Hello I need help finding a GBA game I use to play when I was kid. It is a tactic game like Onimusha. However I remember the cartridge was red but apparently there aren't that many red GBA games. Anyway it was about this one dude who fights monsters instead of humans, it was like a dark fantasy game. Any idea?

As far as I know, the following games from this recommendations list are available on those eshops (in some regions), so if people wanted to pick them up digitally before those shops disappear, then this would be a good chance to get them: Sonic Advance 2 Kururin Paradise F-Zero Maximum Velocity Golden Sun 1 & 2 Metroid Fusion & Zero Mission Megaman Battle Network 3 (and the others) Castlevania Aria of Sorrow (and Harmony of Dissonance) Advance Wars 2 If any of the others are also available, forgive my ignorance. Keep up the good work! The GBA is a fantastic portable console with such a great library, and playable in so many ways - the original DS, the Gamecube GB Player, The Wii U VC, and now Switch Online. It’s a truly wonderful chapter of gaming history that more people should enjoy, and you do a great job of sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge to help make that possible. It’s much appreciated!

I think you nailed it with this review. Doom should have been on there somewhere just because it was such an incredible port, but yeah...I threw my hands in the air in joy when you announced Advance Wars as #1. Couldn't agree more. I remember seeing reviews for it in magazines and it was the reason I bought the GBA shortly after its release. I was really into Command & Conquer back in those days and I thought it was going to be a similar experience on the go, but it was completely different and ultimately even better than what I expected. It was so addictive and rewarding. Also props for including Crash on here. That was another one of my favorites and it doesn't get talked about much. There were a few released for it, but I think the one you reviewed is the one I had. I was really blown away by the graphics and music it had. It really felt like a PS1 experience in your hand. You're a great reviewer, dude. And solid collection! Subscribed.

Battle Network 3 is my #1 GBA title. The gameplay was so much fun, the bosses ranged from decently challenging to absolute ball-breakers, and it was always a cheer-worthy moment when you beat them. And the story! Holy hell, the story! I actually got a bit teary-eyed at several points throughout, which for me is a pretty rare feat for a game to accomplish. I was so moved by the story of BN3 that when I borrowed BN4 from a friend, I was SO disappointed. The writers just hit the reset button and it was like nothing from the previous game ever happened! Because of that I never actually bought my own copy of BN4 back in the day, it took YEARS for me to check out BN5, and I missed out on BN6 entirely. Definitely going to be picking up the collection to see what I missed! Runner up was Sonic Advance 1, and picking Sonic Advance 1 as opposed to the rest of the trilogy comes down mostly to the soundtrack. Those were some snappy tunes, and while Sonic Advance 2 matched its predecessor in terms of gameplay, the music of 2 and 3 just weren't quite there for me. And SA3, I found the tag-team gameplay neat, but only in small doses. I am VERY excited to play the Metroid and Golden Sun games on NSO. I only rented Golden Sun the Lost Age back in the day, but was wowed by the visuals and the bit of the story that I did get to experience. And I missed out on the Metroid games entirely. I'm not sure why it took me until Dread to actually get into the series, as I definitely found the GBA games appealing, I just never picked up and played them myself.

Awesome awesome list. The only thing I feel was missing was Final Fantasy Advanced Tactics. But the GBA had SO MANY bangers that some ppls favs and greatest hits are bound to be left out. Also, would love to see videos on history of Nintendos greatest games

I REALLY need to get FF Tactics! Seen that one more than any other game in these comments! :O

Late comment but not including Zelda, Pokemon, or Mario made this list SO MUCH more interesting. I'll have to dig through your other videos and hope for the same! Great decision.

Advance Wars 2 is one of the best turn based strategy games period, there's also a romhack made by fans with balances and reworks in habilities and its own custom campaign called advance wars returns

My favorite GBA titles include Golden Sun duology as well as the Metroid games. I also do love Summon Night Sword Craft Story games which was my first GBA game when it came out. I would buy a GBA just to play these games again honestly.

Absolutely love all the F-Zero games… though SNES will always be tops for me. I feel like it has a bit tighter controls than GBA versions, though they’re all still great.

This is so funny. I just picked up two of these from a local retro shop. Warioware Twisted £35, Gunstar Future Heroes £20 and Tales of Phantasia for £20. I thought those prices were very reasonable! Cart only but genuine and they were all pristine!
