It’s always a good day when RetroBreak uploads!

ASTRO BOT AND TEARS OF THE KINGDOM ARE FRICKING LIT

[Ray__E]

I really like your channel. It's relaxing and pretty informative on gaming. I've actually looked into certain games myself after seeing you recommend them

[isayoldchap]

Nice to hear some love for Minish Cap, such a cohesive and polished game. Still my favourite GBA game after all these years. I guess we’ll be coming up ion the 20 year anniversary soon.

I love the christmas lighting in your room. Christmas is my favorite holiday so I really like the aesthetic of the lighting you put up. Have you played peggle on DS? I really want to get that and plants vs zombies. Very fascinated by those mobile to console ports

Games I'm playing
1. Ys VIII on Switch
2. Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV on Switch
3. Pokémon TCGP.

I just recently got all three Peggle games for steam to play with my gf, I love them growing up and she loves them now, too! So simple and enjoyable.

I tried playing Lemmings on the SFC the other day. That game definitely needs a mouse controller. I know Lemmings 2 has it, but Lemmings could of at least have an intuitive button mapping layout.

The DS Peggle game includes both Peggle and Peggle Nights, which is the ultimate package really

[FalcomScott]

I love ❤️ the tetris series here & I've had so many memories playing it for the Game Boy handheld years ago!

[danielkocher]

Paper Mario on Wii U is a great game worth to finish!

[electricturbodata]

Agree with you on Echoes of Wisdom. It immediately became one of my favourite Zelda games. It's just so creative and so much fun. I had the same experience as you, that I've enjoyed it more than TotK, although that was really great too. The soundtrack in EoW was the only weaker part for me. I want unforgettable soundtracks like in OoT or WW that melts your brain how magical they are. (maybe easier said than done).😅Color Splash is so much fun and tragically underrated. One of the funniest laugh out loud games I've ever played. Enjoyed every second of it. Made Toad(s) my fave Nintendo character, they're just absolutely hysterical in this game. Sticker star feels kind of empty and deserves a lot of its criticisms, but it took Color splash unfairly with it "to the depths". Actually when I saw how beautiful the new art style was in the CS trailer I went out and bought a Wii U, although the Switch was really close to launch. 😅 (I did specifically want Wind Waker HD and Captain Toad too). However I got all the great Wii U games for about 20€ or cheaper each at the end of its lifecycle, and didn't feel like I needed a Switch until Link's Awakening remaster and Luigi's mansion 3 in 2019, because almost all games in 2017 and 18 were Wii U remasters. Don't regret the Wii U at all. In retrospect I'd probably would've wanted a Switch if I would've realized how great Odyssey is.

I beat Half-Life: Opposing Force recently, solid expansion to the first Half-Life game but developed by Gearbox, not Valve. I also recently started Manifold Garden, a mind bending 3D puzzle game, and I'm hoping to finally beat Bug Fables before the end of the year.

[erneststackhouse]

Fast Racing NEO on the Wii U is awesome! At this time i have the game but my Wii U is down. One of these days i'll get a new one or get that one fixed. Also love the Peggle game but i've only played it on the DS, i think it is called "Peggle Dual Shot" on the DS. Last year at this time i was on a Gauntlet kick, this year however i'm playing "College Slam" four way with family on the PS1. Since were getting a lot of external family showing up, might as well enjoy video games with them!

[NCS]

Tetris forever looks very similar to that of the Atari 50 with the timeline and style, really good collection too, may consider getting Tetris forever

Really liked Astro bot & sonic x shadow, definitely the best games of the year imo

I should be getting echoes of wisdom soon, very excited to play it!

[Twin_Doors]

Puzzle Fighter is very addictive. I never realised this was on the Gameboy Advance. I always played it on the Playstation One. Which do you prefer? 😊

[LinkyHYC]

Cool games! I have been playing the newest Zelda title as well, I liked it a lot but it is a bit too easy and too talkative in parts. I am also torn on the openess of the world, as several places can be accessed before anything happens there so you just... meet so folks that are basically just waiting for you to progress in the main story.
Anyway I liked it and it has a lot of good ideas but I feel like it isn't on par with the best 2D entries.

Otherwise, I've played some indie titles (Inspector Waffles: Early Days is a really cool new detective game on the GBC, The Puzzle Maker: Cebba's Odyssey is a fun puzzle game) and I've recently started Anton Blast.

[VirajKathwadia]

I loved Echos of Wisdom more than Tears too, the soundtrack was alright, I beat it not long ago it's easy to beat so enjoy. Super Puzzle Fighter II is a good port as Arcade Games go. Glad you are keeping well. I'll be back with some new and exciting wares at London in March as I've sold a lot of my inventory when I went to Doncaster the other month. See ya then.

[MrSkinnedpuppy]

You can play Peggle 2 with Xenia on PC, works fine

[PuppetMaster]

I'm currently playing my all time favorite GBA game of all time, Urbz Sims in The City this is my like 50 or 60th time playing it all the way through and I've yet never got a 100% complete file lol

[robinhatherall]

I love Colour Splash

Didn’t get the credit it deserves. Enjoyed Game Awards for a change. Okami 2 announced. Sad at robot won.
