Warioware Microgames . Too many games plus you can unlock a few

Metroid Zero Mission. They actually named Samus after my dog, or the other way around. I can't remember.

Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django. It requires up to 10 SOLAR POWER!!!

Nightmare in Dreamland, because its Kirby

The Mega Man zero games

9EG over 1,500 games. Enough to play a different game, everyday, for around 4 years.

I got about 80 hours out of FINAL FANTASY V alone, playing it on the TV via a Retro Freak turns it into a great console to, and the HDMI out is better looking than even the GAME CUBE GBA Player.

Most of them are ports

It's just a shame that the gba only really had three years in the sun. As great as it was, it could have been much better with a more standard lifespan.

James Playz1 no

Also Tate Mode was pretty sweet

@@retrogameguy1734 Love TATE mode.

TLDW where

The outro too haha

That outro made me physically laugh out loud

Yeah he's getting better and better...

I love sack all the time.

Dannyvw yup especially my sack ;) ballsack

@Velzek Yeah, he's aleays been a great editor, especially compared to the kind of thing you see on youtube, on average. But that effect is fairly new ... I think he highlights each color or range of colors in the screenshot, then separates them out into layers that way. Regardless, it's a cool effect.

Def one of the best game channels on KZfaq!

Where is dave

What went down?

@@This-country-sucks-4 Nothing, it's a running joke.

@@paulbunyangonewild7596 he wasnt able to make time anymore for the channel.

The delivery was pretty funny.

juicemofo probably the loudness of everything around you

It's because the speaker on the GBA is really small, underpowered, and overall bad. Some devs even had the music synthesized 2 different ways in their games. The Metroid GBA games are most notable, the music has toggable standard and headphone models The standard mode makes the audio that the speaker struggles with louder to try and compensate. Headphone mode is the intended volume.

They sell a amp and speaker that replace the stock speaker and it sounds 1000% better... so much so you have to put all your games back in just to hear the better toons.. this upgrade with the new screens and backlights are amazing too.. lastly they have a rechargeable battery pack that takes the place of batterys and the rear cover is changed to the pack and look normal.. basicly you can pimp your advanced game boy how ever you choose... goodluck..

What does thps2 stand for?

Rania Khairy Tiny Hot Pants & Shorts 2 👌🏻

I loved 16bit style strategy games. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms games and Space Marines were my jam back on the SNES. My friend lent me his GBA for a a few days with Advance Wars 2 and he didn't see that thing for 6 months after that lol.

@ Rania Khairy: Tony Hawk Pro Skater

thanks!

hopefully your save battery didn't loose charge

Same 😅

I wasn't a big fan of the original GBA. With its horizontal orientation and no backlight. But, once I got a GBA SP that changed everything. Love the clamshell design, which protects the screen in your pocket or where ever. Of course the backlight made a huge difference. Then I got a GBA Micro. Even tho you need the little bag to protect the screen, the super clear lit screen was great. I didn't mind it being small. It was so tiny and was great to keep with you with a few games. Plus, the battery life on all GBAs was very long lasting. Such an amazing and great all around system.

@@Vegeta8300 Going to the GBA Micro, is my least favourite Game Boy. It's pretty small and no backwards compatibility with Game Boy or Game Boy Color games.

Is the new switch backlit ?

@@captainscentsible1811 why would you even ask this question?

Only thing really lacking was an exclusive Super Mario Bros. game, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VI 3D remakes, and maybe more RARE (enhanced) ports.

no one cares, geek!

@@Metalmassacre07 this was very funny thank you

I thought what he said was wierd too, He probably didn't play long enough.

Hidden gems

He's an e-begging POS!

@@bildo1977 Care to elaborate? Never seen anythign that suggests that

@@bildo1977 Never seen him beg for anything. Also asking anyone to support them on Patreon is no different than asking for someone to like and subscribe.

@@DanoLefourbe He's probably referring to one of three things: There was the incident where he tried to raise a lot of money to bring he and his friends on a cross country tour. I'm a bit iffy on that one myself. Imagine if an author wanted their customers to pay for their book tour, for example. Not just for the author, but their friends too. But even so, it fell through and things continued as normal. More recently, he posted a video about a leak in his basement. In the video itself he didn't ask for anything, but did mention that it could cost him $10,000... or something like that. In a pinned comment, he then left a link to his patreon, in case anyone wanted to help. Once again, this is a contentious subject. I am not against patreon personally; it's peak capitalism. If people are willing to pay to see the videos he makes more often and in higher quality, why not? He's providing entertainment and the people who complain about patreon while watching his videos are being hypocritical. They're essentially demanding free entertainment, which wouldn't be acceptable in any other medium. However, where I personally have a problem is that he tried to use the basement leak as a strategy to get more patrons. Because sure enough, it turned out that basement leak wasn't a $10,000 fix (To his credit, he made a video saying so). While I'm a believer in people paying for things they like, they should be under NO pressure to pay for his own personal problems. He should have kept that entire situation private, and if it came down to it, sold games to make the payment if he needed to. If I could compare it to anything, it would be like guilt-tripping your corporate boss into giving you a raise for things that have nothing to do with work. Of course, said boss would likely say no, but there are a lot of naive people on the internet who probably gave him money. The third thing is more recent and the most contentious. Recently an email surfaced of MetalJesus asking a youtuber called Last Gamer if he could come and film his collection (He has one of the biggest collections in the world). This email was from a couple of years ago when Last gamer's channel was smaller, so MJR offered to put him up on his channel and promote him as well for $3,000. For obvious reasons Last Gamer declined. Metal Jesus claims the email isn't from him. Last Gamer himself didn't leak the email, but did confirm that it was real. This one is tough to call because logically, it would be pretty dumb for MJR to send an email out like that. Then again, there's not a whole lot of reason for Last Gamer to just make this up. For this reason, some are suggesting the email was from someone trolling and impersonating MJR.

Maybe!!

@@GameSack Definitely should, the gamecube has a ton of underrated games begging to be experienced. Still my favorite from that console generation.

@@GameSack Please do

Also needs to be a GBA part 2. Tons of games were left out, including Racing Gears, Doom, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Boktai, Drill Dozer, Double Dragon Advance, scads of RPGs, and about a dozen or so Mega Man titles.

I'm just 24 but I know a lot of old music. I got it.

You... you Golden Sun! 👍 😁 👍

I hope he did XD

Is that question?

@@cptnoremac Is yours a question?

@@HollowRick My question? Yes, it's a question. I'm wondering if OP's statement is a question.

@@cptnoremac what constitutes a statement?

Wrong. It's on every damn GBA list out there.

But it's not nearly as fun when he says "tah tay" mode.

Missing music and cut down voice sample asides, it was a welcomed port for me.

It was supported for a while after tho

*Vita peeks out of bushes*

@@JoeyJ0J0 Barely as post 05 like drill dozer was all Nintendo published on it, with third party support being relatively weak ie a lot of THQ license garbage.

Sometimes you just want something and you can't do anything till you have purchased it.

Definitely try Metroid Zero Mission, it's one of my favorite Metroid games and has incredible replay value

it's only mare-i-o in brooklyn.

I do

Yes, British people

Because it's handheld . No ones talks about Handhelds with all these KZfaqrs that cover nothing but videogames

Hope Nintendo DS will be covered next

Considering Dave is a handheld nut, especially when it comes to the Gameboy line, it actually is quite a surprise that this wasn't covered years ago.

Knowing gamesack its probably because you were dealing with a gamecube if you wanted to capture real hardware. GBA consolizer came out this year and I'll bet was used to make the crystal sharp video shown here.

There some technical issues recording Handheld footage from authentic devices. No hate here for Emulation, but Emulation sometimes offer a distorted perspective and you lose the authenticity of the presentation.

Joe hates Mega Man games. Probably needed the radio buddy feature that he complains about all the time, because he couldn't figure out that he could shoot in every direction as Bass and consequently couldn't get past the first boss in the intro stage.

Final Fight was also a pretty good port in my opinion. I wish there was more beat em ups on GBA.

@@abelperez1434 Final Fight was a good port. There doesnt seem to be alot of beat em ups on the console. What I really liked about Double Dragaon Advance was that it was a unique version of the game that you couldnt get anywhere else. It was a nice surprise since I never kept up with the system. I didnt experience GBA at all until much later when on an emulation pc.

@@theconsolekiller7113 I actually didn't know that! I may have to pick a copy up for my GBA :-)

Smartlad could you share some snapshots of the magazine?

I will go as far as to say that this thing was better than Genesis with its huge color palette scaling and rotation abilities that seem like they exceeded the Super Nintendo and the sound is definitely better than the Sega Genesis and I'm a big Sega fan

More comparable to the 3DO.

Krm Dagger Nah, I'm just happy to see you... to see your mom! 👌🏻

Hi it's me Dave. Yes I have to say this obscure title I did not think it would be good to get a hold of it and it was good to see your face outta the bed and the wall will be back on my laptop but it's a bit of fun with you and see if you had a dirtbike or tomorrow morning to get a new cool I just don't think I can be whatever is easiest for me

@@ForeverLostForever can you be whatever is hardest

Lodis' SLOW unskippable combat animations basically make the game unplayable on real hardware, but I guess an emulator's fast forward button fixes that.

@@tartrazine5 Looking back, and compared to how little slowdown the DS and 3DS have had,, yeah that was a bit brutal. But for the time it was worth it for how gorgeous the graphic were and the excellent gameplay and story. I don't remmeber it hampering the experience at all.

Tactics advance is a great game. Not necessarily a great story, but it IS a great tactical rpg and if you like tactical RPGs, there's literally nothing wrong with it.

Boktai is underrated

Took long about it 😔

I recommend a nintendo ds instead for original gamrboy advance games, lighting is better and you get to play ds titles as well. The nintendo dsi console removed the gameboy advance cartridge slot but by softmodding a dsi you can still play gameboy advance games from an sd card and ds games and emulators for consoles like nes snes sega genesis...

@@aspinia thanks for the recommendation:)

@@aspinia However, the DS Lite's face bottons are not as good as the ones for GBA actions.

Same here, and yes it did!

Should have gotten a worm light or something

@@clercillo that would've made all the difference. 1% atually

Yeah I can't stand anime but this is a great game. The awesome channel SNESdrunk talked about it, which is how I even know about it. It's got brilliant animation, and is a great beat em up. I'm not very good at it but there seems to be tons of different moves and combos you can do. It's got a 1 on 1 fighting game mode as well as the story

I was thinking about the same. And considering I'm the third commenting I'm not the only one lol. Even the 1v1 fighting game mode is brilliant. And I love many of the Dragon Ball games for GBA, except for the obvious ones that were atrocious.

@Jayro Jones nope... AGS-101 is very infrequent...

sorry for the off topic thing but wow a plug profile pic - you a Beano fan?

Jep, first Time i saw it, but it looks great :)

turn. He does his little turn on the catwalk.

Hellwyck - Crap, you’re right. It’s been a minute since I heard it. Lol

@maltese 84 Not true. People born in the 80's hates it.

Jesper Karlsson heard good things!!!!!!

Mother 3 might be one of the best games of all time. Also, the Summon Night: Swordcraft Story series was also amazing. There's a Fire Emblem game that was never released outside of Japan for the GBA. There are Tales of.. games that also never made it out of Japan. A person could make a whole episode on GBA translations.

Most overrated game ever. Only hipsters care for it.

I like Sonic way more than Pokemon. I really only played Gen 1 & 2.

@Masilith Yeah, cause it started in a dark room, so that's where I thought it was going.

@Masilith Oh wait I see, typo, haha.
