Make Your Own Mon-Yu ⊟
Make Your Own Mon-Yu ⊟ Hi, everyone! It’s been… four months?! since the last Tiny Cartridge post, which was about a toilet game, and I’ve been dragged out of de facto retirement for an equally important reason. And that reason is Mon-Yu: Defeat Monsters And Gain Strong Weapons…

Wonder Boy, Bust a Move, New Zealand Story today⊟ Hey y'all, it’s been a while, as evidenced by my trying to spell “Tumblr” with an O while logging in. Tomblr. Tumblor. Toumblro. Anyway I’m back with more old games on Switch. It’s becoming my brand and I’m ok with that. Today’s…

I’m a fool for not already being hyped for SpiderHeck ⊟ I’ve gotten a few press releases for SpiderHeck from publisher TinyBuild, but such has been my Situation recently that I made a point to get back to them and then, I don’t know, gone to deal with the toilet that fell apart…

There’s a new Puzzle Bobble and it’s very important ⊟ Don’t just take it from me, the person who drinks coffee from a Bubble Bobble mug every morning and is on stage 1174 (oh no) of Bub’s Puzzle Blast, a game I only found by accident while looking for a new Bust a Move/Puzzle…

Publishers old and new bring me games old and old ⊟
Publishers old and new bring me games old and old ⊟ One of the most weirdly unlikely domino-meme developments recently is the one that starts with THQ’s bankruptcy in 2012 and ends with me playing a Sunsoft Famicom game from 1992 on my Switch. But that’s basically what happened?…

Romance of the three Kunios today ⊟
Romance of the three Kunios today ⊟ Put me on record as a Kunio Liker (actually, I guess across over a decade of writing, I have put myself on said record dozens of times) and my favorite development of late has been the Weird Alternate Kunio. Take the River City Ransom crew and…

Cool DIY Super Famicom kit turned into cooler mini-TV kit ⊟ I’m pretty impressed with Columbus Circle’s barebones DIY kits, basically just clone Super Famicoms or Famicoms without cases. You can then put it into whatever container you can imagine, like this toaster! What…

A match made in the eShop ⊟
A match made in the eShop ⊟ I don’t know much about Why pizza? the “platformer, physics puzzle and delivery job simulator at the same time.” The visuals are somewhere between “intriguing” and “deeply off-putting,” and it looks challenging in a QWOP/marionette kind of way, and I…

Are you the absolute maniac who will buy Bob with no Bub ⊟
Are you the absolute maniac who will buy Bob with no Bub ⊟ I don’t think such a person exists, yet First Press is selling plushes of the player 2 Bubble Bobble character separately from the more well-known Bub . Nothing against Bob, and in fact I prefer the blue color, but I…

What if you… listened to Retronauts this week ⊟
What if you… listened to Retronauts this week ⊟ I don’t need to tell you this, since the Venn diagram of Tiny readers and Retronauts listeners is probably one tiny Tiny circle inside another much larger circle, but what’s the point of having a website if I can’t use it to brag…

Taito Milestones out April 15 ⊟
Taito Milestones out April 15 ⊟ I’ve been obsessive about retro compilations on Switch recently. I want to gobble them all up. Even so, I’m unconvinced about Taito Milestones, the collection of 10 mostly ancient, mostly historically interesting arcade games. Without knowing a…

Give me all the PC Engine ports ⊟
Give me all the PC Engine ports ⊟ When Moto Roader originally came out on Turbografx-16, it totally failed to get my attention, my brain just filing it away in the “sports games I’m not interested in” category next to Takin’ it to the Hoop. But now, with the benefit of time, I…
