- Today on the Wack Game Boy Zone it-oh. Ohhhhh no. No no no. Please, no. Why did you do this, Jaleco? wackgameboy.zone/2026/02/05/i...
- New post on the zone, in which Jaleco looked at Nintendo's abysmal attempt at baseball and said "someone's gotta do this sport right, get Tose on the horn". wackgameboy.zone/2026/02/02/b...
- New post on the WGBZ! It's Yakuman, a Mahjong implementation (yay!) that only plays 2p (boo!), and is still better than Battletoads. wackgameboy.zone/2026/01/30/y...
- imagine being so odious that you managed to do tangible brand damage to the Dice Tower Kirk is a hilarious line in the sand bc it forces people like Sam to type sentences about how tasty boots are while they proceed to step on the rake again and again in full view of god and everyone
- Play to Z announced an upcoming game and I can't help but suspect a significant amount of AI was involved between a cover with the game's own title spelled wrong, some wonky art, and a summary that looks like it was pasted directly out of GPT complete with emoji'd bullet points
- FBC: Firebreak (@remedygames.com) recently had a free weekend on Steam, and our group enjoyed it so much that we bought 5 copies. I can't speak for how the game was on launch - I wasn't there! - but I can say that I'm excited to hit the showers with my coworkers again. pixeldie.com/2026/01/28/i...

- I recently saw an ex-reviewer for the Dice Tower state that he/they were releasing reviews based on individual plays of new games, as in they would play games exactly once and record if you ever doubted what the purpose of most board game coverage was, that should give you an indication!
- New zone post! It's about Boxxle - pure, unadulterated Sokoban with a cover that'll give you nightmares. I kind of hate its guts! wackgameboy.zone/2026/01/26/b...
- gonna pitch a movie about a young influencer struggling to find an audience and title it "Are You There Chat? It's Me, Margaret."
- Pine Creek's pitch is my exact kind of thing - indie horror on the Game Boy! - but the execution fumbles at every step, particularly in the treatment of its subject matter. wackgameboy.zone/2026/01/22/p...
- Click to remember the year's biggest unforced errors, stay for Microsoft getting deservedly dismantled.
- New post on the zone! I played Castlevania: The Adventure, widely considered to be one of if not the worst 'Vanias Konami ever released. I can confirm that it's definitely not great! ...so why did I beat it twice? wackgameboy.zone/2026/01/19/c...
- Got a double feature for y'all today. Don't thank me, these ports of Marble Madness play like comorbid diagnoses. At least we got a new solid floor for the list, right? It's not going to get worse? wackgameboy.zone/2026/01/16/m...
- The Networks: Primetime (@gil.hova.net, @allplay.bsky.social) is a new edition of one of the very best drafting games. This season is sharper, wittier, faster, and fully deserving of a return to the limelight. pixeldie.com/2026/01/14/t...
- Got a couple of pieces going up across different sites today! First is a new Wack Game Boy Zone entry for the excellent Revenge of the 'Gator. I should have known better than to doubt HAL Labs, they knew ball. wackgameboy.zone/2026/01/14/r...
