To start, you have to jump into the air. It's gotta be SUPER high. The effect used to scare the crap outta me when I was little, so enjoy. :P

Diddy Kong Racing

Only NEARLY impossible. Takes a super specific path and hitting all the boosts. There's even a point where you HAVE to glitch through Wizpigs legs. :P

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo

@shanezer To be precise, I think you mean 'spin off'. As Capcom had only licensed the game to be ported to the GBA.

Minna no Soft Series - Zooo

Interesting game. Plays like Bejeweled. Sound is glitched, tho. :(

The process is called Localization. Video games were, and still are, marketed to males, little girls doing magic with cute little animals isn't marketable. In America, anyway.

A Tale of Tales
Welcome to the stage of history. The history... of Tales. No, not Tails, the little orange guy who's never gonna reach puberty... ever, but the series. The Tales series may very well be the last living evidence that Wolf Team and Alfa System ever existed, and, quite frankly and honestly... the series never caught my eye. See, what Wolf and Alfa and Namco and Atlus and the like would do best is make games with a certain consistent look that, while polished, looks to the jaded gamer like a wash of stereotypical anime gargle made for single use and prompt spitting-out. While the graphics are charming, the rest of the package is... unremarkable.
Initial opinions spouted, there is a certain amount of... curiosity that consumes a lorehound like myself, so I dove into this one with an opened mind and came out... conflicted. First, this game looks gorgeous. There is no getting around that fact. The art is clean, the palate (while a wash of slightly irritating pastels) is very suiting and almost dreamy, and the animations are quite good and hella cute considering the system. (This might be me: I keep forgetting just how much data you can fit on a GBA cart...). I found myself gathering new outfits just to see the cute animations.
The sound, while well-balanced, is very 'there'. The tracks are catchy, but nothing will really stay with you. To explain the addictiveness (or lack thereof), one would have to explain the gameplay and plot... In this mixed RPG, you play as two spunky, over-excitable little kids who have just reached the age of adult-ness. Having done this (And had an impromptu “Save the World” interlude with three dying goddesses... like you do when you come of age...), you gain the ability of COSPLAY. I'm quite serious. Wikipedia tells no lies. The outfits that you can craft and find give you a sort of Job Change system, only no carry-over abilities like Final Fantasy. Add to this a menu-based, story-driven mission system, a few sprawl... Read the rest of this Review

Tama and Friends - 3 Choume Obake Panic!!
Mass hysteria, dogs and cats living with each other, blah dee blah dee blah... This is the world of a young cat named Tama and his adventurous friends. Where cars are your biggest fear and Slingo will save your soul.
For a short while, "Tama and Friends" was an early morning cartoon, slated as one of those shows that would teach kids values and other sickening things like that; Much like "Hamtaro" and "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog", there was a lesson at the end of every show, dropped like an anvil on the minds of kids 7-10 years of age in the old fashion of splattering enough paint at wall to see if anything will catch. In Japan, though, these little guys are just cute and toyetic and ended up with at least three games.
The story of the game is much like the story of a handful of episodes from the show. Tama's official-unofficial girlfriend (you know, because grade-schoolers...), Momo, has gone missing and you and your palate-swap friends must sniff out clues, get past bullying bulldogs, and brave ghosts, rats, and nattering mini-games to find her. Knowing the show, this can only end in a wild misunderstanding and the cast laughing it off, mocking your efforts in the process.
This being a mini-game game, your life is measured in paw tokens. They're probably called 'Tama Tokens', or something equally cute, but I'm gonna call them paw tokens to annoy those who understand the Japanese language. You spin a roulette at the start to get your first fill of them (2-10 of the little hit points), and then you traverse a main map to activate cutscenes, games and the like. There also seems to be a free mode where you can play any opened game you like and a password system made up of the faces of your friends and that bulldog guy I mentioned.
The graphics are quite good for the time, utilizing the GB to an acceptable extent. It didn't help, however, that Tama and his varied friends aren't all that varied. In the cutscenes and the Slin... Read the rest of this Review
