Split Fiction

• Nintendo-level of pure fun and enjoyment nearly the entire time
• Most puzzles had the difficulty just right and were fun to solve together
• Boss fights were all a lot of fun too. I just really like having fun
• ZOEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

 

Magical Chase (GBC)

Played a translated rom of this game as it was a JP only release

• Light and breezy shmup/cute 'em up which I tend to like since I'm not good enough/have the patience to learn enemy patterns in most shmups
• It was fun using the shop to power up my ship, I mean broomstick
• Genuinely impressive visuals and performance from a GBC game
• Cool bosses
• Sleeping baby

 

 

Operation C

• A legit-ass Contra game on Gameboy. Really wish I had this back when I was a kid
• Hilariously bad jump
   
  
  
  
  

Kirby's Dream Land 2

• Really fun and a big improvement over the original. Tons of creativity packed into a little tiny bitch ass cartridge
• Was pleasantly surprised by the difficulty in some sections
• Is Rick the greatest character in the entire history of video games? Yes.

 

Batman (Gameboy)

• Fun little game. Had way more power ups and weapons than I expected
• Hilarious difficulty spike in final level before final boss. I'm typically not one to use save states in the middle of levels but I made an exception for this one
• Cool shmup levels, probably inspired by Super Mario Land if I had to guess
• Forgot to take a picture of the ending on my Miyoo. I'm really sorry

 

TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan

• Randomly decided to play this among a few other old GB games since they are short and sweet
• A surprisingly decent game. I had fun with the 30 minutes I played
• Great music, especially on a Gameboy. Come to find out it was all made by Michiru Yamane so that checks out
• First game I beat with my baby in my lap

                                             

Final Fantasy XVI

• Huge update for 2025: No longer putting Completed in my titles.
  
• I loved this game a lot and how much of a spectacle it is. Being in awe at times at some of the boss battles and cutscenes reminded me of being a kid and being blown away by the graphics in the PS1 FF titles
• Found myself surprisingly very into the story. Some pretty cool characters
  
• The combat feels amazing and the boss fights are dope as hell
  
• Definitely has some pacing issues/dips in the action. Weak side quests
