Top 10 Game Boy Games

[@carlosaugustodinizgarcia3526]

Belmont's revenge had the same director as Rondo of blood and Symphony of the night.Everybody talks about Igarashi but he was not the director of the classic.

[@mattia1026]

That guy curated the transition of old school Castlevania to the weak and monochormatic gameboy, then created the best classic Castlevania, and finally set thing up for the future of the series with Symphony of the Night. Unique talent.

[@KingDarkcross]

My favorite was Metroid 2, spent hours exploring the caves and battling different forms of Metroid. I have the remake but it doesn’t have the same feel.

[@solarbubble703]

Look for Metroid II - Return of Samus EJRTQ. That is the BEST colorized hack ever. it looks very polished.

[@AgentMorgan2010]

Can confirm, the colorization is great, and really adds a lot to the game for me. Metroid II definitely belongs in a Top 10. Loved the 3DS remake, but it really loses the atmosphere. AM2R is amazing, but I only have it on my Vita, and a glitch in the conversion pretty much means it's unbeatable. But really, it's better than Nintendo's remake offering.

[@dragonskulle7283]

Link's Awakening number 1 for me, and still one of my all time favourites

[@affansonicfan]

Lol of course it is. It's a Zelda game. And what's so unique about the Zelda franchise is that ANY Zelda game (*coughexceptcdizeldagamescough*) can be a #1 favorite.

If I remember correctly, Ninja Gaiden Shadow is actually a port of an NES game called Shadow of the Ninja, which is why it plays kind of weird compared to a Ninja Gaiden game. Still great if you know what to expect

[@TheTrueBro]

Well NGS was made by Natsume, same dudes who did SotN. But IMO NGS still retains the NG feeling (jumping feels different to the usual Natsume games, and Ryu feels heavier). Natsume really knew how to respect the original games' gameplay while injecting some of their own charm.

I was 16 when I got mine for Christmas 89. It was my first Nintendo system ever. I actually like it more than the nes. Its portability and game selection were awesome and a first. I would take it on trips,to college for in between class gaps etc.it truly gave a first practical and efficent gaming on the go. I recently repurchased a launch version boxed and all. The memories came back to that exciting time when portable gaming became reality.

[@redeemer021]

Its amazing how game developers work within the system limitations of the old systems. Im still amaze how much fun gameplay they can packed in a few kilobytes of game. Compared today where games are reaching hundred of GB in size but still lacks the fun factor of the old games.

[@willmistretta]

The great thing about Super Mario Land is that they kept the sprite sizes relative to their surroundings comparable to what you'd see on the NES. They didn't zoom things in and then slow the action down to account for the reduced resolution. The sequel felt very floaty to me because of this.

[@paulclinton6414]

Mario Land 1 was the perfect game for car trips.

[@ravagingwolverine]

I agree. I always found the first one to be more fun. That zoomed view in the sequel took away from the game and the level design.

I know this is a Sega channel, so obviously everything is biased towards everything Sega (and I love that.

The soundtrack is so frickin simple, yet so lovely and memorable. It hardly ever happens with me when a month goes by without humming some of the tunes from that game, even though I played it decades ago! The guy who made the soundtrack for that game is a true genius! And the game is a gem in every sense of the word!

That TV situation you described was common enough back in the day and is lost on some who didn't experience it. That was an excellent reason to get a Game Boy. And it was probably easier than holding out for a TV considering the price difference. Sounds like Golf was a happy accident. Thanks to a chance encounter with NES Open Golf, I came to realize just how fun golf could be when translated into a video game. I've been a fan of golf video games since, though I prefer them with a bit of silliness or arcade energy, so things like Mario Golf, Hot Shots Golf, and Turf Masters are my style. But I totally agree that the sport of golf can be a great video-game experience. I always loved Super Mario Land. I loved the look and feel of it back in the day, and still appreciate it and play it fairly regularly. Gargoyle's Quest is the Game Boy game that really captured my imagination when I saw it in magazines and is the game I wanted most before I got the Game Boy. It didn't disappoint either, but it was tough to make progress at first. Ninja Gaiden Shadow ended up being a continuation of two properties at the same time as you mentioned. Shadow of the Ninja may not have been well known, but is a great ninja game in its own right. I really should look into playing the Game Boy game. This was an excellent video and a very good list. Great work.

I loved my gameboy! I got one after I helped my dad re-roof the house. Hard work but totally worth it!

[@rezterralico4369]

Epic reward!

Excellent list dude, i just got interested in the Game boy catalogue a few days ago.

[@chrusader5134]

Where's Link's Awakening?

[@ReaverPrime]

Final Fantasy Adventure (the first game in the Secret of Mana series), Final Fantasy Legend I & II (Saga Frontier series), Mega Man IV, Link's Awakening, and Metroid II were my absolute favorites on the old brick. I had many Game Boys over the years. The original one I got Christmas of 89 died from water damage when Hurricane Andrew tore up the south.

Different people, different experiences. I'm a bit younger, I was only 5 in 1989, but I had a Game Boy. Not in order, but top 10 games on my list would be: -Zelda: Link's Awakening (my favorite Zelda game to this day) -Kirby's Dream Land 2 -Super Mario Land 2 -Pokémon (Red/Blue/Yellow) -Kirby's Pinball Land -Metroid 2 (below these others, but also great) I also had a golf game, Jack Nicholas Golf, that my dad got for himself but never played. Same experience, I played it to death and got into golf. I never owned any myself, but the Donkey Kong Land games are also excellent games.

My pops got this two game pack (had no traditional box but Qix and Solar striker were both 1990 games sold for 40 total CAD). GB titles were 40 CAD new and 30 CAD as a player choice title in the 90s for the most part. My pops LOVES qix. So we got a spave shooter to play (beat it when I was 15 at the summer cottage).

Ah yes the gold old Gameboy. My entry in the gaming world in 1991 and my only gaming machine I owned for many years. My first own home console I owned was the n64 in 1997. Had many nice memories on the system. It had a nice Robocop, Batman and Turtles games. Super Mario Land and Probotector was als neat.

Nice Video Dude keep up with the good videos

[@johtotrainermax2037]

You DARE post a Nintendo thing while being named the SEGA Lord!? REEEEEEEEE- Okay, okay, I'll stop

[@Pupppeteer]

Donkey Kong on Gameboy is way too underrated! So glad you mentioned this one.

[@SegaLordX]

It's an absolutely gem. One of the best 8-bit titles ever made.

[@afriend9428]

*Play on Super Gameboy people!!*

[@retroaggression7416]

Pretty good list, would def add turtles radical rescue. If u havent played it, its basically a tmnt metroid game. Very happy to see u included Ninja Gaiden, its my fav for the system.

[@midwestmonster9886]

I thought Donkey Kong on Game Boy was a straight port until he got back up from the collapsed construction site. Then I did a double-take.

[@JopieHaargel]

Good list, we overlap quite a bit there. I would add Links Awakening, Mario Land 2 and Turtles 3.

[@storageanddisposal]

Ninja Gaiden Shadow is amazing. Shadow of the Ninja meets Ninja Gaiden, you can't go wrong. The homing spread gun is insane on Operation C.

[@thomaspleacher2735]

I loved my Gameboy as a kid. I especially loved Tetris and Faceball 2000.

[@Productions-rf5he]

Awesome video man!

[@goatbone]

I had very few games for my Game Boy but one of them was that Golf game and boy did I play it to death. Only stopped when I picked up Pokemon Red which I basically didn't remove from my Game Boy.

[@jean-marcrdt1392]

Nice top 😉 I'd personally made a space for - Super Mario Land 2 (yeah, 3 of them is much but they are So good and different 😎) - TMNT fall of the foot clan - batman return of the joker - mega man 2 😉

[@Sarcophagus74]

I got a GB when I was 15 for Xmas 1989. I loved it and how decent the headphones that came with it.

[@jtee06]
