The Single-Pak linkable mini games found in Sonic Battle have a lot going against it: 4 of the 5 games must be unlocked by grinding the single player campaign, all the GBAs including the host must be restarted each time, and none of this games are particularly any fun. The Minesweeper clone isn’t necessarily entertaining […]
This week, me and Gillman play through some of Ravenlok because it is a newly released game on Xbox GamePass. Although it begins as a slow paced adventure game, it eventually turns into a fast action RPG with brutal combat. Playing as a little boy, you are transported to a new world by getting sucked […]
Robopon 2 was available in 2 versions – Ring and Cross. Both versions featured the same Single-Pak Link multiplayer mode that supports 4 players in real time. Mixing a slide puzzle with classic Pipe Dream, the goal is to guide a moving skull to your opponent to cause damage. It isn’t the best game, as […]
Simple 2960 Tomodachi Series Vol. 1: The Table Game Collection is the first of 4 Volumes and features 4 Single-Pak linkable multiplayers games: Mahjong, Othello, Shogi, and Hanafuda. Unfortunately, you need to restart all GBAs if you want to switch games and English speakers will have a tough time with 3 of these 4 games.
Simple 2960 Tomodachi Series Vol. 3: The Itsudemo Puzzle features a Single-Pak link multiplayer mode that supports 4 players.

Did you know the Shin Megami series has a block pushing puzzle game? And this GBA puzzle game has a race-to-the-finish Single-Pak link mode that supports 4 players? While it lacks options and there are only a couple dozen puzzles available, the short time you’ll send with a linked friend will be pretty fun while […]
This week, Gillman and I play some Mugen Souls on Switch which is a re-release of the PS3/PC original.
Translated to Tea Puppy, Ochaken no Heya mixes Animal Crossing and Nintendogs around a card game compilation. The Single-Pak link mode is thoughtfully designed as the linked players can play any of the 6 available games without needing to restart the GBAs. Also, there are freaking puppies with tea leaves as ears!
