I remember getting FF Tactics Advance as a birthday present when I was a kid, and I was disappointed at first because I had actually asked for a different FF game but my mum had gotten them mixed up. But I'm so glad she did, because I absolutely loved that game!

[@waynevihaan5742]

instaBlaster

[@derekdellinger9589]

If you ever want to play a similar game, you should check out Tactics Ogre: Knights of Lodis. It was the last game Quest made in the Ogre Saga series before Square Enix bought them out and had them make FFTA.

[@CaptGamerXD]

Am i the only one that watched this to see what roms to get for my phone

[@KeijiMaeda86]

Lol same here but for my flash cart to use on a recently purchased game boy micro. The only game I had not heard of was Sigma Star Saga. Looks very interesting.

[@foxyisbae7013]

ok

[@Lucifronz]

Pokemon's the obvious choice, so I'm never mad when it's not included in lists like these. Not like we don't know about Pokemon already, might as well give other games a chance to shine.

[@Joe_Yacketori]

Exactly. Why do people whine about Pokemon not being on this list? There's nothing to say about them that hasn't been said before.

[@akyde6003]

Exactly man. I know Jesus included Zelda on this but it's also great when that's not included as well.

Kakarot God of carrots Why do I see you everywhere in the comments?

[@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective]

Metroid: Zero Misson Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Zelda: The Minish Cap Super Mario World Advance 2 Yeah I maybe a total sellout but these games are so god damn fun.

[@Jack_80]

i feel like i'm the only one who finds super mario world extremely boring. smb3 was so fun and had so many different power ups and stuff, and after that smw just felt so bland to me. i loved yoshi's island though, it added unique new gameplay and has the most amazing backgrounds i've seen in a 16 bit side scroller by far.

[@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective]

@@Jack_80 I mean honestly I do think it's probably you man. SMW had a ton of hidden shortcuts and endless ways to explore the levels with the Yoshi's. The world was so damn charming but the key win more than anything is the soundtrack. I think SMW has the best soundtrack in the series by a very long shot it just invigorates me to keep going. SMB3 was a great game but dying in it honestly irks me because for whatever dumbass reason the GBA version doesn't let you save wherever you want. And dying in that game is much easier than in SMW because the game legit does have challenge. I love it's world and secrets but I can rarely feel the want to pick it up and dive in ya know?

[@darkbreathhound4215]

Actually is my favorite too. I have 98% in all the modes

[@L_Qu]

I really like the card system in Circle of the Moon

[@madmaxim3965]

Just finished circle of the moon I have 98 percent complete which sucks cause that means I have to run around and hit every wall lol I also got all the cards. This games best feature to me is the blending of old school castlevania with the new metroidvania type castlevania games like symphony. You move and attack like the classics and there is no shop(didn't like that at first but kind liked how it increased difficulty) but it has nonlinear castle map design as well as a leveling system and introduces magic attack again this time done a lil different and yeah I have my problems with system, the extremely low drop rate coupled with no way of knowing which enemies holds one can be pretty frustrating also how it won't say the move till you use the effect once (a whole segment is dedicated to these special power moves but never tells you ingame how to use them and it's kind of a long motion.. plus controls could be in the manual which I didn't get and if so i take it back) but it's highs outlay the lows and having played lots of 2d castlevania this one did a great job of standing out and made a strong impression. Oh and mega man. Battle network 4 that is all

Hey, Metal Jesus. How about a GBA Hidden Gems video?

I'm so happy that FFTA was at number 2. it's my favorite game of all time! I'm glad you liked it too.

[@RightNow978]

Golden Sun was amazing! First game I had to use a walk-through for.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Do any of you own a rare or unusual GBA console variant? What is your favorite color of system?

[@Pmike404]

I imported the Japanese Famicom Version Gameboy Micro. It is pretty much the same as the US 20th anniversary GB Micro except the Japanese one has a "Happy Mario 20th" logo on the back and it came in a really cool Super Mario 8 Bit design on the inside of the box.

[@GylfiTrastarson]

***** Nice! I really like the NES version too. Had a chance to buy it once...and passed on it like a dork

[@Zeldaschampion]

I own that game boy advanced SP silver version. Such a better upgrade to the first version I had.

[@StiffAftermath]

Mega Man Zero, Gunstar Super Heroes, Drill Dozer are some of my faves on the system! Very underrated in my opinion.

[@johnnykaoticc]

i will never get tired of watching your videos i love your opinion on smups

[@obthree27]

I totally agree with the liking the shorter rpgs if they’re really good. I hate when games are just filler not killer. I’d much rather a shorter quality game than a longer game that feels like a chore to complete!

[@Z10ZeeTen]

My favorite GBA game definitely comes down to either Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team or Metroid: Zero Mission. Red Rescue Team was the first game I ever owned (and an outstanding game by itself), which pretty much guarantees it a top spot, but Zero Mission is so fun and replayable that it's hard to choose between the two.

[@josephperry3700]

Hidden Gem for you MJR - Bruce Lee: Return of a Legend. I purchased a Dingo A230 and it was on it. Holy cow is this game good.

[@Soniclover3593]

My favorite GBA games were: Sonic Advance 3, Motocross Maniacs Advance, Urbz: Sims in the City, Idirion 2, Banjo and Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, Tak 2: The staff of Dreams, and Jimmy Neutron vs Jimmy Negatron.

[@mostafadabas9312]

Golden Sun: you should check out Tales of Phantasia as well Metroid: I play both of the Metroid games and they are simply amazing P.S.: thank you for not including Pokemon. LITERALLY everyone already knows about them and how they're always #1, so excluding them gave you a better, longer, and more unique list in my opinion

[@shawnanthony1992]

I always had a very special place in my heart for Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon. Great game

[@ZataMachi]

Really good list! I almost agree on every title! Metroid Zero Mission and Fusion, Golden Sun 1 and 2, FFTA... These games are a big chunk of my childhood, and gave me so many good memories. Playing through the Golden Suns gives me tears any day. Sweet, sweet melancholy...

Ironically, since this game was hard I never got that far, my favorite part was training with Ra's Al Ghul and in my #1 game of all time, Batman Arkham City, my favorite part was also training with Ra's Al Ghul. Great game. Highly recommended.

your GBA collection is not complete without a gameboy micro

[@djdazzydeaf7568]

***** The purpose of the Gameboy Micro was the legacy of 'Game&Watch' and before you say "oh but the DS is", well the DS is the prodigy of 'Game&Watch'. You've got to look at Nintendo as a whole. So far they have done everything else except R.O.B.

***** I guess you're blind

[@PlantbasedParenting]

I love the GBA micro. The screen is super sharp and the button layout is perfect. I'm 6'2" and have large hands, but still the micro fits perfectly. My only gripe is that you can't connect the micro to the GameCube.

[@GameSack]

You said "No Pokemon". This prompted me to immediately thumbs up the video. :) Good list overall I think. I only ever had the original GBA so I never got very much into it since playing it was a pain (no backlight) and it's hard for me to justify buying multiple versions of a console only to play the same games. But I'd prefer a Micro over an SP just because they are easier to hold and my hands wouldn't be *quite* so close together. Holding the original GBA was great it's just that I couldn't see anything!

O yea River City Ransom is great.

Also I dont care how much you've played Demon's Soul, anyones who's played Riviera knows there isnt a game that you'l die more in. It isnt even frustrating after a point, you just keep dying and retry'ing over and over. thats not even the worst part...its the lack of item storage, bane of any RPG fan.

Where is the ADVANCE WARS! That game was GOD TIER AMAZINGNESS!!! Clean, Simple, Concise, Elegant, DEEP, with a HUGE skill gap. Thats all the good qualities I look for in a game! And because its turn-based you dont even have to have good reflexes at all, a pure military strategy game :D

Advance Bores!

[@suntzu6122]

lol you must have never played it. Its not for everyone, either. You have to enjoy military strategy and RTS games to enjoy it.James Cree

I should mention, I had that Pikachu-Pichu GBA as a kid. It was my first GBA system. My mother went into Gamestop and bought two, one for me, one for my brother and she got me Pokemon Sapphire and my brother Pokemon Ruby. One of my most memorable childhood moments, mainly because I wanted the games so bad. I had never owned a Pokemon game of my own before and I fell in love with Sapphire. Wish I still had my original system and games, but I only have the crap GBA games (ET and Tomb Raider) from my childhood. I've had to repurchase Ruby for myself. Anyway, the reason I feel the need to mention that is because I've always lived in Michigan, not New York. The system wasn't exclusive there, though I imagine it probably wasn't anything less than limited edition. Now I wonder how hard it would be to get one... not that I'd ever want it without a modded backlight, though.

I’m surprised that no Pokémon game is on this list, but a tony hawk 2d port is. Seems wrong but it’s his opinion.
