VS Battler on the Game Boy is one of those weird little Japanese-only titles that makes you wonder how it even got made. It's a stripped-down fighting game where you pick from a handful of bizarre characters—some look like rejected Street Fighter sprites, others are just... blobs with faces. The controls are stiff, the animations are janky, and yet there's something oddly charming about how hard it tries to be a full-on fighter on hardware that clearly wasn't built for it.

First match in, you'll probably button-mash your way to victory because the AI doesn't put up much of a fight. But give it a few rounds and you start noticing the weird quirks—like how one character's special move is just them falling over dramatically, or how the "stages" are basically two colors smeared together. It's the kind of game you boot up for five minutes to laugh at, then end up playing way longer than you meant to.

Definitely more of a curiosity than a hidden gem, but if you're into obscure Game Boy oddities, this one's worth a look.
