Nintendo GameBoy Advance / GBA Games Hidden GEMS 2 

The Metal Jesus robot (tm) is programmed to do that every 29.97 seconds

+MetalJesusRocks OH MY FUCKING GOD METAL JESUS REPLIED TO ME WHOOOHOOO

+Azhar it's like the hand of God rested briefly on your shoulder isn't it? Or maybe a sloppy kiss from your German Shepherd. One of the two.

+John Gower Yes yes its like the hand of god gave me a hand job. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE....IT'S AMAAAAZZING

it looks like you got noticed by the senpai.

You can't help but like the guy. Jason seems to know a lot of really nice people.

Check out Reggie's channel! Breaking the seal is such a funny FU to sealed collectors.

,are you gay too

@@jamesgreen6376 why does he gotta be gay homie??? Nothing to do with what people do behind closed doors.

@@Alienfanatic Birds of a feather....

Agreed!

Agreed, they've helped me discover so many great games over the course of this series.

yep they're dumb, i know for a fact its not not THIS channel. these guys just love games and all these series have helped a lot of my collections for gamecube, ps2 and ive had great times thanks to metal Jesus. dont worry about those commenters they dont know what're talking about

Emulators r a thing so all these games r free

Agreed.

Hey guys. Love your hidden gems videos - thank you :). As for the discussion at the end of the video, I believe some of us might be looking at this the wrong way. You're not the ones driving prices up. The only thing you guys do is let us know about very cool games that we probably wouldn't know about otherwise - you're doing us a service :). If there's someone to blame here is us, when we decide to buy a game even if the price is ludicrous. That's what drives prices up. If re-sellers see they can get away with high prices, they will sell them at those prices. If there's not a market for expensive games, prices will go down. So please keep the hidden games coming. And Reggie, don't worry about this because it's definitely not your fault. :)

Great video guys. You've opened my eyes to so many new games. On a side note to the whole game prices issue, have you considered doing a video on how new collectors can spot bootleg Gameboy Advance games? Much love all the way from the UK.

+Radical Reggie good job guys, another cool video

ways to know are if you can see a two digit number pressed in the game cartridge sticker, look under the cartridge and see a nintendo logo, check the game cartridge sticker and make sure a code that looks like this AGB-AAWJ-JPN when googled actually belongs to the game title, that one belongs to contra hard spirits. those are some ways to tell

Also copyright and piracy laws are a thing

There is nothing wrong with downloading ROMs that you aren't able to buy New. Not everyone can afford a physical copy + a system. However, yes it's piracy if the game is re-released as a digital copy somewhere. (e.g. Virtual Console).

ROMS are for people that are not into collecting but want to play the game anyway. Any collector prefer the real deal.

I didn't realise that every collector has enough disposable income to be able to buy every single game they desires to play.

To expand upon my original post.... If you truly really dearly care about collecting the physical game and are a collector. Then price of a game going from $10 to $15 shouldn't matter to you. Because real talk, that's the "price hiking" that is, IF at all, happening. And for the few expensive and rare games, they are usually about $40. For people that just want to play the games because they are fun, using ROMs should not be an issue. Yeah yeah, its "piracy". But honestly devs and publishers only care if you are pirating their new releases. Seeing as they are not even making new copies of these games at all. Buying them used is not profit for the publisher and is seen as just bad to a publisher.

+FrostArael hahaha!

+MetalJesusRocks Do a Hidden Reggies video.

I too am a Reggimon: Reginald Monster collector. Reggimon are the champions. For that reason, I just gotta catch all of 'em. Reginald Monster ranching is a tough profession to be in these days, and the rising prices don't help. The prices are really blasting off, again.

Great vid

I emulate my Reggies

That's exactly what I used these videos for as well. I also highly recommend a channel called "That Video Games Show". They cover tons of hidden gems for basically every system

Amen.

Amen brodah!

I haven't seen any haters yet and I've watched like 10 of these videos and read the comment sections.

its not hate, its actually truth that the prices do go up, yea its not their fault because they are just sharing cool games, but the prices do go up, that is fact, not fiction.

i'm a hater. hate me!! AAAARGGHHH!

+scir 91 i dont know u bro

ok

Cool game

Great game, but a Capcom Hideo Kojima game is not a hidden gem

Big names don't really mean it's well known. It wasn't initially received all that well. I never find it in the wild, and a lot of people I know have never even heard of it. So yeah, hidden gem.

That said I'm speaking mostly for the american audience. I know in Japan this game did fairly well.

In Europe I think it was well known, there was a ton of good reviews. However it was horrible to have to play outside (solar captor)... Maybe this influenced the buyers.

Exactly

2001 ;)

um how havent you played that game so good

King of Fighters is such a great series. As for the female characters, I always LOVED Athena, Mai, King, Leona, and Mary. Great looking and playing characters.

your cute :) whats your i.g?

Pathetic man. Sad when you gotta flirt with girls over the internet just for any form of attention from them.

You sir, have a good understanding of what we're trying to do. Thank you

Thanks I appreciate that. For the record,I have some of these games. Actually sought out Lady Sia from one of these videos.

vendors and stores are only raising the prices because the demand for these games goes up after these types of videos come out. people are exposed to games they may not have heard of that they think they might like, so they seek them out and buy them. if more people weren't buying them, the prices would not go up. in a free market, the prices don't just go up by themselves. there is no conspiracy among the sellers to raise prices when these videos come out. if you go to a store that does raise prices based on a YT vid, then go to another store or buy on-line. ebay has made it impossible for local price collusion to be possible anymore.

I really don't think that's true. Even with what you say,it's still the greed and avarice of the given store and vendor that drives the price up. These videos do not directly or indirectly cause games to go up in price. And schweatty perhaps you misunderstood. Obviously no store will raise the price of anything due to a RU-vid video specifically. My point was they MAY have seen it. And it MAY influence pricing choices. And it's hard for me to believe that there's a mad throng of people rushing to these places seeking out retro video games in the numbers it would take to influence prices. The local store in my area just decided to change the pricing system of their GBA games. They used to be a lower fixed price. Now they aren't. The reason they changed their policy was because,as I can see behind the counter,they use video game price guides to gauge how much the games are. Online list videos don't seem to influence the sales at all,or the pricing choices. Same goes for a lot of the indie vendors I've been to outside of town. They have collector guides. And they aren't being inundated with customers with attitudes like "we say a specific game on a RU-vid video,do you have it?". So I agree with Reggie and Metal Jesus here. It's not the fault of people like them that drives the prices up.

I'm not saying its anyone's fault, but they do have an influence on game sales. You said yourself in your first post "They've helped me a lot in knowing what some of the games are like for my GBA,PSP and 3DS systems." so you go out and buy what you like. so do the other 35,500 people that have seen this video as of the time i am typing this. i myself have bought games based on what i like from these hidden gems videos. and when more people buy the same games, that means the demand goes up. the supply of these old games is fixed and the better the game, the less likely someone is willing to sell it, so there are less games available than people willing to buy them and the price goes up. where do you think the price guides you are talking about determine the prices? its from observed transactions in the market. its not just made up numbers. bottom line: its not greed and avarice, its the basic economic principles of supply and demand.

gumby 😇😇

oh no..

damage did. now gumby goes up to 40

4 out of 10 copies sold in the last 3 months have been sold today...

Idiots can't wait a while? People keep doing this cause dumbasses keep paying...

Playing a FPS shooter on the GBA that isn't Doom or Doom 2, just seems crazy to me.

g1nobleteam well believe it or not there are a lot of good fps games on the gba

+Kulax I probably wouldn't believe it if you detailed a thesis on GBA FPS games as I can barely adapt to first person shooters on one analog systems nowadays.

I just started a new file on LoG2 lol super addicting action rpg

Mother brain is tough because everytime you die you have to refill your tanks before trying again.

Kacy!

Reggie!!!

Woah I’m just planning on collecting around like 150 of them. Have u even played them all? Or at least most of them

Bruce!!!!

+Radical Reggie Amazing video as always guys! Keep up the good work(-:

+Luke Clark I'm usually wacked out on allergy medicine and the high you get from cheap cologne. You?

+MetalJesusRocks hahaha! Thanks for the great content man. Getting stoned to your videos is the best!

Not sure if a typo that was supposed to be "meditate" and you were too lazy to change it. Or actually medicate.

The School of the Undefeated of the East! The Winds of the King! Zenshin! Keiretsu! Tenpa kyoran! LOOK the East is Burning Red!

You just got yourself a subscriber for that. If you don't have it already, there's Gundam Seed Battle Assault on the GBA which is a pretty fun 2D fighter.

+Prime92 yeah, I think it's a port of the Japanese super famicom game

Nope. Gundam Seed came out in the early 2000's. This has the Gundam's from that series. It's basically a simplified version of the two Gundam Battle Assault games on the Playstation.

nooo prime 92 sd gundam on on super famicom dipshit look it up lol

Yep, i'll be adding it in the next video

Ss1 was okay, but doesn't hold a candle to the section and one

+Gerald Schokker I use DOSBOX all the time actually

thanks, cool to know! metal jesus, have a great Christmass. #FromNetherland

The Ecletick Gamer You think you'd enjoy the luxury of even buying games if it was any other economical system? Please make me laugh and say communism...

Metal Jesus is American too...

Patreon awaits you, man. MJR isn't pushy about it, but it's a good way to support the creators. He's the only one I've supported so far, but it's worth it to me.

+John Gower what's up with patreon? Sorry, but I've never heard of it... what does it have to do with MJR?

+David Gamboa MJR has a channel there. it's a subscription-based site for content creators. you sign up to sponsor them with an ongoing payment that typically runs $1-$10 a month. I pay about $5 but I'm pretty conservative. I know that Jason recently made MJR his full time gig so Patreon+ advertising sharing from RU-vid is a good portion of his income. just a way for us to directly support creators we like. I sound like an ad, but I'm just one of those guys that picks the odd Patreon or Kickstarter to support those I like. (Also KS'd the MST3K revival so you know I have weird loyalties.)
