I love the original Game Boy! There are a lot of great games on the Game Boy. There are so many hidden gems in the system’s library that it is hard to narrow them all down. I’m going to try to do that here. I’ll be pulling from the original Game Boy and the GameContinue reading “The 10 Best Game Boy Games | Yokoi Corner”

Final Fantasy Legend II | Yokoi Corner
Final Fantasy Legend II was one of the first Game Boy games I played. At the time, I didn’t know that it was a SaGa game. I’m pretty sure one of my friends told me about the name change later, probably when SaGa Frontier came out. This is a turn-based role-playing game that borrowed someContinue reading “Final Fantasy Legend II | Yokoi Corner”
Ninja Gaiden Worlds of Power #3 by F.X. Nine | Book Review
The Ninja Gaiden book from the Worlds of Power series is a delightful story. I had to look up how closely it follows the plot of the game, and I think the author did a great job. The story is cleaned up a bit, and there is more character development. The changes that were madeContinue reading “Ninja Gaiden Worlds of Power #3 by F.X. Nine | Book Review”
Before Shadowgate Worlds of Power #8 by F.X. Nine | Book Review
Shadowgate is an interesting game and a good subject for a book like this. The original is a graphical adventure game. It is a point-and-click style of game, and it is fun to play from time to time. The Worlds of Power book expands the world of the game. Of the four that I’ve readContinue reading “Before Shadowgate Worlds of Power #8 by F.X. Nine | Book Review”
Super Mario Land | Yokoi Corner
Super Mario Land brought Mario to the Game Boy and did an excellent job of showing people what the system could do. It also expanded on the Super Mario universe. It is a nice game that is similar to other Super Mario games. There are some differences. Because of the limitations of the Game Boy,Continue reading “Super Mario Land | Yokoi Corner”
Wizards & Warriors Worlds of Power #5 by F.X. Nine | Book Review
The Wizards and Warriors book is an exciting story. I don’t think I like this book as much as the other books, even though it does follow the game very closely. I feel like it follows the game to a fault. They find the different items from the game, our heroes run around collecting gemsContinue reading “Wizards & Warriors Worlds of Power #5 by F.X. Nine | Book Review”
Pokemon Crystal | Yokoi Corner
Pokemon Crystal was a game that I missed out on. I missed the second generation of Pokemon games. I’m not sure why I skipped them. Anyway, this is a fun game. If you played the first-generation games (Red, Blue, and Yellow), you would know how to play this one. They did add a few newContinue reading “Pokemon Crystal | Yokoi Corner”
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest Worlds of Power #4 by F.X. Nine | Book Review
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest is one of those games that has gotten a bad reputation over the years. Most of it, in my opinion, comes from the AVGN episode on the game. It isn’t a bad game, but it can be a bit confusing. The Worlds of Power novelization of the game does an excellentContinue reading “Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest Worlds of Power #4 by F.X. Nine | Book Review”
Bubble Bobble | Yokoi Corner
Bubble Bobble is one of the games that I never played until I started collecting games. I liked the NES version of the game and was looking forward to trying this version. On an unrelated note, Bubble Bobble 2 on the Game Boy was cheaper than the NES version when I last checked. This isContinue reading “Bubble Bobble | Yokoi Corner”
Blaster Master Worlds of Power #1 by F.X. Nine | Book Review
This is one of the early books that uses a video game for its narrative. Reading this book made me want to learn what Sunsoft’s initial narrative was. Who was the Blaster Master in the game? Well, in the Japanese version of the game, things are very different. The game’s manual explains that the vehicleContinue reading “Blaster Master Worlds of Power #1 by F.X. Nine | Book Review”
