A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Nintendo announced that Virtual Boy (1995) games will be coming to the Switch Online Classics service in February 2026. Apparently you will need to buy a $100 mock-VB headset to play these games in 3D. A lower-cost cardboard unit will also be available (but looks really uncomfortable to hold with the Joycons next to your […]
Originally released in 2002 as an indie game before indie games, horizontal shooter Platypus gets a full remake as Platypus: Reclayed. Its main gimmick obviously comes from the clay, stop-motion visuals, but thankfully it has been outfitted with fun, thoughtful shooter mechanics especially in local co-op. Remade with widescreen, 4k support, there is no denying […]
Hot Stakes Casino – American Roulette is a simple but confounding roulette simulator. There isn’t much to it, and the game already assumes you know how to play, so the fun factor is just as limited as the replay value. Without tutorial, instruction, or any sort of guidance, the player is immediately thrown into the […]
Popeye (Gameboy, 1990) is a Japan exclusive maze chaser with an asymmetrical link cable versus mode. One player controls Popeye, who can eat spinach for increased speed and can eat through the hamburger barriers, while the control Brutus, who can release animals to stun Popeye. Whoever wins five rounds, marries Olive Oil, probably against her […]
The King of Ping Pong: MEGAMIX is basically the Punch-Out!! of table tennis. It is essentially a personality-filled fighting game designed around the player’s reaction time as opposed to being a ping pong simulator; this is no Rockstar Table Tennis. The steep difficulty will probably discourage some players but there is no denying the creative […]
From the colorful banner art and quick cutting gameplay trailer, Truck Driving seems like a fun, little haul-based racing game. However, looks can be deceiving as there is no racing, hauling, or fun involved in this short-burst truck driving tech demo of a “game”. Using only the triggers to accelerate/reverse with the analog stick to […]
By watching the trailer, it might be assumed that Overpowered 1 – Mars Infestation is another survivors clone, but this is not the case. Instead, this is an arena twin-stick shooter sort of like Smash TV but with a minor twist. Playing as a lone space marine, apparently you need to clear a path of […]
The Transfer Pak was this device that attached to the back of an N64 controller and allowed Gameboy cartridges to link with N64 games. The Transfer Pak was mostly used for Pokemon Stadium, allowing players to import their Gameboy Pokemon into the console title, but there were over a dozen other games that also made […]
Don’t feel bad if you never heard of Space Adventure Cobra. It was an early 80s anime that barely ran for 30 episodes, and for some reason French publisher Microids and developer Magic Pockets decided 2025 was the right time to release a game about an obscurely forgotten Japan cartoon. This game tie-in essentially recreates […]
Road Trip: Arcade Edition (2002) on Nintendo Gamecube (also known as Choro-Q! in Japan) can be linked with Road Trip: Shifting Gears on Gameboy Advance (also known as Choro-Q Advance in Japan). When connected with a GameCube-To-GBA link cable, new content becomes unlocked in both versions. In the GC game, Car99, which is a pumpkin […]
