A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
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. However, it took a few attempts to get this feature to work. If it doesn’t work for you, keep resetting until it finally takes. […]
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 […]
The Chromatic handheld is a new Gameboy Color released by a 3rd party called ModRetro. 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 […]
Army Men 2 features two 2-player link cable vs modes: deathmatch and CTF.This GBC sequel also acts as the precursor to the technically impressive GBA sequel and that game’s Single-Pak link multiplayer mode.
Magical Drop on Gameboy Color has a 2-player link cable VS mode but it doesn’t actually do anything – pointless.
Austin Powers: Oh, Behave! and Austin Powers: Welcome to My Underground Lair! feature interchangeable 2-player link cable mini games. One is a digital way to play Rock, Paper, Scissors and the other is an Othello clone. Plus, players can swap text message using the GBC’s IR Port. Those text messages can also be printed using […]
When the Gameboy Color version of Perfect Dark is connected to the N64 game via the Transfer Pak, four cheats become unlocked. The coolest part is this Transfer Pak functionality was adopted into the Xbox and Switch Online ports too. See it here.
WWF Betrayal on Gameboy Color isn’t actually a wresting game; it is a side scrolling brawler!There are four wrestlers but they all have the same moves and awesome manly strutting walk. The animation is fluid, as is expected for a Wayforward game, but there is only a punch and kick. No super moves or anything. […]
