Good Game Get! Drill Dozer

Drill Dozer is seriously one of the best platformers that no one knows about. It was sadly released towards the end of the GBA’s lifespan so I don’t think it received the chance it deserved.



It was created by famous Pokémon creators GameFreak and designed by Pokémon illustrator, Ken Sugimori. Drill Dozer makes you really wish GameFreak would do more than just Pokémon since the game is just so solid and incredible.



The game’s cartridge is awesome as well since it included a built-in rumble pack, which awkwardly sticks out of my beloved Gameboy Micro, but the game looks amazing on that tiny yet great screen.

I think it’s really one of the last original and solid 2D sprite platformers to ever be released, and it’s sad to think that games like these are truly almost dead in mainstream gaming.

If you can get your hands on the real cartridge instead of a rom, you’ll be in for a real treat as the rumble really does make all of the difference, especially when you are doing the fun shifting gear elements using the shoulder buttons.

The game rules, get it, and play it. That simple, and even though I feel that the rumble is very important to the game, this is truly one of those games that could get a wonderful second chance on DSiWare.

That is if Nintendo actually gave a shit about promoting good DSiWare titles.
