Super Space Invaders is one of the few Game Gear titles to offer 2-player co-op by using the Gear-to-Gear link cable. Co-op is just like the single player game but Space Invaders is always the most fun in multiplayer. This forgotten sequel also sits right in-between the original arcade version and the Extreme series (DS/PSP). […]
Batman: The Brave And The Bold, The Video Game (2010) are forgotten Wii and Nintendo DS brawlers developed by WayForward. These neglected beat’em ups have a unique feature – the DS version can be linked with the Wii version in real time. When connected, the DS player controls the BatMite using the stylus to drop […]

By using a special link cable, Nintendo’s Gameboy Advance can communicate with a Gamecube. Sometimes content get unlocked. Sometimes additional features become available. Sometimes you need a corresponding GBA game. Sometimes you just need an empty GBA. Honestly, it was a pretty cool feature, but it got overlooked and went under appreciated. It was released […]
Columns, as well as the Game Gear, was a direct response to Nintendo’s Gameboy and Tetris. Although the imitation attempt is admirable, Columns isn’t anything special but multiplayer mode if the most fun option on this cartridge. However, the Gear-To-Gear Game Gear link cable was sold separately so chances are, most people never played this […]
Pac-Man on Game Gear is basically the exact same game as the original Gameboy version but with color. The best part about this arcade classic is the 2-player multiplayer link cable mode… the mode you never played for yourself. Instead of simply aiming for a high score like in the single player mode, any ghosts […]
The Game Gear version of Bubble Bobble has special feature most handheld iterations lack – two player co-op support through the use of the link cable.
