Trivia – Yu Gi Oh Nightmare Troubadour

Due to a glitch, after defeating Odion Ishtar for the first time, Pegasus no longer appears as an opponent. This makes it impossible for the player to trade for his cards (he is the only Duelist with “Imperial Order“) and get his Deck Recipe afterward, so players who wish to fully complete the game must do both of the above before defeating Odion usually.
Shortly after the start of the game’s storyline, Shadow Games are introduced. When traveling between locations at night, the player can be intercepted by evil duelists such as Rare Hunters and be forced to Duel them. Losing or even tying with them will result in being sent to the Shadow Realm, giving the player a Game Over and requiring them to restart from their previous save point. Only exception is Joey controlled Marik which if you win Joey will die as in the anime.
The Japanese version of this game uses the censored TCG card artworks instead of the Japanese.
Tristan Taylor and Duke Devlin do not appear in this game even though Yugi Muto, Joey Wheeler, Serenity Wheeler, and Tea Gardner do.
