Ganbare! Nippon! Olympic 2000 is one of those weird little sports compilations that only showed up on the Game Boy Color—think track and field events with that classic chunky pixel art. You’ve got your usual suspects like sprinting, swimming, and archery, but everything’s got that early 2000s Japan flair (yes, the title screen screams "GANBARE!" at you). Controls are simple button-mashing affairs, though good luck not wrecking your thumbs in the 100-meter dash.
It’s definitely a product of its time—don’t expect depth, but it’s oddly charming if you’re into retro sports games. The music’s peppy, the events are quick, and you’ll probably laugh at how dramatic the pole vault looks in 8-bit. Not a hidden gem, but a fun little time capsule if you dig this era.
