Game & Watch Gallery Advance - Game Select Animations
1I hope you are all healthy & well wherever you are in the World
Those of you that have followed my channel will know what a fan I am of Nintendo's LCD Game & Watch series.
As previously mentioned Nintendo have ported a number of Game & Watch titles to their various handheld consoles. See my other videos in the Playlist to see videos of some of them . They created a series of collections/compilations of G&W titles onto the various Game & Watch Gallery series on the GameBoy range of consoles.
This is Game & Watch Gallery Advance (aka Game & Watch Gallery 4 - actually sort of the 5th game in the series but the 4th game in the Gallery series) It has Classic & Modern versions of a number of G&W titles. The Classic versions are effectively faithful ports of the Game A and Game B modes of the original G&W titles. There are also Modern versions that spruce up the graphics, use the Mario characters & feature multiple levels and twists on gameplay but essentially provide an Easy and Hard modern take on the formula. Every 200 points awards a Star. Stars unlock features and more games. There are 220 Stars in total to unlock. I recently re-discovered my boxed cart in the loft, reset the scores & have started unlocking everything again. Love these games!
There are a Total of 11 games with Classic & Modern versions plus a further 9 Classic versions to unlock giving a total of 20 G&W ports - the largest in any of these compilations. Some are new ports of existing ports from other releases, others are exclusive to this cartridge.
Each of the main games & main unlockables has a short amusing animation if you leave the cursor over the title before selecting. This video shows these animations (including the "Mystery" one before you unlock the games)
I'm also sorting my loft and finding all sorts of obscurities, oddities and nice games from my collection so I'll be doing some random vids after the DSiWare stuff. Let me know if there is a console or game you'd like to see. Let me know if there are any games or consoles you'd like videos about. Let me know if you like the format (i.e. no voiceover and the addition of short facts). Want End Cards added to point out other similar videos? I'm just trying things really.
As always game is played on original hardware - no emulation etc This is filmed from my AGS-101 model GBA SP.
As always if you enjoy this video let me know.
