I really loved playing Summon Night 1 and 2 for the GBA. It was one of the games I would replay so many times just because I wanted to see the story and each interaction with each Summon. It's also a shame the main series has not many games translated

@thatvideogamesshow 2 года назад

Such solid RPGs!

@PsychomachineryEBM 2 года назад

Both were great. Sadly underrated, tho.

@ShinKuroNeko77 2 года назад

Can't agree more. Also a shame the 3rd GBA game never got translated, because it was just as fun. Maglam Lord is the closest thing we'll get to those, but it isn't really the same.

@SonplaysMinEcraft 2 года назад

remake?

@cam9144 2 года назад

I completely passed over the GBA era and was more focused on consoles. A few years in as the GBA was dying down I picked one up for super cheap with some great RPGs: Shining Force, Final Fantasy 1 & 4, FF Tactics, Fire Emblems, Golden Suns, Lunar. It definitely gets played when I'm on airplanes for long travel.

@thatvideogamesshow 2 года назад

It’s a great little handheld!

@SamuraiMasenko 2 года назад

The GBA version of Lunar is generally considered to be the worst "modern" version (although not bad, just the worst out of the available versions, still definitely a decent title) and the PS1 and PSP versions are considered to be the more defining ways to play the story. PSP emulation has no real heavy hardware requirements, so I would definitely recommend trying out that version if you liked the GBA one! The PS1 version is also good, and it was one of my favorite video games when I was still in single digits, along with Wild Arms and Legend of Legaia.

@martincasperson2248 2 года назад

Thr first 2 Golden Sun games are definitely top tier RPGs. Sunk so many hours into them. The Advanced Wars Series ate up a lot of my time as well.

@Pridetoons 2 года назад

I already knew about all of these games. The GBA was my main console as a kid. Drill Dozer is my Childhood!!!

Lady Sia is such a gem, can’t believe it’s forgotten. That game gave hours and hours of fun 🤩

@grahamk7571 2 года назад

Aww man... no Mech Platoon?! Such an ambitious game that played well! A super early GBA title with pre-rendered cutscenes and real-time strategy that handled quite nicely for a hand held!

@supermonk3y07 2 года назад

The GBA along with the PS1, PS2 and Nintendo DS have libraries that are not only huge but also many of their games were awesome. Even if just 20 or 30% of them are good, you still have AT LEAST 800 good games available in EACH of those consoles. Thanks for listing the forgotten gems of the Gameboy Advance. A large library with lots of great games. I liked the rectangular indigo console and even the SP how it was compact and had a clamshell design and (a nice screen at least for it's time).

@thatvideogamesshow 2 года назад

So many great games!

Most people won't know that Sabre Wulf is a series that originally goes back to the early home computers of the 80s. Developed by Ultimate back before they were known as RARE, used to make games for the ZX Spectrum before the Stamper Bros sold off Ultimate to US Gold to therefore focus on the NES and become RARE. The GBA game has nothing to do with the original ZX games, but it takes elements of the older games and tries to adapt the best parts to the classic RARE formula and it came off as being a mixed bag. Certainly one of RARE's better GBA games outside of the remakes of Donkey Kong Country.

@chicoti3 2 года назад

I've recently been playing Snap Kids. It's like if yugioh and pokemon snap had a kid. The gameplay during battles is similar to yugioh but the way you get new cards is where the game shines. You have to look for monsters in their natural habitat and take pictures with a special camera. The camera then prints the picture, exactly as it is, as a card. The interesting part is that depending on what the monster was doing when you snapped the shot, the card will have different stats and skills. If you take a picture of the monster spitting acid, for instance, the card you get will have that ability. But every monster is unique and you have to learn their habits and secrets to be able to snap strong cards. The story also helps keep the game fresh. As you progress you'll get access to new areas with new monsters. The battles can also be pretty hard. All and all is a great game on the gba, but very few people know it in the west since it's a japan exclusive.

The gameplay from Kuru Kuru Kururin was obviously borrowed for Roundabout... the game where you drive around in a rotating limousine driving passengers around. It's bonkers!
