I had forgotten entirely about Starfy until I watched this video! It was always one of my favorite games, so the first thing I did was find a rom and add the English fan translation! That in itself made the video worth watching! Thank you!!!!

[@SFpurphaze]

I just got into retro gaming and I missed the whole gba Era I'm pumped to dive into this system seems to have some gems I've never even heard of

can i just ask, what controller do you use to play these?

Nah ds can handle polygons as well.

[@VicHD]

The GBA library is so huge you can easily miss out on the hidden gems. There are games I never knew even existed!

[@Thebossstage1]

I'd recommend V rally 3 for the GBA. Its a 3D rally racing game which you could easily mistake for an early PS1 game.

[@katakis1]

Great list man! Found a couple new game I didn't have on my radar.

[@Kenshiro3rd]

I actually have and have played a LOT of these games. The GBA library was incredible, and is full of hidden, obscure, and overlooked gems. BTW there IS a better version of SF Alpha 3 for on the go. Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max for the PSP. It not only doesn't cut anything from the home or arcade versions, it ADDS a TON of things, like characters and a TON of new modes. :)

[@SurfingKyogreNL]

The Star Wars Episode III game is a real hidden gem. I'd highly recommend it to all GBA, DS (GBA and DS versions are nearly identical), Star Wars and/or beat em up fans.

[@d3drummerboy]

I can back this up, i have it and its great!

[@benhillman8384]

I think I have literally all of these. I love this era of game design so much- This and the ds were a seemingly golden era of risk-taking inventiveness, wacky gimmicks and generous use of great art. I remember there was a period of time where if you didn’t mind unboxed cartridges, the market was an absolute haven for even the most poverty-stricken collectors. That said, buyers should always check the list of games that still used batteries to store saves- replacing these is a ball ache. It’s great to see someone else still holding a candle for sigma star saga (which even has multiple endings), cima and drill dozer. There are two boktai sequels on the gba (and a meh one on the ds) that are also very much worth your time, and have complete fan translations compatible with rom carts. A gba micro style classic console would surely sell like hot cakes, but getting the rights for most of these releases would probably be impossible.

[@kosterix123]

I still have a gba sp with an M3 card crammed with all the best games, but nowadays I find the screen too small to be honest. There seems to be an emulator of gba games on the 3dsxl, Should try to get that one to work.

[@danb7601]

@@kosterix123 agreed, too small to enjoy

[@kosterix123]

@@danb7601 that was over a year ago. I play these games on a DS (if the emulator fails) or 3DS (if emulator works). Way better in both cases.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

There's also Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo Revival, Tekken Advance and other fighting games on the GBA as well.

[@RomanEmpireSPQR]

True that 😉

[@grawman67]

Seriously great videos. I always find something exciting and new to look into with your stuff. Never played most of these so I have tons to look for!

[@costantinomottola5134]

To be honest Sigma Star Saga is an impressive game for the GBA mainly because WayForward managed to cram so much content in an 8mb cartridge alongside high quality graphics and sound instead of 16mb Between Shantae GBC and Sigma Star Saga, a GBA Shantae sequel was planned but due to lack of interest from publishers, it was scrapped. it was going to have over 20 hours of content like Sigma Star Saga. Oh and you forgot Scurge Hive, Scurge Hive is also avaiable for DS which is prettg much identical. I consider Scurge Hive to be the Shantae of the GBA, an unique and high quality game that came out late in the lifecycle and it uses a 16mb cartridge

[@TheFirstTriplefife]

I love how games were made at that time. There were at least a handful of games from this list that I have already played. Definitely some more I'd like check out, like the kirby game shown here.

[@TwistedSisterK]

The Megaman Battle Network series is such a hidden gem. Awesome list / vid

[@op-up1645]

This list is so epic and comprehensive. I can hardly wait to try many (almost all) of these

[@deefuze1151]

Ugh.... I don't know who titled your games, but at the 11:33 mark someone put "Ladies Here" instead of "Lady Sia" - at 13:OO mark apparently we have "man tournament" instead of bomberman tournament... and plenty of others. lol wow.

[@zacharygirgenti3790]

Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance has a fun gba port.

[@trik6727]

[@Onotosho]

I love shining soul 2 but almost everyone I know that had GBA never heard of the game.

[@sonicmario64]

I'm surprised that the "Sonic Advance" trilogy games were not even mentioned, considering the fact that everyone tends to forget that there were good 2D-style Sonic games that did come out before "Sonic Mania", and "Sonic Battle" is also worthy of being mentioned as a unique fighting game with some RPG-style elements involving the robot character Emerl.

After this video guess I'll be breaking out my gba and playing some classics, thanks THGM🕵️‍♂️

[@timekeeper4023]

1:09 FINALLY!!!! After all these years someone is giving the CT Special Forces series on the GBA some recognition. Every time I have mentioned it to people they had no idea it existed. The only time one person had even heard the name was because of the PS1 game. I couldn't even get the third game in the series in the US. I had to import it from Canada. Any one looking for a good, underrated game series to emulate would be smart to try them.

[@ThunderFist1978]

One game I imagine isn’t well known that deserves attention is Masters Of The Universe He-Man: Power Of Greyskull. It’s an isometric hack and slash platformer, and while not perfect, it’s one of the few Masters Of The Universe games out there, and it’s fun for on the go. And heck, it even has Cam Clarke’s voice calling out, “By the power of Greyskull! I HAVE THE POWER!!!”

[@gr8ness2006]

I feel like final fantasy tactics advance was one of the highest selling games on the GBA... IDK how that game would fit on this list.

[@salaheddine4499]

I have never seen harvest moon:friends of mineral town in a GBA list its a great game I recommend it

[@liefacts3000]

Julian Golop also did my fav game as a kid. Chaos. Battle of the Wizards.

[@launchedkode]

duke nukem,ecks vs sever and minish cap were my favourite gba games

[@billcook4768]

Love this list and this video. But it’s always sad that the “extreme sports” games in the GBA never get any love. My personal favorite is Mat Hoffman Pro BMX 2. Highly recommend, especially for those looking for something different rather than yet another GBA RPG.

[@doha057]

One more hidden gems for you "Juka and the monophonic menace" I watched the whole video at 6 am hoping to find it on this list.

[@Nick_Lamb]

what is the game from the thumbnail? I want to play it. it looks so fun.

[@Powerthewolf232323]

I have been looking for an old game for the GBA for years now. It was a game in which you would control little aliens/monsters from a top down view. The little monsters/aliens would transfer their consciousness to other ones in different parts of the level and solve puzzles until you got them all together or a specific # of them to pass the level or area and progress to the other part. In some sections you would have as if it was poop monsters and the dynamic was the same, the only difference was you would flush them down a “toilet” and you would need a specific number of them to pass. If you somehow got any of them hurt/killed you could not advance. Anybody remember the name or know about this game?

[@leaderx7547]

Medal of Honor Infiltrator is one of the best GBA games. Even if you haven't featured it yet.

[@Turtlejohn8]

I recommend you try kururin. It has an English translation too. It's a really cool Japanese game that can't really be called a platformer or put into a very good genre. You are in a long spaceship that is shaped like a stick. It's kind of like a helicopter. It slowly spins around a center axis and you have to navigate it through puzzles

[@houseoftheted637]

I'll be making a list of GBA games to purchase this year 😎

[@totallyfrozen]

Drill Dozer. Yup, you’re right! At $120+/- for the cart only, that’s definitely a game I haven’t played. Unfortunately, I don’t see it in my future either.

[@liefacts3000]

Julian gollop is the master of tactical games. He made my fav game "chaos battle of the Wizards" on the speccy. Another plethora of games you've procured for us. Yeahhhh.

[@onaretrotip]

Great video, Richard!

[@Nebujin383]

LOL, the click-bait picture to make sure all the old-school fans gonna watch this xD Excellent!

[@CommodoreFan64]

the GBA for sure was a great system, my only problems with going back to real hardware is a I feel the SP to be a bit to cramped for my hands, and the original hot having a front/back light, and yes I know you can mod a GBA, but it's not cheap. So thank GOD for good Android emulation, and controllers from the likes of Power A's MOGA line.

[@jonathanlisowski5618]

Great list! Thanks THGM.

[@kosterix123]

That's correct, I never played 48 of those 50. I was playing Advance Wars all the time. Afte completing both, did Golden Sun. Mazes of Fate (came out later also for the ds). Polarium. Broken Sword. Denki blocks. Summon Night. The switch collection pales in comparison.

[@9ElevenGamer]

That Pool Game looked interesting, so I've just paid for it, I await its arrival.

[@ahmedbilal8565]

Emulator of course. My parents bought me a gameboy when i was around 3 years old. I was so Happy. But I can't get it now sad

[@kennymetz187]

My one piece of advice is I wish guys like you and gamesack would break this down into 50 separate review videos too. Think of the insane amount of content you would add with minimal effort. Who cares if they're short, it's a good idea. Many of these games have never been reviewed on there own and deserve to be

[@TopHatGamingManChannel]

Sadly for me anyway, I do not get views when I review single games.

[@Mr.madmight266]

i'm being a sucker for Metal Slug, Probotector/Contra and Castlevania stuff lately so i do wanna check out CT Special Forces for sure. i didn't really like Ninja Cop, but i did like the graphics.

[@finnhaverkamp]

I added CT to my list as well.

[@Mr.madmight266]

@@finnhaverkamp Yeah you wanna know something? i actually didn't find the CT Special Forces games to be as fun as say Metal Slug, purely because you can't shoot fast enough. and i also noticed the controls are clunkier than in Metal Slug. The CT Special Forces games are not horrible though, but i would much rather recommend Alien Hominid for the GBA, it's another MS styled game that actually has better controls.
