Nintendo GBA Games - Hidden Gems 3

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Do you want to see a GBA video dedicated to all the 3D games on it? Which games should be included?

[@MiloKuroshiro]

Driv3r and Asterix are must have

[@ASMRGamingNews]

007 Game that is in 3D for sure!

[@nonlegend]

The Irridian games have some impressive 3d visuals.

[@lupianwolf]

Super Monkey Ball jr Simpsons: Road Rage

[@AlessandroCussino]

007 NIGHTFIRE STREET RACING SYNDICATE The two 3d games most tecnically impressive EVER created for the gba. (ve lo chiedo per favore) = I ask you, please ... PLEASE "an Italian admirer" There are also = smashing drive, asterix e obelix xxl, driv3er, payback, ssx3, duke nukem advance, top gear rally, crazy taxy catch a ride, v rally 3, stuntman, kill switch, eks vs sever, need for speed "series".

[@puertoriconnect4611]

These two have awesome chemistry. I’d listen to a podcast of them just talking about games.

[@xCorzo650x]

same

[@willstinson5348]

Just bought Pinobee cartridge, delivered for less than £3. Who says these videos drive the prices of hidden gems up! Great video guys, appreciate you letting us know about these games

[@Nintendrew]

I'm getting a funny feeling that Reggie might like RPGs... Just a hunch! ;)

[@jovanijaimes6340]

Is that Nintendrew woahhhhh (wtf am I saying) 😂

[@thekraken8694]

Maybe😂

[@totallyfrozen]

And shoot ‘em ups

[@the-engneer]

Reggie has good taste! So do you Drew.. Love your channel

[@kringhetto]

GBA is my all time favorite handheld. The micro specifically. I've been waiting for part 3!! Thanks for the vid guys. Great choices once again.

[@franciscomoreno7388]

The micro is so great I love mine

[@P0V3RTY09]

I can remember seeing Reggie's first appearance on your channel. He was very nervous and very quiet. It is cool to see how much he has gotten more comfortable on camera and has opened up to your subscribers through your videos. Thanks for posting Jason. You truly ROCK!

[@The_RadicalOne]

P0V3RTY09 wasn't really nervous, just wasn't sure how to present myself.

[@AlexMilbauer]

I love Reggie! He's so cool. He's a pleasure to have in your video's. You two work so well together. Keep up the good work guys. Love the gba hidden gems.

[@jonathan8087]

It's amazing that you guys were able to remind everyone (especially to myself) how awesome GBA games are even at this generation.

[@dainobu10]

Man I never expected to see Zone of the Enders, I loved that game back when I was like 11. The strategy, the reticle battles, Parsty, etc Thanks for the nostalgia guys!

[@MikeRoss360]

I love reggie. Easily the best special guest MJR has on the show

[@PolykillPodcast]

I love how excited Reggie gets about these games!

[@DiggOlive]

I'm truly amazed that I haven't heard of most of these games; being of the GBA generation and enjoying anime-style and RPG games. Looking forward to playing them! Awesome video

[@argylega]

Reggie mentioned the snow fight in FF Tactics - pretty sure he's talking about FF Tactics Advanced, and MJR was probably talking about the original PSOne game.

[@The_RadicalOne]

Greg Alexander oh I just noticed that. But I'm sure most will figure it out

[@Teknoman]

lol play past that, was just a tutorial of sorts for people new to SRPG.

[@MrShooter16]

Greg Alexander There is also Final Fantasy Tactics for DS, I played it a bunch of years back.

[@datfatsesh245]

pretty sure they both were talking about the GBA one lol

[@datfatsesh245]

the DS one is actually Final Fantasy Tactics A2 isn't it?

[@MrSujano]

Great vid! I just want to give a shout out to you and your awesome guests. You do a great job in choosing the right people to bring a lot of fun and information to your channel. Keep up the good work MJ!

[@cristobalhansu]

Riviera was amazing! The gameplay is quite unique and the characters are great. The graphics are beautiful too, especially considering it's a GBA game.

[@alucart1984]

Awesome video! I met you at RetroPalooza in Texas on Saturday. You are definitely a hidden gem within the KZbin community like I mentioned to you in person. But just like the hidden gems in this video everyone is going to want to watch your videos once they any of them. Radical Reggie is awesome as well. Hopefully I get to meet him someday as well.

[@JamesStevensonPhoto]

Thanks for putting these videos together and sharing your insights! I'm in the middle of restoring a GBA and excited to discover many of these treasures!

[@KacyDaGameNerd]

Someone likes Atlus games! Nice selection.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

KACY!!!!

[@MCRfan-oi7km]

Hi metal Jesus

[@cyrusjames4625]

I need to watch more of your vids

[@SerjStar]

I love videos with Reggie he's a chill dude

[@tanglelover]

Hey metal, you'll never believe what I picked up in a charity shop.A fully working gba sp for 4 euro, no charger or games but had been taken care of great. I flipped the switch and it turned on! I'm getting a charger and chu chu rocket soon!

[@Blernster]

So you scammed a charity. Well done man

[@the-engneer]

@@Blernster Technically they donated to a charity, but nice way of trying to flip that around like an asshole

[@The_RadicalOne]

First Radical comment!!

[@malcolmboyd3467]

lol

[@joseph_b319]

Radical Reggie DOUT!!

[@joseph_b319]

Radical Reggie No fair

[@NinjaxShadowXx]

Cheater!

[@DergonQuert]

Play Tactics Ogre on the PSP! Amazing game, best turn based tactics rpg ever!

[@ClassicContagious]

Awesome GBA RPG love from you guys. Definitely my proverbial "one system on a deserted island" question. Love the GBA so much.

[@JohnnyCProduction]

I love Reggie, seems like a super chill guy to just hang out with.

[@apolyester22]

I love these hidden gems videos especially with Reggie! I'm always super excited what Reggie has to say or bring to these videos! I would be super interested in racing games on the GameBoy Advance.

[@rmgb-tv]

RIVIERA!!! One of my faves. Reggie is a legend. :D

[@The_RadicalOne]

RMGB TV dude! Did you see the move I pulled off on that boss? I was so pumped

[@r100curtaincall]

RMGB TV yeah. A definitely unheard of RPG, but I love that whole series. I have the prototype of the Riviera cart. Nice to see it pop up in this list

[@personavisceration371]

I have the PSP version and it seems pretty slow and a bit kiddie. Does it ever pick up?

[@UltimateGamerCC]

sadly the PSP version is not the better sounding version, and it's a good game, you should push yourself to go through it, i dont think it'll disappoint.

[@r100curtaincall]

agreed. the WSC version is the original, and has different art, but the GBA version is the best overall. the PSP on has some additional features, but the music has mostly gone to guitar and doesn't sound quite the same. it feels like a step backward, as opposed to Yggdra union where the PSP version is vastly superior to the GBA version. I have all 3 versions and its an unusual, but very good RPG, and takes several playthroughs to find everything.

[@Supermanohman]

I don't have a GBA nor am I going to get one. But I had one as a kid and I just love hearing you guys talk about them. I love hearing you guys talk about any old games even if I'm never going to buy them.

[@peteskete4783]

Reggies head is looking nice and shiny with the new lighting

[@thatminimalistguy1755]

hey mike that fat guy at 6:32 looks like you in real life LOL!

[@cankook]

Genre-specific hidden gem vids would be cool. Thanks for doing these, I'm a big fan of the gba and its great to learn about games that I missed out on growing up!

[@DarienMusicJunkie]

Reggie is such a fucking cool guy. Man, you can see his love and excitement for videogames.

[@qqq1701]

I played Shining Soul 2 when it came out. I remember it being great! I picked up a GBA SP recently and am loving it. More videos like this please.

[@STANI420]

Just recently found out about it, love it.

[@eqa1997]

There were tons of remakes for classic game series on the GBA, if you guys could possibly do a video on that and how they stack up to the originals I think a lot of people would like that.

[@shawnrotolo-griffis7181]

I honestly love your GBA videos with Reggie and it's definitely turned me on to more games on one of my favorite consoles. Surprisingly, I'm surprised neither of you have had the Boktai games on any of these videos. Produced by Konami and Hideo Kojima, it had two games on the GBA, Boktai 1 and 2, which had a light sensor, which altered the gameplay. At night, if you ran out of ammo (your gun used the power of the sun to fire), you had to evade enemies and wait the next real life day to resupply. They were very good action RPGs. It also had a DS spinoff that was fantastic called Lunar Knights. I think Reggie in particular would love it. Also, Zoids Legacy is very cool, and one of the very few Zoids games that have been localized.

[@seedranka]

Thanks Reggie for pointing out Shining Soul II !! Been getting into SF1 speedruns lately and this will definitely be great for down time and some extra lore.

[@Gamingnerd15]

Lunar Legend is the first game I got for my Gameboy SP and it's one of my favorite RPGs. Love seeing the love for it!

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

loving your channel and I think I have the old console bug! all the games I loved from when I was younger are still brilliant!. seriously thanks guys and gals I love watching you talking and introducing me to some titles I overlooked. much love from the uk

[@0melleteDuFromage]

Nostalgia trip! What a coincidence. I played through every single one of these many years ago except that Bee and Arcade game. Definitely fun, hidden gems. Especially Yggdra Union and Shining Soul 2

[@maxque2841]

I sometimes get the feeling that Reggie has only played most of these games for about 5 minutes -- enough time to get gameplay footage xD

[@adammac3649]

hey metal jesus I just wanted to say thanks for all the great videos. I have seen every video and it got me back into playing and collecting games. I always tell people watch metal jesus rocks. My son is a big gamer and I showed him you video about the nes hotline book and he loved it and was blown away thank you for the videos

[@trevorharrison229]

amazing video guys. these hidden gems videos are my favorite I look forward to your videos all through the week.

[@skaardrax1207]

Congratulations on 300K man!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Thanks!

[@donngaming8353]

Will always be a fan of your apex quality videos man. Keep on rocking

[@David-bb5ho]

Reggie's the man. You can tell he has so much love for the games he shares.

[@GinHindew110]

Yggdra Union was so awesome, the tactical elements were ale entangled and made for a very deep gameplay, also the card level up system made for a very customizable playstyle Riviera was also nice with the story and those two games are in the same world but in different times

[@ryantaylor8679]

I love these guys enthusiasm.

[@raeglinlegrand3502]

Thanks for mentionning Tactics Ogre Knight of Lodis that game deserve way more love

[@jidar]

Yggdra is a shorter Yggdrasil where the y is a hard E sound, otherwise it's how it looks. Pronounce it EEg-druh

[@The_RadicalOne]

hmmm

[@Teknoman]

I wanna say they pronounce it in one of the Tales series games? Symphonia maybe?

[@2048Dan]

I agree. Similar to how you pronounce the Ys games.

[@jacefiore6203]

Vita Succubus and the mana games.

[@tatecheddar]

^This. I can't remember what game it was either, but I played it and they spoke the word. It wasn't quite like you say, but Merriam Webster has the pronunciation as "ig-drə-ˌsil", which is what I remember from that game.

[@thekeegan985]

the gba hidden gem videos with reggie are the best i always end up buying some of these for my collection

[@anthonyzellner440]

I love lunar legends great game!!! I'm glad you like it also Reggie.

[@haveringpish]

Very professionally presented, you're on fire recently guys!

[@FairThatsMe]

Radical Reggie and Metal Jesus, always love new content from you guys!

[@broceollomon]

Finally mentioned Riviera. It was overlooked, but it's not to be missed. And you mentioned Yggdra Union which is the second part to the series!

[@ShonenGamerUniverse]

I Enjoy these Hidden Gem Videos, you guys show me games at a time that i was to young to find games myself so its nice to find out about these games i missed out on, keep it up Reggie and Metal Jesus. you guys show me games i need to play and add to my collection lol!!!

[@MrSerpico145]

Thanks, Reggie, for the heads up on Pinobee PS1 and Yggdra Union. I just bought both em based on your recommendations.

[@The_RadicalOne]

MrSerpico145 already!? Your fast

[@MrSerpico145]

Radical Reggie Couldn't resist. I went to eBay straight away and saw they were indeed at great prices, lol. I jumped on em.

[@treynobles]

I've recently found my old collection of GB/GBC/GBA games in my shed, and I love these videos but I need to stop watching them because I've been spending so much money on all of these games that I've been missing on. Haha! As well as, MasterSystem/NES/Genesis/SNES/N64/GameCube/GameGear/NEOGEO pocket and more. So thank you for helping me find these amazing gems, and getting me back into classic gaming, but I'm becoming poor. Haha! Keep up the awesome work!

[@Trigun7th]

After seeing this video. Now I know what games to play and what I've missed back then. Thanks for this video, awesome!

[@R0XX0]

you guys are awesome. I'm a new fan. never stop the cool gba videos. my suggestion would be do a video on Japanese gba exclusives and repros. I'm a big fan of games like the Mother series and Fire Emblem.

[@fuzmeister]

Love these hidden gems videos! I was excited to see a new one was up!

[@nonlegend]

Im gonna keep recommending Starwars Episode III on the GBA. An excellent beat 'em up that I never hear anyone talking about.

[@michaelgeorgiou4730]

As always amazing video man. Greetings from Cyprus. I always wondered if you were going to make a video about your favorite comics/manga. I and I believe other people would like to see you playing classic games with commentary along with John maybe? I look forward to your newer videos.

[@bjenksful]

Yooo! That Zone of the Enders just unlocked a childhood memory. Good stuff.

[@RussellFlowers]

I really appreciated these GBA hidden gems videos. Lately I've been picking up some games for the GB, Color, & GBA, and it seems like so many GBA games I find are movie license "trash" games. Thanks much.

[@zombl337og]

The GBA was the BEST handheld of all time.....life cycle lasted FOREVER, it played all Gameboy games from GB to GBC to GBA, and the GBA SP was small but comfy and had a built in light! As a kid I remember deciding if Playstation 2 or GBA was my favorite platform lmao

[@sonicsega1699]

best part about the gba is that a "hidden gems" list can go on and on. most people had a gba, but were sucked into the pkemon/mario/zelda/metroid trend, so for alot of us, practically any game is a hidden gem. now that i'm 25, i actually hate only owning first party nintendo games cus there is just so much more to love on their consoles that they don't want anyone to know about

[@danielgray2909]

I have acquired a GBA emulator with over 2000 offerings and these have become my go-to videos for navigating some of the best games. I love the save feature because it allows me to get through some of these games quickly and make up for a lot of lost gaming opportunities I missed out on.... Thanks guys! 🔥

[@jbmorgan57]

Love MJ and Radical Reggie! Well done mates.

[@EojRepus]

i love these videos because, because i've learned that me and reggie have very similar taste in video games and now i can add stuff to my list of things to pick up

[@PolecatReturns]

So good to see some love for Shining Soul 2. I put at least over 100+ hours into the game.

[@p4573qu3]

Thanks for talking about Riviera. One of my favourite game on the gba.

[@rodrigopimentel9380]

GT Advance, Sega Rally, Top Gear, Mario Kart and many others... Game Boy Advance has a lot of racing games, and they are good! Waiting for this video! It will be pure fun!

[@RedWings1923]

Totally agree with Reggie, Lunar on GBA I still own and love being able to play it on a portable system

[@georgemeyer8521]

You guys are GREAT ! ! ! .... Reggie, you make me want to buy the games, you put so much heart into it ! ... Thanks for the great vids !

[@lupianwolf]

More GBA Hidden gems you could cover: - Turok: Evolution - Juka and the Monophonic Menace - Medal of Honor: Infiltrator - Rayman 3 - Star X

[@GEhotpants101]

Tactics Ogre is really fun. Glad you guys mentioned it.

[@C-Murph]

Luv these retro episodes. Bring back Kelsey to do some more.

[@ADMS11984]

Yeah bring back Kelsey and her stand box

[@ip3onmyspace158]

+thecouchtripper would definitely consider him a retro-gamer.

[@casperpurp]

omg tactics ogre was one of my favorite games growing up i think i used game shark to create the most OP character ever lol definitely a good hidden gem I'm reliving my youth watching you nice vid. I also remember getting them gba games in my stocking at Christmas id feel the big cardboard box and get so excited waking up at like 1 am Christmas day playing gba hardcore man good times

[@HeidLander]

RR & MJ videos always rock...love your chemistry and enthusiasm

[@PabloEnver]

I tried Riviera on GBA and I couldn't finish it. I found really terrible, in all aspects.

[@geraldgreen6359]

You have such awesome friends ! Reggie seems like such a nice guy :) keep up the work/content dudes

[@internettrash5120]

• The Incredibles • Finding Nemo: The Continuing Adventures • Shrek: Hassle At The Castle • Namco Museum 50th Anniversary • Famicom Mini: Super Mario Bros. 2 (The Lost Levels) • Famicom Mini: 1983 Mario Bros. These are just some of my favorite hidden gems

[@legatomodi3522]

Riviera is really something else. Such a strange way to level up though (that I'm not sure is better than worse than typical grinding with random battles). Between real battles you gotta select "practice" mode and train with each weapon and use it like 2 to 8 times to learn the overdrive move with it and every time you master a weapon you get a stat boost. Since your weapons have a limited number of uses and the only time you're not depleting that is with practice mode. Real battles during the storyline give you TP based on how well you fought. You're graded on time, damage taken, and the finish. The finish is what you really wanna nail and thats what you try to save your overdrive skills for. Some overdrives are so powerful they break the overdrive meter (like in the video, top left of the screen you can see it break) then no other character can use overdrive moves in that battle. The TP I mentioned earlier is used on examining something in your surroundings (like there might be a chest, or a rock, or a spring, or a mushroom etc etc) or for searching for alternate routes.

[@nickolasecker9596]

I would definetely reccomend Final Fantasy Tactics if you enjoyed Tactics Ogre, the director of Tactics Ogre had actually worked on the Final Fantasy Tactics series so there are lots of similarities between the two, especially the art style and both use isometric grid style gameplay.

[@raeglinlegrand3502]

FFT Advance isn't an hidden gem it's a cult classic of the GBA dude

[@RadioactiveMoth]

Pretty sure they just meant it as a "if you like this, you may like this" type of recommendation, and weren't trying to point out an obscure game.

[@nickolasecker9596]

Exactly, I am well aware of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance status amongst gba fans and consider it to be in the top five of the systems library. Not at all a hidden gem, just pointing it out for fans of strategy RPG's.

[@coorhagon7236]

if your gonna play final fantasy tactics, play it on the ps1. way better and no snowball fights

[@RadioactiveMoth]

Coorhagon Or the PSP version. Though I do like snowball fights.

[@wolveric0]

only this channel can show me gba games that i dont know wow, thank you Metal Jesus and Radical Reggie

[@drivenbyfate]

Reggie seems like extra stoked in this video

[@Rikky-gl4ex]

just finished Journey For the First Time. beautiful game and it feels really nice if you met another player. really awesome.

[@GamingPalOllieMK]

What a great video! I remember playing and beating Riviera on the GBA, excellent game though what the story was about I have long forgotten, I have it on PSP so I might play it on that at some point.

[@warnerg80]

Anything regarding the GBA will be great. Just keep it going

[@neeks3]

I always learn about awesome games from these, love em

[@Michirin9801]

Wow, even more GBA games I didn't know about, they look pretty good btw! Oh and, the more GBA videos the better!

[@lunarrhythm7344]

I love y'all's videos so much.

[@VictoriaJKLamburn]

Great stuff guys, really enjoyed this! :) Thanks!

[@traveling_kat]

The Shining Soul Games shine when you have a party to play with. This is what I recommend to my friends when we want to play something together.

[@atchaos4life]

Awesome vid. I went online and picked up some games immediately after watching this.

[@pakuakon7490]

Love these hidden gems videos!

[@zanychelly]

nice episode guys, you both rocks

[@hitpeppens2932]

I don´t even have GBA but god, there´s so many games in this video I´d like to play now. Thank you guys, you´re the best

[@76hellspawn]

A lot of Sega and Altus recommendations...I love it .thanks guys

[@shadowrose1252]

Nobody's mentioned Pokemon mystery dungeon red rescue team or spyro super pack- why?

[@jgalla5549]

One that I'd never expect to be good is the Max Payne GBA game. Its just like how Tony Hawk transitioned to the GBA. The shoot-dodge mechanic feels really good.

[@SNESKegaGamer]

Great video, and I'm sure I Recomended it before but Danny Phantom Urban Jungle is a fantastic GBA game based of the cartoon. What's really cool is that it's a Shoot 'em Up.

[@nickn1316]

Nice One - not heard of some so really helpful - thanks Guys
