A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
things that are happening
I am super excited that Gameboy and Gameboy Color games are now available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. In this stream, me and Gillman browse the launch title as well as the options while I provide some insight as to why I am happy these games are alive once again.
Mixing the vertical shooter mechanics of Space Invaders, complete with a slowly lowering stack of enemies (balloons in this case), and the Match-3 mechanics of many puzzle games, Yogi Bear: Great Balloon Blast is a quality hidden gem on Nintendo’s Gameboy Color. Even better, there are two multiplayer LINK CABLE modes: co-op and vs! Both […]
I recently confirmed that the DS Rumble Pak will work when connected to an Analogue Pocket to play compatible GB/GBC/GBA Rumble Pak enabled games. However, a commenter on that video asked if the DS Lite (aka the SLIM/FLUSH) Rumble Pak will work with an Analogue Pocket. In response to that question, I made this quick […]
Pinky and the Brain: The Master Plan is a simple platformer that has a Single-Pak link multiplayer mode for 4 players. There are 5 stages available but this 2-minute game of Keep-Away is exactly action packed or filled with replay value. It is a simple, mindless distraction at best so fans are better off watching […]
Speedball 2 is essentially NFL Blitz meets soccer only the players use their hands and slide tackles are encouraged. The frame rate isn’t great and the lack of a radar is misleading, but it isn’t the worst Single-Pak linkable experience on GBA even if there are no gameplay options available.
This week, we streamed some Tactics Ogre Reborn. After listening to me praise this game for years (I sank so many hours in the PS1/PSP versions), Gillman decided to pick it up when it was on sale for $35. So as Gillman played through this early level, I pretty much talk about this game for […]
This week, me and Gillman played a couple stages in Kirby and the Forgotten Land on Switch. I played the free demo that is on the eShop and really enjoyed it. This is definitely a game on my “will buy” list as soon as I either find the time or there is a sale, which […]
The final Bomberman title on Gameboy Advance put a bigger focus on the single player offering this time around by including numerous, creative spins on classic Bomberman gameplay that almost plays like a Mario Party title. However, the 1-cartridge multiplayer mode is still pretty fun. There is no mini game between matches this time around […]
The Analogue Pocket does NOT have a built-in rumble motor to support force feedback gameplay. However, thanks to the latest GB/GBC/GBA FPGA cores, the Nintendo DS Rumble Pak can be inserted into the Analogue Pocket cartridge slot to produce force feedback when played with compatible Gameboy games from the SD card! This video explains how […]
Sonic Pinball Party on Gameboy Advance has 3 Single-Pak link multiplayer modes. The first two are fun, fast head-to-head games while the 3rd game is a co-op ladder climb to the top. See them in action here.
