Mostly because the good lot of them are pretty annoying platform games to revisit, boasting some very outdated controls, even for their time. Bart's Nightmare, however, stands out to me.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past is one of the closest things to video game perfection I believe that has ever existed in the medium. The original Zelda was a fascinating title and one of the first pure open world games on home consoles. The sequel, Adventure of Link (often considered the black sheep of the franchise) experimented with a…

While the writing was practically on the wall for the better part of 15 years, one of the juggernauts of the arcade industry finally calls it quits. Once popular hangout and tourist spots throughout the 80's and 90's, arcades saw a general decline around the late 90's as home gaming became more robust and in demand. Due to the pandemic, in-person…

Marvel's mutants are no strangers here to Retro Reboot. I've looked over some of their highs and lows from the 8-bit and 16-bit bit era of gaming (Arcade's Revenge may be a Spider-Man themed game, but it counts, and that game is cheeks), their appearance in Capcom fighting games, and some tough-as-nails action platformers. It's time to move the clock…

Giving credit where it's due, Nintendo has done a consistent job of enhancing the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pack with regularly scheduled updates that have almost felt monthly now. They certainly have responded in kind to the criticism of the pack's initial rollout by adding some classics, and another one (subjectively speaking) will be heading there in…

A game I never even had a chance to see in arcades, Splatterhouse is a franchise that established a controversial legacy for its unapologetic violence, leading to many of its home ports being censored a few years before Night Trap and Mortal Kombat sent the government explaining how vidja games are set to ruin a generation's brains. As mentioned, I…

HAL Laboratory's latest Kirby adventure will launch on the Nintendo Switch in 2022. This will be Kirby's seventeenth mainline entry in the series. With the camera angle and scope of the game, it looks like it's borrowed some liberties from Super Mario 3D Worlds, and the first Kirby game to be a full 3D platformer. Kirby must help rescue Waddle Dees…

If there's one game on the platform that nips at its heels, or is strongly considered being better, is the game that put the studio Rare on the map, Donkey Kong Country. With its plethora of hidden puzzles, warps,…
