Super B-Daman: Battle Phoenix 64 (N64) is Transfer Pak compatible with Super B-Daman: Fighting Phoenix on Gameboy. The marbles unlocked in the GB game can be uploaded to the N64 version. These marble can unlock cosmetic changes, like modifying the color/picture/tune of the menu screens, or can buff the player during the shooting gallery stages. […]
The Japanese version of Transformers: Beast Wars Metals 64 is Transfer Pak compatible with Kettou Transformers Beast Wars: Beast Senshi Saikyou Ketteisen, another Japan-exclusive Gameboy Color counterpart. When connected, the Megatron X skin becomes unlocked. Also, if any other GB cart is inserted upon boot up, a bonus perk might be awarded to the player […]
Rampage World Tour is the first Rampage title for Gameboy Color but it sadly omitted an official 2-player link cable co-op mode. However, the developers started this feature and left this option hidden in the final built. By entering a secret code on the main menu (hold SELECT, then hit UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, DOWN, […]
Mario Tennis and Mario Golf on N64 and Gameboy Color were developed by Camelot. This forward thinking developer included Transfer Pak functionality in these sports titles but Mario Golf has one unfortunate downside of connecting the console version to the handheld version, one misstep that was corrected with Mario Tennis. Mario Golf was the first […]
Mickey’s Speedway USA (N64) is Transfer Pak compatible with the Gameboy Color version of the same name. When the GBC cart is inserted into the TP, Huey becomes a playable racer.

Loony Toons: Marvin Strikes Back has three link cable multiplayer mini games: Simon Says, Rock/Paper/Scissors, and a Fallguys-clone. These games are pretty awful, have low presentation values, and do not even have sound or music. Which makes me think they were tacked on right before the game shipped or the devs ran out of time […]
Disney’s The Lion King: Simba’s Mighty Adventure is a forgotten Gameboy Color sequel (also a version on PS1) that features a pointless and nearly broken 2-player link cable mode. The linked TAG option is a race to hold a star for 2 minutes longer than your opponent. But Nala has the advantage as her Start […]
When the Gameboy Color version of Mario Tennis is connected to the N64 version via the Transfer Pak, data can be swapped and new content gets unlocked. Sadly, the Transfer Pak functionality was removed from the Switch Online version of Mario Tennis on N64… but there is a reason why the GBC characters were not […]

This handheld gaming system has all the features of Nintendo’s original device but with some nifty backlit screen options. Adding value to the $200 price point, ModRetro also includes their own officially licensed version of Tetris. Unfortunately, the multiplayer mode […]
