That gold GBA New York edition was purchased YEARS ago before collecting got hot and expensive. It was in a junk bucket at a garage sale without a back and I couldn't even test if it worked at the time. Everything at the garage sale was $5 or less. Years ago, it was common to find all sorts of gaming stuff CHEAP at garage sales & pawn shops....
@@wistful3631 to not appear to have taken advantage of a little girl....which is kind of frowned upon. this coming from someone who likes this guy btw. this just wasn't a good move. learn and move on.
@@turanx0 What does being a fanboy have to do with anything in this context? I literally said they were bad with story and this is literally the only video i've seen of this youtuber.
Reggie’s story takes me back to my GBA experience. My big brother joined the army around that time in the early 2000s and got me the og GBA for doing good in school. He got one for himself too and whenever he’d come home he’d bring his old games for me and my other siblings.
does anyone remember final fantasy tactics, I would say that everyone that liked advance wars and final fantasy should pick up that game I can almost guarantee that you will sink a 100 plus hours into that game.
Amazing game, music was amazing, great gameplay. I only had 1 gripe with it and it was when you didn't have room for Mission Key Items and you'd be stuck until you came across the mission that'll give you the item again.
I only didn't like FFT Advance because I played the PS1 original which was one of my favorite games for a long time. So it's still a good game, I'm just always going to compare it to the (superior) game.

Metroid Zero Mission was the first metroid game I played and it was amazing for a GBA game. I need to go back and play Metroid Fusion on my GBA. Really enjoyed this video, I'll be sure to get some of these games!
No worries mate anytime! I think you should do some 2 player lets plays of your favorite games! Would be great to hear your thoughts whilst your both playing it real time! Either way your both really cool guys keep up the great work!
I recommend you get a DS Lite if you are short on time and money It is guaranteed to have a backlight and can play GBA and DS games It also has a better battery and better shoulder buttons. I just got mine in a good condition off of EBAY for 17$ (shipping included)
The reason why you don’t like Pokémon is bc you both played the most basic gen in terms of story, designs, pretty much everything. Idc what people say about gen 1 honestly if it wasn’t the first one everyone would think it wasn’t that good, you guys have to play emerald or gold, silver, or crystal, for gba at least. Otherwise I recommend gen 5 or 4, gen 5 has one of my favorite stories in it, and gen 4(platinum, not diamond or pearl) is great, it has so many great features. I haven’t played thru gen 6, and gen 7 was ok but kinda easy, so I’d recommend gen 5, or Pokémon black or white.
you know what's my beef against pokemon games on GBA ?... The animations. It's literally absent ! I can't play a game where the main characters won't even have an animation when attacking. might as well just play a dice rolling game.
@@classonbread5757 ok but that’s still a gem 1 game, it uses mainly gen 1 Pokémon throughout the whole game, it takes place in gen 1 region, kanto, it still functionally is gen 1
I don't know why someone would give a thumbs down on a video like this. I mean, the guys are just talking about games. It's not like they're talking about something that shocks anyone. o.O
There's some strange people out there who lurk around doing this to a bunch of channels. It's like the dislike bombs happen all at the same time than go away.
Some people think they make these videos to increase the value of old games. Raising prices to benefit themselves when they sell old gems. Im sure it does benefit them. But i wont hate on that. These games should get some spotlight.
I remember being blown away by the GBA also, I got the clamshell design. I only played like 3-4 games on it also, so seeing how great these other games look makes me wish I still had it. Golden Sun music is insane, I can still hear it in my head right now.
+fleurdiorra How do you know that he killed ANY people, much less that they were innocent?? Going into the military isn't a Rambo flick or Top Gun; there are many soldiers and airmen that haven't ever had to fire a shot. Get a grip.
I just wanted to thank you for mentioning the Golden Sun games and praising them. They're my most beloved games and I wish so much for a new one after the 3rd on the DS...
OMG that game rocks!! It's the perfect Dragon Ball game for fans of the original series (before Z). I love how you go from a sidescroll platformer to then 1 to 1 fights... really EPIC
A note about the GBA micro, some of the older GBA games didn’t play as well on it. For example, I tried my copy of advance wars and the save data didn’t come up, which was a freak out moment, because I had unlocked eagle as a playable character (which is the hardest thing you can do on that game. And it is hard) I thought it wiped my save data. Was so relieved when I put it in the 101 GBA SP and the save data was still there. Whew! (Also those advance wars maps were super small on the micro) Micro turned out to be totally handy for late night train rides home after partying, and playing doom 2 all wasted
I'm so happy I found Metal Jesus . My game collection isnt big but I have all 3 generation Xboxs with the original modded . 2 color gameboy , ps4 and ps2 . Also 3 retro shelf arcades . Love the channel
I have 2 Wiis, ps3, ps4, x360, mega drive, atari portable, dsixl midnight blue, original blue 3ds, new3dsxl samus edition, and a game boy color. I sold my gamecube, my gba sp, my ps1, ps2, master system and broke my ds lite.
I think my favorite title off of GBA was the Sims Bustin out. I remember buying it thinking it was just going to be a Sims game, and the fact that it was an RPG inspired by the sims blew me away.
It's funny cause I have never have been into RPG-Games and I totally enjoyed this one ! One the fewest I finished by the way. And actually, maybe they had the best idea by not trying to replicate a PC game which never worked on console. Really an underrated game, maybe because of that bad reputation.
I’m so glad I still have my GBA SP! Got a nice collection of games but still so many more awesome ones to get! Peak Nintendo era GBA and GameCube imo! 21.5 years later I still have the original battery in my SP and on a full charge I can play for about two hours. Pretty impressive quality.
+The Little Merman YES! That was the game I got with my SP for Christmas and I played it non-stop, my favorite GBA game of all time next to Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo Revival
Nice vide as always! I'd recommend Wario Land 4, Final Fantasy VI, Castlevania AoS, Golden Sun, and probably Yoshi's Land although the catalog is huge and it's hard to choose from loads of nice games.
Fire Emblem & Golden Sun are must haves.. Defender of the Crown and Wings are good Amiga ports.. Then of course the classic Mario games and Zelda 1-3.. There was also a good Punch Out clone called Boxing Fever..
+▐ ᴇʟᴍᴏᴅᴏ7▐ Am I the only person who actually liked KH Com? I played that alot on my GBA. I burned out the LR buttons due to all the sleights. so much fun to me.
Thank you guys for this buying guide. I saved up to $80 to buy a GameBoy Advance and some games and this really helped me choose which model and games i would choose
Zelda: The Minish Cap and both Golden Sun Games are so awesome and i loved playing these even tho i'm normaly a pc guy and not so much into console gaming.
Fun Fact:The Gamecube Link cable is also useful for letting you use your original gba as a controller while playing games with the gameboy player. You still need to have batteries in your gba to power it on but it gives you the most authentic gba expirence on a tv
I just got a Kirby and the amazing mirror complete in box yesterday I had been seeing it on the shelf for almost a month after seeing it there again I just had to buy it! I play on a ds but now I’m on the hunt for a game boy sp 101 version
8 ปีที่แล้ว +6
I love how excited Reggie gets, haha. This makes me want to finally get around to picking up a GBA; can't find a 101 for a decent price though.
Or you could do what I did and by a standard GBA when there was a GBA SP on the counter right next to you. Not my smartest move, but I bought it to play links awakening DX (since I already have a ds lite) so it’s more like playing it on a GBC
definitely need to check out Ninja Five-0. it may sound cheesy but it's amazing, imagine bionic commando as a ninja... yup it's a think and it's awesome
(25:05) "A game you would recommend?" *Sims Bustin' Out*: Provides the instant immersion of being a teenager who climbs the social ladder with part-time jobs. Has a manageable neighborhood to progress in. Country atmosphere with a small town and open barn useable as a Player home.
One big thing that wasn't mentioned in this video, though, is that the GBA SP didn't have a headphone jack. You'll have to get an adapter (kind of like what Apple has for the iPhone) in order to use headphones on the GBA SP.
I've beat legend of zelda minish cap, a link to the past port, sword of Mana, metroid zero mission, metroid fusion, mother 3 and castlevania aria of sorrow! I fucking love the GBA and it's library!
GBA is my favourite system, because at the time it was the first console I was able to regularly go out and buy games myself for, and after Pokemon made sure everybody had a GameBoy, all of my friends had a GBA. Everyone should check these out: Castlevania Aria of Sorrow - Best GBA game in the series by far, set the stage for Dawn of Sorrow on DS, which is considered better than Symphony of the Night by some. Astro Boy Omega Factor - Treasure brawler/shooter, and it's way better than Gunstar Super Heroes if you ask me. Dragonball Z Legacy of Goku 2 - Action RPG following the Android/Cell Anime, dialogue isn't too lengthy, and it's fun enough that I've beaten it a few times. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - GBA exclusive, not as good as the PS1 original, or Tactics Ogre, but still a great game. Mario Kart Super Circuit - My favourite Mario Kart game. Better gameplay and visuals than the SNES original, and you can unlock all of the old tracks! Mother 3 - I haven't played this yet, but I hear very good things, and it's an exclusive with nice visuals from Nintendo. Repro the shit out of that. Drill Dozer - From the Pokemon developers, again I haven't played this, but it looks pretty cool.
oooh yeah. i was about to say "if i dont see golden sun" i'm on my second playthrough of the 1st game, just recently bought the virtual console one on wiiu and ordered a physical copy off ebay. amazing game. 11/10
I don't know if you might know these already, but if not, you should take a look at the /r/GoldenSun community on Reddit, and the @IsaacforSmash account on Twitter. Hope to see you there! :) #TheGoldenSunWillRiseAgain
Don't forget, the GBA/Gamecube Cable works for Metroid Prime/Fusion as well. It lets you use the Fusion suit in Prime after you beat the main story at least once. :)
I keep hearing such good things about the SNES and GBA Mario RPG games. Just tried the SNES one and it looks like they were going for that DK Country style 3D modeling , but fell a bit short - the graphics are a bit dark and messy... The GBA one looks amazing though, bright and colorful. Definitely going to start with that one.
Brody I thinck every time before they do the best games videos they should ask the world I mean metal slug come on boring more like pokemon Mario Zelda sonic
just bought myself gba sp and zelda minish cap and both golden suns...and all the games even come with boxes and manuals yay! and didnt cost that much either :)
The Mega Man Zero series was a really decent challenge for folks. I've got an E-Reader, but no duplicate systems to take advantage of the Mario Card series I got through the Nintendo Power Bundle deal for the game and the entire set of cards made in North America. Really wish they'd make a GBA Mini Classic or something with 50+ games because the system has soooo many gems. EDIT: Holy hell, I almost forgot the awesomeness that was Drill Dozer. From Game Freak this title was a huge bit of fun for old school puzzle platform fans and I am so glad I took NP's suggestion to heart and picked this up from the discount bins when I had the chance.
Video is "old" but Megaman Zero series is a must (gets better in each installment) for megaman fans, especially X series, and Sonic Advance is pretty fun too! Also, it was the first time (at least for me?) that you played as Knuckles. Great videos metaljesus
Ultimately chose this as my retro console to collect for. It covers so much of the 16-bit era yet offers sequels and tons of contemporary titles for the early 00’s in that style. Not to take anything away from SNES or Genesis this just seems to cover the staples of that game era plus more.
Final fantasy tatics advance is a great game. I found zero mission online, but expensive. I have fusion as well and prefer fusion. A link to the past with 4 swords is fun if you have the link for 4 gba's. Great video!
Uhhh, how did he rip her off? She accepted the offer he gave. Maybe her parents should've been there for her to guide her. People like you are irritating because you don't believe in personal accountability at all. She could have said no. Get over yourself.
Well he is taking a lot more care about the thing, if she had it and never sold it, it would probably be broken, forgotten or scratched and stuff, so i am glad he grabbed the little handheld.

Just checked my Lite, the thing is STILL in sleep mode after like, 5 or so years.

One big thing that wasn't mentioned in this video, though, is that the GBA SP didn't have a headphone jack. You'll have to get an adapter (kind of like what Apple has for the iPhone) in order to use headphones on the GBA SP.
Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland is not a remake of the original Gameboy title. It's actually remake of Kirby's Adventure on the NES.
Reggie kinda looks like a Catholic Priest in this video XD
Ha!
+Piefav2 And he is talking about gameBOY'S :) lol
Piefav2 I was thinking more like a Shaolin Kung Fu master
Piefav2 😁😁
Radical Reggie Reggie’s like that one super nice guy that works at a game store that you end up talking to for like 6 hours
It’s so awesome to see that everyone loves Reggie as much as I do. He must be protected at all costs 🙏🙌💯
Asa Davis protected from?
White was a launch color. It was the one I got and always referred to it as the GBA Soap Bar.
I've beat legend of zelda minish cap, a link to the past port, sword of Mana, metroid zero mission, metroid fusion, mother 3 and castlevania aria of sorrow! I fucking love the GBA and it's library!
I want to drink a beer and cuddle with Reggie.
Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga is definitely the best game on the system for me. Fawful alone makes this game worth playing... xD
Disagree respectfully. This game is overrated, repetitive.
Genooooooo
was my favorite childhood game but mother 3 is leagues better in my opinion. probably the best game ever made.
Reggie is the best
22:30 I agree with Reggie, being stalked by the other Metroid adds real suspense to Metroid fusion it's my favourite 2d Metroid ever!
It's not Metroid...
My 2 favorite GBA games are Metroid Fusion and WarioLand 4. Absolutely love them!
Bummer you used pixel smoothing for your game capture, it's a great disservice to the GBAs beauty IMO.
GBA is my favourite system, because at the time it was the first console I was able to regularly go out and buy games myself for, and after Pokemon made sure everybody had a GameBoy, all of my friends had a GBA.
Everyone should check these out:
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow - Best GBA game in the series by far, set the stage for Dawn of Sorrow on DS, which is considered better than Symphony of the Night by some.
Astro Boy Omega Factor - Treasure brawler/shooter, and it's way better than Gunstar Super Heroes if you ask me.
Dragonball Z Legacy of Goku 2 - Action RPG following the Android/Cell Anime, dialogue isn't too lengthy, and it's fun enough that I've beaten it a few times.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - GBA exclusive, not as good as the PS1 original, or Tactics Ogre, but still a great game.
Mario Kart Super Circuit - My favourite Mario Kart game. Better gameplay and visuals than the SNES original, and you can unlock all of the old tracks!
Mother 3 - I haven't played this yet, but I hear very good things, and it's an exclusive with nice visuals from Nintendo. Repro the shit out of that.
Drill Dozer - From the Pokemon developers, again I haven't played this, but it looks pretty cool.
I want to hang out with the two of you guy's and just play games all day, #BESTDAYEVER
oooh yeah. i was about to say "if i dont see golden sun"
i'm on my second playthrough of the 1st game, just recently bought the virtual console one on wiiu and ordered a physical copy off ebay.
amazing game. 11/10
I don't know if you might know these already, but if not, you should take a look at the /r/GoldenSun community on Reddit, and the @IsaacforSmash account on Twitter.
Hope to see you there! :)

Don't forget, the GBA/Gamecube Cable works for Metroid Prime/Fusion as well. It lets you use the Fusion suit in Prime after you beat the main story at least once. :)
I would’ve at least given the girl $10 for the New York Pikachu edition one.
Yeah, she got ripped off pretty bad. 😁
Yeah, ya thief
Reggie is awesome! Thank you for serving our country sir.
Best games: Pokemon Ruby/Saphire/Emerald, Golden Sun part 1 and 2, and DBZ Legacy of Goku games.
Love how you tagged Zelda as "The First daughter" because that is exactly what you hear from Reggie.
I keep hearing such good things about the SNES and GBA Mario RPG games. Just tried the SNES one and it looks like they were going for that DK Country style 3D modeling , but fell a bit short - the graphics are a bit dark and messy... The GBA one looks amazing though, bright and colorful. Definitely going to start with that one.
I was never really into the GBA when I was younger. But now, I'm surprised at the amount of hidden gems on the system!
Same dude but now i'm now interested playing this games (and other old retro games too)
I was in the service too , Reggie!
Thank you for your service battle buddy!
Massive respect for both of u guys and other ppl out there. Thank you :]
I WOULD FCKNIG RECOMMEND ALL POKEMONS GAMES
Amirul Abid Pokemon is kinda a gimme though. They are trying to show games that maybe not all people know are good or even exists.
Amirul Abid no shit there the only good titles for the advance
Brody I thinck every time before they do the best games videos they should ask the world I mean metal slug come on boring more like pokemon Mario Zelda sonic
Metal Jesus spondgbob its not even a nintindo franchise I mean they realese games I prefers maybe a nintindo character
Right??? Especially Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, easily one of my favourite pokemon games
Reggie in the army?!!! Have to make a video about that man...
Awesome to see ARMY photos of Reggie. Thank you for your service
Did y’all recommend final fantasy tactics advance
Such a great game ❤️
"I like a little bit more of story in my game"....... *Recommends Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2* LMAO
My thought exactly hahahaha
Red Beard NJ Tony Hawk tells a story through movement
@@wistful3631 as much as a Brazzers porno
Billy-wayne Jeffcoat Ricardo ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

zubair ahmed hello, always nice to meet fans
zubair ahmed afterlife is pretty boring ive had time to learn

So you've been collecting games this whole time? How's your Atari 2600 collection coming?
heck yea!!!!!!
The Mega Man Zero series was a really decent challenge for folks. I've got an E-Reader, but no duplicate systems to take advantage of the Mario Card series I got through the Nintendo Power Bundle deal for the game and the entire set of cards made in North America. Really wish they'd make a GBA Mini Classic or something with 50+ games because the system has soooo many gems.
EDIT: Holy hell, I almost forgot the awesomeness that was Drill Dozer. From Game Freak this title was a huge bit of fun for old school puzzle platform fans and I am so glad I took NP's suggestion to heart and picked this up from the discount bins when I had the chance.
Video is "old" but Megaman Zero series is a must (gets better in each installment) for megaman fans, especially X series, and Sonic Advance is pretty fun too! Also, it was the first time (at least for me?) that you played as Knuckles. Great videos metaljesus
I love how MJR picked off the little girl for the insanely expensive NY version of the GBA. Great video.
no mario kart?
Nope
+Radical Reggie hahaha
+STEEVEWES yeah, that suprised me too. super circuit is definitely one of my favorite games for the system
+Coleman Straight you're god damn right
or super mario advance
"Short Zelda game" shrinking in the game is that pun intended
Ultimately chose this as my retro console to collect for. It covers so much of the 16-bit era yet offers sequels and tons of contemporary titles for the early 00’s in that style. Not to take anything away from SNES or Genesis this just seems to cover the staples of that game era plus more.
Final fantasy tatics advance is a great game. I found zero mission online, but expensive. I have fusion as well and prefer fusion. A link to the past with 4 swords is fun if you have the link for 4 gba's. Great video!
yeah Reggie
You ripped that little girl off.
Common theme on this channel...lol...but alls fair in game collecting...
Uhhh, how did he rip her off? She accepted the offer he gave. Maybe her parents should've been there for her to guide her.
People like you are irritating because you don't believe in personal accountability at all. She could have said no.
Get over yourself.
Well he is taking a lot more care about the thing, if she had it and never sold it, it would probably be broken, forgotten or scratched and stuff, so i am glad he grabbed the little handheld.
why does no one ever talk about drill dozer
ut its great
i mean but
I got it for Wii U and an in the middle of it now.
The legacy of goku 1 and 2, plus buu's fury are all incredible and easily my favorite gba games next to zelda and mario.
Fusion, Zero Mission, Boktai 1& 2 and Pokemon emerald are my favorite games on the gba
