Sure if you like hammy and occasionally ill fitting voice acting.

It's funny how people get so upset with adult Goku sounding like a woman but are fine with a young teenger like Yugi sounding like he's in his 40s

I have doubts that they'd use an English voice cast considering J-Stars Victory VS didn't use one, and both games are even made by the same people.

As far as Yu-Gi-Oh! goes, I'd have to agree I'd rather the 4Kids dub just be left in the past. Cast new actors if it's going to get dubbed, like Sailor Moon's redub got. The 4Kids voices didn't really fit at all. It was dubbed in the era where companies thought giving character goofy, over-the-top accents was comedy.

Yugi!? Really!? No, Toriko, My Hero Academia, Jojo, or Black Clover. Also, two characters from Naruto while One Piece has five. That so not fair (also, why Bleach have three?)

I believe you can see the edge of his duel disk on his left arm. So I think it could be something like Jump Ultimate Stars where Yugi fights by summoning monsters to attack, but doesn't really do anything himself when fighting which could leave him vulnerable to direct attacks.

Most anime games not based on Dragonball don't have dubs. At least, Sword Art Online, Seven Deadly Sins, Little Witch Academia, and One Piece games don't. Not sure on the upcoming My Hero Academia one. I imagine it'd be a huge licensing nightmare considering all these shows were dubbed by different companies and studios, and some of the represented shows were never even released in America to begin with.

^ So it would almost be like playing Pokémon Trainer from Smash except Altemu can actually get hit by his opponents.

The GOAT! My Game King has arrived. As expected. I knew they'd get his hair color wrong. smh Now I'm expecting them to not add his manga wristband, which of course I can't see in the image. lol

You did it once. I let it go. You did it twice. Now I have to ask... do you really think his name has that letter in it?

I'm sure if the game was dubbed, they would offer both the dub and Japanese version as an option to switch between. I'm not sure why some sub fans are overly defensive when someone says they like a dub actor.

Seriously, all this vitriol towards the 4Kids dub is just beating a dead horse at this point. Khan made Yu-Gi-Oh! a success here

and the card game is still being actively played to this day worldwide and online.

That wasn't being overly defensive that was pointing out simple facts. The english voice acting in Yu-Gi-Oh is passable simply because of a lot of weird and unnecessary elements that were added.

The card game still being around is actually probably the reason they don't do a full recast. It would be pretty hard since the card game still needs to be edited heavily for American audiences. Doing a redub wouldn't make sense if the cards themselves are still being censored and changed. Like it or not, the series is kind of stuck where it is in America.

Yeah and now it's gone from airing on Kids WB and Cartoon Network to being on Nicktoons and not having as much relevance.

.....This has less to do with 4 Kids and owed to Konami whom I'm not sure we want to give praise to nowadays.
