Nintendo recently had one of their Directs where they showed off the trailers for a few new games. One of them stood out to me. It looked like a revival of the 1990s beat’em ups from Konami, Capcom, Data East, and Sega. A Retro ’90s beat’em up. Marvel Cosmic Invasion is from the same studioContinue reading “Marvel Cosmic Invasion, A 90s Inspired Beat’em Up”

Let’s Compare Final Fantasy 1 to Phantasy Star 1
I’ve been in a little bit of a funk lately. I’ve been struggling to get into an RPG to write about, and I thought about some of the ones I’ve played a few times. Instead of doing individual reviews, I compared the games in three series: Phantasy Star, Dragon Quest, and Final Fantasy. For theContinue reading “Let’s Compare Final Fantasy 1 to Phantasy Star 1”
WWF Raw is Awful on the Game Boy
We’re going to be looking at the Game Boy port of WWF Raw. This is one of the LJN games that started on the SNES and Sega Genesis before coming to Nintendo’s handheld. I’ll be playing it on a Retron 5 for this review. I don’t have high hopes for this game. I didn’t likeContinue reading “WWF Raw is Awful on the Game Boy”
Ring Rage Looks Terrible on the Game Boy
Ring Rage is pretty terrible. It looks horrible, and the gameplay isn’t that good. This caused me to look a little deeper. The Game Boy game is an awful port of an arcade game released in 1992 by Taito. There were a lot of changes made to the game. I have no idea if theContinue reading “Ring Rage Looks Terrible on the Game Boy”
WWF Warzone on the Game Boy is Awful
I’m a little surprised that a Game Boy port of WWF Warzone exists. I’m not expecting it to be close to the PS1 and N64 versions of the game. Hopefully, it will be an entertaining experience. This game was released in 1998, which was very late in the Game Boy’s life. This means the developersContinue reading “WWF Warzone on the Game Boy is Awful”
Rampage on the NES is an Awesome Arcade Port
Rampage is one of the first NES games I remember renting. I thought it was about Godzilla and King Kong; I was also six and couldn’t read the game description. This is an arcade game, and knowing the plot isn’t important. As a kid who was into giant monster movies, I found this to beContinue reading “Rampage on the NES is an Awesome Arcade Port”
WWF King of the Ring on Game Boy
WWF King of the Ring was ported to the Game Boy, and it is a very rough game. I’m one of the few people who likes the NES game, and the Game Boy port is not as good. The controls aren’t as good, and the graphics are hit-and-miss. This version of the game has fewerContinue reading “WWF King of the Ring on Game Boy”
WWF Superstars 2 is an Disappointing Game Boy Game
WWF Superstars 2 is a Game Boy exclusive released in 1992 by LJN. Yes, I know that having the LJN logo on it means the game might be terrible, but I will keep an open mind. Not everything you hear or read on the internet is true, and I have stumbled across a few goodContinue reading “WWF Superstars 2 is an Disappointing Game Boy Game”
WWF Superstars is an Average Game Boy Game
WWF Superstars was released by LJN in 1991. It is a Game Boy exclusive and one of the few wrestling games available on the handheld. I had never played this game before, and it is what I was expecting from a handheld wrestling game from 1991. TLDR: This is a decent handheld wrestling game. NarrativeContinue reading “WWF Superstars is an Average Game Boy Game”
WCW Main Event on the Game Boy is Fun
There are a few wrestling games on the Game Boy. Some are exclusive to the handheld, and others are inferior ports of console games. WCW Main Event is one of the exclusives. I’ve never played this game before, so I don’t have any idea what I’m getting into here. My first impressions of the gameContinue reading “WCW Main Event on the Game Boy is Fun”
