I'm in love with an 8-bit GameBoy game.

Post by Falco Girgis »

Okay, no more denying my sincere affection for this new game. It all started just the other day when my little brother walked to Rhino Games with a bit of money.

He bought a game, not just any game, but the most damn respectable GameBoy title I've ever seen--The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.

He brought it home and played it for a few hours. Then, he randomly decides that he hates it and that he'd like to do anything for Kirby's Tilt 'n' Tumble. I'd never really seen the game before, so I decided that I'd have a look before he made the exchange.

I bend over and look at his GameBoy screen and....

O
MY
GOD

It was truly love at first site. I went so far to trade him a $30 Gameboy Advance game for it. I don't care who you are, but you have to get this game. I've never felt so ... content with a GameBoy game. I'm less than 1/4 the way through it and I still love it that much...

If you're playing the DX version and you beat it without having any game overs, you get a slightly altered ending. And speaking of the ending, you'd better have a box of tissues nearby, because it's extremely emotionally powerful.
No.

You won't need the DX version to get the altered ending.
At least not if we're thinking about the same tiny change of the last scene.

Oh god I love that game. I beat it when I was in like 3rd grade. It took me forever though because I wasn't too good. Then I lost it along with 6 golden coinz and many others. But, I walked into my local game retailer about a week ago and they had a copy, so I decided to re-purchase the glory. I am currently at the gay part where you have to find 5 golden leaves. It sux!!! XD
You are better than me.
