The Wars series is one of Nintendo’s more interesting series of games. These are turn-based strategy games that are more cartoonish than other strategy games. They also work exceptionally well on consoles and handhelds. Advance Wars was my first experience with the series. For some reason, Nintendo didn’t bring the earlier entries to North America.Continue reading “Advance Wars: One of the best GBA games | Yokoi Corner”

Superman on Game Boy is Odd | Yokoi Corner
Have you ever wondered what would happen if the developers of Superman on the N64 made a Game Boy game? Well, it would be just as terrible, but for different reasons. Superman on the Game Boy is about what you would expect. It is a side-scrolling game with you playing a stupid version of theContinue reading “Superman on Game Boy is Odd | Yokoi Corner”
GoldenEye by Alyse Knorr, One of the Best books from Boss Fight Books | Book Review
GoldenEye is one of the games that I remember most for its multiplayer mode. The game was huge in the late 90s and was one of the games that my friends and I constantly played. Before reading this book, I didn’t know much about the game’s development or the James Bond video games. Alyse doesContinue reading “GoldenEye by Alyse Knorr, One of the Best books from Boss Fight Books | Book Review”
Yoshi’s Cookie is too easy, but fun | Yokoi Corner
Yoshi’s Cookie is an easy game, maybe too easy. It works well for the Game Boy, where you are trying to waste some time, but it would be disappointing on a console. I have played it on the NES and thought it was fine. Not full price fine, but acceptable as a used game IContinue reading “Yoshi’s Cookie is too easy, but fun | Yokoi Corner”
Koei’s NES Games Retrospective
Koei is a fascinating company! Established in 1978, it made many fantastic and strange games. At least weird for me as I only know them for their historical simulation and Dynasty Warriors games. When I look at their library now, I see the franchises that sparked my interest in history and storytelling. I remember findingContinue reading “Koei’s NES Games Retrospective”
Yoshi is fun but lacks a lot | Yokoi Corner
Yoshi is an interesting puzzle game. It is a match-two game that uses enemies from the Mario Bros games as its game pieces. It is a nice take on the falling block genre of games. This isn’t as good as Tetris, Dr. Mario, or even Yoshi’s Cookie. However, Yoshi is a fun little game thatContinue reading “Yoshi is fun but lacks a lot | Yokoi Corner”
The Disappointing Wizards and Warriors X | Yokoi Corner
Wizards and Warriors is one of those games that is either a classic or a forgettable rental from the early 90s. I remember renting the first game when I was little and collecting the second game in high school. I had no idea that there was a Game Boy game. I was looking forward toContinue reading “The Disappointing Wizards and Warriors X | Yokoi Corner”
The Best Collection of TMNT Games | Review
There is so much in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Cowabunga Collection! I have great memories of playing many of the games, and I’m glad they’re all in one place, especially with how ridiculously overpriced some of them are. Digital Eclipse put together the TMNT games from the SNES, NES, Game Boy, Sega Genesis, andContinue reading “The Best Collection of TMNT Games | Review”
Bubble Bobble 2, Should have been better | Yokoi Corner
If you like Bubble Bobble, then you will like Bubble Bobble 2. Well, it’s actually called Bubble Bobble part 2, but I will keep calling it Bubble Bobble 2. It is essentially the same game but has a story to it. Does the story matter? No, it doesn’t. However, it is nice to have itContinue reading “Bubble Bobble 2, Should have been better | Yokoi Corner”
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening | Yokoi Corner
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is one of the best retro games. I think it is probably the best game on the original Game Boy. I have many memories of playing this game while on car trips and traveling to wrestling meets. This was one of the games that I borrowed from a friendContinue reading “The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening | Yokoi Corner”
