Is there a game that should have made it on the list? Let me know in the comments below. Make sure to check out my Top 100 Nintendo 3DS video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebyDqrZ1z7m9mnU.html

Gba game library was so good, most of the games in the top 40 of this list can easily be in the top 10. The game library was absolutely stacked, my favorite handheld of all time and just video game system overall

Such an amazing system. Anybody who loves the 16 bit era and hasn’t explored the GBA library yet is in for a treat. Honestly one of the all time best game libraries.

I’ve seen SOOO MANY of these videos! And let me just say this one was a nice change of pace from the normal show a clip and count down to 1.

Your edit is so nice man. I appreciate you adding the name and box art. Keep up the good work

So glad to see Golden Sun getting the love it deserves

Well documented and informative review ❤

Great list and great production value on the video! Glad to see Advanced Wars and Sonic Advance 2 get appropriate ratings. 💯

GBA on the PVM/CRT is the new hotness Minish cap has been so sick on it

Pretty good list! Definitely one of the better ones I've seen. You can definitely tell you made the list based on your own personal preference as opposed to reviews or the community hype around them. You even mentioned MegaMan Battle Network albeit at a pretty high number but still, no other video I've watched so far even talks about those games and they're amazing. In any case, thanks for the list. Gonna start downloading some of these again.

Good job man!! Awesome quality and more gameplay time!! Thanks a lot!!!

Really nice job putting this together. Great video, just the right amount of gameplay video per game, great job including the cover art and the title graphics are really nice. Kudos.

here after apple removed emulator bans from the app store

Great video showing gameplay and information of each game

22:50 Golden Sun was to me the peak of GBA, of what it can do, but pro tony hawk s looks incredible too for this console.

Great list, I love it! ✌️😁🎮

Nice list and very nicely presented for someone like me discovering GBA games years after the console prime 👍🏼

Solid list! Came across a rom set that has most of these at the very least so I'm pretty much set for my GBA library.

0:16: 100. Super Dodge Ball Advance 0:39: 99. Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Games 0:56: 98. Konami Krazy Racers 1:17: 97. Max Payne 1:37: 96. Iridion II 1:58: 95. The Pinball of the Dead 2:17: 94. Ultimate Spider-Man 2:37: 93. Phantasy Star Collection 2:57: 92. Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 3:17: 91. Spyro 2: Season of Flame

Phew... you had me worried for a second there. Was about to say "No Zero Mission!?" but you put it in first and while I'm not a huge Metroid fan in terms of gameplay, I love the aesthetic and it's the only Metroid game I've ever put in the time to beat. I loved the hell out of it, fantastic game. It's a _prime_ example of how to do a remake.

Great useful video!

Brilliant video - really admire the effort

really super happy you have gradius galaxies as a personal favorite. I always had to borrow games from cousins & while my tiny brain could barely stand golden sun, he gave me gradius as well T-T

Fantastic list! I've got all of em.

I great list! I miss Medabots in this list. It was a great game

Thank you for these lists! I know for more games i can search for my console ^^!

Very good ! Thks !

Metroid Zero Mission is awesome.

13:40 Amazing list! I can't wait to try most of them! Although calling SFA3 a "decent port" was the understatement of the day x_x

Yo thank you so much for this! I've discovered new games!

ugh chain of memories was incredible. i remember getting so excited just from the tv commercial

Great list. I still play Advance Wars now and again. I also really liked Double Dragon.

love the list! Can you make one for top 100 ps1 games?

Sonic Battle at 83rd place broke my heart😭. I love that game! Okay you placed Aria of Sorrow higher than I thought it would be

Theres this taiwanese published weekly or monthly comic (kinda of like shounen jump but its not) ,it has the games,toys and comics trending at that time (when i was 9,10 years old,20over years ago), megaman battle network and war advance always featured inside, that lead me to trying other games like golden sun, legend of zelda and yugioh. I would say gameboy is really one of the best handheld console and my fave till now. Thank you for making this video, alot of wonderful childhood memories 😊

Nice!

thanks for info

Good recommendations overall

Interesting list

22:00 It was disrespectful for me to see this Fire Emblem in 35th place. For me this is easily top 3. first to come to the West, stupendous soundtrack, highly polished gameplay. It was this game that made me a fan of strategy games.

I'd forgotten about the Episode III Revenge of the Sith, but that was a fun game - it was great how there were different playthroughs for Anakin and Obi-Wan. Nice list!

In 35th place you put Fire emblem 7, Blazing sword, which is indeed the first one that came to the west.... But the gameplay shown is fire emblem 6 with English fan translation xd

Very well presented, I would say Nightmare Before Christmas also deserves to be up there.

I was about to say if i don't see Binding Blade on this list... but I guess you technically put it on there...? Number 35 on this list is Fire Emblem, but I see Fire Emblem Binding Blade footage. Sacred Stones is definitely in the top 15!

I like the layout of the video. Nice job ❤

Wow dude thats such a great list! Bomberman advance was a personal favourite not there. Golden sun all time

Nice! If u can do a top 100 for all the consoles, incluided pc games. Grettings. Keep up the good work!

So cool video decor...

I loved Kingdom Hearts but I could never beat one of the final bosses. Interesting that I played a bunch of the games in this list as a child. Feels good I was lucky to own some of them.

The fact WarioLand 4 wasnt put in top 10 is criminal imo

Should try Shaman King Master of Spirits 1 and 2, they have the gameplay of Castlevania and would surely take a spot here

The best FF of all times at 21st shows how great GBA is

Bold choice but I respect it and could agree on the right day, zero mission is amazing and includes the og version too

I would love a GB/GBC List

Thank you! I'm going to download some of these games on my phone to play the heck out of them. Loving Golden sun so far. GBA for life!

19:24 Great game. You really had to play it back in the day, though, with a genuine cartridge, an original GBA and a window on a sunny day you were desperately trying to get as much sunlight in to hit the sensor. I've still yet to beat the game, even with the advantages of an emulator with save states and cheats. It's so easy to get lost in. It's far from perfect, but there is serious novelty in the concept of using actual real-world sunlight to power your weapon (and change your environments) and the game's aesthetic and setting is pretty good. I'd liken it visually to a more child-friendly Castlevania or something, I guess. The world is dark, but not edgy dark or anything, and the emphasis on monsters and vampires will catch the eye of anyone who enjoys a supernatural game or two. Also, you literally cannot complete this game without sunlight or a modded ROM to emulate the sunlight sensor. One of the bosses literally goes into a coffin and requires sunlight on the sensor in order to charge up the markings you put him on and properly defeat him. Oh and as for the weaponry, you actually get a ton of various alterations in the form of "frames" and "lenses". Frames can change the spread and I believe lenses change the type of attack. So you don't just have to shoot little orbs at people, you can create an arc kind of like... idk, a controlled flamethrower, and literally add the fire type to it to burn enemies while you're at it. It works very well. There are even stealth elements in the game and you can lure enemies by leaning against a wall and tapping on it Solid Snake style. Considering it was published by Konami, I doubt the similarities are accidental, but they're relatively small. EDIT: For those who want to play via emulation, I should mention there's an excellent Solar Sensor Patch by Prof9 on Github that works for all three games, including the Japanese title that never released in the west, Boktai 3.

Amazing editing. Terrible order. Great video!

Ngl, having battle network 1-4 in the same spot is CRAZY, 3 stands leagues above those games, and not having 6 is a travesty.

That's not Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade footage. That's the translation footage for the previous title, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. Still, I admire this video.

As a kid, I always thought the GBA was just a portable SNES (which, don't get me wrong, blew me away), but after revisiting the line up, it seems like it handled 3D perspective better. Is this because the device is more capable than the SNES or is it because devs were starting to get better at making games that weren't too down RPGs and side scrolling platformers around this time?

I remember I traded digimon battle spirit1 for a GameCube, multiple games, and some remotes. I only paid seven bucks for that digimon game

Its such a shame the third summon night never got a proper English translation. SERIOUSLY??? They added bows too which is such a cool addition to the weapons. Swordcraft story series were one of my most thoroughly enjoyed gbas and i wanted to see through the plt of the third one so bad

Imo the GBA (including the GBA SP) is tied with the NES/Famicom for being not just the best console hardware but the best overall console ecosystems (taking into account the time and state of the gaming landscape into which they were released) that Nintendo has ever produced. To me, and I have a feeling I'm not the only one that feels this way, the GBA feels like the culmination of everything that Nintendo had learned about gaming (in particular 2D games, but also some limited 3D) up to that point. There are so many fantastic games for the GBA that utilize the hardware in such a wide variety of interesting ways that I suspect it is virtually impossible to play them all even if you are only playing the best games the system has to offer.

I love Rayman Advance :’)

Just a note, Fire Emblem gameplay shown is from The Binding Blade starring Roy (which now has English translations available) but the game listed is 'Fire Emblem' (The Blazing Blade OR Rekka no Ken) starring his father Eliwood. Both are great :)

what a champ... quoting himself in his video :D

glad that mother 3 was recognized despite it being japan only

Imagine you put all Gameboy Advance games on your Super Famicon/ Super Nintendo Mini, that will be satisfied and addicted. 😅😅

Today my GBA arrived, and is the best console i could ever get

The only mistake gba has is not having its own mario

I always do tons of research on what roms to get and I feel super nostalgic while doing so because the GBA was absolutely amazing when I was younger. Then I sit down to play the games and get bored of them super quickly and realize fast that I'd just rather play newer games.

Is the Device pictured for each game the Device you Prefer to play it on?

No Hamtaro Rainbow Rescue, such a shame :(

5. Kirby and the Amazing Mirror 4. FF6 Advance 3. Metroid Fusion 2. Pokémon Emerald 1. Zelda MC

Mother 3 being 23rd is a huge crime

Nice info! But Pokemon is the best! (My Opinion) 😆

Advance guardians heroes, very good!

I have been looking for an old game for the GBA for years now. It was a game in which you would control little aliens/monsters from a top down view. The little monsters/aliens would transfer their consciousness to other ones in different parts of the level and solve puzzles until you got them all together or a specific # of them to pass the level or area and progress to the other part. In some sections you would have as if it was poop monsters and the dynamic was the same, the only difference was you would flush them down a “toilet” and you would need a specific number of them to pass. If you somehow got any of them hurt/killed you could not advance. Anybody remember the name or know about this game?

Only MMBN 1-4??! What about 5 and 6? 5 definitely should have been here

32:30 pros: marluxia battle music Endgame content

My favorit Game in Gameboy is Shining Soul 2

I can't believe you placed tactics ogre on 26... thay game it's awesome to not be on the top 10 in gba

Mate get the Sims games for GBA. They're weird but funky. Just saying.

I forgot the name of the Japanese GBA game title where the character has a weapon, namely a hat that can be thrown. and this is an action advance adventure type game. With theme castle, carnival & magician skill. If you know the name of this game, you are a pro game player of all genres.

Game boy advance for the first time ever all

that blonde kid in a red shirt on mother 3 game looks like billy chris spunkygal (made up character that isn't used in real series or movies).

Good games

It’s your own preference and you’ve done a great job just think sonic battle is way better than being placed 83rd

Quality

Mother 3 debería ser número 1.

Mother 3 is my favourite

I miss sword of mana on this list

you missed a lot of very good game, but is your ranking so it's ok!

I managed to get Metroid Zero Mission complete in box around 2013 from some dude on Craigslist for $30. Prices are ridiculous now

Gba have very good games

Hmmmm Sims busting out y The Urbz were good ones too

Curious that you bunched up Battle Networks 1-4 all on one entry. I probably would have included 3 and 6 on the list separately, as they are the best of each half of the series (3 has the best story of the whole set and greatly refined the gameplay, and 6 takes the gameplay to a whole new level). Alternatively, group 2, 3, 5, and 6 together as one entry and leave out 1 and 4 which are the weakest games owing to 1 being the most basic and 4 being the most tedious.

Krazy Racers at #98 is a travesty

How in this100 game list there's no Riviera or Yggdra Union is beyond me😬

Golden Sun 2 #1
