Bro you have introduced me to so many great games

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks man, I hope to introduce you to many more 🙂

@@thatvideogamesshowYou always do a great job introducing more games in your videos, and I applaud you for that. 😊

[@thatvideogamesshow]

I appreciate that man 🙂

[@GlassMaster_Jae]

Shown me a lot of games to 🏴‍☠️

[@TheSubZero187]

Trust me we all talk about Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu’s Fury. Up until Kakarot it was an RPG system for DBZ that I wanted. I have yet to play Attack of The Saiyans but DBZ has so much RPG potential

[@Coyoda]

Road Trip is also part of the Choro Q series which essentially is an RPG racing game where stats and customization, and even silly/wacky stages are key with the gameplay. They've been localized under a lot of different names unfortunately. Road Trip, Gadget Racers, etc

[@tomonemo2992]

Shifting gears is a collectors nightmare. It is part of the choro-q series, but it is called differently every region. Choro-q advance 1 is Penny racers in PAL, Gadget racers in USA. Choro-q advance 2 is Gadget racers in PAL, Shifting gears in USA.

[@nomorenames5568]

You provide the deepest cuts I've ever seen with every single video. It's so refreshing to watch channel that actually knows what a hidden gem is. Thank you very much

[@thatvideogamesshow]

I appreciate that!

[@brux357]

You should make some of those “marathon” videos that lots of channels have been doing lately where it’s just a bunch of your videos mashed into one with a long runtime. That would be excellent

Guilty Gear X

[@theultimategamer95]

I had no idea Comix Zone was even on GBA, wtf.

[@EdgyVidyaGeneral]

I seriously had no idea there was a Guilty Gear game on GBA. Awesome

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Glad you found something new!

[@MageBeLike]

Man I watch your stuff everytime it comes up on my feed but for some reason KZbin wasn’t suggesting your content for weeks. I love these videos because I have no idea how else to find these sick old kind of obscure games

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Glad you find the videos helpful man 🙂

[@evilblader7]

Thanks again for another Gameboy advance video. Dk is a little slow but it's fun. You know another games nobody talks about are Densetsu no Stafy series, there are four of them and never left Japan, it's a pity because are really good and cute games.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Never heard of those! I'll have to check them out and include them in an episode =)

[@kevins8071]

Every time I see some footage of Comix Zone, I get a little PTSD. That game, for me, was brutal. Great list as always.

[@thejervis86]

Top notch channel here! You always show me at least one new game in each video. Cheers mate!

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Glad you like them and plenty more in the works :)

[@stevesteve0521]

Great list, I’m a massive gba fan so I played all these games but I’m happy they’re being acknowledged. I will say the comix zone gba port isn’t very good to be honest, it runs at a poorer frame rate than the genesis, the sound isn’t as good, the hit detection isn’t great.

[@LOCKEYJ]

The hit detection was always rough, but yeah I remember the sound on the port being particularly shocking

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Some intriguing picks that have now been added to my list of games to check out on the console! Glad you covered some region-exclusives here, as I completely forgot Comix Zone got a GBA port that never released in the US! Awesome video man!

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@Tasuke]

I LOVE DBZ Legacy of Goku 2!!! One of my favorites! Buu's Fury was fun too, but LoG 2 was a big game changer for the series. Even with Kakarot being a thing, part of me would love to see a new game or remake.

[@tomlion0116]

Great list. You should play Pinball of the Dead for the GBA. It's a funny Spin off ftom the House of the Sead series and is a great Pinball game on it's own.

[@reggiedunlop2222]

A great game!

[@reggiedunlop2222]

@@thatvideogamesshowTouché 👌🏼

[@ZeHamberglar]

You shouldn't play the Comix Zone GBA port unless you have no other choice. The genesis version is so much better.

[@HerreraAlonso]

It is superior, but is amazing that they ported it to the gba at the time it was like a handheld comix zone

[@thatguy00271]

DBZ Legacy of Goku 2 is a superb game

[@jazy921]

Here's an idea for a video: GBA games based on cartoon shows(from Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, etc.) excluding anime titles. i think i remember seeing some games like Jimmy Neutron and Fairly Oddparents that looked interesting back in the day...

[@SECONDQUEST]

Django is pronounce Jango, but like, Jahngo. Hard "jay" sound. At least iirc. I used ti say duh-jane-go basically lmao

[@brucefields7009]

I didn't know Comix Zone was on the GBA! Also, Boktai 3 looks amazing. Gotta try these out

[@Des_Zee]

Shifting Gears Road Trip is a very addictive racing game.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Totally agree, there's so much to work towards that it just never gets old.

So that donkey kong game is where Sony ripped off the monkey suit in astros playroom on ps5 😂

[@ryansokolosky2680]

I loved Comix Zone on Sega Genesis, I didn't know it got a GBA release. Doesn't look like it got a US release though...

[@PeruvianPotato]

Yep, it only got a 2002 European release

[@PikaLink91]

Wait... Legacy of Goku 2 is a game nobody talks about? Isn't it heralded as one of the best DBZ games?

[@johnnym2069]

You're thinking about Buu's Fury, the third game.

[@marukuanfuni]

L.O.G. 2 was mainly heralded for being thousands of power levels (DBZ pun there) times better than the first. I was very uncomfortable with the game play of first game, especially as a big Dragon Ball series fan (back then and more-so today), but while I wasn't terribly ecstatic about the experience of the Legacy of Goku II (especially cause I lost interest before finishing the campaign), I, like many others did back in the day and still do these days, admired it for its vast amount of game play improvements! Still though, soo many people have been posting You-Tube videos all over the place about the Legacy of Goku GBA game trilogy en-masse and singularly for at least the past decade! Definitely to dump on the crappy first one though comically!

[@johnnym2069]

@@marukuanfuni And the third game was pretty much perfect. (No pun intended) They couldn't have than a better job than they already did. The trilogy started off rough, but ended on a very high note. I got through the first game pretty easily and without any frustration because I figured out a way to kinda cheat my way through every enemy. What I did was use the Solar Flare, land a hit, walk away and repeat. The game was a breeze once I figured that out. It's tedious, but satisfying at the same time. A stinker like that deserves to be cheated.

[@PeruvianPotato]

Nah Buu's Fury is the more recognizable and well known one

[@ramblinjay3816]

Thanks for the video! I just picked up an Analogue Pocket and was trying to find some games.

[@trioncross]

If you like the GBA version of the nightmare for Christmas pumpkin King game, you should play the pS2 version of it as well. It plays very similar to like devil. May cry or other character action games and it's very good

It's a little late to comment, but do you consider drill dozer a good GBA game?

[@thatvideogamesshow]

100%!

[@rasmusnormannlarsen1972]

You did indeed butcher Pyuu in "Pyuu to Fuku". The main reason is that Y is a consonant in Romanized japanese, so Pyuu is pronounced closer to Pjuu as one syllable. The same problem exist when people pronounce Toukyou, which should be pronounced as Toh-kjoh with 2 syllables.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks for the correction!

I wish I could've had video games growing up. Now that I'm all grown up, the era of consoles is just long gone and dead. It's all PC and PC handhelds these days. I mean, they're much better in erry possible way and I can still play these games on them, but I'd rather just go back to when these games were new and errybody was playing them

[@whydoyoukeeptalking]

Legacy of Goku II was a huge jump from the first and one of the best RPGs on gba. As for guilty Gear X advance...not so good. I sold it twice. Very small character sprites and poor sound quality. Its a solid 6/10 very forgettable especially compared to other fighters on the system.

[@marukuanfuni]

LOL, I purchased Guilty Gear X Advance used twice and, similarly to you, sold it twice. For me though, I do agree the music was VERY subpar, considering its a damn Guilty "Rock-'N-Roll" Gear game, the difficulty (even on the hardest setting, which is rare for me) was TOO simple, and there was not very much content beyond maybe one or more extra unlockable characters (i think) and just training and arcade. I was sorely disappointed the first time, but purchased it for like 3 bucks the second time, cart only, and sold it as bulk with a bunch of other games years later!

comix zone was so shitty, it was released in Europe on 9/11
