Day 20: Super Glove Ball

Developed by Rare, it's a pseudo-3D version of Arkanoid where you bounce a ball to destroy block on a wall. It can be played with a NES controller or the Power Glove.

Who love the Power Glove?

Happy 40th Anniversary to Nintendo Entertainment System in North America!

One of the greatest home video game consoles of all time. It also introduced some of the video game franchises like Super Mario Bros and the Legend of Zelda.

Now you're playing with power! 🎮❤️

The NES console and a bunch of games I got from my grandpa in 2010. I used to play Super Mario Bros. 3 on the original NES with my grandpa too.

I miss stylish UI/HUD/Start screens, especially Y2K ones. They had so much creativity and flair. Feels like a lost art. Do you have any favorites?

Close enough. Stack-Up is one of the only two games used for R.O.B.

Day 16: Gyromite

One of the launch titles for the NES library, it’s a puzzle-platform game that is designed for the R.O.B. accessory.

Gyromite is one of only two games designed for R.O.B. Do you guess the second game?

Kirby's Epic Yarn is celebrating its 15th anniversary and Yoshi's Woolly World is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

Surprisingly enough, both games are developed by Good-Feel. Great games for the Wii and Wii U.

Day 15: Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man

These NES games are the port of the arcade games, so it’s one of my favorite video game franchises of all time.

Which do you prefer? Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man?

Day 14: Contra

This NES game is a port of the arcade game, and it includes power-ups and co-op mode.

A little tip: if you remember Konami Code (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start), you get 30 lives.

I completed a replay of Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Switch the other night.

Took me about 20 hours to complete. Love the new storybook by Rosalina too.

Now, I’m going to complete Super Mario Galaxy 1 on Switch again.

It’s a boxing video game where you play as Little Mac to fight his way up the ranks against a series of opponents like Glass Joe and King Hippo.

Between these 3 consoles from the 6th generation, which one had the biggest impact on your gaming experience? Everyone knows I LOVE the GameCube. However, the PS2 definitely had the biggest impact from the incredible games in its library. It opened my eyes to a whole new world of gaming! #games

Day 12: Kid Icarus

It’s an action platformer with role-playing elements. You play as Pit through platform areas while fighting enemies and collecting items.

A cult classic, but a really good game for the NES library.
