#1: Legend of Zelda (NES) 
Curious about what this is? Here’s the explainer!
Spoiler!
It’s hard to talk about early Nintendo without talking about the Game Boy, a handheld system introduced back in 1989. A follow-up to the Game and Watch handheld games, it’s dot-matrix screen let you play games on the go, assuming you had enough light (and batteries) to play them under. And what games it had!
Spare me the history, what’s the game this month?
What are the games you mean?
Since Mario Land alone would be pretty short, this month is a Player’s Choice month! You can choose any number of games from the Game Boy (and Game Boy Color) series of Mario Land games. Just wanna play SML1 and be done? Go ahead! Want to just play Wario Land 1 and 2? Go for it!
The Mario Land games are cool to me for kind of doing their own thing in the face of what was happening on home consoles. They reigned it back in a little for 2 but still made it pretty unique. And then of course they rolled into Wario Land and came up with something pretty different! This is the second time i’ve linked a Gaming Historian video but he just goes into it SUPER well and matches my thoughts near exactly.
And so begins month! Feed your greed or just go on an adventure, just give us some updates from time to time!
