Game Boy Godzilla – Josh Nickerson A nice illustration of Godzilla taking a little break by @joshnickerson83.bsky.social yokoikids.wordpress.com/2026/04/28/g...

The superior Japanese Game Boy version Gojira-kun: Kaijū Daikōshin is based off a manga that Nicholas Driscoll wrote a LONG review of back in 2022. www.tohokingdom.com/blog/sd-godz...

Stumped – Oscar Natividad "I missed this game as a kid, and could not wrap my mind around Godzilla being unable to jump." yokoikids.wordpress.com/2026/04/21/s...

Our past contributor Alex made a peeped the various different region covers for Godzilla. @mendi-draw-bal.bsky.social

Another rare occasion where the US manual is cooler than the Japanese version. Here's the JP manual for Godzilla. (Shout out to Pete Plev for finding it) gamemanual.midnightmeattrain.com/entry/%E3%82...

Digital Cards in a Digital Sleeve – Johnny Ketchum We haven't had any contributions for Godzilla yet, but here's something new about Pokemon Trading Card Game from Johnny Ketchum and Robin Enrico. @gnarlsincharge.bsky.social @robinhoodie.bsky.social yokoikids.wordpress.com/2026/04/14/d...

I mentioned both, but I really hoped people would try for this end screen, which you only get via the English version.

@yokoikids.bsky.social the Japanese version is a very different and much better experience. I’m ACTUALLY enjoying playing Godzilla.

The Godzilla manual has little screenshots of the movie. That’s kinda rare. www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM...

GODZILLA COMPILE 1990 (Captured on Game Boy Pocket) Shout-out @yokoikids.bsky.social game of the month

We learned that the Japanese version of Godzilla (Gojira-kun: Kaijū Daikōshin) is not only cooler, it also has better game mechanics. Here's a boisterous Youtuber to explain. youtu.be/mG_l6BHRKwU?...

4 more spot illustrations for a future @yokoikids.bsky.social 'zine. Drawing Kirby is deceptively difficult.

This is just an absolutely great advertisement for Godzilla.

New month! New Game! Here's Ian and Jeffrey Brown to tell you about it. @jeffbrown82.bsky.social @ianferguson.bsky.social yokoikids.wordpress.com/2026/04/01/a...

Pete beat Bionic Commando (with save states). Has anybody else gotten far?

This promo for a Capcom MAY HAVE come with Bionic Commando.

Bionic Comandown – Rick V. @itsmerickv.com The baddies in Bionic Commando are both horrified and impressed. yokoikids.wordpress.com/2026/03/24/b...

How many times have you been playing Bionic Commando and hit Descend instead of Transfer?

It has been pointed out that this is a banger of a track. youtu.be/SsGQCCUoa38?...

The dude seems stoked that Super Joe is missing.

Shock the Monkey – Jeff Brown "A monkey fighting food with balls is exactly why I love video games and a perfect example of the creativity that can be found in these little cartridges." @jeffbrown82.bsky.social @nolentabner.bsky.social yokoikids.wordpress.com/2026/03/10/s...

The 1-up icon from the manual is pretty great. www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM...

Bionic Commando gets points just for having a cool logo on the title screen.

“Heh Heh… Spanky…” – Josh Nickerson @joshnickerson83.bsky.social Josh did the research to find out how Spanky's Quest got it's name. yokoikids.wordpress.com/2026/03/03/h...

It's March! And here's @ianferguson.bsky.social to tell you about a new dang game you should play. yokoikids.wordpress.com/2026/03/01/m...

@yokoikids.bsky.social this level was wearing my patience. I almost turned the game off for good. I eventually figured it out and killed that kooky old witch.

"Kinda looks like kid Dracula" - Pete Plev Has anybody completed Spanky's Quest yet?

A Mario Land by Any Other Name – D’arcy Briggs @darcyska.bsky.social "Graphically it’s got a different vision than 2, but feels like it’s from the same language… just more Wario-ish." yokoikids.wordpress.com/2026/02/24/a... (illo by @supercoolnstuff.bsky.social )

C'mon, was this sad pineapple even hurting anybody?

I know we are covering the Game Boy version of Spanky's Quest, but the Japanese cover of the SFC game is too good. Look how Spanky is taking a moment on the bottom right.

Doing fill in art for hopefully a future @yokoikids.bsky.social 'zine continues. I suspect this is the first time I have ever drawn a Pokemon.

Nolen has added a Picro... Nanogram puzzle for every game we did in 2025. Check it out! @nolentabner.bsky.social www.picross.net/yokoi/

I mean if ARCHIE recommends it, it has to be a great game!

I think we finally figured out how to make the discord link permanent. discord.gg/5GJZKSvR

Marios Picross: Frame by Frame - Jeff Brown "Trying to explain the game is probably why it’s only reached cult status in the US." New write up by @jeffbrown82.bsky.social with art by @robinhoodie.bsky.social yokoikids.wordpress.com/2026/02/10/m...

Like most other games, the Japanese manual for Spanky's Quest is superior to the US version. Here's an old post from the Gay Gamer blog. www.thegaygamer.com/2018_08_26_a...

Spanky, the monkey in Spanky's Quest doesn't really look like a monkey at all. More like a hamster with a long tail.

New month! hundredth game! Let ol' Ricky, Iany, and Noley tell you about it. yokoikids.wordpress.com/2026/02/02/f...

I actually just beat this game a couple months ago but it took me a while.

Still working on it in my free time. Star Course is nearing completion as well!

I completed both Mario Picross for the Game Boy, the Super Famicom one, Pokémon Picross (unreleased but complete) and the Club Nintendo Picross for the 3DS. They are perfect in every way.

Any thoughts on Mario's Picross? How far did you get? On Sunday we announce game 100 for Yokoi Kids! Can you guess what it is? Spoilers: It's not Pokemon or Speedy Gonzales.
