So, Mobile Police Patlabor on Game Boy—yeah, it’s exactly what it sounds like. You’re piloting a giant mech through a city that somehow feels way too small for the thing, trying to stop crimes and deal with rogue robots. The controls take a second to get used to—turning feels a little stiff at first, but once you get the hang of it, stomping around in that hunk of metal is weirdly satisfying.

It’s got that classic Patlabor vibe, so if you’re into the anime, you’ll recognize the look and feel right away. Missions start simple—patrols, breaking up fights—but then suddenly you’re wrestling another mech in the middle of downtown. The sprite work’s actually pretty solid for a Game Boy title, and the chunky sound effects when you punch something? Perfect.

Not gonna lie, it’s a niche pick, but if you like mecha games or just want something different from the usual platformers, this one’s a fun little time capsule. Just don’t expect it to hold your hand.
