A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Puyo Puyo~n Party is a Japanese exclusive N64 game that made use of the Transfer Pak when connected to Puyo Puyo Sun, another Japan exclusive title. When connected, the images unlocked in the Gameboy game become viewable on the TV through the N64 game. However, there are pictures hidden within the game’s data that are […]
Megacat Studios and Playground Productions have ported Backyard Baseball ’97 to PS5 and Switch through reverse engineering as they didn’t have the original source code. While the passion to bring this 28-year-old game to modern platforms is impressive and pretty darn cool, I must beg the question – who asked for this? The Backyard Sports […]
Stunt Flyer, originally released in PAL regions for the Nintendo Wii, has been ported to the Switch and recently to Xbox Series consoles. Ultimate Games has now transitioned this wholesome digital playground to current Playstation systems and plays just like the other versions. Everything mentioned in my Switch and Xbox articles still hold true so […]
Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1 and Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol.2 are two amazing compilations released on Switch 1 and on Steam. While there was some slight variations between the Switch and Steam versions in terms of the game roster, these bundles should be celebrated for their quality emulation, robust feature set (multiplayer supported games […]
Keeper’s Toll, published by EastAsiaSoft, is the latest Vampire Survivors clone but with one key difference from the dozen others released this week – this one is actually good. The inspiration from Vampire Survivors is blatantly obvious. There are multiple heroes, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and attacks. Each stage is outfitted with its […]
Developed by the same team that created Club House Games on Nintendo DS, Slide Adventure MagKid (2007) was a Nintendo published DS game that turned the dual screened handheld into a computer mouse. By attaching the special mouse peripheral into SLOT-2 (the GBA cartridge slot at the bottom), players slide their DS like using a […]
Bunny Cubed is the latest low-cost Sokoban title published by EastAsiaSoft, following in the footsteps of Rivenaar’s Grove, Skater’s Solstice, Soko Penguin, Soko Frog, The Traveler’s Path, and Shivering Stone. However, it most closely resembles Fluffy Milo right down to the menu selection screen. It takes less than thirty minutes to clear all 60 stages […]
Originally released in PAL regions on Wii, Ultimate Games recently published Stunt Flyer on Switch. There, I praised the game for its casual gameplay, wholesome approach, and zero pressure presentation. You can read my Switch REVIEW of Stunt Flyer here. Thankfully, Stunt Flyer has now been ported to Xbox consoles. In short, it is the […]
Mario Tennis and Mario Golf on N64 and Gameboy Color were developed by Camelot. This forward thinking developer included Transfer Pak functionality in these sports titles but Mario Golf has one unfortunate downside of connecting the console version to the handheld version, one misstep that was corrected with Mario Tennis. Mario Golf was the first […]
Clearly inspired by retro first-person shooters of the late 90s and early 2000s, specifically Half Life, Kvark is a new, old game purposely designed with quality, lower-res visuals and janky polygons. It looks like an old game and, for the most part, plays like an old game for better and worse. It doesn’t do anything […]
