A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
American Bass Challenge has a Single-Pak link mode for four players but the gameplay is limited and uneventful. From an unchanging position, the player must cast a line and hope the one fish in the pond bites. There is no indicator regarding the location of this one fish or how to reel it in if […]
Racing quirky toy cars in real life environments. Mario Kart-like weapons. Multiple vehicle types including 4x4s, boats and bikes. And simple top-down gameplay. Man, Micro Machines should have been awesome. Instead, players must compete against wicked load times including needing to restart all connected GBAs if a new track wants to be played. The AI […]
Originally released on Steam, Dark Minute: Kira’s Adventure is a literal dark platformer now available on the Switch eShop. Unfortunately, its main gimmick, platforming in the dark, is just as tedious as it sounds. Through an 8-bit sprite-based visual presentation, the player has sixty seconds to find three energy cells and reach the exit otherwise […]
HunterX is a side-scrolling action platformer Metroidvania although the official description of the game doesn’t specifically call it a “Metroidvania.” It stars and anime high school girl in a school outfit because of course it does. Armed with a katana, some magic, and a dodge roll, it is your job to kill the demons and […]
Bundling two games in one, Flea! and Tapeworm Disco Puzzle, the Parasite Pack is a compilation that fully embraces its namesake. While Flea! is a single-screen get-to-the-other-side platformer and Tapeworm Disco Puzzle is a different take on classic Snake, there is a lot of crossover between these games with cameos and overall presentation. Both games […]
A unique roguelite firefighting platformer, Firegirl Hack’n Splash Rescue DX has an eye catching visual style but the steep difficulty and slow progression can make your rage just as passionate as that burning building. Playing as the daughter of a great fireman, it is your job to douse fires, bust through blocked paths with your […]
Instead of Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker has been placed inside the Crazy Castle and up to 4 players can compete in a 2 minute, boring mini-game of school yard tag. Since this game only uses the D-Pad, there is only stage, and there is no action button (no jump, no attack, no abilites, no collectables, […]

Thunder Kid II: Null Mission is the exact same game as Thunder Kid only with new stage designs, different boss battles, and should have been DLC instead of a whole new game. Just like the original, players move into the screen like Star Fox only it isn’t on rails. Instead, each stage is essentially a […]
A quality and inexpensive compilation, Konami’s GBA arcade cart features a Single-Pak multiplayer option from 4 of the 6 included games: Frogger, Time Pilot, Yie Ar Kung-Fu, and Rush’n Attack. Although the load times are a little longer, each game plays well and features quality, bite-sized fun. Whether working together in Rush’n Attack, doing the […]
