I'm honestly not sure how this episode will go over—it's the longest video I've produced to date, and it's kind of off-topic (grouped under Game Boy Works Gaiden because Mr. Driller 2 will be showing up on Game Boy Works Advance eventually). It's 100% self-indulgent. It's also a little uneven as retrospectives go, since it kind of mutated as I was writing it... this was really meant just to be a quick overview of the Mr. Driller DrillLand remaster. The good news is that if you hate this, the next few videos I have on tap are much more along the lines of business as usual....

Mr. Driller: DrillLand & The History of Mr. Driller | Game Boy Works Gaiden #05

I had intended to take a deep dive into the history of Mr. Driller once Mr. Driller 2 showed up in Game Boy Works Advance, but then Bandai Namco had to go and remaster the best game in the series before I got there. So I've jumped the gun a bit for this combination retrospective (of the franchise) and review (of Mr. Driller DrillLand). It's terribly self-indulgent and overlong, but I'm afraid that's just how it has to be. Special thanks to GSK and Quintin Marcelino for their contributions to this episode, and to Bandai Namco for providing a review code of the U.S. release of DrillLand.
