This is incredible. SO many games I never played or saw in action, many I never heard of, all in one video. I love that 007 clip at the beginning. Also that Advance Wars music still hits. I like the Advance Wars GBA sounds more than the Switch port. The GBA is my nostalgia bone when it comes to audio. I love the NES music too but we never had SNES growing up so I didn't get nostalgia for it as amazing of system is. GBA has that compressed sort of busted up SNES sound to it and that compression has become a quality I enjoy. Speaking of audio (and graphics for that matter, here's a great quote on how nostalgia happens by ambient pioneer and music legend Brian Eno. “Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided."
1:14:14 Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, 1:18:14 Lunar Legend, 1:20:44 Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, 1:21:04 Mario Kart: Super Circuit, 1:28:04 Metroid Fusion, and 1:44:33 Pokémon FireRed.
12:04 I found a copy of this game at a Currys in Keighley when I was younger. Considering how much I liked the show as well as Robot Wars, I ended up getting it. It was an ok game.
My personal favourite underappreciated gems: 0:15 although the 3rd mission is bad it's the best shooter besides other ones I timestamped too 4:39 ya can't go wrong with pool 6:27 Quad Desert Fury but with decent controls 9:16 If not for the password system it would have been above 007 nightfire 9:26 underrated banjo game 9:38 underrated banjo racer 12:25 not embarrassed to say I played it to the end enjoying every second of it, known as "Biene Maja" in Germany 26:45 very underrated crash bandicoot title 33:09 ok I do kinda feel embarrassed liking this one, but for a game where you mindlessly do missions without difficulty I think it can be very entertaining 35:54 hot take: best beat em up for the console, if it weren't for the password system again 37:24 Idk who that guy is and where I got that game from but I liked it 39:39 Nintendogs but by ubisoft, cute 40:49 GIVE DA 3D GAMES SUM LOVE WILL YA, ITS UNCOMPROMISED DOOM 44:44 Like GTA?

Fingers crossed you have the disc, or you re gonna use Swiss, which from what Ive heard is better as you can adjust a bunch of settings. That game player disc is waaaaaaaaay overpriced. I was mad I had to spend 39.99 on mine like 5-6 years ago. Its more than tripled from Ive seen.
Thank you for making this video. I was able to finally able to find a childhood favorite of mine that i remembered the gameplay clearly of but not the title, Lady Sia
Wow, you are insatiable. Why not make a catalogue of every book and magazine released in the US since 1955? Or a super intensive and descriptive process detailing how to split atoms in a nuclear reactor? Do the resesrch yourself. Nobody has time for all that.
@@needlamp2147 Mate, he just suggested it. The content creator is skilled at his trade and I'm sure it would be a good thing for the gaming community if he chose to make videos and any or all of those. Nobody is forcing him of course.
Did we every think this would be possible to see every game in a single video from games old af and older now?crazy how we can just glance through the catalogue basically lol 😂
@@BlueePluto Half of that is because developers are lazy and greedy and don't compress audio files or do other basic optimization stuff. The GBA library is mindblowingly good: the amount of human genius and care that went into many of these titles cannot be measured in gb.
28:54: I played this game and that was not the music that played during this particular level. This music was in fact used for the game's cutscenes and map screen. I find it odd how in this video the music is used in this level. EDIT: Watch videos of this game on RU-vid and you'll see what I'm talking about.
@@Thrak94 Seems like a lot of wasted money for a lot of uninspired shovelware. We all waste money on our passions and hobbies but at a certain point it begins to feel like desperate looney commercialism. Does that make sense?
I like the Nintendo Classics Series, especially back then when every company hadnt already pimped out all there old titles. But I wish they could of had a lil more on them, like the Zelda games and Metroid could of had the Famicom Disc System versions of those games on the cart as well. Another thing is I wish we could of got something like the Japanese Club Nintendo got with all the games in a special 3 part collection, check it out for what Im talking about with each collection coming in a big box that had all the sprites from the games it included on it. I think one is red, one is white and one is yellow. I remember seeing someone selling just those boxes with no games and it was like 300 bucks and that as like 2015-ish. EDIT: I guess it was sold as just the outer box, and never came with the games. It was just something you could get to put in the Famicom Classics Series GBA games as you bought them.
The Nintendo Classics were great and still are. Turns out, Donkey Kong is actually more difficult on the GBA than on other ported versions, like the Switch's Virtual Classics. In the first level, jumping from the second conveyor-elevator to the farther platform counts as a death on the GBA.
Warioware mega micro games and Warioware twisted are backwards 😂 Great video though!! Small mistakes are no surprise given what a massive project this was.
Final Fight One and Double Dragon Advance is 2 amazing beat em ups. DDA is the best version of Double Dragon, that Zeebo version does look like it may give it a run for its money though. Its crazy a game that looks that good, especially from a well known series, is doomed on that obscure console. Check out Top Hat Gaming Man's video on it, unbelievable that version was never ported anywhere else. There are some great fighting games on GBA as well - King Of Fighter EX 1 and 2, SF Alpha 3, Godzilla Domination
This is a fantastic list for a fantastic console! Per some group research, however, a few games stick out as ones that don’t belong. - Black Belt Challenge was never released in North America - Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action is also not an NA release - Sheep as well did not have an American release but was supposed to in 2002. It just never happened. - Payback is in the same boat Additionally, Kien was supposed to be released but was cancelled for all regions. I’m curious where this list was sourced from. Thanks again for archiving all of these games for the years to come!
seems like the list is also missing -amazing virtual sea monkeys -Paws & Claws Pet Vet still trying to find a 100% accurate spreadsheet with all the games since Gocollect destroyed the info that was on nintendoage.
Pude recordar casi todos los juegos que tuve de niño: Ms Pacman, Turok y Yugioh, pero el unico que no pude evitar recordar es uno de samurais chibis, pensaba que sería el Dinasty Warriors, pero ese tiene temática china, no japonesa
Its unfortunate all the licensed dribble buried a lot of great games on the GBA. There are some decent licensed games, dont get me wrong. Astro Boy Omega Boost is an great game. A few years ago its was pretty pricey for a cart only copy ($30 plus). Id hate to see how much it is now, with box and manual.
I have vague memories from around 2006 or 7, where I remember my friend showing me a game with realistic graphics I always assumed was on the gba. I think its a side scrolling beat em up with a hint of 3d, (moving up and down) but the best thing I can remember is that in the first stage, whenever you go to a new screen there are the tiny people I think carrying sacks and if you hit them they drop blue jewels and at the end there is a lady with a tiger and the second level in in a cave. I've been trying to remember and find it ever since then.
Cool graphics and just like Gameboy Color the games have their own gameplay it didn't happen with Gameboy noncolor. There should have been a Super Nintendo 2 with a Super Nintendo controller and these textures.
There is a GBA game similar like super mario bros. Where main charachter looks like pikachu ((from pokemon)) with white color. After completing all stage level you defeat the boss then you go to next stage level. And when he drinks a red drink in a glass like this🍸 he have bullet to kill enemies i think its bullet looks like jungle boy wood piece. Final boss you have to defeat 2 times then you will ends the game. I didnt found it here Do you know its nsme and can you help me to reach to that game. I want to play it after so long time.
