Pokemon Blue?

I've never used a Super Gameboy but I'm assuming that's the add-on.

See? Pokemon Blue is right, and so is the Super GameBoy.

So... you're saying there was an add-on to the Gameboy, which added colors? Never before I heard of something like that.

Correct on both! Should have started with a different hint for BOTW xD

GTA V is correct!

No, I meant there was an add-on (Super GameBoy) for a home-console (Super Nintendo) through which you could play your game more or less in color. I ommited the word ‘home’ though. If you put in Pokemon Blue in your Super GameBoy for example, most things get a blueish hue, while with Pokemon Red most things would look a bit reddish.

OK, never heard of that before. But yes, Wikipedia says the same as you...

You never stop to learn.

#39 - The only game after this franchise's debut to feature a range upgrade for the main character... because it is a remake of this franchise's debut.

Huh, I thought this one would be guessed quick. Thought the remake part gave it away.

Then again if you played the games on a Game Boy Color, which most kids back then did (at least the ones I knew), it already did that anyway.

Yes it did.

And Castlevania 4? Not sure if the whip upgrades in other titles.

Edit: also I said Castlevania 1 was my favorite traditional Castlevania, come on!

Ughh. You’re right. I’m having such a bad day today. Everything I do is wrong and I keep forgetting everything... I need the weekend.

Time to get some more hints out for the next few games

#37: The best game (in my opinion) in a series that also serves as half of the inspiration for the genre it effectively innovated.

#36: The train level.

#35: The best non-Final Fantasy RPG on the SNES.

#39
Batman: Arkham City
(Change YoY: -3)

Batman: Arkham City is everything that Arkham Asulym was, but better. Everything that was great about the first game is still great here, and the rest is generally an improvement. The world has more variety and just in general more stuff to do, while still not feeling too large or unfocused. Arkham City is my second favourite open world game from the previous console generation, and still remains very close to the top from the genre. For some reason I just haven't really had any interest in either of the two later games in the series. Maybe someday.
