Game Boy Works #121: Power Racer & Painter Momopie
🕑 Added 2020-10-21 13:00:00 +0000 UTCAs promised (?), my actual video publishing schedule has shifted very slightly from the Q4 preview I posted a few weeks back. Although the content hasn't changed, the order has... in this case, I realized we could use a (1) Game Boy episode and (2) something a little lighter and quippier amidst all the more straightforward historic coverage that's been showing up here lately. Which isn't to say this isn't a legit episode or anything, but the games under examination here are awfully simplistic, so there was a little more room to poke around at the edges of the topic.

That tease at the end for SaGa 2 has me all kinds of excited! I recently played it for the first time (after playing Makai Toushi SaGa for the first time, as well) and was really surprised at just how good it is. As a long time watcher and reader of your work, Jeremy, I figured it was time to sign up here as well! I look forward to all the future content.

Even stranger is that one of the first third party games for the Mark III was a Japan-only arcade port of Rygar by a publisher that may or may not have been Tecmo using a front company like with Konami and Ultra Games. But yeah, SEGA games on Game Boy at the same time in Japan as the Game Gear is unusual. Momopie looks like quality stuff (also decided to up my tier from $2 to $6 today. )
