This time out we’ll be looking exclusively at original Gameboy titles that Nintendo has slipped out over the last two weeks. There are two bonifide Gameboy classics now available that gave a pair of Nintendo mascots games worthy of their names. First up is the first ever Wario-based adventure Warioland: Super Mario Land 3. The evil Mario was invented for Nintendo’s first handheld and his first solo outing (after serving duties as a Bowser stand-in in Mario Land 2) is strong enough that it’s easy to see why the company kept him around. Next up was the Kid Icarus sequel Kid Icarus: Of Myths And Monsters that actually topped the NES original and was the last outing for Pitt until his recent 3DS resurrection.
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 was the first to feature Wario as the main lead. Take a look back at the first Wario Land for Game Boy.
Retrovolve: "The reason Wario Land has always been so alluring for me is because it essentially lets you play as an evil version of Mario."
Half-Glass Gaming: "Production of the 3DS has been discontinued as of September of 2020, but there’s definitely an argument to be made for adopting the system in 2021, especially if you just really like playing awesome video games."
