Yeah, I know, I said I wasn't going to do another Game Boy World for a while. But then I spent all day and night yesterday with my computer tied up ripping LP records for a Retronauts episode, which meant couldn't do any audio recording or video editing work. Instead, I used the down time to write this script, and it all snowballed from there.

I would like to offer you a comprehensive look at the video game Patlabor: The Mobile Police, but unfortunately the language barrier and lack-of-quality barrier both conspired to keep me from making much progress here. So please enjoy instead a video that's about 2/3s a fond look at Patlabor the franchise and a few minutes of "meh" about the game.

Someone actually predicted this exact outcome for the content mix, incidentally. So, well done, you.

Patlabor: The Mobile Police retrospective: Well, at least the anime's good | Game Boy World #081

Yep, it's another Game Boy release based on an anime, and you know what that means: The game itself is pretty lousy and forgettable, so the episode mostly consists of me waxing rhapsodic about the property itself. Patlabor was great, and deserved a MUCH nicer interactive adaptation.
