Рет қаралды 368,301
2 жыл бұрынBack during the Game Boy Color days, Nintendo decided to fund a series of games based on Hamtaro. Across multiple handhelds and genres, this little hamster went on many adventures EXCLUSIVE to Nintendo consoles! Interesting information, for sure, but are the games actually fun?

So fun fact: the first Hamtaro game isn't really a pet simulator game. It's actually a daily fortune teller game. That's why Hamtaro asks for things like your birthday and blood type. Hamtaro walking around his cage and eating is just something for you to look at while the game's internal clock ticks down to the next time you can get your fortune told. Another fun fact: the lead designer for that game was SO inspired by it that he created the Tomodachi Life series. No this is not a joke.

OMG same! I actually ended up getting stuck in the Manor more than once. I stumbled upon the solution to the place in the Manor I had gotten stuck at, but then I had to replay the game from the start not long after (due to save data getting deleted by a family friend's kid), during which I got stuck at the same part for years without being able to remember how I solved it... I played that game SO much, and always ended up going back to it if I didn't know what to play on GBA. I have so many fond memories of everything in that game except for the last Hula Dance contest; that last routine was so ridiculously specific and I only beat it years later because I found the solution on the internet somewhere lol

Let’s be glad it’s only Video game characters, the smash community is way too ruthless for their requests and give Sakurai way too much of a hard time for what he gives in smash. I honestly think that Sakurai had some kind of foresight to this and acted accordingly. It also has been stated that his choice of video game only characters was also partly due to it being his friend/co-workers dying wish.

@Master Shifu I'm telling you Sakurai has been inconsistent. He even considered James Bond who obviously didn't originate in gaming. And again, the SMT series didn't either. His arbitrary rules mean nothing.

Ham Ham Heartbreak was such a fun part of my childhood. I really wish we got more Hamtaro. We were so close with Story of Seasons Trio of Towns a few years ago. But Hamtaro ended up being a Japanese exclusive.

I love the Hamtaro anime and maybe even more so the games, the GBA ones plus Unite in particular, it's a shame practically nobody even mentions them so thank you for covering them! 4:55 Didn't know about this, no surprise I enjoyed Unite and Heartbreak so much then, Mole Mania is another game that I really like! 12:16 Beautiful, too bad they didn't include it in the final game.

1:58 You just brought back some dark memories of me watching Ebichu online 6 years ago thinking it was some sort of Hamtaro spinoff. My innocence has since diminished...

Ham-Ham Heartbreak was always one of my favorite games on the GBA. I remember the clerk at the store I bought it at making fun of me for buying it because I guess I was a little too old to be enjoying Hamtaro at the time but, whatever, I had a blast with that game.

One of my co-workers kids had a couple the GBA Hamtaro games and when I was bored with the few DS games I had at the time she let me borrow some of their GBA games. Ham Ham Heartbreak and Rainbow rescue were oddly compelling even though I was mom age for its target audience.

I was so excited when I saw you post this video. I had a VHS of the Hamtaro anime that had ads for Hamtaro merch, including the Game Boy Color game. I would later find a rom of it and play it a bunch on my computer. Thank you for making a video on these cool games.

Thanks for doing this, the first three games (minus the fortune telling one) are my favs. I find myself replaying them out of nostalgia sometimes, it’s hard to believe Hamtaro games were as great as they were before ultimately succumbing to shovelware tier. Hamtaro will always be a part of my fav childhood memories, the show and games cemented that.

Hamtaro is surprisingly one of the most well known anime ever,but I didn’t know that they’ve made so many games based around this adorable little hamster 🐹. Even it got its N64 game,which is even more amazing. It’s really incredible that how much handheld games they’ve made and Nintendo themselves have endorsed it in their library of games. Hamtaro is indeed the king of all kawaiis.

As a kid I was a big fan of the anime, and saw one of these games in the local toy shop. So naturally I begged my mom to get it. When we got home she though it was "too childish" for me and went back to trade it in for a different game. She got me the GBA version of DKC, which, I guess isn't a bad trade. But man I feel ilke I've been missing out on this experience.

Hamtaro was one of the first anime that I saw as a little kid. I loved it, but I gradually forgot about it since I was a small child when it was on. I didn't have any home media of the anime, just a book and a polly pocket like toy of Hamtaro, and those were the only two items I had to prove that Hamtaro wasn't just a thing that I had made up. I found out about Ham-Ham Heartbreak when I was in middle school from the internet and I was so excited that it existed. I got a used copy and It's still one of my favorite GBA games.
