      @@scott3429 I wouldn't make your bigotry so public if were you, lol. I say this as someone who has a lisp because of a cleft lip and palate. You're treading a similar line to racism here. If it disgusts you in a personal way in a similar way that seeing other people's mucus disgusts me, then I understand, but in general, having visible mucus is avoidable, and having a lisp is not. This is one of those things that you should probably keep to yourself, since it only makes you look bad and only serves to hurt feelings. Or maybe I'm missing the productive purpose of your comment? Feel free to tell me what it is.

      I remember in 2018 i wanted to buy a snes classic but one of my friend recommended me to buy android tv instead of snes classic so that i play gba games on tv. So as an experiment my friend show me gba games on his tv while casting mobile to tv and man i seriously love the sprites animation and graphics. Although it's decade old console i didn't know existence of this console because it is not released in my country and nobodies knows about this. So i ending up buying android tv box and started playing on tv and on my phone. The games i liked so far is Fire emblem sacred stone., Advance wars, Gundam seed fighting game, warioland 4 😀.

    I LOVE the fact people are really starting to get back into GBA and GBC again. I recently had mine modded into the look of a GameCube (purple, my favorite!!).. let me tell you how much absolute joy it’s been reliving my favorite games and new ones as a kid.
    One of my favorite being the original Pokémon Pinball, with the rumble battery pack! Such a simple game but when I tell you how addicted I was as a kid - and now!

    It was also pleasing to see Magical Vacation get a mention. I've never played the Japan-exclusive GBA game but I have luckily enjoyed it's DS sequel. As always, plenty of fantastic games shown off here that have caught my eye (Blender Bros, Steel Empire, Cina The Enemy, etc) that I shall have to keep a look out for, so thanks for that.

    Good call on Shining Soul 2. I played this game to absolute death and then decided to give Shining Soul(1) a try. The sequel is definitely the way to go.

    I remember Blender Bros. I remember playing a game as a kid where you played as some animal or something with things flying next to him you use. I didn't know the name. Blender Bros. Brings back memories.

    Summon Night Swordcraft Story 2, Killer 3D Pool, Ultimate Card Games, and Rainbow Six Rogue Spear are a couple other overlooked GBA games you should check out for a Part 2 vid!

    Tang tang is basically Solomon's Key [arcade, nes, gb]. I'm going to try it out and hopefully it'll be slightly easier than it's predecessor.

    Never heard of it until this video but Tang Tang is a lot like Troddlers in the way that you place blocks.

  • @goatintuxedo2206

    Tang Tang is literally a 16bit version of Solomon's keys on NES.
