A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Inside the thoughts of Sir SquallSnake.
Mickey’s Speedway USA (N64) is Transfer Pak compatible with the Gameboy Color version of the same name. When the GBC cart is inserted into the TP, Huey becomes a playable racer. However, it took a few attempts to get this feature to work. If it doesn’t work for you, keep resetting until it finally takes. […]
Shantae Advance: RIsky Revolution was originally targeting a mid-2000s release but was sadly canceled during development. However, thanks to the efforts of the original developer, Wayforward, and Limited Run Games, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution was completed and released on a physical cartridge. A digital version will also be released on current gen consoles. As if […]
When certain Neogeo Pocket COLOR games are inserted into a non-color Neogeo Pocket system, developers sometimes included secret error message screens. SNK Vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium takes it a step further by not only including several error screens, but one in particular gives the player hidden instructions on how to view a […]
I’ve teamed up with Poggers, makers of natural energy, sleep, and hydration products, to provide you with a discount code. My personal fave is the green apple hydration mix. I have not tried the Rocket Pop but thought it looked pretty good. Simply use this link: https://poggerslifestyle.com/SQUALLSNAKE Or enter promo code “SQUALLSNAKE” at checkout to […]
Loony Toons: Marvin Strikes Back has three link cable multiplayer mini games: Simon Says, Rock/Paper/Scissors, and a Fallguys-clone. These games are pretty awful, have low presentation values, and do not even have sound or music. Which makes me think they were tacked on right before the game shipped or the devs ran out of time […]
Disney’s The Lion King: Simba’s Mighty Adventure is a forgotten Gameboy Color sequel (also a version on PS1) that features a pointless and nearly broken 2-player link cable mode. The linked TAG option is a race to hold a star for 2 minutes longer than your opponent. But Nala has the advantage as her Start […]
When the Gameboy Color version of Mario Tennis is connected to the N64 version via the Transfer Pak, data can be swapped and new content gets unlocked. Sadly, the Transfer Pak functionality was removed from the Switch Online version of Mario Tennis on N64… but there is a reason why the GBC characters were not […]
Nintendo’s Wave Race series originated on the Gameboy, not on the N64, and was one of the few original Gameboy titles to support the 4-Player Adapter. Wave Race on Gameboy still holds up today and the two different modes bring variety to the gameplay.
The Chromatic handheld is a new Gameboy Color released by a 3rd party called ModRetro. This handheld gaming system has all the features of Nintendo’s original device but with some nifty backlit screen options. Adding value to the $200 price point, ModRetro also includes their own officially licensed version of Tetris. Unfortunately, the multiplayer mode […]
The original Gameboy version of Marble Madness has a feature that is missing from other handheld ports – the included 2-player link cable mode! The GameGear version and even the Gameboy Color port, which was released many years later, did not include the 2-player mode, making this more of a definitive version even with diminished […]
