BoxTrick: A Retro Gaming Podcast

The Nintendo 3DS was a powerhouse handheld packed with charm, personality, and some of the most memorable games of its generation. In this episode, Age_of_Retro returns to dive deep into what made the 3DS era so unforgettable. We’re talking Animal Crossing: New Leaf, with its cozy life-sim perfection… Pokémon X, a game that reinvented the series in 3D… and New Super Mario Bros. 2, the gold-collecting platformer that brought classic Mario energy to the handheld.

We break down what made each title special, why the 3DS library still holds up today, and how the system fostered a unique era of creativity, StreetPass culture, and portable gaming magic. Whether you were filling out your Pokédex, collecting endless coins in Mario, or building the perfect town in New Leaf, the 3DS offered something for everyone—and its legacy deserves to be celebrated.

🎮 Episode 110 — Game Boy Classics

In this episode of the BoxTrick Podcast, we’re diving deep into the golden age of handheld gaming with three legendary Game Boy titles: Super Mario Land, Pokémon Blue, and Metroid II: Return of Samus.

We talk about how these games helped define Nintendo’s iconic handheld era — from Mario’s first portable adventure, to the Pokémon phenomenon that changed gaming forever, to the Metroid sequel that quietly shaped the series’ future. We also reflect on their legacy, gameplay quirks, and why they still hold up decades later.

Whether you grew up with a Game Boy in your hands or you’re discovering these classics for the first time, this episode is a nostalgic trip worth taking.
