Duel Master 3 on the GBA is one of those weird little Japanese-exclusive card battlers that somehow made its way into the hands of importers back in the day. It's got that early 2000s TCG vibe—think simpler rules than modern card games, but still plenty of depth once you dig in.

First thing you'll notice? The pixel art for the monsters is surprisingly detailed for a GBA game. The UI's a bit cramped, but after a few matches, you get used to it. Deckbuilding feels experimental—some combos are hilariously broken if you figure them out early.

No English patch exists (as far as I know), so you'll be menu-guessing unless you know Japanese. Still, if you're into retro card games, it's a neat time capsule from when portable TCGs were just figuring themselves out.
