It might not hit the nostalgia button for anyone closer to 30, but you can put together a pretty killer GBC offering without ever mentioning Pokémon - more if you could get all the Harry Potter and Disney licensed games on there. I doubt they drive initial subscriptions but they keep guys like me - 40 year olds who don’t play a ton of online games because we grew up on single player experiences and can’t get anyone our age to play a game at the same time because we all have kids - renewingįor me - the Mario/Wario land games, half a dozen Final Fantasy games, more puzzle games than you can ever imagine, Konami side scrollers, some pretty excellent Zeldas, Kirby. Embark on 25 intense missions as you adventure through the neon-gothic world of Drake. As Drake you will use your magical powers and double-pistoled fists to exact sweet revenge. The bonus consoles are about nostalgia and preservation. 20 Drake Of The 99 Dragons (Metascore: 22) via: The John Woo inspired slow motion, weapon’s akimbo action deal was, thanks to the success of the Matrix trilogy, at the height of its popularity when Drake of the 99 Dragons landed on the original Xbox back in November of 2003. Now the hero Drake of the 99 Dragons Clan has been mysteriously brought back to life to set things right and take back the 99 Dragons artifact. When Nintendo talks about adding value to NSO they’re talking about Switch games that have online functionality. Its cheesy, but the action is supposed to make up for the story.

There is a massive (and excellent) GameBoy library that folks my age played the shit out of before we got too old for Pokémon before Pokémon came out and accidentally gave the hardware new life when Nintendo was trying desperately to replace the GB. Drake, an undead Triad gangster, wields double firearms and Afafrwr-like abilities (wall running and bullet time) in his quest for revenge against the cyborgs who killed him. It’s easy to forget for a certain generation of gamers but the GameBoy had an entire console generation before Pokémon ever released.

*creeks on my rocking chair and waves stick in the air* Listen up Children, the GameBoy was a Tertris machine and don’t you forget it.
