This was such a fun, little system. The perfect bridge between modern 3D games and old-school, sprite-based games. I miss this era so much.
I would argue that was the DS but yeah
that was the ds not the gba kid
@@ramrodbldm9876 ''kid'' lmao sit down, kid. No need to be this condescending.
Glad you mentioned Astro Boy....I was the lead tester on the US/UK versions. Gotta say it was the best title I ever worked on.
Dude. It's so killer!
You got to do some more gba mods MJR, macho nacho puts some great mods on there. If I was better at modding I would do them 😅
Brilliant little game I remember it very fondly...one of Treasures best 👍
Love the astro boy
You are the one to ask. Who makes a robot in the design of a boy in his underwear?
Huh?
one of my favorite things about you is that you ALWAYS give metroid the respect it deserves
I also love the GBA. Here's some recommendations that may be off radar: Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure, The Incredibles, Jackie Chan Adventures: Legend of The Dark Hand, Samurai Jack: The Amulet of Time, Shonen Jump's Shaman King: Master of Spirits 1 and 2, Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 1 and 2, Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 1 and 2, Ultimate Spider-Man, Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files - Tournament Tactics, Godzilla: Domination!, King Kong, Mazes of Fate, Onimusha Tactics, Shonen Jump's One Piece, Teen Titans.
Shaman King Master of Spirits 1 + 2 are games I never stumble upon ever, which is surprising since it is kind of based on Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, running on its engine and being developed by some of the same team. A gem for sure.
its a year later but i wanted you to know you listed some absolute bangers for me. thank you so much!
Yes, it's the nature of the shrink wrap to shrink. It will do it naturally over time. The same thing happens with records. Keeping something sealed is a great way to destroy the thing you're trying to protect.
thin cardboard being weak is more so the issue
Awesome collection dude. What a system. I had hundreds of hours in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and I would only play in class on high school LOL
the US education system failed you
Seriously man gba was games was ahead of its time u know most of the pixel style android and ios games are inspirations of gba games.
the game has sooo many things you can do, all the mission +rewards, the classes!!! the abilities!!! oh man once you get double sword ability(by maxing ultima weapon ninja) you just change to another class to mix things up :')
The GBA SP was the first console/handheld I ever owned. Great memories
"House of the Dead in pinball form." Has the same vibe as "Alf is back in pog form."
Turok: Evolution on the GBA was an absolute blast! One of the best GBA games ever and definitely one of the best Contra clones,I highly recommend it.
That's a fact 👍✌
I always wanted to play Car Battler Joe. Our family weren't that well off so getting games was a special treat and by time I had my own money GBA game prices skyrocketed. Love this video, dude. GBA will always have a special place in my heart.
it's really fun. I played it on an emulator back in the day
Glad I bought most of the GBA games I wanted CIB years ago - the prices are insane now. I sold a bunch of the so-so titles in my collection, as it became hard to hold on to them for the price. Still my all-time favourite system though.
I got most of mine like 5 years ago as well. I pick up a few here and there... but those prices today are insane.
I don’t know but if it under $60 it’s affordable
@@KaedeAnimation try a couple hundred for most of the better games
So glad I still have my childhood copy of Advance Wars, as well as a bunch of SNES classics that are big $$ now like chrono trigger, dragonview, etc.
This has become my favorite channel for video games. It's interesting and relaxing to watch.
Wow, thanks!
Amazing dude. Seeing the game boy advance always puts me in a good mood. I think I’d choose those over the psp as my favorite portable system of all time.
Same but it's close those two are great in their own way.
Great collection! Love the different storage boxes too!
loved this video its the video I've been searching for on your channel for some time now! you finally posted the gba collection!
Games are meant to be played. I’d open those up in a heartbeat.
I absolutely adore the GBA. It may be underpowered, but to me it’s perfect.
Yeah but when you start seeing Gameboy games going for 150-300 then you're like "screw it, I'll just use a flash card!"
Hell, a Barbie game sold for thousands i think.
@@ens0246 It’s true that some of them go for absurdly high prices. I can’t say I’d blame anyone for keeping their games sealed, it’s just not the way I prefer to have my games.
I've barely touched any GBA beyond Pokemon.
It's a console that I've been meaning on exploring further. there's a LOT of stuff for this thing
The library is huge and has tons of excellent titles, I thought I knew all the highly-regarded GBA games until I recently started looking into hidden gem lists and finding dozens I had never heard of.
@@cowgba That's how I felt about PS1! I grew up on the thing so I figured I knew all it had to offer and I was VERY wrong. That thing still surprises me often.
Love watching your channel Metal Jesus!
Man you were sending me on a nostalgia trip here! Grew up with a gba and you hit the nail on the head with how impressive the variety of games on it are.
Hell yeah! Love Ed the is video literally paused my show to listen to what you had to say on some of the games. Great collection!
MJR with another 🔥🔥🔥 collection video 🤘 Could watch these on repeat without getting tired of them‼️
Man, I had so much good memories with the GBA and the original DS. I still remember going to Circuit City (no longer exist) around night time sometime in the winter to buy the fat DS. So many good games to play. I'd like to revisit these 2 systems later since I know I missed out on many gems out there
I love GBA and I love your collection! Thank you for make this videos and spot light in some undiscovered gems to me! I wish you could make more videos about GBA because they're soooo interesting
Ok I didn’t even think to try some of these games tell you and Reggie said something about some of these games thank you gave me hours of entertainment plus got to watch koo videos in between love the videos I always watch them keep making them and I will keep watching them
Your channel is awesome - keep doing what you’re doing!
I love watching your videos because I always find one obscure game I once played in my old pentium pc decades ago.
DK Country and Zelda Minish Cap were the best for me. Thanks for the content!
The tiny boxes are GORGEOUS. Love it
Dude i was just searching for some new games to play on my gameboy advance. You are a life saver lol !
Thank you man! I am getting back into GBA. Recently picked up a GBA Micro with some games. I have all of the Golden Sun games now. I love the GBA. I always play on the OG hardware. Love it!
Glad I could help!
@@MetalJesusRocks this video is awesome!!!
Jurassic Park 3 Island Attack for GBA still gives me PTSD for how hard it was. One thing I liked about the GBA was those carts that had shows/movies on them like SpongeBob or Shrek.
Love this. Been hammering my GBA lately. Max Payne might be my favorite. I love cool attempts at bringing something to the portable consoles, having some fun with it. This game is al that and more. Voice acting, good mechanics using the GBAs strengths, and it follows the originally story (less the dream halls) almost perfectly. Very immersive. Great topic again, MJR.
*original
Love the GBA platform. I used to work at a game store a while ago when the 3DS was in its prime. We had a trade come through where the owner was trying to trade in some GBA games. Unfortunately we didn't take GBA at the time, so the owner just left them behind because they had no desire to take them back with them. It was store policy to trash games we couldn't take as trade-in, which my supervisor did. I dug them out of the trash bin because one of the titles was Metroid: Zero Mission, I couldn't stand to see that game be thrown in the trash. I begged my store manager to let me at least keep Metroid, they caved in and let me take it home. It will forever be cherished in my collection as being saved from the trash.
Excellent story thank you for sharing this with us.
Not a lot of shoot ’em ups for sure, but two more I would recommend are:
1) Gradius Galaxies (or Gradius Advance, or Gradius Generation, each region has a different name) is a good entry in the series, and possibly one of the, if not the best shooter of the system;
2) Invader is a pretty good shmup too, which would really benefit from a turbo fire function though (I hope the Analogue Pocket will support that in the future). I remember it being mentioned by Reggie. I think it may be exclusive to Europe?
Gunstar Super Heroes as well.
Awesome collection man. Loving those small box cases too!. I don't collect for this system but your collection rocks!.
Amazing video, I cant imageine how long this must have taken to edit. Some great titles you have here.
Siii
The whole sonic advance series is great! Great video man and I had never heard of that astro boy game, I can't wait to try it out
20:45 The Hamtaro games are also so very good and a lot of people will just let those pass.
The GBC one is one of the best games on the system but HamHam Heartbreak (on screen) is very good as well!
We like sunflower seeds crum crum crum
Whats the title of the gbc version you speak of? I'd love to try it if you say it's the best hamtaro game.
@@IndohNintendo it's Ham Hams unite.
The sprites and the graphics look almost as clean as the GBA games, but with a hardware that's way more limited!
@@overlordalfredo Thanks I'll be sure to check it out!
@@IndohNintendo just FYI would have been quicker to just Google it though ;D
Nice collection Jason!
I really like the mini boxes they look so clean
Metal Jesus is making me want to start buy & collecting for the GBA now. Great video.
I also wish there were more shmups, but check out R Type III, Gradius Galaxies and Phalanx
You know its a good day when its a MJR video that is out.
Yes I’ve been waiting for this! I’m just collecting.
I’m very surprised you didn’t mention Sonic advance series, not only they were very well received but also they have a solid cult following, especially when you consider the transition period SEGA was going through during their release
Yeeeeeee ! Always pumped on a new video !!!!
Great video as always dude! I love the modern game videos you make, but admittedly the NES, GBA and older system videos are the ones I keep coming back to day after day lol. You probably know this already, but in case you don't, Minish Cap was actually developed by Capcom! I thought that was really neat, & unsurprising how good the game is. Capcom are fantastic. Also Drilldozer is a 10/10 experience. So fun! :D
Thank you so much for sharing your video, it was wonderful!
Awesome collection mate.
Great collection!!!
awesome video, I love overviews like this! I've gotta go dig out my GBA carts, they don't get much love, hidden away.
I will look into getting some of those printed mini-boxes, they look perfect :-)
Karnaaj Racing, Zelda: A LttP, and the 2 Golden Sun games were my favorite. I was so excited for the GBA SP release that I imported it from Japan to get it a month before the US release. Made a mint on ebay when I finally decided to part with it. Had a GBA SP, Micro, Player, and around 21 games.
I love the GBA, even though I'm not actively collecting for it at the moment. But I think my favorite feature is its ability to play the ENTIRE GameBoy library, going back to the original. It certainly makes playing Metroid 2 a lot more fun!
Recently I've begun to wonder why Nintendo never made a new 2D Mario platformer for the GBA. They only ported the All-Star versions of 2, 3, and World, and 1 was the NES Classic version. It's kind of weird, no?
I guess they were focusing most of their resources on the gamecube as it desperately needed their full support, while the gba had all the third parties on its side and basically no competition (wonderswan in Japan was on its last legs and neo geo pocket color was done for too). Also, at that time most developers were still on "3D fever", wherein 2d titles were considered somewhat lesser title compared to full 3d poligon heavy titles.
That is odd, it's the only one they skipped a 2D Mario for except N64 obviously (NGC had Super Paper Mario but shifted development to Wii, sorta counts).
It does stink, but on the other hand what we did get is a sequel to a top 5 original Game Boy game, Donkey Kong, and the birth of a new phenomenal Mario series with Superstar Saga. It's really odd that I don't hear Mario vs. Donkey Kong talked about much, it really was as fantastic of a game as the last one.
Warioland 4 is a masterpiece. Close enough.
If NSMB is anything to go by, it's a blessing
Love the GBA. Awesome collection. I got one at launch and used to take it to school. Tony Hawk 2 was a launch game and was really impressive on that hardware.
Very cool - some nostatlgic GBA carts here!
As I’m watching this video getting ready for work, I wanted to tell you that this channel just gives me a feeling of comfort and nostalgia. I don’t know if you have many viewers that watch like I do, not every single week, but consistently coming back to this channel when they need a feeling of comfort. Keep rockin, metal Jesus!!!!
Great collection 👌👌
AWESOME VIDEO MJR
Love your videos. Racing Gears Advanced is my favorite racing game on the GBA.
This is my first 5 seconds on this channel and immediately congrats on that collection, build a bullet and fire proof house for this ❤
I haven't been to your channel in awhile so I thought I'd stop by and drop a like. Have a great day! FJB
You've got a great collection. I'd like to collect for the GBA someday.
I had a bad day, but just saw a new thumbnail of Metal Jesus and I feel so much better now.
What perfect timing, I'll be expanding my Game Boy collection at VRGE in a month in anticipation of my Analogue Pocket so this has inspired me to add a few games to the list. You should come with John to VRGE!
great video as always... some games I personally fell in love with outside the many you flagged are :
The Hobbit ( a great action rpg light)
Jazz Jack Rabbit (fun run n gun platformer)
Sabre Wulf a Rare puzzle classic and
Racing Gears Advance, nice racing game.
Wonderful collection good sir.
I love collecting for GBA and also have a fondness for the racers! Especially those 3D ones. I’m now a proud owner of Collin McRae, v rally and top gear rally. Great examples of parallel evolution Me thinks!
6:22 Out of This World downhill WTF. Great vid.
Great collection, the Gba is my favorite console ever
Awesome collection! For shmups, I would suggest gradius galaxies, r-type 3 and sigma star saga. Definitely an under-represented genre.
Awesome GBA collection Metal Jesus.
20:55 Sims Bustin' Out, my childhood game, thank you for giving it some love 😇
Only one F-Zero game?! There's two more for the GBA and they kept getting better each time!
I really need to get these sorts of boxes for my game boy advance games! What a wonderful collection, and a blast to the past!
Nice GBA collection man by the way nice video man 😎.
You the man, Metal Jesus ✊🏾🔥🔥🔥
Awesome video!!
I have Castlevania Double pack and Circle of the Moon. All three of those games are like the best thing that happened to that console. Aria of Sorrow especially was so good.
so glad to see you mention mother 3, one of the best games I've ever had the pleasure of playing thru
Rhythm Tengoku (JP) and Wario Ware are amazing . Great vid as always nice to see Spongebob GBA make a cameo. Your top 10 lists have helped so many people add valuable games to their collection before the prices spiked
Nice collection & video! Had a GBA a few years ago that was stolen from home with about 20 games. Went looking for it a week later & realized they’d taken it too!
Great video, Rebelstar and Stunt Track Challenge are some deep cuts. Rebelstar is a reboot of a game of the same name for the ZX Spectrum btw. If you're looking for shoot 'em ups maybe try Invader, it's a vertical scroller
Great video! I really enjoy my GBA and like to play GB and GBC games on it too.
I love the GBA, got my first one in high school. Lately, I've been trying to add some more lesser known titles to my own collection. Just ordered Klonoa and Lady Sia. Wish to get a micro so that I can properly play Drill Dozer. Awesome video!
I grew up with Nintendo, super Nintendo, playstation1&2&3. still trying to collect games and systems.you always do a great job.started with Nintendo shows Jesus does rock.
Final Fantasy Tactics still gives me the feels just from watching footage. Masterpiece
Nothing but love for those crunchy GBA sprites! Currently playing Advance Wars romhacks while waiting for the remake.
I dont play any games you do, we have a very diverse taste in games BUT i love that!!! Because you make me want to play them all. I feel like i could sit through hours and hours of your content and not get bored at all.
There’s nothing quite like waking up to a new Metal Jesus video! 🎉
not even waking up to a warm, big bosomed woman?
Nice collection
You jumped right into it! AWESOME! 🎮✅
Edit: I love the mini 📦's!
Yeah, MiniBoxGaming does amazing work!
Man I’d love to go video game hunting with you dude you seem to go to the coolest places
Another movie tie-in game that you should really check out is Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Mans Chest. 80% of the game is a side scrolling platformer (and an amazing one; theres real multi input combos that are super satisfying) and the other 20% is an isometric sailing part where you have to engage other ships in battle. Theres some collectibles and a REALLY diverse group of enemies.
Worth the $5-$10 IMO
I love the GBA! The original was and is my favorite (with my big hands it was excellent 😂) but the SP with the backlit screen was a better experience. Years later I replaced the screen in my original GBA voor one with backlight, best of both worlds now 🤩 Thanks for the vid @MetalJesus, you Rock 🤘🏻
Great collection!! I am working on getting mine to a good place!
I love Final Fantasy Tactics as well!! This game is the MAIN reason I had to get a Gameboy Player, as I fully drained my SP battery daily from playing this game so much!!
One game I loved that I didnt see was Zoids legacy, had so much fun with that, also I lovedhow Mario and Luigi Superstar saga has rumble for when its plugged into the gamecube, I wish more games took advantage of that feature. Ohh also I think Pirates of the Caribbean dead mans chest had a castelevania like gameplay style so definitely check that out too, it was really fun especially with the boat combat!
I loved my original skeleton blue GBA. I lent it to my son (who was 8 at the time) and he lost it in a plane going to Florida. I was so bummed. But when the DS Lite came out, all was right in the world as my GBA collection only had to wait 2 months to be revived. Many fantastic games for GBA. One that I recently discovered is Frogger’s Adventure. I couldn’t believe how fun that game is. Great vid, MJR.
My all time favorite GBA game is Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories...I played it as a kid at a friends house since I didn't own a GBA back then but was in love with the series and had I & II on the PS2. 2 years ago I picked up a GBA, modded it and bought the game and it is as amazing as it was back in the day.
hi metal Jesus I love the videos
Very well made video 👍
