[Vinesauce] Vinny - Game Boy Garbage

[@rabiroden]

Imagine you're introduced to Super Mario Bros as a kid. You love it, your eyes are opened to the world of video games. You dream of becoming a video game maker some day. You grow up, you study, you go to college. You get hired by a video game developer, you finally get to live your dream. Your entire life has culminated to this moment. You gleefully come to work and start your first day. Your heart sinks into your stomach as you are tasked with the creation of Care Bears for the Game Boy Advance. This is your life now. You work on shovelware title after shovelware title with no budget and tight deadlines for the next decade. Your passion for video games is lost and you wonder why you wanted this job in the first place. You eventually quit and spend the rest of your days doing IT work for some car dealership in Arizona.

Fun fact: That Hot Wheels game could’ve been A LOT worse. I was partially responsible for sending the games in this pack to Vinny, and in that pack I included two Hot Wheels games, and Vinny’s vetting team deleted the wrong one, so Vinny got super lucky that he played the one he did.

[@DeMinoTheDragon]

What was the other one? I remember the Hot Wheels games on the GBA to be p solid. Dead ass Hot Wheels World Race was one of my favorite game of all time as a kid

[@jbhamham3754]

@@DeMinoTheDragon Yeah, World Race was pretty good, (Especially the console versions) The other one was Velocity X, which is NOT good.

@Recycle Zinns Same. I ended up with that game as part of a 2-in-1 cartridge I won from a school book fair jar guessing game (or was it a raffle? I can't entirely recall) The other game on that cart was called Quad Desert Fury, and it wasn't all that better; framerate was a little more bearable, but the audio was equally bad.

[@warbossgegguz679]

1:18 It's best to start a garbage game pack with a game that seems like trash or shovelware but is actually good/competent. It gives you a baseline to measure just how trash everything else is, and shows that they have no excuses for pumping this trite out. After all If a different shoestring budget licensed game can be good or even impressive, why can't shit like 1:29 or anything else here also be good? Because one dev cared and the others didn't. We go from a sold 32-bit polygonal racer that wouldn't look half bad next to Virtua Racing or Ridge Racer (especially for fucking GBA tbh. Genuinely impressed) to voxel & sprite hell that somehow manages to look AND run worse than the previous game. Set the bar high so we realize just how low we've stooped.

[@sirthanksalot97]

Honestly I'm thoroughly impressed by the first game. Legitimately the besy GBA 3D I've ever seen - how the hell did they even make that?

[@warbossgegguz679]

@@sirthanksalot97 Agreed. I've seen a lot of 3D on GBA and that's easily up their with some of the best. You could have told me it was a 32X or early PSX game and I would have bought it. The only thing lesser than those here is resolution, because obviously GBA screen =/= TV.

[@FazanaJ]

There's GBA versions of Need for Speed: Underground 1 and 2, which both are really good games and have full 3D, too. EA paid me to tell you to go look them up. Probably the best 3D the gba actually has.

[@KRcanondaisa]

I played it recently and it's actually not that bad at all. The console/PC version is much better in comparison, but the GBA version still holds up in my opinion.

[@Yuli_Ban]

Yeah, it looks above-average. It certainly has a frame-rate uncommon for 3D GBA games and looks like it controls properly.

Shrek: Fairytale Freakdown legitimately looks like a bootleg game.

[@shnowshner]

Owner of a cartridge here, it very well could be. I played this game pretty often on my Advance when I was a mindless kid without any concept of video games not always being fun. I'm pretty sure it's just a standard GBC cartridge, but it still looks a bit off. The one I have is a clear cartridge that lets you see the inside. I'll have to get a better look at it later to compare.
