I've been looking for Mega Man reviews on the Game Boy, as they were all added to the Nintendo Switch Online service this weekend.
But besides the first 3, I'm having a hard time finding any.
Review for Mega Man 1 on Game Boy from Club Nintendo Volume 4 Issue 4 - 1992 (UK)
A little extra for today.
The brand new rescan of Club Nintendo Volume 5 Issue 1 - 1993 (UK) has just been added to the magazine catalogue.
As always with these rescans of magazines I did more than a decade ago, this one has much more accurate colour levels as well as extra shadow detail and overall sharpness.

Very funny nerd misunderstanding today. So I buy a lot of knock-off old SNES carts, PS1 games and other expensive retro stuff from Aliexpress. I mostly just want to have the box to put up on a wall.
A friends wife who likes old games came over while I was getting my hair cut and told my wife “Mat must have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on this collection.” My wife, concerned, is then shown the value of Earthbound new in box. She is (understandably) shocked that I have $15,000 worth of retro gaming on the shelf.
Sheepishly I have to explain they’re just knockoffs and cost $20 each. #retrogaming
Preview for Sagaia on Sega Master System from Sega Force 6 - June 1992 (UK)
I usually always gravitate towards Darius Gaiden by default, but this past month I've been delving into the others again thanks to the Darius collections and I'm still amazed just by how creative these all were.
Brilliant series.
And I don't know what it is, but this line goes straight to my soul: 🥰 https://youtu.be/u1t2YC5CRtE?si=vhYd-Lmv9pLm-vLt&t=35
Review for Gynoug on Mega Drive from Sega Force 6 - June 1992 (UK)
Another one I adored back in the day.
The designs, not only of the enemies, but the levels itself is something to behold.
Blew my mind back when it came out.
This one is also available today on modern platforms.
Preview for Atomic Runner on Mega Drive from Sega Force 6 - June 1992 (UK)
Loved this one back in the day.
Somehow never hear anything about it besides a single mention in a Youtube video like every year or so.
I really should dig this one out one of these days.
