One underrated game that I highly recommend is Summon Night Swordcraft Story. It’s like a standard RPG with dungeon crawling and weapon crafting aspects, but the gameplay shifts to almost like a 2D beat-‘em-up style (closest I can compare to is like Zelda 2) whenever you encounter an enemy.

Boktai is particularly cool because the sensor has basically made it immune to emulation. Sad that it means it's stayed relatively "unknown" despite being a very well received game but at the same time - nice that there are still a few games out there which keep their mystique! Playing through it on a backlit gameboy, actually trying to get some light on the console, is a really cool idea that's still extremely distinct.

My favorite GBA game back then was The Urbz: Sims in the City. Very underrated IMO! The GBA/DS version is a completely different game than the console version. The graphics are amazing for a GBA game, the story is simple, but a lot of fun, the characters are varied and memorable and the music is some of the best I've heard in a GBA game. If you want to check the music out: you can find a video with the full OST, completely remastered on the YT-channel of the original composer, Ian Stocker. The Urbz has an (semi) open world, a lot of great mini games, multiple apartments you can rent and furniture, secret rooms to discover and more. It's the perfect game to play if you just want to relax. Would highly recommend! And if you want more after you've finished Urbz: It's predecessor, Sims Bustin' Out, is very similar and very good as well. It has very similar gameplay and graphics. It's a little less polished than The Urbz, but just as fun. If I could only play one I would recommend Urbz over Sims Bustin' Out though, just because it's more polished and more memorable.

Boktai and Boktai 2 are two of my favorite games of all time. They were perfect and the solar sensor was the coolest quirk of any game of the time (or even nowadays). I ended up selling my copies because the batteries died in both of them and I didn't have the means to get them repaired. One day I'll splurge and rebuy them, though. They're worth every penny. Absolutely perfect. Kojima made my childhood that much sunnier.

Big reason for quite a few of these games going relatively unknown went from being released after the launch on the Nintendo DS in 2004. Despite featuring a mastering of the GBA hardware with some of the best graphics the system could push, people were simply switching to DS games. This happens everytime a new console is released, the previous console is very quickly dropped by the majority for the new shiny machine, even if games continue to be released for it. As such many of these become huge collects items from their limited run released and small numbers of sales makes them very rare to find.

GT3 is badass. It looks so good for a GBA game, and while it's VERY linear (every car unlock is far better than the previous ones) it's a fun little romp and controls better than you'd think. I bought it when I was 12, loved it, lost it, then rebought it years later because I had such a good time with it.

Some more hidden gems: *Shining Soul 2* - Awesome, addicting action RPG. If you want something like Diablo on the GBA, pick this. Also a massive improvement over the first title. *The King Of Fighters EX2 Howling Blood* - There's the "impossible" Street Fighter Alpha 3 port and the first GBA KoF stinks in comparison but EX2 is somehow even better than SFA3! *Harcore Pinball* - This is actually one of the best flat 2D-scrolling pinball games. Has 4 dope tables that are better than those in "Epic Pinball" which was the 2D pinball reference before. *Ultimate Card Games* - giant collection of well implemented card games. I could play Video Poker for hours. Secretly got the most playtime of my GBA cardridges (and I own a lot).

These are good. The 2nd Shining Soul is a major step up from the 1st - same with KOF EX. I recommend Summon Night Swordcraft Story 1 and 2.

I actually still own my GBA copy of Scurge Hive since 2004. I known about it when browsing gamefaqs or gametrailers. I saw a quick little trailer of it amd I was sold. Woedully underrated game and uses plenty of brilliant ideas to keep it's gameplay fresh and engaging. I also own the original Boktai and now I wish I owned Boktai 2 as that one was a vast improvement over the original. I regret selling Iridion 2 when I got it one christmas day with my GBA SP. Some other games on this list I had the chance to pick up and never did. I had really good taste in games when I was younger, just never had as much money to get them all.

Scruge hive was really fun, I thought the Ds version was a sequel, sadly it wasn't. Ninja five 0 was truly a surprise, didn't think I could like it, cause the graphics wasn't for me. But the gameplay made me stick it out. Metabots was and is one of my top 3 favorites games on GBA. And calling it a knock off is insulting, the only thing it had was collecting parts, but the whole system was unique. Boktai really made me mad, I really didn't want to go outside to play it. Yggdra was cool, but I prefer the advance war style.
@zeroattentiongaming820
@zeroattentiongaming820 2 года назад
Medabots was slightly annoying with how you needed a very rare item to run from fights, which could get tedious but it was still great. Shame we never got any of the other games in that sub series outside Japan but if we had to only get one pair, those were apparently the best ones to get.

I gotta add to the praise for this game: Astro Boy for the GBA is an amazing handheld game and just an amazing game in general. The audio, the visuals, the characters, the story --and of course the game play--are excellent. I was surprised with how deep the story was. Its really an underrated gem of a game across any console and its one of my favorite 2D side scrollers of till this day, across any console/platform.

I like Invincible Iron Man. I never even heard of it until after the GBA was no longer supported, so it seemed like an obscure gem to me. I’ve beaten the hell out of it lots of times.

Drill Dozer is also an insanely good game. The plot may seem somewhat simple, but the gameplay is exciting. Interesting puzzles, bosses which need both good strategy and timing, maps with different environment and hidden areas. Post-game content includes puzzles to test how fast and accurate you are. Breath of Fire 1 and 2 is also good. Quite traditional RPG, but transforming yourself into different powerful dragons and sweeping enemies is always amazing, plus you can fuse your characters into a new one.

I didn't mention Boktai also appeared in Mega Man Battle Network games such as 4, 5, 6 and Mega Man Star Force. Also Mega Man.EXE appeared in Boktai 2. Geo Stelar, Star Force Mega Man and Omega-Xis appeared on Lunar Knights.
