Why I'm Buying Game Boy Advance Games In 2023...

When I started college in 2011, GBA was my nostalgia hot spot and they were dirt cheap at my game store! I got my 70+ game GBA collection for basically $5 each. Even titles like Fire Emblem, Drill Dozer and Botkai. All of retro was pretty affordable then.

[@XEMIko79x]

Man 2011 was a great time for GBA. That's around the time I started picking up more games. So many great games. I got my copy of boktai from a blockbuster back in like 2005 or 06. I wish we had more games like that.

[@stephendallas9709]

@@XEMIko79x I think that GameCube and GameBoy were all affordable then because Wii/Wii U weren't doing so hot and Nintendo-fever was at an all time low. Switch really stepped up their game and recaptured market-share of gamers. That caused the GameCube-flation we've known and loved the last few years haha

Emerald is my favorite as well. I’ve got the really rare big box copy that was exclusive to Walmart. It retails for around 1.5k these day’s. But gen 3 is my favorite. I love the bright colors, graphics and art style. Hoping we’ll get a remake someday.

[@hirakatashii]

Please tell me you’ve played Minish Cap - I didn’t get a copy until I was an adult but now it’s probably my favorite game on the whole system

[@AssasiNater5001]

Dude!!! Minish Cap is still one of my favorite Zelda games period, I know how that sounds considering the number of near perfect Zelda games in general but it’s probably top 5 if not top 3.

[@hirakatashii]

@@AssasiNater5001 I agree it’s definitely one of the better Zelda titles out of the ones I’ve played so far! I also love Windwaker, A Link Between Worlds (3DS), and obviously Breath of the Wild - although I haven’t completed any of them yet 😂

[@yunogasai1338]

I remember being totally obsessed with sonic advance 2. That game still holds up well. It has some of my favorite sonic ost and the art and character animation is beautiful. You can unlock tails, knuckles, cream, and even amy( if you're lucky) as playable after sonic. You can also unlock some chao mini games too. Unfortunately I was never good enough to collect all of the chaos emeralds or unlock amy. It's still great fun though. I have no idea how I used to play it in the car without getting motion sick as a kid. My original gba got killed by battery acid one summer when I was in fifth grade so I got an sp two years later. Now my sp either can't hold a charge or there's a short around the light that makes it constantly fluctuate between red and green. Either way it makes gaming on it hard so I might need a new one.

[@kingstarscream320]

You’ve got good taste in games. Sonic Advance 2 is a classic. Ultra fast, but challenging.

[@metalmovies]

I think you just need to replace the battery in the GBA SP. It's really cheap and easy to do.

[@AndDeathForAll82]

I can’t believe how expensive some of the games in my collection are now.

[@Paragleiber]

I never had a GBA growing up and I wish I would have started looking into it sooner as an adult. I would love to have original copies of all the main Pokémon games (including the boxes) but the GBA and DS ones are so expensive nowadays...

It saves money over buying every cartridge as ROMs can be downloaded on sites.

I've got a good job and I'm interested in retro gaming, but I also live with people: Meaning I don't have a lot of room to spread out and I'm strategic with my money. Once I have my own place, I'll get my old PC up and running, and start collecting vintage game systems.

[@midnightstrike3625]

Love all the Battle Network references. 2 is the best one too imo! I'm a purist myself so for me it's OG hardware or nothing. I love my SP like no other, and the clamshell design is awesome. The analog pocket looks cool, but it's still a retron-like system that plays GB games.

[@Dekomata]

GBA was my starting point in terms of collecting. Dating back to when the gba was still new, my collector instinct kicked in when i was 11. By that time i decided to keep every piece of the game as i got them new since i knew one say they'd end up being worth alot. Fastforward today, my most valuable games in my gba collection as of this writing is metroid zero mission and pokemon fire red. Given, I'm also getting games that I've missed somehow or didnt have interest in for whatever reason. That said, gba is probably my richest looking collection so far. At least compared to my nes and snes collections.

[@geoffrubin3498]

Other than losing the nostalgia factor of having the carts in hand, have you looked into any of the retro handhelds? Pretty cool stuff and you can always backup your own physical carts to stay out emulation legality murkiness.

[@TheDrewYanez]

The pocket itself is already a retro handheld. You don’t need to play physical carts if you don’t want to. Just load them up on the micro SD if you want. Plays like a dozen other consoles as well.

[@TheOneTrueNeravarOfOoo]

Does that emulator have it's own save system built into it, or does it still rely on the battery saves on the board? I just don't see myself spending money on a game I can't even save.

[@scientistservant]

Emerald's the best -- fond memories of playing gen 2 and 3 on car/camping trips. Shame that physical copies have RTC troubles -- even if you get a fresh battery in berries won't grow and the tides for shoal cave won't work. Really frustrating. Golden Sun is also a favourite of mine!
