I remember delivering 500 phone books when I was a kid to get 20$ and I bought DBZ Taiketsu, and that was when I realized what buyers remorse was.

@lucylu3342 Год назад

Jesus Christ, that's like the most painful version of buyer's remorse lol

When you put the MK advance cartridge in the RetroN5, you've got the message: "Are you sure you want to play this game?" That was actually the best things about both MK advance and the RetroN5.

@matthewbraith0411 Год назад

That Medal of Honor game might just be the worst looking GBA game I have ever seen and I thought Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon looked bad.

@thatvideogamesshow Год назад

It’s is so bad man… literally got a head ache recording it 😅

@jimmyredd Год назад

I can't believe that game is from 2002. It looks (and plays) significantly worse than the old DOS Wolfenstein games from '92! Next time someone tells you video games aren't art, show them this impressionist painting of a shooter.

@Lilbeanspork Год назад

even as a kid i never bothered getting passed the first level. its so ugly its hard to look at

@noisepollution4473 Год назад

That Sonic port was so zoomed in it started to make me motion sick I've never felt motion sick from a 2D game before Maybe being super zoomed in on a game about going fast is a bad idea, especially if it's constantly speeding up and slowing down haphazardly

@boogaloobender3462 6 месяцев назад

The Advance games were so much easier on the eyes, despite having the same problem (albeit to a lesser degree)

@AlexTenThousand Год назад

Knowing the backstory to Dragon Ball Z Taiketsu, I'm honestly willing to cut the developers some slack. Webfoot Technologies had been assigned the game basically out of nowhere, after Atari, the licenseholder for Dragon Ball games in North America, noticed just how much money the Japanese-developed fighting games were making, all of this while they were busy developing The Legacy of Goku 2. Webfoot Technologies was a very small development team without many resources, and to develop The Legacy of Goku 2 and improve the gameplay significantly, they had to hire additional workforce, which had to be split once again to deliver the game Atari had commissioned them, using what resources they had and working in an incredible rush, with rendered sprites made from a cancelled PS2 game.

13:17 - alternatively the first two Genesis Sonic games on the 3DS that were given a neat 3D effect, at least while the 3DS shop is still open... and Sonic Classics Collection on the DS, which was one of the last rereleases we had of Sonic 3 & Knuckles before Sonic Origins with its music changes, as long as you don't mind some screen crunch and the pause button being on the touch screen

It's a shame R-Type has such a terrible hit detection, because the graphics are amazing. I understand that being a deal breaker in a shmup, because it's life or death, and part of the reason people like that type of game including myself

@OZdoesArt Год назад

The Game Cube version of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy is one of my absolute favorite games, and I remember being excited to learn it also got a GBA port. Glad I never was excited enough to buy it because nothing I've heard about it has been good. The Game Cube game is a fast-paced, badass slaughterfest with an AWESOME soundtrack, well worth playing. The GBA slows that all down and simplifies the level designs, and I guess has issues where only a small number of enemies can spawn on the screen at once.

@jamesfrankiewicz5768 Год назад

The GC version is outstanding. I had multiple parties having buddies over for some four player action on that one. The N64 Gauntlet Legends is pretty good, too; Dark Legacy (GC) actually clones a lot of stuff from the N64 games, but both the graphics and controls are better on GC and there is more content to boot. Although the "everyone bring your own memory card/character" was a pretty cool feature on the N64 that is mostly lost on GC (with only two card slots). The GBA version doesn't even look fun. Part of the fun on the N64 or GC is the pure frenetic action of wading through massive hordes of nearly endless enemies.

@FabBrigade Год назад

I have the Xbox version myself. Still pretty great, I think.

@acolytetojippity Год назад

I remember the Gauntlet Dark Legacy version from the *dreamcast*. That's the one me and my friends played the hell out of back in the day. But yeah the GBA version was ass. THOUGH...in fairness it is actually a relatively faithful adaptation. missing some features, but it does have the core gameplay loop. Turns out when the enemy quantity and speed of the game is brought down it loses its charm haha.

I had no idea that the GBA had these shockingly bad games for it, only one I did know about was MK3 because my cousin has it when we were early teens back in the early 2000s, thank you for showing us these shockingly bad GBA games TVGS you did a real nice job 👍

Wow, there are some really bad games here. Mortal Kombat Advance is by far the worst GBA game I ever played. I remember getting it for Christmas when it came out, and was stoked to play it! Then I played it…and oh boy, was it utter garbage (and that’s putting it nicely lol). Another excellent video man!

I remember that I used to go with my mom and Aunt from Mexico to the U.S where they worked and then to my Dad's house and the trip was literally me in my GBA playing games non-stop, and me getting new games (even bad ones) was like a dream. I really appreciate most games, if not all of the ones I had, even when they were horrible. I even disliked a few but learned to love them haha

@tb3411 Год назад

I ended up buying Sonic Genesis not realizing how much of a watered down port it was. The mostly butchered soundtrack, the bizarre zoomed in screen, and the crazy lag definitely showed how butchered this port was. On the bright side, it has a level select so you don't have to go through the whole game in one sitting

@doha057 Год назад

@@tb3411 My first game for GBA was Scorpion King, which isn't the best game or anything but it was a beautiful game to look at, I was in awe just to think about that kind of graphics was even possible in a handheld at that time, I also had the idea that fast games like Sonic would never work in GBA because of the tiny screen, but the Sonic Advance series proved me wrong, sadly the Genesis port was a lousy job no doubt.

@kill_repeat8491 Год назад

It would be cool if you offered alternatives to the bad games in this style of video. For instance, Legacy of Goku 2 or Medal of Honor Infiltrator

@thatvideogamesshow Год назад

That’s a good suggestion. I’ll work it in for the next episode in the terrible games series. Thanks for the tip!

You should cover the first legacy of goku game if you haven’t already. Subbed because cool videos

@lpfan4491 Год назад

That Shrek racing game looks like Mario kart, except worse. 12:00 This is the definition of a meme-game. I actually played it as a joke and had fun, somewhat at least, but only because it is so not-good and an uphill battle. The most ironic thing is that the worst parts of this are the labyrinth zone-boss and the special stages, both of which aren't really that much better in any other version of Sonic 1.

@Theguyunderyourbed22 Год назад

The sad part is that I'd played a lot of these back in the day, thankfully not mine though. You know kids would get together with a little pouch full of cartridges and trade games around for a while. All those poor kids, armed only with whatever brand or title they could remember having seen from others, older cousins, friends and the like, maybe swayed by posters and ads on magazines, maybe even just going by the cover art on the box, having money only for one game and choosing one of those hoping they made the right choice.

Watching footage of these games does not represent how bad they looked on a screen, with no backlight, smaller than my fist. On batteries.

@yamigekusu Год назад

1:53 I still have my copy of Shrek Swamp Kart Speedway. I bought it from a Sam's Club in 2003 and played the hell out of it even though I knew it was absolute garbage. The sound design was atrocious, the powerups were confusing and not explained well. Shit, I have the INTACT box it came in sitting on my desk right now

@bluetarantulaproductions6179 Год назад

I would add "The Ripping Friends: The world's most manliest men!" on this list, loved the adult cartoon by John K. (Same dude who created Ren and Stimpy), but this game has to be the worst beat 'em up I have ever played on Game Boy Advance (or any system ever).

@SeekerLancer Год назад

R-Type III could have been great on GBA but they weren't allowed access to the original source code so they had to do it from scratch and of course, that didn't end well.

@sloppynyuszi Год назад

That’s probably better though, as straight ports don’t work, due to the GBA architecture and screen resolution. The GBA has a lot more horse power than the snes, and had original games the SNES couldn’t dream of doing, but snes conversions many times came off worse as things had to be designed to work in that low resolution and also no backlight. Why Donkey Kong Country looks crap in an emulator. Rare had to redo the game from scratch, because how different it was. The initial process wasn’t the fault, it’s just everything afterwards. Probably Super street fighter 2 is the better example of how GBA ports should be done. The UI had an overhaul. Create new beackgrounds, and keep the snes sprites because they look huge in that low res screen.

@theultimategamer95 Год назад

I didn't even know Shrek had a kart racer, WHAT? Game looks decent though imo (unironically), but turning/drifting looks like an absolute nightmare. Didn't even know Medal of Honor Underground existed (looks awful though tbf), I assumed it was just Infiltrator for GBA (which was the one I grew up on). 5:45 20 HITS!? Tf devs? 11:53 I was actually gonna riot if this one wasn't on here lol. Easily one of the worst games I've ever played. Nice choice of music you used for this section though! :)

@thatvideogamesshow Год назад

Haha it’s worth playing that Shrek game, for the shits and giggles alone 😅

@Detective_L Год назад

Most of the games on this list actually look nice from a graphics point of view. The entire time I kept thinking it has so much potential to be good if they just fixed the bugs or had a bigger budget, more time or if the GBA had more buttons. The background for Gauntlet for example looks awesome (from a gba perspective) and I just saw a video that explored a little behind the scenes on that DBZ game. They had to make the game extremely quick due to cooperate pressure and I’m pretty sure they were making Legacy of Goku 2 at the same time.

Yeeeaaah, MK1 & MK3 on the GB and MK4 on the GBC are probably equally as bad as MKA on GBA. MKII, however, was amazing for the limitations of the GB. But what are your thoughts on the GBA port of MK: Deadly Alliance, chopped up into MK:DA & MK: Tournament Edition, or Tekken Advance?

@eightcoins4401 Год назад

@ophidianmind333 Год назад
