[@echave3527]

Man the Game Boy was my first console! A lot of good memories for sure!

[@TheLifeOfDan1]

This is indeed one of the GBA collection videos, among many others, that I used to educate myself about the GBA library, which consequently helped me to build (and continue to build) my collection. I started when I was 13 and now i’ve made my way to 80 games. Slow and steady progress, especially when trying to get the games in very good condition! Nevermind the bloody cost! Thanks again and I hope you’re well.

[@finngamer]

That sounds great! Glad to have been of help and an inspiration.

[@kringhetto]

Metroid Zero Mission is probably my favorite gba game. not my favorite series, but I always play it whenever I just need a filler game. great collection, thanks for the video.

[@finngamer]

I don't have as big of a collection of those as I do with the N64, but I'll surely do some hardware collecting videos in the future as well.

[@kingtrophyguide4362]

There's also Little Einsteins for Gameboy Advance!

[@Taffy872]

Great collection. I recommend getting Mario Kart, DK Country 1-3, Wario Land 4, Yoshi Topsy Turvy, Kirby Nightmare in Dream Land and the Amazing Mirror, Drill Dozer, and maybe Mario Party or Kingdom Hearts if you are interested next for this platform.

[@dave4shmups]

That's impressive! Especially considering that they're all boxed!

[@acidDrop2000]

youve been on the ball with these videos, good stuff

[@AlteredPiano]

I don't know about you, but to this day I would still rather play Game Boy stuff on the SP instead of one of the DS models. It's just so comfortable/portable. Great collection video, probably my favorite handheld as well!

[@finngamer]

Well, the backlit screen is superior to frontlit, but the SP is better in every other aspect.There was the one backlit SP model as well, so that would be the best option. :)

[@AlteredPiano]

The AGS-101 (I'm not sure I got the number right). I was interested in getting one but at the same time mine also still works fine. Maybe someday though, it would be a nice upgrade.

[@KarenM2012]

NatCat that number is right :)

[@JohnnyBear]

I have 7 games for gba

[@SvTedits]

Awesome as always thanks Finngamer for another great video

[@finngamer]

Yes. Ebay, or if you're located in Europe, I use an online store called retrogamefreak.

[@CReaper210]

I understand. It does have a lot of cool features though. Like button remapping, saving, HD upscaling. I'm personally going to get it, not for collecting, but just for the ease of use and hopefully making my gaming better.

[@Antnie]

Very nice collection. One of my favorite systems.

[@SingingSteel]

Really nice collection man, I have a similar one myself. Love gba!

[@TheLifeOfDan1]

Brilliant Collection!

[@royalnass1029]

really nice collection. im a big fan of the gba myself

[@finngamer]

For GBA, I think I got most of them brand new when they came out. :)

[@jankogo]

I totally agree with you about the DS Zeldas. The control is just not like it should be. A Link Between Worlds on the other hand is awesome...

[@9ElevenGamer]

Great video pal, this is what I consider the handheld SNES it is also my favorite portable.

[@FaSMaN]

There is a excelent mother 3 fan translation project thats fully playable if you have a gba flash card :)

[@Leonlavoe1973]

With so may versions of the gameboy and gameboy advance handhelds, would you ever do a video of those? like you do with your n64 consoles and controllers.Thank you and have a great day!

[@joycegentile8552]

Just realized your voice is similar to the actor in the Immortal...same accent! Very nice!

[@Lenny24t]

His voice is extremely scary hahah i just walked into my kitchen with lights off thought i was in a horror movie lol

[@brandonreina4219]

[@edieadampops]

your voice is so relaxing

[@finngamer]

To me the best part of a Zelda is the exploration and the game world, and the DS Zeldas just didn't have those in order.

[@CReaper210]

Finn, do you know what the Retron 5 is? It's a new retro console coming out with a bunch of cool features, plus it plays like 9 different types of games, like NES, SNES, Famicom, and Gameboy games.

[@Darro85]

I was the same way with Warioware Twisted in that I was waiting for it to come out here and it kept getting delayed and eventually just never got released. I never got around to playing it and it is the only one in the series I haven't played and people deem it to be the best one. Probably a bit on the pricey side for me to pick up now.

[@buttermilkjesus408]

yes simpsons road rage is epic

[@MrVengeance83]

Superb collection, displaying some of the best 2D video games ever. The GBA is easily a better system than the DS owing to the quality of its best games. Superb system :)

[@alectony2954]

I guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.

[@graysonruben6970]

@Alec Tony Instablaster ;)

[@alectony2954]

@Grayson Ruben i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@finngamer]

Never really played Pokemon, somehow missed it. But of course, a Game Boy Collection without Pokemon is not really complete, they are on my shopping list. Link to the Past 2 seems cool, even though the garphical style doesn't excite me that much. Just happy to get back into that game world.

[@PoweredByZimeMusic]

Just Mario and Pokemon games are missing.Also some of PAL art covers looks much better than the NTSC US.Amazing GBA Collection.

[@mikasaka]

Ah I see. Was just curious as I've only recently started collecting for the GBA and have around 40 games now, but well kept boxed copies are extremely hard to find so I've had to resort to collecting mostly loose cartridges with the odd one or two boxed games. :)

[@Manyula]

Wow, I had no idea there were still countries that made it mandatory. Is it just training etc or are you required to fight if asked?

[@habarvaz]

Same as it is here. Surprised me to hear that it's mandatory in such a peaceful region of the world, though :)

[@BananaXtreme16]

You're missing Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. Btw, didn't you like the way you interacted with the software in Phantom Hourglass? I thought it was genious, and surprisingly, one of the best Zeldas out

[@CReaper210]

I've played the Retron 3. There were some sound glitches, but other than that, it felt fine to me. But I don't know, I mean, I obviously haven't tried it with every game, I only have like 50 games combined for all the available game systems.

[@somasaysmeep8281]

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

[@somasaysmeep8281]

^__^

[@somasaysmeep8281]

:D

[@MrSpinaki]

I am surprised no Pokemon games. Also what do you think of the new legend ofZelda game for 3DS thats coming out at the end of the year?

[@TheMissSerena]

Mr.Spinaki tad outdated comment lol

[@GeistSKrank]

Nice Collection

[@perrytomczyk]

very nice collection

[@finngamer]

Yeah, all my games are CIB.

[@AlteredPiano]

I totally love GBA but 3DS is slowly becoming a favorite for me. Compatibility with the DS, one of the best eShop layouts, and so many good titles out right now. Still, it'll have to bust ass to beat the SP.

[@fameswebb6439]

This mans sitting on gold!

[@Lastseengaming]

Great stuff :)

[@badboscal]

Thanks

[@mc0nel]

You know nes,snes,gb,gba,and n64 boxes,I'm going to keep them just so I dont lose the games or so they dont get dirty

[@joshuasaulsbury1496]

I like ur voice cause it sounds like steven hawkins computrr

[@badboscal]

Do you have plastic covers on your gameboy boxes? If so were are they available?

[@arielrosenthal_]

I collect gameboy advance games and systems. :)

[@finngamer]

Yes, it's mandatory for men. Of course, many people lie about their condition or mental state, so it's easy to get off the hook. But I'm quite positive it does only good for you and prepares you for adult life.

[@geekygymaddict]

awesome

[@kingtrophyguide4362]

Do you have Little Einsteins for Gameboy Advance too?

[@finngamer]

Don't have that! Is it good or is it rare?

[@kingtrophyguide4362]

@@finngamer, that video game is good with 4.7 stars.

[@liamdvdreview6490]

I like Little Einsteins.

[@finngamer]

Kyllä, March of Minis taisi olla mielessä, eka ei ollut ihan sellainen. :)

[@mikasaka]

Where do you find such good condition games? Have you mostly used eBay for your purchases?

[@ghettoshampoo]

Retron is notorious for bad emulations, I can only imagine combining that many consoles together only means worse emulation. Incorrect sounds, graphical glitches, input delay, etc.

[@obeseninja93]

Didn't know you were in the military. Fun fact!

[@habarvaz]

Is military mandatory in Finnland? or did you volunteer?

[@MrAchievmentsftw]

You really need to get gradius galaxy's some of the best graphics and music on the gba really worth it

[@Stea17h]

You need to add Ninja Cop/Five-O to your collection.

[@Semikami]

Heti AW2:n myötä muistui mieleeni et jostain syystä menin myymään sen, loistava peli.

[@log1x07]

u miss a really great game Harvest Moon: Friends of a Mineral Town. played the shit out of the game :D best game still advance wars 2, hands down

[@napoleoncerna5705]

❤

[@KeithSmerbeck]

Not a fan of the Pokemon games on GBA?

[@marttipupu6875]

Löytyykö sinulta yhtäkään Brick Game 9999 in 1 konsolia?

[@finngamer]

Maybe it's a remnant of being located next to Russia, I don't know. :)

[@Runetone]

what is those plastic cases called and where did you get them ?

[@finngamer]

Runetone I got the game protectors from a Dutch web store called RetroGameFreak, but you can buy them from eBay among other places.

[@Runetone]

thanks i am from Denmark, so i think i can get them from the Netherlands :D

[@ofreeloveo]

i love GBA also!!!

[@davidthegummybear958]

How much for that King Kong

[@bland9876]

you don't have any lame games like monster bass fishing or pacman pinball also if you like pacman I suggest the pacman collection

[@Remeiko]

Where is Monster Rancher Advance?!?!?

[@bland9876]

the controls were the only thing going for it I have to agree with him when I say it sucks

[@TheUndertakerforlife]

Try out mega man and bass for gba great game

[@DominicSegura]

Where's the pokemon?

[@royalnass1029]

pokemon is boring and is for kids

[@DominicSegura]

royal nass Nah you're wrong. I know plenty of adults that play it. Maybe you think it's boring and is for kids, but your opinion isn't fact.

[@somasaysmeep8281]

I'm an adult and I play Pokemon :/

[@royalnass1029]

then your a lame cause pokemon is lame and boring

[@somasaysmeep8281]

I barely play Pokemon that much anymore. I love Castlevania.

[@AvreGary]

Yo, saat multa vähän täydennystä tähän settiin kun pääsen takas officelle ;)

[@zacharynew1327]

You are missing Final Fantasy IV Advance and Final Fantasy V Advance

[@jaadea]

Circle of the moon and aria of sorrow, PAL versions (low profile)

[@PrezzySK]

you collect CIB only?

[@finngamer]

Just training.

[@judgeexodia]

You sound like a bad bond villein.

[@finngamer]

!!!

[@dexteeeeeer]

Should of played Dr Mario in hospital

[@mramir1238]

Change the A in the desc with an i :)

[@jorgecontreras4022]

games rom game boy advance 🎮

[@l0chris]

I think I have more games than you do.

[@LMTR14]

8:45 I've played this f-zero and the controls were just BAD

[@finngamer]

Ehh, not interested. I only have original games on original consoles.

[@jaadea]

almost all are PAL versions :(

[@finngamer]

Of course, that's where I'm from.

[@jaadea]

@@finngamer NTSC versions are most expensives and desirables for collectors

[@finngamer]

Not really for collectors, but for gamers. Most collectors favor their own region. But it's not really a conscious decision, given how I just bought most of these when they came out.

[@jaadea]

@@finngamer but they are more expensive NTSC region (USA / Canada)

[@godmyall5419]

i not like it

[@jaadea]

DOOM = PAL version = trash
