as he's the creator of the Internet series, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series. Parodying the more hilarious and off-the-wall elements of the series, while showing a great reverence, it's a big hit with fans. You can check it out here.
Yu-Gi-Oh! was originally created by Kazuki Takahashi for Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, and ran from September 1996 to March 2004. The series follows Yugi Mutou, a young boy who solves an ancient puzzle and is possessed by the spirit of the Egyptian pharoah. Being skilled at deadly games, the Pharoah goes on to create and solve problems for Yugi based on deadly games of chance.

Two anime adaptations were created for the series, but the one most fans will recognize is Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. Duel Monsters was the first arc in the story to focus on the 'Duel Monsters' card game and was the first season licensed for an English language release by 4Kids Entertainment. The first season of the series, which fans often dub as 'Season 0,' has such deadly games of chance with horrible consequences that fans could not believe it was a part of this series at first.
With the series currently celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year, it's now more popular than ever. Collectors have made the merchandise even more valuable than ever as a result, and now some of the rarest cards in the trading card game are selling for ridiculous amounts.
Use monster cards.
Yu Gi Oh Gamato
Monster cards are summoned to attack your opponent’s Life Points and defend your own. They are usually orange (effect) or yellow (normal) in color, but there are many other colors as well. Monsters have levels, ranging from 1-12, which are indicated by the stars along the top, and a symbol in the top right corner indicating Attribute. Above the card text, the Type, the kind of monster, and monster abilities such as Tuner or Flip are written in bold. The Attack and Defense stats are listed as ATK and DEF along the bottom. [2]
Effect monsters have effects which affect the game, but normal monsters only have lore. Effect Monsters are the most commonly used type of monster, as their effects can be quite powerful. Normal monsters are not as useful, but have some good support and are used in certain types of decks. Extra Deck monsters without an effect are Non-Effect Monsters, neither Normal nor Effect monsters.
Tokens are a type of monster summoned by an effect. They can be represented by anything small that can indicate attack and defense position. Token cards cannot be in either deck, and can only exist face-up on the field. Therefore they can't be sent to Graveyard or banished for cost, flipped face-down, or become Xyz Material. They are treated as Normal monsters, and are given their name, attack, defense, level, attribute, and type by the card used to summon them. Official Token cards are gray.
Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link monsters cannot exist in the hand or deck, and must go in the Extra Deck. Xyz monsters have black backgrounds, and Ranks instead of Levels. Synchro monsters are white, Fusion monsters are violet, and Link monsters are blue with a hex background. They each have their own specific summoning methods and must first be Special Summoned using that method before they can be summoned any other way (revived from the Graveyard, etc.). Some of these monsters have special requirements for the monsters used to summon them (known as the materials), which are written on the first line of the text.
Ritual monsters are blue, and also cannot be summoned unless they are first Ritual Summoned. Most of them are summoned with a specific Spell.
Pendulum monsters can be any type of monster, and their background color fades to the green color of spell cards on the bottom half of the card. Above the card text, there is a box which contains that card's Pendulum Effects and has the Pendulum Scales on each side. A Pendulum monster can be activated from the hand as a spell card in the left- and right-most Spell/Trap Zones, which become Pendulum Zones while a Pendulum card is placed in them. Unlike Field Spells, Pendulum cards cannot be replaced by putting another Pendulum monster in the same zone. When a Pendulum monster would be sent from the field to the graveyard, it is placed face-up on top of the Extra Deck instead, where it can be resummoned to the field. If you have a Pendulum monster in both Pendulum Zones, you can perform a Pendulum Summon (more on that later).
Possible monster abilities are Tuner, Spirit, Gemini, Flip, Union, and Toon. Tuner monsters are necessary for Synchro Summons. The other types are self-explanatory.
