I was going to write about my impressions of Earthbound after playing through it, but then I remembered my journey and experiences while trying to get this game. So this will be split up into 2 sections, the first will be about how I was introduced to the game and how I finally got my hands on it; the second part will focus on my impressions of the game after I beat it. I’ll try not to reveal too much for people who haven’t played it. So without further ado, let’s begin my story of my experience with the video game world of Earthbound. Read more »

Oooo, finally? FINALLY? One of my favorite games of all time comes to the Wii U Virtual Console today for only THIRTY cents. That is a better deal than I could EVER ask for, so naturally I downloaded it and threw up impressions of my first 15 minutes with the game! Check it out and start backflipping in excitement!

With great power comes great responsibility. My Wii U is clearly powerful enough to run a 23 year old game, so let’s see how it holds up!

I’m going to start this thing off by creating my Profile Picture for GAretro.com!
I decided to go the route of facial molestation, the ultimate homage to my favorite retro games. The characters in this image are from titles I most likely clocked more hours playing than I did sleeping in my younger years. Can you name the titles I’m referring to?
P.S. It’s only AFTER I create this image that I realize the 80×80 version looks like unrecognizable blobs attached to an unrecognizable face. I will wear this badge with shame! Until I create a new one, that is!

Brain Lord. The title alone says it all. Except for the bit about there seemingly being no connection to anything in the game. You’re a warrior whose father goes off to meet with a dragon, and then time skip forward, you’re fully grown and following in his footsteps. This SNES game gets right to the action, sending you to a dungeon under the pretense of collecting a dragon scale. And so begins the adventure of your character, in this case, named Balls.

Hey gamers! I am here today once again to tell you what’s going on over at the GAretro youtube page, and boy, do I have a treat for you, my friends! Rex Ronan: Experimental Surgeon for the Super Nintendo is the perfect combination of Contra and health class (FINALLY!). Join the GAretro crew as we learn about all of the dangers of smoking cigarettes; such as: yellow teeth, black lungs, and robots in your mouth. This is truly a unique game to say the least. Lined up for the rest of this week, I have more Mario Kart and Sonic videos for you, so make sure to check back regularly. That’s all for now- so until we meet again, keep leveling up!
