This prototype is a rejected build of the French localization of Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories. It was likely labeled as "Not Good" due to a major display glitch, as well as a few minor ones.

At one point in time it seems as if Konami was considering dropping the "Dark Duel Stories" subtitle, in favor of simply calling it "Yu-Gi-Oh!". All traces of "Dark Duel Stories" have been wiped clean from the script, the title screen as well and even the header information (The US version is "YUGIOUDS", while both the French prototype and the French final version are "YU GI OH").

Deck display major display glitch

In the Prototype version, the first card displayed in the player's deck is not updated when switching pages. It also makes the pagination move slightly to the left, and display a dot at the top-right of the screen.

This glitch is likely what caused this version to be labeled as Not Good.

French Proto	French Final	Notes
		The card on the first line should have been updated to "609 Mouche E" when switching to page 8 in the Prototype version. And a dot appeared at the top-right of the screen which should not be there.

Card minor display glitches

Some characters are missing in the Prototype version, which leads to some minor graphical issues.
The Prototype version also struggles to display the last character of several card names with 16 or 17 characters correctly.

French Proto	French Final	Notes
		The "+" sign is missing in the char table, it is displayed as "c1" and breaks the text box.
		The "≤" and "=" signs are missing in the char table, they are displayed as " ,".
		Some card names in the Prototype version with 16 or 17 characters display the last character incorrectly. For example, Zombie en Armure is displayed as "Zombie en Armur1". The final version "fixes" this glitch by making all card names 15 characters or less.

Card Changes

Several cards had their card name, card Type or card Alignment changed from the Prototype version.

French Proto	French Final	Notes
		"Eclair" in the Prototype version became "Eklair" in the final version.
		"Contre Eclair" in the Prototype version became "Anti Eklair" in the final version.
		Card Type "Bguerriè" in the Prototype version became "BêteGuer" in the final version.
		Card Type "BêtAilée" in the Prototype version became "BêteAilé" in the final version.
		Card Type "Eau" in the Prototype version became "Aqua" in the final version. It was likely done to avoid confusion with the card Alignment "Eau".
		Card Alignment "Démon" in the Prototype version became "Diable" in the final version. It was likely done to avoid confusion with the card Type "Démon".
