Is there a game that should have made it on the list? Let me know in the comments below. New Top 100 gaming videos will be uploaded soon!!!

[@user-wl2xl5hm7k]

Hey! Just reminding you that you can pin your own comments if you want them to come up first for people. I’ve seen others do that

[@FlipBoji]

Did not see that number one spot coming. The three games I played religiously were leaf green, emerald, and zero mission. I wish I could experience those games for the first time again. I came to see what I should emulate lol

[@suprxmefire9497]

Watching after delta emulator has finally made it to iPhone. Wondering what gba games to play because I’ve never played gba, same for ds

[@zaknafein254]

Did you ever decide on what games to play? Lots of options, mainly depends on what types of games you like to play

[@suprxmefire9497]

@@zaknafein254 I’m playing sonic colors ds and it’s fun. But I was thinking of picking up a real DS like a lite or a dsi. I always wanted a ds since I was in kindergarten. It’s fun but doesn’t compare to the real experience in my opinion

[@withoutthejuice7193]

I’ve been addicted to picross and picross 3D on DS

[@ILoveAsuka]

nice editing thanks for the list

[@user-wl2xl5hm7k]

Thank you! Excellent info in very well-done video

[@hong10ly70]

Good top 100!!

[@vicentedelucena]

Vídeo excelente. Parabéns pelo trabalho.

[@nhen2431]

Very wonderful, thank you. I've always loved the GBA system

[@JohnnySoCal]

The GBA is an awesome system I adore.

[@supersnazzi]

The fact you put Hamtaro Ham Ham Games on here but not Hamtaro Ham Ham Heartbreak kills me 😭

[@JohnnySoCal]

Jajaja... I actually preferred the mini game set up in HamHam Games.

[@Jobraa13]

If you're a rpg and medabots fan, medabots rokusho/metabee version is also a super fun game!

[@waltlock8805]

Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX. Also sad to see so many great multiplayer games now that the servers have been killed.

[@Protector1rk]

Fire Emblem Sacred Stones where?

[@JohnnySoCal]

I placed it in 12th place. Great game!
