A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES

Like Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland, Kirby And The Amazing Mirror features 3 multiplayer mini games through the use of a single cartridge. The Single-Pak link games here also only use one button (not even the d-pad) and are timing based making it pick-up-and-playable for anyone. The multi-boot mode works a little better here as opposed […]
Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland contains 3 mini games that are playable for up to four players using only game pak. Each one of these Single-Pak linkable games only use the “A” button (not even the d-pad) and are reaction based. Since each game is simple to control and understand, anyone can play and enjoy. Be […]
NASCAR Heat 2002 has a lot in common with Crawfish’s other licensed game, Driven. Meaning, it is a boring multiplayer option that lacks options. Without any special features, abilities, or replay value, it unfortunately isn’t worth connecting link cables and going through the hassle. The racing cars also look like taxi cabs and the collision […]
N64 games are now available to play on Nintendo Switch through the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack service ($50/year). Although the current roster of games is a good start, I would like to see some additional games make their way onto this online service. This video quickly touches on 10 (well, technically 11 but who […]
Driven, not to be confused with Driver, is a GBA movie tie-in that coincided with the release of Sly Stallone’s redemption racing movie that no one saw. Although 4 players can race from one game pak, the lack of options and special features will leave a giant skid mark on your GBA.
Puyo Pop (2002) on GBA has one of the best Single-Pak linkable mutliplayer options on the system. Puyo Puyo is always a good time and basically the whole game is here through the use of one game pak and some link cables. This video demonstrates this quality multi-boot option.
Frogger’s Adventures 2: The Lost Wand on Nintendo’s Gameboy Advance supports the single pak link multi-boot mode for up to 4 players from one game pak. Uniquely, it actually offers 3 different mini games available through the use of one game cartridge: Balloon, Reverse Tag, and Race. All of which are demonstrated in this video.
Mixing really well done 2D sprites with a 3D environment supported by shifting camera angles, Firegirl is unique not only for its visual style but also its gameplay premise. We played through the first few stages to demonstrate this newly released gameplay.
Nintendo’s CLASSIC NES SERIES GBA port of Dr. Mario supports multiplayer with two players through one game pak. All the options found in the NES original are here including the two different tunes and the ability to adjust starting difficulty and speed. Too bad the controls are laggy through. This video simply demonstrates this Multi-boot […]
Yes, this is a real game and is made by the same guy who made Soda Drinker Pro, another really obscure first person soda drinking game. For reference, here is my Soda Drinker Pro (Xbox One version) review from 2016. Me and Gillman play through the opening week to see what exactly is happening in […]
