  • I never got to enjoy the GBA in its prime. The console came out during a time where I really wasn't playing too many handheld titles. So the GBA kind of went under my radar until way after the console was no longer relevant. I still managed play a lot of the best games the GBA had to offer, but Now almost 20 years later I decided I wanted to deep dive into the console. So I played 30 days straight of only GBA and this is how it went.

    What's the next console I should play for 30 days straight?

    I absolutely adore my micro. I'm mostly a PC player and it met all my console needs. It's just so beautiful and well-crafted that it's hard not to fall in love once you've tried it. Very glad to hear that you were able to salvage yours in the end.

    GBA was a day one console for me, actually the first time we ever got a console within its release window. Didn't have any GBA games for it right away so I played Oracle of Ages on it which I had only gotten recently.
    The micro is my favorite iteration. I didn't have one when it came out but bought one a few years ago along with a handful of games that I never got the chance to play. Some of my favorites are the Minish Cap, the Legacy of Goku II, Metroid Fusion, Advance Wars, and Banjo Kazooie Grunty's revenge since I think it did a good job of delivering a mini Banjo experience.

    In Russia, portable (and home) consoles from Nintendo have never been popular. The only exception was probably the Switch and the "Dendy" consoles, which were a clone of the NES. And most of the Dendy users didn't even know what Nintendo was

    I love gba,used to own the original (one without backlight) back in elementary school, but the power switch broke when I go to high school,so I bought a gameboy micro to replace it. Played through a bunch of games on it,Metroid,Metal Slug,Urbs,Castlevania and some fps games. I even played though Doom for the first time on the gba. I've heard SuperCard has slowdown issues and some graphical glitches,but it seems fine in the video.

    I got one about 3 weeks after launch for my 13th birthday. I remember playing it quite a bit and taking it to school with me. But the main thing that I remember is seeing another kid in school with his PSP and being super jealous, unfortunately.. especially the fact that I had already had an GBA and an SP before so yeah. But I did end up getting a PSP about 7 months after that for my 8th grade graduation. So that was awesome. Anyway I got into retro gaming/collecting about a year and a half ago and I finally just scored a Gameboy micro on ebay last night for a good price. Been wanting one for awhile.

    • @nathanglynn7443
      @nathanglynn7443 8 месяцев назад +1

      So I did the challenge and honestly I loved it. It was difficult at first and I often found myself deviating at times to watch RUclips or scroll instagram. But as time went on I got hooked to a lot of games and ended up having a great time. I’m a sucker for story based games and despite having flashy fast paced graphics, a lot of the core elements are similar between modern games with very early games. I find that if I play something a little more basic it helps my mind feel less burnt out, yet also makes me a little bored, but that goes hand in hand with dopamine overload that we all face these days.
      I highly recommend the challenge to anyone and everyone. Doesn’t matter what the console is, preferably from a previous decade or two though to really go back in time. Thank you for the video and I look forward to seeing your future challenges

    I'd consider this a bust. You used a romcart (part of the charm of these challenges is recreating what it was like to play this as it was back then, which means choosing which carts to bring. If your carts are dirty, clean them), then you used emulation, then emulation again.
    It's a shame your Micro died suddenly, and maybe it was the flashcart that did it. Some draw more power than normal cartridges, and that may have caused something to go wrong internally.
    I'd suggest trying this again, officially next time.
