Good timing lol I've been replaying game boy zelda games on the 3DS after discovering that game boy and game boy color games can be played in 3D on 3DS consoles by simultaneously pressing both the select button and the A button and holding them until the Nintendo 3DS logo dissappears upon initial load. Have fun y'all!
I forgot how cool the 3ds was. Honestly even the form factor is goated.
For real?
I didn't know if this was a thing in 3DS. I'm gonna try it.
EDIT: It totally works!
More reason for me to continue Link Awakening DX. I've not playing that game for months.
@@firzaprama7 Not only it works, but the on-screen game boy changes depending if you're playing a GBC or DMG GB game! And the 3D effect adds the space between the screen and the glass. It's such a cool detail.
@@batmabel yeah, I already know about onscreen gameboy thing, but not the 3d effect that is also working.
One of my favorite things was how you kept the title of the game on the screen the entire time and you got rid of it. 😢
It's cause he knows we just click through to see the names of the games which reduces the watch hours he gets. Same reason he doesn't utilize chapters or really put any useful info about the video's content in the description
Agreed. That should be a staple.
I miss the banners that had the game titles in the corner
I remember saving up my money for Power Quest and in secret when I was supposed to be at the Reston Library doing research for some project I couldn't care less about for school, I ran over to the Best Buy a block away and bought it, ran like hell back to the library with the game tucked away in my cargo pocket and was picked up by my father a couple hours later at predetermined time
That was agony waiting till I got home to play it, but man it was so worth it. I know Pokemon was a global force by then, but the concept of a fighter-RPG that had a dedicated PvP mode...that was brilliant
There are two Tomb Raider games on GBC and both are Masterpieces BTW.
I just found Azure Dreams the other day at a garage sale for $2. I had never heard of the game until then. I absolutely love it
That's a great find for that price!
Wahey, Power Quest made it in! Genuinely great little fighter that even the most hardcore fighting game fans can enjpy. Best thing about the game is it's Super Gameboy compatible and supports multiple controllers.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos and discover games that I never heard of!
Glad you found something new!
aw hell yeah maplestory outro goes HARD
too true brother. all the feels.
i would play the 1st game you showcased and the shooting demon game. Thanks for the vid!
Whoa, there was a Beast Wars game for the GBC?! How did I miss that?? Definitely nabbing that to play, as it looks like a solid fighter for the GBC. Also, glad to see Power Quest getting a shoutout. Such a unique, underrated game! The GBC was always one of my favorite consoles, and learning about more games for it is a treat. Another excellent video here man!
It's a really good fighter man! Well worth tracking down =) Glad you found some new games you haven't heard of man, keep up the great work with your channel mate!
oh wow! Thx for letting me know about Star Ocean: Blue Sphere!
nvr knew there was a sequel to 2nd Story and will definitely be playing it after the remake! :-D
Oh man I loved Blaster Master on the NES and had no idea there was a GBC port. I would have ate that up.
Not a port, something in between of a remix and a new game. You should really give it a try.
Finally someone else said that Quest 64 wasn't as bad as everyone says sure its not final fantasy but it is charming in terms of atmoshpere.
to be fair I'm pretty sure TVGS likes literally every single game that exists. I don't think I've seen him give a single negative critique about a game lol
How have you played so many games that you give such amazing suggestions? It's impressive
Two of my favorite GBC games that no one talks about are:
Daiku no Gen-san: Kachikachi no Tonkachi ga Kachi (Carpenter Gen)
and then
Samurai Kid
Both are awesome puzzle platformers.
Going to have to give these ones a go!
Huge fan keep up the work
Cheers!
I fancy myself a GB/GBC enthusiast, and how haven’t I heard of most of these!? BRB gonna go play Azure Dreams!
I'm glad the video showcased some games you've never heard of, hope you enjoy them!
A Gameboy Color was the only gift an ex got me in our 6 years together. I have no games for it. There were a few games I grew up with that no longer have, but dont really know where to go from there.
Ebay.
Wario Land 3 is an absolute must. Incredible puzzle platformer.
Check out ezflash flash carts. I think they have one for gbc
Buy an everdrive and start rom hunting
Wendy Every Witch Way is also one of very few GB games that make use of the GBA for extra processing power (somehow, dunno, look it up), so there's an additional part of the game that can only be played on a GBA. Nice to know that the developers wanted to go the extra mile by adding something like this.
I know its not colour but the Japanese exclusive gameboy roguelike game "Cave Noire" is a true unappreciated masterpiece that really hould have been released world wide and celebrated back in the day.
Haven't heard of that one. I'll have to check it out!
Great with some GameBoy Color love! I jumped directly from GB to GBA, but it definitely had some gems. My personal recommendation (as a huge Tintin fan), is Tintin in Tibet. It's a great platformer with a lot of variety in its gameplay and a fantastic chiptune soundtrack.
Thanks for the tips!
Wow, I've never before seen anyone mention Azure Dreams for the Gameboy. Sure, it lacks some of the "charm" of the PS1 version, but with so many more levels and loads more potential hours of game play in one playthrough, it really is a monstrous adventure.
I didn't notice any mention of it, but Wendy: Every Witch Way has GBA-exclusive levels. It's been a while since I've played it, but you should be able to unlock that extra content by playing it in a GBA emulator, or even meddling with the settings of a GBC emulator.
TVGS and GBC time
The single greatest channel for filling up emulators
Power Quest is goated
holy crap i found the only other person who played quest on the gbc. i loved it.
Had a lot of fun playing through it!
Yay🎉 It’s that time of the week!
Enjoy!
Power quest sounds a lot like Custom Robo Arena on the DS, with the rpg elements supporting a fighting robot
Great video!
I can’t for the life of me place the song that’s playing over the Star Ocean footage. Is it from one of the GBA Fire Emblems?
edit: Found it! Truth, Fear and Hope from FE: The Sacred Stones
Amazing vid as always, thanks
My pleasure!
DAMN that intro is nostalgic as fuck, nice choice of Maplestory BGM ! that was my childhood
Love you bro. This channel is so special.
Means more than you know man, thank you.
Megaman 8 music in the background. 😎
Love me some Power Quest. Game is hard as hell, though.
I've been nabbing all sorts of Game Boy Color underrated gems lately. I've got stuff that people never even heard of! :D
Quest looks interesting...
Finally someone talks about power quest, love how fast can be even hardware limitation.
Another underated games are V-Rally, wacky racer, penny racer... I don't know how underrated Survival Kids is, but you must to check it out.
YES! POWER QUEST! Such a fun little fighter\RPG hybrid. It's a haaaaard game, but godDDAMN I loved it! It's a fighting game with robots, and with fights you win, you can buy parts to enhance your bots
Couldn't agree more!
Thanks for the awesome videos TVGS
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the heads up for Star Ocean's ENG patch. That one took a while.
No worries!
The Megaman & Bass Soundtrack has so many tunes.
So many bangers!
Nice, you put Wendy every witch way onto my radar now I have to try it at some point.
Hope you enjoy it when you do!
I gotta buy me a game boy color good thing I know where to buy one
Where?
@SpartanSpear1 third party game 🎮 stores and ebay and Amazon r u game is one and another is M&M
I would add Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, it was one of my favorite rpg's when i was a kid
I though they would mention bomberman quest because it’s in the thumbnail 😢
Thank you! I was scouring the footage trying to find it after seeing the Link's Awakening looking building in the thumbnail.
I had a modded DS and I hope these games are there for the GBC titles installed 🧐
Great Stuff, as always!
Cheers Mekman!
that Wendy game looks like the lovechild of VVVVVV and Keio Flying Squadron 2, definitely checking it out later
Have fun!
wendy's gravity flip mechanic was inspired by the NES game metal storm. I haven't played it but it seems to also be considered a hidden gem, so you should check that out too
When is good games stuck on ds part 2 coming?
Very soon!
The best and the most criminally underrated game is Samurai Kid. There ia eng translation, but even without it, the game is one of the bes not just for GBC but overall as a game no matter the console.
this video was p nice!
haven't seen many of these (:
Glad you enjoyed!
Another great video.
Thank you!
I own a English Repro cart of Magical Chase GB irl! I find it unfair that the ending & staff roll is locked behind the hard difficulty
I loved "getting good" with Mr. Driller, but I do regret the developer's decision not to include a save battery because all of your progress and accumulated points are deleted as soon as you turn off the console.
Oh well, it's still a hidden gem.
OMG I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A GBC STAR OCEAN GAME!!! AND THERE IS AN ENGLISH PATCH TOO???!!!!! IM IN HEAVEN!!
Looks like I'm not the only one having graphical issues with Star Ocean.
I love these vids
love your videos but can you start adding chapters?
Hey in case ya do see this comment a good gameboy game that i highly recommend is Metal Walker. It is a turnbased rpg pinball collectithon game made by capcom. I knoe the combo of genras msy sound wierd but i played it more then pokemon blue at the time
Why aren’t the game titles labeled on the top corner like all the other videos?
Wendy Every Which Way looks great! It’s like a cutesy Metal Storm! Is it based on Wendy from Casper?
Yes, it is!
If u play this on ur gba it forces it to play in “GBA Mode”. which unlocks a new mode called “Advance World” and it includes 3 levels exclusive to GBA. u can also use a romhack if ur emulating to get to play it in GBA Mode!
Any chance you could start time stamping your videos? Scrolling through for a forgotten game title can be a pain when the name isnt on the screen for long.
What the heck is Power Quest? Game looks like it would've been amazing to play back then
why did you get rid of the banners with the game name in the top right?
Holy crappy! Magical Chase looks like a Genesis game! Thank you for acknowledging that the GBC is a separate system from the GB. Too many people (including Nintendo) lump them together. The GBC wasn’t just a minor upgrade.
Where name of game in corner?
There's a part 2 on the way? Hopefully Wario Land 3 is in it somewhere. Probably the most unique metroidvania ever made where you can't die. Made a video about it on my channel too.
I think Wario Land 3 is pretty highly rated and liked isn’t it?
@@stubbwinkley4015 Not from what I've heard. Hardly hear anyone talk about it, and even then often in passing when talking about 4.
wario land 3 is one of the most well-known and beloved games on the GBC, so it wouldn't really fit on this list. maybe underrated in terms of the wario series, but not in terms of GBC games.
I'm stuck in a room in the final dungeon of the legend of zelda. Top left. The doors will not open and there's no enemies. Wtf
I mean no more enemies. Could one have dropped a key and I accidentally destroyed it or something?
I don't know man, you have some good arguments but I really don't think this will hold in a criminal court.
Fan of game sack I see.
If someone knows what that intro music is please tell me
No the banners are gone😢
Man, this channel needs timestamps badly. This should be the standard for content like this.
Gameboy has better sounds than Gba 😅😅
Daikatana
Grandia Parallel Trippers
Crystalis
Alone in the dark The New Nightmare
Game Boy Wars 3
Harry Potter games
Samurai Kid
I’ll have to check these out! Thanks for the tip 🙂
Crystalis was originally for nes and then gbc. Owned the gbc version when I was a kid, wish they made a remake on 3ds, or now on the switch. Great game, it's very basic compared to today's standards but it was an enjoyable hack n slash title.
Honestly, the GBC version of Crystalis changed the music from the original NES, and it was a turnoff for me. (The OG was my introduction to the RPG genre)
@@GeovaneSanciniSRyeah I heard the music got changed, I played the nes version on an emulator. I'll have to compare the differences sometime. Really nostalgic game for me👀
Emulation‽ I thought you as a video game collector would be against that!
Edit: I'm not against it, in fact, that's how I play most games. It's just that I've seen video game collectors on RUclips/Reddit always imply eek emulation or if you emulate it you didn't play the game and that's just stupid
There is nothing wrong in emulation, not everyone can access this gems in their original format and that doesn’t mean they should miss them.
why would anyone in their right mind be against emulation.... u can literally emulate every single handheld now just on ur phone using emulators and u can even use shaders to make it look just like the original.
I think emulation is a vital part of gaming culture as a whole. Many games never get the chance to be widely available or are far out of people’s price range. As a result emulation is the only option for many people to experience them and the more people that can play games, I’m all for it.
Being against emulation for 20-year-old games is legitimate gatekeeping, even if you picked up copies off eBay none of the cash traded would get back to the original developers.
❤❤❤❤❤
Hire a narrator or a speech therapist. This is painful to listen to.
Overrated*
The games in this video are overrated? Most people probably don’t know most of these event exist. How are they overrated?
@@stubbwinkley4015 everyone liked it (including me), and it sells well.
@@GiovanniKody100 Which game are you talking about?
@@GiovanniKody100 I've literally never heard of most of these games. also, if you liked them, how the heck are they overrated?
I'm sorry but Beast Wars as a show was trash.
You're entitled to be as wrong as you like.
One game i wish i could rmeber. Some dude gave it to me in school had no label it was a clear gameboy color game like u could see the inside just label was torn off. Anyways all i can remember was it was kinda like Pokémon but i think u climed a tower it was SOOOO FUKING GOOOD i wish i could remember the name.
I love these videos, i've watched dozens of them, but PLEASE begin labeling your videos with clear identifying markers so that we know if something is new or different, like Good games on gameboy #12, Underrated GBA games (Platformers #04), there have been lots of times i've ignored videos because i thought i already watched them, or didnt know if i had watched it, your videos get very confusing! other than that keep it up lol
I pray they all make it NSO.
