    Godzilla: Domination seriously looks like they remade the Neo-Geo game King of the Monsters but with an actual Godzilla license instead of a bunch of stand-ins. I approve.
    Also, whoever the insane genius is who got the task of "make a Lilo and Stitch" game and decided, "Metal Slug clone," that guy deserves the biggest raise... make him emperor of the world.

    Bruce Lee Return of the Legend was a really awesome game and underrated. I think any gamer who’s a fan of the legendary martial artist should own and play this game. It’s the best Bruce Lee game.

    BEFORE YOU PREORDER THE GOODBOY GALAXY PHYSICAL: There have been lengthy delays(months) for the physical game with limited updates from First Press Games. If the physical games do ship, it will most likely take months to years. Just be sure to keep that in mind.

    Me and my brother joke whenever we find a game on a console like GBA that we've never heard of (a system we've spent hours scrolling through the list of games for looking for new stuff to download) that it's a "brand new release" because it seems almost impossible to find stuff I haven't heard of before. Somehow TVGS always finds great looking games I've never heard of for GBA every time he makes a video on it. I'm genuinely starting to believe he changes reality to generate new games every time he makes a video. I mean just look at Bruce Lee game, I love Bruce Lee, how have I never heard of or seen that game?

    I snatched Goodboy Galaxy on a whim this year, because the prospect of a GBA game coming out in 2024 was mesmerizing. I can confidently say that it is in my top 3 games of the year, without a shadow of a doubt. Came in blind, expecting a charming but simple platformer, but what I got instead was a brilliant puzzle-platformer with top-notch level design, really smart mechanics, devious secrets, wonderful visuals and a banging soundtrack. Could not put it down until 100% completion. If you need a comparison, it reminded me most of Wario Land 3's more open-ended approach to level design, but taken to the next level thanks to the extra power of the GBA, and 20+ years of hindsight.
    This is a must for every GBA fan. You can get the ROM (comes with an emulator and standalone, but also included the .CIA, in case you want to play it on your 3ds, like I did), but a Steam version is also coming out sometime later this year.
    Anyway, brilliant video, as always! Bruce lee's game looks quite up my alley!
    EDIT: You got me at Lilo & Stitch x Metal Slug

      good boy and a good game, nothing more, nothing less. bored me seriously after prison break area, many good ideas but among all that, many flaws like enemy variety or looping areas, a lot of needles backtracking only to exchange some items with NPC's... that game is overrated IMO

    For some reason I remember a lot of GBA/DS licensed games being actually very solid titles. DBZ, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Hamtaro were some of my highlights.
    I absolutely love how Mode 7 was utilized in almost every GBA game because every developer wanted to show off those graphics :D

      Another one that was shockingly good was Astro Boy: The Omega Factor. Several people I know passed on it just because they didn't know much about Astro Boy and a little robot who runs around in his underwear didn't seem that appealing. Then it turns out to have not only butt-kicking gameplay (its kinda like Gunstar Heroes with brawler elements) but also has an actually good story? Yeah, underrated.

    I've since watched quite a few of your videos and seen you in front of the camera. Seems quite clear you're speaking your own thoughts. Thanks for your effort. I appreciate how you don't shy away from using words with negative connotations to criticize games. Too many people oversell the game quality. I am confident that your videos give me a strong sense of a game. Added dozens to my list thanks to you. Even 3 car based games which is a genre I avoid completely outside of 3D GTAs.

    3:17 I think Return of the Legend got more in common with Datasoft's classic Bruce Lee, released for various computers in the 1980s. Of course it was simpler, but there was platforming, collecting items (lanterns) to open up new paths, fighting opponents (a ninja and a green sumo wrestler).

    I love the improvements Buu's Fury brought, only problem is it's way too easy. Also I personally don't like having to allocate stat points yourself. It means I have to pause the gameplay to THINK about where I want the points, as opposed to Legacy of Goku II where the points were dealt for you and you could just resume gameplay.
