🔥 - The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages 🔥

To see it on YouTube, click here: https://youtu.be/eG8orEwmCSs

The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are two great games that return to the classic Zelda style. After Link's Awakening was a surprise hit on the Game Boy, Nintendo mostly abandoned 2D Zelda games in favor of 3D games on the Nintendo 64.

It wouldn't be until 2001 that a new 2D Zelda game would be officially released. This time TWO games were released simultaneously. While the games were different, they featured special content that connected the games together, and the true ending could only be seen by completing both games.

So how did we suddenly go from zero Zelda games to two at once? And was that even a good idea? In today's episode we'll find out, then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:

* How to find and complete ALL EIGHT DUNGEONS!

* Where to find EVERY ITEM!

* LINKED GAME SECRETS - How to unlock all of the bonus content from Oracle of Seasons!

* How to use a GLITCH to WARP to new places!

* How to get all 64 RINGS!

* The secret of BOMB JUMPS - Skip huge areas!

* How to win at EVERY MINI-GAME!

* Detailed MAPS for every area!

* How to SKIP THE LEVEL 2 BOSS!

* The secret of the ITEM DUPLICATION TRICK!

* How to defeat EVERY BOSS... AND MORE!

🔥 - Star Fox! 🔥

Star Fox may not look like much compared to the high-powered "triple A" games of modern times, but this ground-breaking game was a huge step forward in the evolution of video games!

Programmers had tried for years to create 3D graphics, but the objects in these games couldn't be freely rotated, and were essentially just flat pictures with clever shading. Computers in the early 1980's just didn't have enough power.

With a bit of technical wizardry, Nintendo was able to deliver a next generation visual experience using the primitive hardware in their 16-bit Super NES! But how did they do it? A crazy miracle? Dark magic? In today's episode we'll find out, and then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:

* The best way to get through EVERY STAGE with a 100% SCORE!

* The SECRET of the BLACK HOLE - How to warp to multiple locations!

* Detailed MAPS for every Stage!

* How to summon the GREAT WHALE and the SILVER PHOENIX!

* EXACTLY which enemies you need to clear to get 100%!

* Where to find HIDDEN ITEMS - Twin Blasters, Nova Bombs, 1-UPs, and MORE!

* How to go OUT OF THIS DIMENSION to fight the GIANT SLOT MACHINE!

* The best way to defeat EVERY BOSS... Even ANDROSS himself!

Happy New Year!

Like many games from the 80's and 90's, Snow Brothers started out as an arcade game, where it was called Snow Bros. It was part of a growing trend in arcades to make games that couples could play together.

Much like Bubble Bobble, you'll capture enemies, but this time you'll use snow instead of bubbles. With an enemy completely encased in snow, you can roll it at other enemies for a devastating effect!

So how did this game get from the Arcade to the NES, what changes had to be made, and why is this game so expensive to buy on eBay? In today's episode we'll find out, and then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:

* The best way to complete ALL 50 Floors!

* How to find both HIDDEN WARP ZONES!

* Secret techniques for ONE-SHOT CLEARS!

River City Ransom is one of the most unique, and exciting two player games for the NES! At first glance it looks a lot like Double Dragon - You'll use your Martial Arts skills to punch, and kick your way through waves of bad guys.

But this is more than just a beat 'em game - River City Ransom is essentially an Action RPG! You'll fight enemies for money, which you'll use to increase your stats, and purchase new moves. While it is possible to win with hardly any equipment, real success in River City Ransom comes from building your character into an invincible tank!

In Japan, this game is part of a larger series starring a hot-headed brawler named Kunio. For the English version, many changes were made to try to make the game more appealing to a Western audience. What did they actually change? In today's video we'll find out, then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:

* The FAST and EASY way to build up your character's STATS!

* Where to find ALL of the bosses, including the optional ones!
