Though it is now locked up for safe keeping in my fire safe, my Famicon GB Micro got a lot of play during that particular phase of life. I used to play the Metroid GBA games on lunch breaks at a previous job. Yes, those map screens were REALLY tough to read on such a small screen, but I rather enjoyed the more compact form factor that I could keep in my pocket (and ALWAYS within the soft black satchel it came with). It is still in great condition and I still have the retail box it came in. About a year later, I did purchase a second-hand GBA SP AGS-101 which I would agree is the very best, most comfortable to play GB iteration of all. However, when it comes to sheer beauty, the metallic Famicon micro is king! I'm looking forward to the similarly styled Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch.
@SepticLemon Thanks for the info! Yeah, sounds like a great idea to wait for them to release the patch that strips out the Bethesda registration requirement. If more people do that, we’ll be speaking with our wallets and communicating this type of DRM stuff is a bad idea. I just don’t believe it was an accident that it was released with it.
By the way, I would highly recommend the 4-book series of Doom novels based roughly on the games (at least what little story existed back in 1995 when the first book was written) by Dafydd an Hugh and Brad Linaweaver. I’ve been meaning to re-read them (this will be the 3rd-4th time) so I’ll use this surprise announcement as a sign that now is the time again!
@SepticLemon Great, thanks for the quick answer! I might have to pick these up. The perfect type of game to play while watching TV... especially with cheats enabled!
Does anyone know if these ports have cheats available? Like God-mode and instant access to all weapons?
Though I wish the Switch had a trophy/achievement system, I will admit that it is freeing knowing I can cheat in Switch versions of games without having the trophies disabled on me.
