This list has been a long time coming. All these years this now almost defunct website has been out, we have been playing indie co-op games on the Switch, and now finally I sit my ass down and write down our thoughts after almost 9 years playing on the Switch 1. Of course we haven’t played ALL indie co-op games on the Switch, now that the gaming scene has exploded they way it has. It would be impossible. We still played most games we feel are somewhat high profile with the focus of the website in mind that it is a 8-64bit retro focused site. Enjoy!
Nintendo 64 was the system we never owned as kids. We became Play Station guys for that generation so most of our childhood N64 experiences were multiplayer ones, but we have played most of the best single player games on the system through the years. I have a modest N64 collection now (pictured above) and I play the original system on a CRT or on a Retrotink 4k CE. The N64 is notorious for blurriness and all LCD and older scaler experiences were not very good. The Retrotink 4k’s CRT filter is a godsend for the system. Other good options include a HDMI mod and FPGAs like the analogue 3D Anyway, here is our top 10 N64 games of all time!
Warriors of Fate or “Tenchi wo Warau II: Sekiheki no Tatakai” is another classic arcade co-op beat ’em up port by Capcom not much different from it’s predecessors; Final Fight, King of Dragons and Knights of the Round, but like all these games Warriors of Fate does something special that sets it apart from the others.
Set in ancient China, the not so important story follows the 5 unique playable character’s quest in saving an evil emperor from uniting China under one terrible banner. Needless to say this is done by beating up hundreds of henchmen jerks and their bosses. UPDATE! NOW THE ARCADE VERSION IS AVAILABLE ON THE SWITCH ESHOP!

Holy crap it’s a new classic Castlevania! Well, actually it’s not really a Castlevania game but a spiritual successor. This is Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, a prequel game of the kickstarted Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night developed by Inti Creates and overseen by IGA the director of legendary game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and of course the director of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
I have been waiting for a game like this for over a decade, settling for Castlevania romhacks and perhaps some indie games in the meantime. Inti Creates is responsible for some great games like the Mega Man Zero series and the Gunvolt games, but they also worked on Mighty nr.9….. eeks….
I played the game in normal mode and nightmare mode partly at first but now I have done 100% of the game and can give you a complete score review. Continue reading In depth Review – Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon (Switch 2018)→
My 2 and 4 year old nephews are obsessed with Jungle Book right now. My parents’ house is filled with Jungle Book related books, DVDs and toys so it is only natural that I was reminded of the platformer classic for the Sega Mega/Genesis. Before this review I hadn’t played the game in perhaps 20 years so I do beg your pardon but the nostalgia is strong in this one.
Besides that, Virgin just has a fantastic track record of Disney licensed games so I was sure Jungle book is just as good as Aladdin and Lion King.
I played the game through so here is what I think of it. Continue reading Jungle Book (Sega Mega/Genesis 1994)→
Bless me bagpipes!!! After the great success of Duck Tales for the NES, it only made sense to make a sequel. But this is the year 1993 we are talking about, the SNES had launched and had a great start so why not make Duck Tales 2 for the SNES?! Of course it would be cheaper to ride on the hard work already done when developing the first game but that is a shame since like most know the game is quite rare now a days most likely due to poor sales. Europeans were still playing a lot of NES compared to Americans at the time so I got a boxed PAL copy for like 80$.
Well, regardless of their reasons the game was made for the NES so it has to be at least as half as good as the original which can’t be bad! Continue reading Duck Tales 2 (1993 NES)→
