Garō Densetsu Special (Super Nintendo - Takara - 1995 - JPN) Lately, I’ve been looking for SNK’s fighting games adaptations on Super Nintendo. But given the fact that the European versions are slower, I exceptionally am looking for the Japanese versions. Fatal Fury Special is notoriously downgraded in the PAL version, having less memory and missing characters, because… reasons. Anyway, it’s a decent conversion of a great game. ____________________ #gamesarchive #videogames #games #retrogaming #retrogamer #gaming #collection #vintage #retrocollection #gamingmemories #retrocollectibles #videogames #video #arcade #pixel #pixels #console #japan #oldgames #gameroom #recalbox #nintendo #supernintendo #superfamicom #snes #eshop #ds #fatalfury #garoudensetsu #special #snk https://www.instagram.com/p/CRpLfmYH2U_/?utm_medium=tumblr

1080° Avalanche (GameCube - Nintendo - 2003 - FRA) It took me some time to understand how to play and to enjoy this game. It doesn’t play like its predecessor at all, and the tricks mechanic is not as destructive for the analog sticks as before, which is fine. The game is overall ok but it suffers from a lack of content and tracks: for instance there is just only one snow park. I definitely think that the N64 episode is superior, but you can have a good time with this one. ____________________ #gamesarchive #videogames #games #retrogaming #retrogamer #gaming #collection #vintage #retrocollection #gamingmemories #retrocollectibles #videogames #video #arcade #pixel #pixels #console #japan #oldgames #gameroom #recalbox #nintendo #gamecube #ngc #gc #dolphin #minidvd #1080 #avalanche #snowboard https://www.instagram.com/p/B7yt6NMoUlG/?igshid=1ehvxpesiu8nw

WipeOut 64 (Nintendo 64 - Psygnosis - 1998 - EUR) 🌟 I remember being blown away by WipeOut when it first came out on PlayStation. This game represented everything I was into at the time, such as techno music, cyberpunk and crazy graphic design by The Designer Republic. Its sequel was even better, and I was so jealous not to be able to play a WipeOut game on my N64 (I didn’t have a Playstation at the time). When WipeOut 64 finally came out, I had mixed feelings: it looked less cool on N64, the menu design was less appealing and without being on a CD, the music’s quality and selection wasn’t as revolutionary. But the game shines in the gameplay department, with the analog stick finally making WipeOut playable at high speed: it’s more precise and even the stiffest ships are fun to play. It took me some time to realize that all the race tracks of WipeOut 64 are reused from the two previous installment, with just a new coat of paint and a mirrored. I’ve spent hours in the challenge mode to get all the gold medals and boy that was tough. The cherry on the cake is the multiplayer mode, far more convenient to set up than the PlayStation versions. A personal favorite. ____________________ #gamesarchive #videogames #games #retrogaming #retrogamer #gaming #collection #vintage #retrocollection #gamingmemories #retrocollectibles #videogames #video #arcade #pixel #pixels #console #japan #oldgames #gameroom #recalbox #nintendo #nintendo64 #n64 #64bits #ultra64 #wipeout #wipeout64 #wipeout2097 #psygnosis https://www.instagram.com/p/B19NnDFobbU/?igshid=arj5aaxo3hwm

Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise (Switch - Rising Star Game - 2020 - FRA) Once again, I found this in a bargain bin and took it, even though I heard it had technical issues. The first game in the serie had quite a reputation for being weird and vaguely inspired by Lynch’s work, so I bought it too on the eShop. My goal here is to finish the first installment before playing its sequel. ____________________ #gamesarchive #videogames #games #retrogaming #retrogamer #gaming #collection #vintage #retrocollection #gamingmemories #retrocollectibles #videogames #video #arcade #pixel #pixels #console #japan #oldgames #gameroom #recalbox #nintendo #switch #nintendoswitch #deadlypremonition #deadlypremonition2 #risingstargame https://www.instagram.com/p/CnfFep2oJMY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Trials of Mana (Switch - Square Enix - 2020 - FRA) I still have to complete the original one on SNES before starting this one… Or should I jump straight into it? ____________________ #gamesarchive #videogames #games #retrogaming #retrogamer #gaming #collection #vintage #retrocollection #gamingmemories #retrocollectibles #videogames #video #arcade #pixel #pixels #console #japan #oldgames #gameroom #recalbox #nintendo #switch #nintendoswitch #square #squareenix #trialofmana #seikendensetsu https://www.instagram.com/p/CncDolKI7Aa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy (Switch - SNK - 2018 - FRA) I had mixed feelings about this game. In one hand I wanted to try this new fighting game, and one the other hand I am more than reserved about female character representation here. But when I saw multiple copies of this game lying in the bargain bin, I didn’t have a second thought and bought it. Was it wrong? ____________________ #gamesarchive #videogames #games #retrogaming #retrogamer #gaming #collection #vintage #retrocollection #gamingmemories #retrocollectibles #videogames #video #arcade #pixel #pixels #console #japan #oldgames #gameroom #recalbox #nintendo #switch #nintendoswitch #snk #heroines #kof https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZ3JqNoCJ6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mario + The Lapins Crétins: Kingdom Battle (Switch - Ubisoft - 2017 - FRA) Got it to get prepared for Sparks of Hope, but haven’t still took the time to even boot the game. The sad routine of a backlog game. ____________________ #gamesarchive #videogames #games #retrogaming #retrogamer #gaming #collection #vintage #retrocollection #gamingmemories #retrocollectibles #videogames #video #arcade #pixel #pixels #console #japan #oldgames #gameroom #recalbox #nintendo #switch #nintendoswitch #ubisoft #mario #lapinscretins #kingdombattle https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFx-mGI9ji/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection (Switch - Konami - 2022 - FRA) I’ve never been a fan of the turtles. I guess I was already too old for that when it came out in France, or so I thought: it looked and sounded so silly. Out of the marketing barrage that flooded us back then, it was impossible to ignore the video games adaptations… They were everywhere! Most of my friends got one game or another, so I could try them for myself without buying one. And you know what? Most of them were pretty good, and not the typical cash grab that I would expect from it. Tournament Fighters on SNES is even one of my favorite game on the console! This collection got the major games from the arcade/8/16 bits and it’s pretty neat to have them all in one single package, especially when you see the price of their original releases nowadays. A great deal, even without the nostalgia attached.. ____________________ #gamesarchive #videogames #games #retrogaming #retrogamer #gaming #collection #vintage #retrocollection #gamingmemories #retrocollectibles #videogames #video #arcade #pixel #pixels #console #japan #oldgames #gameroom #recalbox #nintendo #switch #nintendoswitch #konami #tmnt #teenagemutantninjaturtles #snes #nes https://www.instagram.com/p/CnALNIeIDJu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
