@@amanwithnoname4657 I’d love remakes of PH and ST with more traditional control schemes, and better graphics obviously, if they felt like it they could make them look as good as wind waker
It’s. Not. Going. To. Happen. Nintendo never rereleases games that close to each other. Metroid Prime? It had been over a decade since they released those on the Wii.
@@leeartlee915 Alright well its not a big deal lol. Just would be nice to have almost every Zelda game on the Switch for younger people to try out who weren't alive when the originals released.
Minish Cap was actually the third Zelda game made by Capcom. They also made the Oracle games for Gameboy color which will be added to NSO later on. If you love Links Awakening definitely give those a shot, they’re also great.
@Shin3y yeah the oracle of season's & ages and Golden sun are what I'm really waiting for, but having the Minish Cap and superstar saga at launch is awesome
The special thing about Nintendo Online Mario Advance 4 is that it’s packed with additional 30ish levels. The base cartridge didn’t have them because it required a separate add-on known as the e-Reader.
Minish Cap was an absolute BANGER!!! I LOVED playing it as a kid. Im 30 years old so the GBA was my favorite handheld as well. It’s so awesome to see them finally adding it to the Switch.
@@xxargonautxx9790 You’re bringing back memories now man! Advanced wars, FF Tactics Advanced, Super Mario Tennis….the system is filled with memories like you said
That would be neat but, isn't the gamecube d-pad literally a gba d-pad? They could just do official gamecube joycons and.... but then you would lose those nice clicky L and R buttons of the gba doing that.... oh dear.
I honestly liked the new dpad way better than the old ones, it often thinks i push mutliple buttons when i press it so making them separate buttons makes it easier to not misinput
Its so hard to believe most of these games were made over twenty years ago. I still remember coming across Sonic advance in a Toys 'R Us, and getting it as a Christmas gift, and first game, with Yoshi's Island, with the GBA.
@@macuser7048 Yeah, I thought the TCG was the real thing, and raise a chao all the way up to lv.99 in each stat. This was before I found out about grades, traits, racing, and chao karate. I am afraid to say, I never played the original yoshi's island on the SNES. The GBA was just a glorified portable SNES system.
@@KonohaRamenNoodles Let me tell you, Culdcept was released around this time, and I regret ever sleeping on this series. I like how the game is like the product of Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic, and Fortune Street. Here's hoping they make another for the Switch or something.
They're bringing Golden Sun, bring in Lost Age as well and we're cooking. Those two games are arguably the best games to have ever come out on GB. Hopefully people will play them and interest will renew. I'd KILL for either a continuation of the series or a remake or something like that. What a fantastic set of games.
I Imagine they will. I mean they have too. Because golden sun 1&2 are the same game. Golden sun was originally suppose to be on the n64 but because of money issues they moved the production to the gba and had the split the game into two different games. Releasing the 2nd one the very next year. So It would make sense to release both of them in the switch.
@@ThomastheDankEngine8900 at this point any exposure of the series to new players will bring on new fans, and more fans means more potential for a new golden sun
WarioWare GBA is one of my favorite games ever and has continued to be one of my favorite series ever, to the point that I've been making fan content of it continually since its start in the 2000s. Glad your first encounter with it was a fun one!
After seeing Kirby Tilt and Tumble is confirmed to come. The re release of Wario Twisted ive wanted since wiiu was new is so close to being real!!! Favorite gba game of all time
Played it a few days ago and beat it in 2 hours and 13 minutes. Which is ironic because my birthday is February 13th(2/13). Definitely an awesome game. My first experience with Warioware. Probably gonna pick up the newest one some time soon.
One of the coolest features on the GBA WarioWare was the sticker instruction booklet with it's own sort of "mini-game". Designated places for each sticker through the whole thing. I purchased this game new at least twice just to re-do that instruction booklet lmao. Definitely a SUPER underrated series, and Get It Together! was the SHIT.
Fun fact: in Mario Kart Super Circuit you can leave red shells behind you similar to how you launch green shells backwards. They will sit there and then follow the first kart to pass. I don't think they ever had this ability before or since.
@@AsherTheModder I didn't say they would let you transfer the pokemon, just that'd they'd all drop around the same time as stadium, with it being the pokemon anniversary or pokemon day or whatever it's supposed to be, it'd make sense to drop them, or gen 3 fire red and leaf green, along with stadium
I was pleasently surprised about the filters that you can switch on, to make it look more like on its original console. Some games look much better with it!
There was a sequel to Kuru Kuru Kurururin called Kurururin Paradise. Only released in Japan, it's not terribly expensive and the GBA isn't region locked.
Check out the 2 Zelda Oracle games when they come out. They were like the later Battle Network games taking the Pokemon dual release idea into it's own direction and I think it's the best of the lot. They're 2 unique games that share 1 story, sequeling eachother through game codes and both changing depending on which one you played first in slight ways with NPCs and a few references to the one you played first. Highly recommended. Capcom's first Zelda attempt building off of Link's Awakening and truly being marvelous. Won't have the chillness of Link's Awakening, but they're major slept on gems
Watching Matty play Super Mario Bros. 3, Level 1-1 was so brutal. LOL Knowing where everything is and just seeing him walk (Yup, you heard me, WALK) right past all of it was torturous.
Wario Land 3 is one of the greatest games of all time. Genuinely surprised you didn't seem interested. Hands down the best title on the GB/GBC library. Super Mario Land 2 is up there too.
@@macuser7048 Lol it's really not. It's super straightforward. If you get stuck or lost the hidden figure tells you exactly where to go. And there's not any backtracking. You can only access a small portion of each level until you collect a new powerup or specific treasure that changes something within that level. You're basically playing an entirely new level each time. The only backtracking would be the 8 coins in each level but 1. that's optional & 2. you technically don't need to backtrack anyway because if you are told to go to a certain level for the fourth time (blue chest) then you already have access to the entire level and can collect them before opening the blue chest. The only valid criticism about the game would be centered around the golf mini game since 1. it's mandatory to progress 2. it pops up quite frequently, & 3. the game doesn't really teach you how to play it. But once you learn how it works (if my 5 or 6 year old self could figure it out, anybody can) it's a breeze. Also, I don't recall 1, 2, or 4 having any relevance to my original comment?
If I'm not wrong Game and Watch Gallery games are compilations of the Game and Watch games Nintendo released over many years, with "modern" versions that have updated graphics and physics. I'm surprised you didn't mention that! It's fun to see the history.
While I hope they make remakes of the Oracle games, I love that they will put the originals in the service. They're the Zelda games of my childhood, that and Minish Cap and I'm already playing that even though I've played it several times already!
@@amanwithnoname4657 yes, I meant to say remakes like they did with Link's Awakening before. I really want to play these games again and I'm glad they are going to be on the Switch soon.
When I saw Wario Land 3 was one of the launch games, it made me seriously consider subscribing. It's my favourite game of all time and is the reason why I'm such a huge gamer. Even wrote an essay about why it's the most unique metroidvania ever made, then did a reading of it on my channel. Was a little disappointed you didn't mention how it looks docked, but I'm sure it's quite good and might decide to subscribe just for that alone.
I played it for a while, it looks great docked I really hope we get the other WarioLands aswell I find it odd they only gave us WL3 but not 1 or 2 same with SML2 and not 1, I'm really hoping WarioLand4 comes to GBA cause that's the one I grew up with and I love it!
Love the Analogue Pocket it’s great with the emulator chip now available for roms like Inclement Emerald while also being able to play original cartridge games. Having the ability to play like an original game boy or game boy advanced while also having amazing emulation is truly great. Highly recommend getting for original hardware because Gameboy Advanced handhelds cost way to much.
We absolutely NEED these 4 games and I think the list would be perfect. Pokemon red and blue Donkey kong 94 and Metal gear solid Ghost Babel That mgs game has no right being as good as it is.
Bionic Commando Elite Force, Revenge of the Ninja, Resident Evil Gaiden, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Tetris DX, Warlocked, Dragon Warrior III, Mole Mania, Kid Icarus of Myths and Monsters, Balloon Kid (Japanese one was in full color!)
Looking forward to Golden Sun on Switch. Though I am worried a bit too because Golden Sun on Wii U looks pretty rough, especially when playing on a tv.
Really excited for this. GBA was probably my favorite Nintendo system. I will say it’s probably going to be the most challenging one since most of the games are third part but I look forward to it. Honestly I like how Nintendo has taken a back seat in the console war and just focuses on fun and nostalgia and lets Sony and Microsoft fight over graphics.
ironically, that focus on fun and nostalgia over graphics now makes them a lot more popular than the competition, since the ps5 and new xbox didn’t excite anyone upon release. doesn’t help that it was difficult to find those two for a while, yet the switch consistently remained in stock and had a better library _in its first year_ than its competitors do NOW.
@@kaphizmey6229 saying PS5 and Xbox series X not exciting anyone, is a huge stretch, but I do agree that there libraries are way more limited than what anyone was expecting for its first year.
Yeah but ps5 exclusives are just starting to come out. If Xbox remakes 2 and 3 with online play, I’m getting an Xbox too. The dead space remake looks great. The resident evil 4 remake won’t be releasing on the switch. The cloud versions suck and don’t count those. Nintendo does have it on lock for older Nintendo games. They need to release the Pokémon games that came out for gbc and gba to put a huge dent in the retros that have all the older most popular game boy games. Nintendo needs to release more popular past titles rather than 75% mario games that didn’t age well.
This really makes me miss Virtual Console. I bought so much for wii and 3ds. I still have those games downloaded and on cart but knowing you only get those games while subscribed with no way to even download them, eg ps plus, it feels like a very poor substitute now. But great for anyone where this is their only way of playing these classics.
Once they bring Metroid Fusion to GBA Online, you’ll be able to play the entire Metroid saga (games 1-5) entirely on the Switch! I think that’s amazing.
Nah, once they add Zero Mission life will be good 😅 OG Metroid is pretty ass today (still the only one I've never beat... mainly cause Zero Mission exists)
@@MrRhysReviewsyeah, now there’s a fair chance that zero mission ends up on switch… though they could leave it off to avoid redundancy, which would be incredibly stupid of them
It's good to see. I don't regret getting an Analogue Pocket, though. I love that it can play carts, I love the features and the feel of it, the filters are great, and it doesn't have that stupid onscreen menu that Nintendo seems to think that we want. But these games were made to be played by the masses, and now they can be - at least some of them.
As a huge Zelda fan, Minish Cap being the first game I ever played (and owned) in the series is one of my absolute favorites, next to Majora's Mask (THE best game ever)
Wario Land 3 was my childhood. I never beat it but man did I spend a lot of time in that world when I was in elementary school. Same with the og Pokémon, DKC, Tarzan, and mickeys racing adventure
Only Wario Land games I had were Wario Land 2 and 4. Tarzan I had on N64. It was alright. I also had Mickey's Racing Adventure. That game is underrated. Me and my sister worked together on unlocking everything in that game.
Glad to see these, and it does make me wonder whether DS will be added to NSO eventually. It would need a lot of work to function properly on the Switch though, given lack of a mic, so... who knows.
We had official ds emulation on the wii u and it was mostly terrible lol. For some reason nintendo mainly brought over stylus heavy/bottom screen games like phantom hourglass or prime hunters and it was super awkward on the gamepad. The distance from the side of the controller is just to far to properly stylus. Some top screen focused games are great on the tv/gamepad setup like crono trigger or pokemon diamond, or the kingdom hearts games, but like most ds games that would've made sense on the wii u they werent officially released, so you have to softmod the console to get those via rom injections
I'd guess and say that they'll probably release or at least announce some Pokémon game(s) for the Online-service with their Pokémon Direct that they have every year on Pokémon Day, feb 27th, (or maybe it was the 26th?). Pokémon always has their own thing when it comes to this. I could be wrong and maybe they'll add nothing for now, but yeah. I'd personally love to see the Gen 1 and 2 games on there.
@@revolution91156 I've been thinking of that since the n64 online came out, but honestly I doubt Nintendo will bother with trying to find a way to do it
@Might Be A Nerd well it did say when they revealed pokemon stadium 1 and 2 was coming out on for NSO N64 that there wasn't going to be a "pack" for that but that's b4 they announced GB so who knows anything is possible
AlphaDream (Mario & Luigi developers) wasn't shut down by Nintendo. They filed for bankruptcy, and closed down after making 2 Mario & Luigi remakes for 3DS in a row that sold poorly.
Kirby and the amazing mirror and the legend of Zelda four swords would have been great games to launch the service with to really show off the online functionality. Most people have never gotten to play them the way they where meant to be played since finding 4 people with the games Gameboys and link cables so having them with friends online would be a great way to show the service and excite pepole for it.
I was going to buy a GBA Friday!! Honestly I still might lol I just loved the sp so much and it's more portable. I would also love to collect game boy games.
@@JohnTKyeah, but as an owner of a modded gba i’d argue there’s still some merit to duplicate carts. now you don’t have to pay hundreds of dollars to play drill dozer lmao (…even though you might want to later for collection purposes)
I was actually surprised they didn't put in any Pokemon games too. I feel like that's just a super guaranteed way to ensure free money for Nintendo lol I'm just hoping the add a Pokemon Hub or something. I like Nintendo overall, but I'm definitely just a Pokemon fan. The lack of real pokemon titles is why I haven't upgraded my Switch Online yet. Like I heard Stadium 1&2 were coming to the N64 but last I checked, they still aren't there. Anyway, hopefully on Pokemon day they announce a Pokemon specific service with Red-Fire Red, maybe Green too since the west never got it. Honestly, they could make so much more money ripping the Pokemon stuff from the N64 and GBA/C and putting it on a Pokemon only App.
I think Pokémon Yellow is unlikely considering Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are remakes of that game. Pokémon will require extra care considering the trading and the expectation of bringing your Pokémon into the new games. Edit: To be fair, Link's Awakening is here while the Switch already has a remake, but Pokémon even dragged their heels coming to the 3DS, and even then it was a slow trickle.
@@starman5901 I'm aware of this. They'd need to make sure that sort of thing works before they bring it to Switch. Also they need to possibly adjust some of the games considering stuff like Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Gold, Silver, and Crystal all have the real time clock element.
Mario Kart Super Circuit may not have a purpose anymore, but when it released it was absolute fire. I remember my tween years, particularly the summer holidays in the Benidorm of those days... That was a great childhood. GBA, Golden Sun, Pokémon Silver and Mario Kart Super Circuit at Benidorm beach and visiting the arcades before dinner (with Simpsons Arcade, House of the Dead, Three Wonders and Radikal Bikers) were peak childhood and peak summer for a middle-class Spaniard kid back then. I envy no kids nowadays, they won't ever know what that was like.
It does have a purpose. It still has unique tracks. To me it's a direct sequel to the SNES Super Mario Kart. Same with F-Zero Maximum Velocity but GP Legend and Climax have more racers and more content.
@Decatonkeil because Simpsons arcade came out much earlier then the other games. Meaning you literally just proved what you said at the end is incorrect. 90s gamers when that came out thought you would never know what that was like either.
I’m happy they added GB stuff along with everything else, but man is it annoying not being able to buy the games outright. I owned the OG Paper Mario on my Wii U and I can’t even play my copy, let alone the game at all unless I pay for the more expensive online bundle; sure it’s not the worst thing in the world but it still sucks, wish I could buy them or just pay for the service.
I'm fine with playing them on a yearly service since you only have to pay once a year. But the tax on it is stupid. I got a gift card with 50 dollars on it and figured i could use it for the online plus expansion pass. Turns out it had 3 dollars tax and that wasn't on the card. O.O I have to now use a smaller amount on another gift card to get the money needed for the tax. Why can't I just use a 50 dollar Nintendo card for the 50 dollar service???????
Idk they have to make it compatible with pokemon home and remove the save states just like how they did with the pokemon red blue yellow gold silver crystal games on the 3ds
I played Six Golden Coins for the first time, and it's such a strange experience. It's definitely a 2dario game, but they went wild with the gimmicks. Moon jumps on the moon, Jason Voorhees Goombas, a whole level in the crotch if the giant Mario mech based on balls. It's just like the strangest fan game I've eve played, but it's legit. I can't believe I missed this for so long
You have nothing to worry about with them adding these when you just got your Analogue Pocket. It will be like every other console they add to the service: The first drop is massive, the next drops are trickles, and eventually they just stop altogether except for that one time in a year where they decide to surprise drop a game no one has ever asked for. I guarantee, you are good. They will not put more than 30 games on there, and a majority of the ones they drop later will just be nonsense. As opposed to the Analogue where you can have all the games you could dream of.
Capcom also made the Zelda Oracle games on GBC Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. 2 separately Great games and they link together to get the true ending. Supposed to be added to the service later.
Check out the shining Force games franchise sometime. They are amazingly fun and a blast from the past. Originally on the Genesis but ported to the Gameboy.
The first one was ported. Resurrection of the Dark Dragon is Legacy of Great Intention. But Shining Soul 1 and 2 are completely original games. Also Resurrection of Dark Dragon is a remake done by Atlus since Camelot was working for Nintendo and not Sega at the time. Golden Sun to me is closer to the old Shining games but Atlus did a decent job. Fire Emblem games are similar to Shining Force too. GBA had so many good RPGs and strategy games. I mean heck it has a Tactics Ogre prequel even!
Good video as usual, gotta wonder however if you’ll be covering some of the other games featured in the direct in the future aswell though, like samba de amigo, layton, ghost trick, etrian odyssey or baten kaitos
So we got Baten Kaitos 1 and 2, Tales of Symphonia, and Grandia 1 and 2 on Switch now. All we need now is Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, Skies of Arcadia Legends, and Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2. Fire Emblem Path of Radiance would be cool too.
@@macuser7048 I’d rather have a “Fire Emblem Radiant Collection” that includes the Wii one too, I also wouldn’t mind a hypothetical Paper Mario collection that includes both 64 and TTYD so there’s a way to actually own PM64 instead of renting it through switch online, but yeah, crossing my fingers for a skies of arcadia remaster
I am hoping they are waiting on adding the pokemon games for when they introduce Pokemon Stadium. Perhaps with the ability to transfer pokemon to Stadium and back.
Superstar Saga is wonderful funny and well worth your time. Minish Cap is fun too, on the short side (no pun intended) but what it has is top tier Zelda imo. Have fun!
They should just let you buy the individual games and download it to your system. Why am I paying a monthly service to rent these games? I'd be happy to pay if I could own the game. I'm going to keep on pirating these games and emulating them on my steam deck without reprucussions.
What I love about most of these gba games included is they’re all very “is that even a good idea?” And they’re all 9s and 10s. From Capcom making a Zelda, to a Mario rpg with lots of dialogue, and a wario mini game collection. Also I agree about MK8 spoiling other cart racers. Unless you have nostalgia for a specific game, it’s hard to beat mk8. Glad they continued to add content and made it worth the money
I feel the same way about Mario Kart: Super Circuit. It's a fine enough game, and when I got it for my birthday way back when it came out, it was so fun to be able to play a Mario Kart game wherever I went (at this point I think 64 and the original game were the only ones out there. So it was a real novelty to be able to play it elsewhere. But after Mario Kart DS, and then especially Mario Kart 7, that novelty was no longer there. And since they looked so much better, with real 3D environments and such, it took a lot of the specialness out of Super Circuit. For the time, it was wonderful. But nowadays it's more of a curiosity. And to be honest, I was never a big fan of the 2D environments of the SNES one, so I wasn't thrilled with these. So literally 90% of how you feel! I'm sure the processing couldn't handle the environments and the racing at the time. But I do wonder what the game could have been like if it took the Iridion 3D route of graphics. Iridion 3D, by the way, still looks incredible today. I don't know what kind of magic they used, but wow... it's amazing. And despite some people finding it to be more of a novelty for its graphics than the gameplay (the opposite of Super Circuit...) , I actually really love the gameplay.
Me and my two other friends played this Kuru Kuru Kururin last night for like 50 rounds on the marathon mode for multiplayer. It was so mich fun for such a simple concept. I of course got last place, my friends were better than me by a mile. The first one was ahead of me consistently by 10 or so points. But the second friend, my god she absolutely gave us our asses on a silver platter. Im glad the gba emulator chose this game, I thought we would get bored of it but we were just laughing every round on how bad we were at not touching the walls.
Tanooki. It's called the Tanooki suit. Also, the GBA one has voice clips which aren't present in any other version. Also its set up with bonus levels, which used to only bring obtainable via scanning cards with the E Reader accessory. Probably the best of the initial batch.
I love access to old games, I just despise having a yearly subscription to them. Sucks knowing I have to buy the games again next year, then if Switch store ever goes offline, I all of a sudden no longer have access to these games
Seems like later generations of gamers tend to ignore what came before. Like how GBA was ignored for the DS and GBC was ignored for GBA. lol Poor N64 and Gamecube had to suffer through an entire generation of kids that grew up on Wii and Wii U. They still talk trash on old games. Try asking any kid about Golden Sun and they have no idea what you're talking about and have no idea what made them so good. Crazy because they go on and on about how great Xenoblade Chronicles 1-3 are and yet they never touched the Xenosaga games. lol
Holy damn Minish cap was good. That's one of the Zelda games I never played - loved it. So much content! I'm making a 2D action adventure my self so I always try to play games in the same genre. I can highly recomend Minish cap.
Its good that a lot of the older Zelda games are playable on Switch now. They need to release Wind Waker and Twilight Princess on Switch at some point.

Its so hard to believe most of these games were made over twenty years ago. I still remember coming across Sonic advance in a Toys 'R Us, and getting it as a Christmas gift, and first game, with Yoshi's Island, with the GBA.

Played it a few days ago and beat it in 2 hours and 13 minutes. Which is ironic because my birthday is February 13th(2/13). Definitely an awesome game. My first experience with Warioware. Probably gonna pick up the newest one some time soon.
One of the coolest features on the GBA WarioWare was the sticker instruction booklet with it's own sort of "mini-game". Designated places for each sticker through the whole thing. I purchased this game new at least twice just to re-do that instruction booklet lmao. Definitely a SUPER underrated series, and Get It Together! was the SHIT.
Fun fact: in Mario Kart Super Circuit you can leave red shells behind you similar to how you launch green shells backwards. They will sit there and then follow the first kart to pass. I don't think they ever had this ability before or since.
It's exactly like the claymore with homing attack I miss that good times
Dude we need mainline Pokémon games on the service especially with Pokémon stadium 1 and 2 coming soon
My guess is that they'll drop at the same time as stadium, all 6 of the gen 1 and 2 games
@@4PlayerCardGamesthat would be fantastic
they already said they never intend to let you transfer to stadium lol
@@AsherTheModder I didn't say they would let you transfer the pokemon, just that'd they'd all drop around the same time as stadium, with it being the pokemon anniversary or pokemon day or whatever it's supposed to be, it'd make sense to drop them, or gen 3 fire red and leaf green, along with stadium
@@4PlayerCardGames no it wouldn't because remakes make infinitely more money
I was pleasently surprised about the filters that you can switch on, to make it look more like on its original console.
Some games look much better with it!
There was a sequel to Kuru Kuru Kurururin called Kurururin Paradise. Only released in Japan, it's not terribly expensive and the GBA isn't region locked.
Check out the 2 Zelda Oracle games when they come out. They were like the later Battle Network games taking the Pokemon dual release idea into it's own direction and I think it's the best of the lot. They're 2 unique games that share 1 story, sequeling eachother through game codes and both changing depending on which one you played first in slight ways with NPCs and a few references to the one you played first. Highly recommended. Capcom's first Zelda attempt building off of Link's Awakening and truly being marvelous. Won't have the chillness of Link's Awakening, but they're major slept on gems
Watching Matty play Super Mario Bros. 3, Level 1-1 was so brutal. LOL Knowing where everything is and just seeing him walk (Yup, you heard me, WALK) right past all of it was torturous.
I’m hyped that the 6 Golden Coins was one of the games they added. It’s still my favorite Mario game just because I played it sooooo much as a kid
My mom got me super Mario land 2 six golden coins when it came out in 1992. I played it lots and loved it when I was 10 years old.
Wario Land 3 is one of the greatest games of all time. Genuinely surprised you didn't seem interested. Hands down the best title on the GB/GBC library. Super Mario Land 2 is up there too.
It's super confusing for a first timer. That game has backtracking that you would know if you played it before. Not as straight forward as 1, 2, or 4.
@@macuser7048 Lol it's really not. It's super straightforward. If you get stuck or lost the hidden figure tells you exactly where to go. And there's not any backtracking. You can only access a small portion of each level until you collect a new powerup or specific treasure that changes something within that level. You're basically playing an entirely new level each time. The only backtracking would be the 8 coins in each level but 1. that's optional & 2. you technically don't need to backtrack anyway because if you are told to go to a certain level for the fourth time (blue chest) then you already have access to the entire level and can collect them before opening the blue chest. The only valid criticism about the game would be centered around the golf mini game since 1. it's mandatory to progress 2. it pops up quite frequently, & 3. the game doesn't really teach you how to play it. But once you learn how it works (if my 5 or 6 year old self could figure it out, anybody can) it's a breeze. Also, I don't recall 1, 2, or 4 having any relevance to my original comment?
surprised they didn’t include wario land 2 in the gb launch lineup, maybe they’ll add it later
Superstar saga is my favorite Mario game. Really love its rpg style
If I'm not wrong Game and Watch Gallery games are compilations of the Game and Watch games Nintendo released over many years, with "modern" versions that have updated graphics and physics. I'm surprised you didn't mention that! It's fun to see the history.
While I hope they make remakes of the Oracle games, I love that they will put the originals in the service. They're the Zelda games of my childhood, that and Minish Cap and I'm already playing that even though I've played it several times already!
The Oracle's were confirmed in the direct
@@amanwithnoname4657 yes, I meant to say remakes like they did with Link's Awakening before. I really want to play these games again and I'm glad they are going to be on the Switch soon.
Oracles are cool because you can finish them in any order you want. There's TONS of content there!
@@macuser7048 it's a shame they cancelled the third game that was planned. One for each part of the Triforce... That would be great.
@@perkasenior Yeah but probably complicated to pull off on GBC. having two versions like Pokemon worked great.
When I saw Wario Land 3 was one of the launch games, it made me seriously consider subscribing. It's my favourite game of all time and is the reason why I'm such a huge gamer. Even wrote an essay about why it's the most unique metroidvania ever made, then did a reading of it on my channel. Was a little disappointed you didn't mention how it looks docked, but I'm sure it's quite good and might decide to subscribe just for that alone.
Came looking for someone to mention wario land. Epic fail by the content creator
I played it for a while, it looks great docked I really hope we get the other WarioLands aswell I find it odd they only gave us WL3 but not 1 or 2 same with SML2 and not 1, I'm really hoping WarioLand4 comes to GBA cause that's the one I grew up with and I love it!

Love the Analogue Pocket it’s great with the emulator chip now available for roms like Inclement Emerald while also being able to play original cartridge games. Having the ability to play like an original game boy or game boy advanced while also having amazing emulation is truly great. Highly recommend getting for original hardware because Gameboy Advanced handhelds cost way to much.
This man watched the direct and said There is work to be done
We absolutely NEED these 4 games and I think the list would be perfect.
Pokemon red and blue
Donkey kong 94 and
Metal gear solid Ghost Babel

Bionic Commando Elite Force, Revenge of the Ninja, Resident Evil Gaiden, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Tetris DX, Warlocked, Dragon Warrior III, Mole Mania, Kid Icarus of Myths and Monsters, Balloon Kid (Japanese one was in full color!)
Looking forward to Golden Sun on Switch. Though I am worried a bit too because Golden Sun on Wii U looks pretty rough, especially when playing on a tv.
Really excited for this. GBA was probably my favorite Nintendo system. I will say it’s probably going to be the most challenging one since most of the games are third part but I look forward to it. Honestly I like how Nintendo has taken a back seat in the console war and just focuses on fun and nostalgia and lets Sony and Microsoft fight over graphics.
ironically, that focus on fun and nostalgia over graphics now makes them a lot more popular than the competition, since the ps5 and new xbox didn’t excite anyone upon release. doesn’t help that it was difficult to find those two for a while, yet the switch consistently remained in stock and had a better library _in its first year_ than its competitors do NOW.
@@kaphizmey6229 saying PS5 and Xbox series X not exciting anyone, is a huge stretch, but I do agree that there libraries are way more limited than what anyone was expecting for its first year.
Yeah but ps5 exclusives are just starting to come out. If Xbox remakes 2 and 3 with online play, I’m getting an Xbox too. The dead space remake looks great. The resident evil 4 remake won’t be releasing on the switch. The cloud versions suck and don’t count those. Nintendo does have it on lock for older Nintendo games. They need to release the Pokémon games that came out for gbc and gba to put a huge dent in the retros that have all the older most popular game boy games. Nintendo needs to release more popular past titles rather than 75% mario games that didn’t age well.
Man game boy what a throw back
All I needed was Superstar Saga on the Switch and it actually came true. I’m so hyped
They can't even honor Reggie's legacy and save him from the Mother 3 badgering.... JUST GIVE US MOTHER 3!
This really makes me miss Virtual Console. I bought so much for wii and 3ds. I still have those games downloaded and on cart but knowing you only get those games while subscribed with no way to even download them, eg ps plus, it feels like a very poor substitute now.
But great for anyone where this is their only way of playing these classics.
Pirating Nintendo and Adobe products is always morally correct
Never had a Wii, Wii U, or 3DS. This is it for me. :D
@@ThomastheDankEngine8900 Not it's not, dumba**.
Once they bring Metroid Fusion to GBA Online, you’ll be able to play the entire Metroid saga (games 1-5) entirely on the Switch! I think that’s amazing.
Nah, once they add Zero Mission life will be good 😅 OG Metroid is pretty ass today (still the only one I've never beat... mainly cause Zero Mission exists)
@@MrRhysReviewsyeah, now there’s a fair chance that zero mission ends up on switch… though they could leave it off to avoid redundancy, which would be incredibly stupid of them
It's good to see. I don't regret getting an Analogue Pocket, though. I love that it can play carts, I love the features and the feel of it, the filters are great, and it doesn't have that stupid onscreen menu that Nintendo seems to think that we want. But these games were made to be played by the masses, and now they can be - at least some of them.
Mario advance 4 has like 34 all new stages in it! Imagine mario 3 with with turnips and a super cape. Thats what these new levels offer!
As a huge Zelda fan, Minish Cap being the first game I ever played (and owned) in the series is one of my absolute favorites, next to Majora's Mask (THE best game ever)
Wario Land 3 was my childhood. I never beat it but man did I spend a lot of time in that world when I was in elementary school. Same with the og Pokémon, DKC, Tarzan, and mickeys racing adventure
Only Wario Land games I had were Wario Land 2 and 4. Tarzan I had on N64. It was alright. I also had Mickey's Racing Adventure. That game is underrated. Me and my sister worked together on unlocking everything in that game.
I'm glad they are at least putting gameboy games on the system. People need to play both mario land games. Masterpieces
No super running in mario 3 and no turtle grabbing? What?
Glad to see these, and it does make me wonder whether DS will be added to NSO eventually. It would need a lot of work to function properly on the Switch though, given lack of a mic, so... who knows.
switch 2
We had official ds emulation on the wii u and it was mostly terrible lol. For some reason nintendo mainly brought over stylus heavy/bottom screen games like phantom hourglass or prime hunters and it was super awkward on the gamepad. The distance from the side of the controller is just to far to properly stylus.
Some top screen focused games are great on the tv/gamepad setup like crono trigger or pokemon diamond, or the kingdom hearts games, but like most ds games that would've made sense on the wii u they werent officially released, so you have to softmod the console to get those via rom injections
If we ever see it’ll be on the switch 2 or whatever and I believe nso will be brought over to the next gen
@@nintendohub64 that would be terrible
@@ThomastheDankEngine8900 why? Next gen is fairly soon
I'd guess and say that they'll probably release or at least announce some Pokémon game(s) for the Online-service with their Pokémon Direct that they have every year on Pokémon Day, feb 27th, (or maybe it was the 26th?). Pokémon always has their own thing when it comes to this. I could be wrong and maybe they'll add nothing for now, but yeah. I'd personally love to see the Gen 1 and 2 games on there.
propably gen 3 games since the gameboy games are still available on the 3ds shop… would love to see g/s/c on switch tho
@@Raque2 the 3DS shop closes really soon and the Wii and Wii U had virtual counsel at the same time so I doubt they care
Would hope R/B/Y/G/S/C would come out so that pokemon stadium 1 and 2 can use the "pack" to bring over ur own pokemon from the games
@@revolution91156 I've been thinking of that since the n64 online came out, but honestly I doubt Nintendo will bother with trying to find a way to do it
@Might Be A Nerd well it did say when they revealed pokemon stadium 1 and 2 was coming out on for NSO N64 that there wasn't going to be a "pack" for that but that's b4 they announced GB so who knows anything is possible
The main issue is that most of these games came as part of the ambassador program for 3DS virtual console which is kinda disappointing
AlphaDream (Mario & Luigi developers) wasn't shut down by Nintendo. They filed for bankruptcy, and closed down after making 2 Mario & Luigi remakes for 3DS in a row that sold poorly.
Kirby and the amazing mirror and the legend of Zelda four swords would have been great games to launch the service with to really show off the online functionality. Most people have never gotten to play them the way they where meant to be played since finding 4 people with the games Gameboys and link cables so having them with friends online would be a great way to show the service and excite pepole for it.
I was going to buy a GBA Friday!! Honestly I still might lol I just loved the sp so much and it's more portable. I would also love to collect game boy games.
Keep your eye out for fake game cartridges if you do, the GBA is one of the most pirated/cloned game systems out there.
@@JohnTKyeah, but as an owner of a modded gba i’d argue there’s still some merit to duplicate carts. now you don’t have to pay hundreds of dollars to play drill dozer lmao (…even though you might want to later for collection purposes)
WHAT!? My guy SLEPT on Wario Land 3? That was the only game that came to the switch GB emulator that I was excited about.
I was actually surprised they didn't put in any Pokemon games too. I feel like that's just a super guaranteed way to ensure free money for Nintendo lol I'm just hoping the add a Pokemon Hub or something. I like Nintendo overall, but I'm definitely just a Pokemon fan. The lack of real pokemon titles is why I haven't upgraded my Switch Online yet. Like I heard Stadium 1&2 were coming to the N64 but last I checked, they still aren't there. Anyway, hopefully on Pokemon day they announce a Pokemon specific service with Red-Fire Red, maybe Green too since the west never got it. Honestly, they could make so much more money ripping the Pokemon stuff from the N64 and GBA/C and putting it on a Pokemon only App.
You should turn on Classic Feel mode, it looks infinitely better.
There's a Shaman King game on gba. wonder if that was any good? I had one on PS2. It was like a strategy game mixed with fighting.
@@macuser7048 It's actually really good, like a pseudo megaman zero and metroidvania.
I think Pokémon Yellow is unlikely considering Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are remakes of that game. Pokémon will require extra care considering the trading and the expectation of bringing your Pokémon into the new games.
Edit: To be fair, Link's Awakening is here while the Switch already has a remake, but Pokémon even dragged their heels coming to the 3DS, and even then it was a slow trickle.
Pokemon red blue gold etc? Can be bring to pokemon home etc? Only 3ds versions thou
@@starman5901 I'm aware of this. They'd need to make sure that sort of thing works before they bring it to Switch. Also they need to possibly adjust some of the games considering stuff like Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Gold, Silver, and Crystal all have the real time clock element.
My jaw dropped when I saw they remastered Metroid Prime.
gba library is unbelivable, we will never have another massive list of top games for a single console like that
I loved playing WarioWare and Minish Cap today
Mario Kart Super Circuit may not have a purpose anymore, but when it released it was absolute fire. I remember my tween years, particularly the summer holidays in the Benidorm of those days... That was a great childhood. GBA, Golden Sun, Pokémon Silver and Mario Kart Super Circuit at Benidorm beach and visiting the arcades before dinner (with Simpsons Arcade, House of the Dead, Three Wonders and Radikal Bikers) were peak childhood and peak summer for a middle-class Spaniard kid back then. I envy no kids nowadays, they won't ever know what that was like.
It does have a purpose. It still has unique tracks. To me it's a direct sequel to the SNES Super Mario Kart. Same with F-Zero Maximum Velocity but GP Legend and Climax have more racers and more content.
You played the Simpsons arcade..... your last sentence is invaild
@@90sNath Why is it?
@Decatonkeil because Simpsons arcade came out much earlier then the other games. Meaning you literally just proved what you said at the end is incorrect. 90s gamers when that came out thought you would never know what that was like either.
@@90sNath Simpsons arcade never had a home port in the 90s.
This whole thing makes me sad because people still can't buy and own these games without going to resellers on ebay
Nintendo- “we are entitled to the consumer’s wallet forever”.
Nintendo doesn't solely own Pokémon, it's not just up to them if they're released. Link's Awakening can be released by Nintendo wherever, whenever.
Kuru kuru kururin is such a hidden gem. I couldn't believe it when I saw it announced. I only knew about it because of Ben Hanson.
Star X is a good gem of a GBA game. same with Iridion 3D and Iridion 2. All good shmups that showed GBA could handle 3D.
I’m happy they added GB stuff along with everything else, but man is it annoying not being able to buy the games outright. I owned the OG Paper Mario on my Wii U and I can’t even play my copy, let alone the game at all unless I pay for the more expensive online bundle; sure it’s not the worst thing in the world but it still sucks, wish I could buy them or just pay for the service.
Finally a Nintendo fan that has standards
I'm fine with playing them on a yearly service since you only have to pay once a year. But the tax on it is stupid. I got a gift card with 50 dollars on it and figured i could use it for the online plus expansion pass. Turns out it had 3 dollars tax and that wasn't on the card. O.O I have to now use a smaller amount on another gift card to get the money needed for the tax. Why can't I just use a 50 dollar Nintendo card for the 50 dollar service???????

I played Six Golden Coins for the first time, and it's such a strange experience. It's definitely a 2dario game, but they went wild with the gimmicks. Moon jumps on the moon, Jason Voorhees Goombas, a whole level in the crotch if the giant Mario mech based on balls. It's just like the strangest fan game I've eve played, but it's legit. I can't believe I missed this for so long
You have nothing to worry about with them adding these when you just got your Analogue Pocket. It will be like every other console they add to the service: The first drop is massive, the next drops are trickles, and eventually they just stop altogether except for that one time in a year where they decide to surprise drop a game no one has ever asked for.
I guarantee, you are good. They will not put more than 30 games on there, and a majority of the ones they drop later will just be nonsense. As opposed to the Analogue where you can have all the games you could dream of.
That's not true though.
Capcom also made the Zelda Oracle games on GBC Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. 2 separately Great games and they link together to get the true ending. Supposed to be added to the service later.
Check out the shining Force games franchise sometime. They are amazingly fun and a blast from the past. Originally on the Genesis but ported to the Gameboy.
The first one was ported. Resurrection of the Dark Dragon is Legacy of Great Intention. But Shining Soul 1 and 2 are completely original games. Also Resurrection of Dark Dragon is a remake done by Atlus since Camelot was working for Nintendo and not Sega at the time. Golden Sun to me is closer to the old Shining games but Atlus did a decent job. Fire Emblem games are similar to Shining Force too. GBA had so many good RPGs and strategy games. I mean heck it has a Tactics Ogre prequel even!
Im just hoping they will eventually add more and more to the other ones as well NES SNES N64 GBA GBC GB
I got into an argument with a girl who was dressed up as Tanooki Mario. She insisted the costume was called Raccoon Mario. 😂
You’re still better off with your analogue pocket, you know we can never rely on the amount/frequency of games they’ll add to this service!
Decent selection. I have a physical of super star saga in my analogue pocket right now. But it’s nice to have on switch.
Imagine if they put Pokémon emerald on there with the events for Mew Deoxys and Jirachi
Actual live events online! OuO
Might be time for you to dive in the Zelda series. Idk how you missed greatness back in day
If Nintendo wants to monetize vintage gaming they should at least make the entire library available to play.
Good video as usual, gotta wonder however if you’ll be covering some of the other games featured in the direct in the future aswell though, like samba de amigo, layton, ghost trick, etrian odyssey or baten kaitos
So we got Baten Kaitos 1 and 2, Tales of Symphonia, and Grandia 1 and 2 on Switch now. All we need now is Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, Skies of Arcadia Legends, and Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2. Fire Emblem Path of Radiance would be cool too.
@@macuser7048 I’d rather have a “Fire Emblem Radiant Collection” that includes the Wii one too, I also wouldn’t mind a hypothetical Paper Mario collection that includes both 64 and TTYD so there’s a way to actually own PM64 instead of renting it through switch online, but yeah, crossing my fingers for a skies of arcadia remaster
I am hoping they are waiting on adding the pokemon games for when they introduce Pokemon Stadium. Perhaps with the ability to transfer pokemon to Stadium and back.
Yep
Also, Capcom developed Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons before The Minish Cap.
Superstar Saga is wonderful funny and well worth your time. Minish Cap is fun too, on the short side (no pun intended) but what it has is top tier Zelda imo. Have fun!
They should just let you buy the individual games and download it to your system. Why am I paying a monthly service to rent these games? I'd be happy to pay if I could own the game. I'm going to keep on pirating these games and emulating them on my steam deck without reprucussions.
Seriously. What a turn off that you must be subscribed. Individual purchases would be a more consumer friendly option, but they are money hungry
Yup always morally correct to pirate Nintendo, since they went the Adobe route
I can’t wait for the Metroid video. My favorite game series hands down.
What I love about most of these gba games included is they’re all very “is that even a good idea?” And they’re all 9s and 10s. From Capcom making a Zelda, to a Mario rpg with lots of dialogue, and a wario mini game collection.
Also I agree about MK8 spoiling other cart racers. Unless you have nostalgia for a specific game, it’s hard to beat mk8. Glad they continued to add content and made it worth the money
Him walking and not running in Super Mario Bros 3 is getting on my nerves LOL.
Fun fact, Minish Cap is actually Capcoms 3rd Zelda game. They also made the Seasons and Time companion games.
Yeah Din, Nayru, and Farore are all cameos in Minish Cap
I've basically just been playing Tetris nonstop.
Been playing these on my switch for several years now! Love it!
I feel the same way about Mario Kart: Super Circuit. It's a fine enough game, and when I got it for my birthday way back when it came out, it was so fun to be able to play a Mario Kart game wherever I went (at this point I think 64 and the original game were the only ones out there. So it was a real novelty to be able to play it elsewhere.
But after Mario Kart DS, and then especially Mario Kart 7, that novelty was no longer there. And since they looked so much better, with real 3D environments and such, it took a lot of the specialness out of Super Circuit. For the time, it was wonderful. But nowadays it's more of a curiosity. And to be honest, I was never a big fan of the 2D environments of the SNES one, so I wasn't thrilled with these. So literally 90% of how you feel!
I'm sure the processing couldn't handle the environments and the racing at the time. But I do wonder what the game could have been like if it took the Iridion 3D route of graphics. Iridion 3D, by the way, still looks incredible today. I don't know what kind of magic they used, but wow... it's amazing. And despite some people finding it to be more of a novelty for its graphics than the gameplay (the opposite of Super Circuit...) , I actually really love the gameplay.
Me and my two other friends played this Kuru Kuru Kururin last night for like 50 rounds on the marathon mode for multiplayer. It was so mich fun for such a simple concept. I of course got last place, my friends were better than me by a mile. The first one was ahead of me consistently by 10 or so points. But the second friend, my god she absolutely gave us our asses on a silver platter. Im glad the gba emulator chose this game, I thought we would get bored of it but we were just laughing every round on how bad we were at not touching the walls.
Older millennial here. I was a Pokémon freak, and loved Mario games… the green pocket was an old friend. Great vid. Subbed.
You better play Mario 6 golden coins. That's one of the best Mario games ever
You skipped a huge hidden gem on gameboy. Wario Land 3 is nuts. In every way.
Tanooki. It's called the Tanooki suit.
Also, the GBA one has voice clips which aren't present in any other version.
Also its set up with bonus levels, which used to only bring obtainable via scanning cards with the E Reader accessory. Probably the best of the initial batch.
I love access to old games, I just despise having a yearly subscription to them.
Sucks knowing I have to buy the games again next year, then if Switch store ever goes offline, I all of a sudden no longer have access to these games
True, never got why people are excited for Adobe of old games
I still wish there was an option to just buy these games.
I’m thankful that Seth Green has decided to review video games
C'mon Reggie! Give us Mother 3!
I'm excited for LoZ Ages and Seasons, underrated and often forgotten.
Seems like later generations of gamers tend to ignore what came before. Like how GBA was ignored for the DS and GBC was ignored for GBA. lol Poor N64 and Gamecube had to suffer through an entire generation of kids that grew up on Wii and Wii U. They still talk trash on old games. Try asking any kid about Golden Sun and they have no idea what you're talking about and have no idea what made them so good. Crazy because they go on and on about how great Xenoblade Chronicles 1-3 are and yet they never touched the Xenosaga games. lol
This is why i have the entire north american library on a flash cart. Nintendo has no reason to have such a limited release
Rumour has it that the First 3 gens of Pokemon are coming to the e-shop on Pokemon Day later in Feb, as standalone purchases
