Hey guys this is a re-upload, when I first put it up it didn't come up in most peoples sub boxes sad reacc
I read all your comments on the last vid and they were super nice many thanks much love :) also I want to announce that first comment extraordinare LandBox managed to land the first comment for the first time in ages well done, yet the vid got taken down lmao
minimme i didn't sleep for this
I had liked the video when there was only 5 likes. I closed the window, did some homework and came back to youtube later. And I was like why's there deleted video in like playlist?
Was awesome fun but a blocky mess
Well, this one didnt appear on my box either, i got here from your post informing about the reupload
Underground on the GBA actually gives me a lot of nostalgia, it was the first and only game I got when I got the handheld GB, and I chose it cause I was already into racing.
I love how much detail they put into customising the looks of a car you can barely see
I mean to be fair, that's a lot of racing games. Even modern ones. You usually either stare at the back bumper of your car, or you're using a cockpit view where you MIGHT see the hood. Customizing the visuals of a car in a racing games is nearly pointless, but it's still fun to KNOW your car looks a certain way.
@@TXFDA no
@@TXFDA I mean, you *could* watch your car in replay mode…
@@TXFDA Cockpit view in tuning games is a sin. But you actually see a good chunk of your car in 3rd person, since your car isn't stationary and turns left and right all the time. You don't only get to see it from the back either, assuming the game allows you to look backwards.
That thumbnail will give me nightmares.
Its YOU! Woah. Hey golden bolt!
_he's dangerous_
Well, because he keeps using Tony Hawk's face in every thumbnail for games that don't evem feature Tony Hawk!!!
The Golden Bolt all his thumbnails are disturbing af but lowkey satisfying
Don't look up Aphex Twin's Windowlicker.
this video inspired me to start playing underground 1 on a GBA emulator, I am a crazy man
The same here
Already have it on real gba sp
I am playing Driv3r on a Game Boy emulator and it keeps crashing.
I'm just looking for games for it
I'll be honest, these games are the kind of games that actually look better on an actual GBA. The smaller screen helps, but the GBA also has some like, motion smudging and stuff that helps blend things together. Playing on a bigger screen with crystal clear graphics.....kinda makes it look worse.
Minime is now officially the GBA Guy.
Its between him and Stop Skeletons From Fighting, can't pick a favorite TBH.
+scottthewaterwarrior why not both?
(((((((((((((((::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I mean, is that a bad thing? the GBA had so really fantastic games
It would be awesome if he turned into snesdrunk but with GBA.

I still think the GT series is much more suited to the GBA hardware, that F-Zero style with mode 7 tracks and car sprites. When I first saw that in 2001 I was really impressed by the quality of the car sprites and it's frames of animation.
They are pretty good. I really like the soundtracks too
I remember playing through Carbon Own The City on my DS. It’s one of the few DS games I actually played all the way through
"Dang who is this cute girl in the video thumbnail?"
*pays closer attention*
"Oh...."
I really appreciate these kind of videos. I love analyzing the tech in games from the pre-HD generations.
I didn't even realize how old this video was. I've been subbed for a while. 😆 Your content is timeless apparently.
_THE V.1.01 PATCHED VERSION._
I remember playing NFS Most Wanted on the NO$GBA emulator. Yes, and people may question me, but I'm currently using either the real deal (aka: the no-backlight, REAL MAN'S GBA) or VisualBoy Advance.
NFSU1: The graphics are using some sort of dithering technique, feeling like it's been interlaced. Kinda like the intro for Sonic 3D Blast to an extent.
NFSPU: Bouncing off walls, huh?
NFSU2: One step forward, 3 steps back.
NFSMW: 7:08 Kinda looks like my car when playing this.
NFSCOTC: Is that a fucking eraser or a Mustang?
I think my biggest issue with both GBA Underground games, is that they both include open side roads on the tracks. Open side roads that you CAN'T drive on. Meaning, I've lose many a race due to taking a wrong turn into an invisible wall because I thought I was meant to go down this super obvious open road, when I was actually meant to drive past it and take the NEXT corner.
It's actually more of an issue in the first Underground, but Underground 2 does it a bit too. It's a little easier to deal with once you play for a bit and know what to look for as well as when you start memorizing the tracks a bit. But it's still obnoxious. I think the entire game would have done better if they just simplified the graphics. Take out the unnecessary side roads, make the wall and ground textures a little simpler and more cartoony instead of trying to do realism on a GBA. It would have cleared up the confusion, as well as making the entire thing look less like a pixel smudge.
I definitely agree, that if they made these games with the V-Rally engine, they'd be SO GOOD. Like, I already like them, but maaaan, they'd probably be my favorite GBA games if they looked as good as V-Rally.

They put the exhaust backfire on the wrong side
Didn't have any of these, but I had Driver 2 (and apparently the better Driver game on GBA, or so I heard recently). But it always kind of amazed me that that game even existed on the GBA. And I also had it on PS1 many years earlier and the translation of the game to the handheld was intriguing. Not necessarily overly exciting, but still - a massive 3D open world on GBA.
You should try the Symbian NFS games. (from S60V3 especially)
They are surprisingly good.
The file extension is ".sisx".
And you could combine that episode with the Java NFS games.
Their extension is ".jar".
I don't think I can agree. I guess graphics shouldn't matter that much but when they're so bad that they don't let you see where you're going, they become a huge deal. I could never get over that.
I had Untergrund 2 for the GBA and I was very impressed because I had never seen 3D on that console
8 year old me thought NFS Underground 2 on GBA was the best thing ever, safe to say it doesn't hold up well
Thank you for existing, minimme
That medicine cabin is really weird. I know that you were going for a display glass cabinet but that's not the right choice. Ikea sells one that's almost 2 meters tall and all around glass and you can add light to it too. Look that one up, it's called DETOLF, it comes in both white and black. I have a black one.
i like how the 240sx in nfsu2 is shooting flames out of the bumper since the tailpipe is on the other side 😂
Honestly, the esoteric subjects are one of my favorite parts of these videos.
lol the button in Carbon that sends another car reeling towards you "most masochistic game feature"
Wow I think this is like the first 3D gba game where the cars are 3D and not pre-render sprites
fantastic review compilation and comparison.
I never played handheld ports of console games. So Need For Speed and other games like that I always played them on the consoles.
I don't have any issues with using emulation for these kinds of videos, but you've _gotta_ work on proper scaling for your GBA footage. Not only is the aspect ratio off here, but the pixels are all uneven sizes, which makes everything look more wobbly than these games already were.
Need for speed has quite a few releases on underpowered hardware, like the Mega Drive in Brazil and the N-Gage
I saw the notification of the first upload, but I don't watch videos when they come out, I watch them when I have time.
You should review DS and PSP versions of NFS games
I feel like the wingmen worked best on the PSP. It could just be nostalgia, as I can’t go back to play it today but I remember those takedowns were fucking wild and I remember there being one where they drop spikes out the back of the car and they stuck around for the rest of the race. The Xbox, ps3, wii, GameCube, whatever is pretty much the same story as the GBA here; the wingmen are only good for their passive bonuses.
I'd like to see you do a Video on Burnout Legends DS. It maybe what they call a Porting Disaster but I got quite a bit of nostalgic enjoyment for it...
I owned nfs underground 2 for my gba sp back in the day. I dont know how i finished it multiple times. Trying to get past like anything but the drift racing and first races is impossible now it seems for me. I feel like there is a massive difficulty spike but maybe thats a problem with playing it on an emulator
Despite the ugly graphics, those are in my opinion better than the DS ports of NFS games because nearly all of them suffered from terribly wonky controls, while on GBA they were more responsive.
i'm a simple man. i see perfect dark in the cabinet, i click like.
Don't forget these games were made for a much smaller displays than we use today.
I was obsessed with this game as a kid 🙉
the one i haven't played is the best? welp. now i gotta try it.
nice vid, will you do ds and psp nfs games too?
Love your channel
I played this alot with my second grade teacher then we has a racing group after a while
I will never see that cutscene the way i used to anymore
Lets just now talk about the backfire coming out of the wrong side of the car. 😂
Did you do a GBA racers video?
Shame that visualboyadvance doesnt emulate correctly the audio on this game, as if you play it on original hardware it sounds way, way better.
besides Most Wanted i love all the GBA ports if NFS, specially underground 2
If by "better told" you mean there's voice acting and some crappy "kinetic comic" effects, then sure, the DS and PSP versions of Own the City are better. At least the PSP version has free roam.
3:30 Anybody else noticed the Driver soundtrack?
Now that's a lot of pixels!
"why can't we boost in NFS Porsche unleashed" ... lul never heard of the PC/PSX version? It's a different type of racing game
Gosh, I remember playing nfs Porsche on my gba SP when I got it for Christmas back in the day... I cannot imagine having ever played such crap 😆
the gba need for speed carbon stole the story from my fav need for speed game need for speed carbon own the city psp
You think that later NFS stories were perhaps better told on other platforms? You poor, poor soul. They're unskippable FMVs with unemploymed performing arts students for actors.
lol i always ctrl (-) to see how the graphic maybe was those days
Why is Tony Hawk in every thumbnail?
Playing nfs underground now. Will buy underground 2 when finished.
My favorite Need for Speed is Carbon.
is that a photoshop from the movie
i dont play need for speed
Ive played this games for hours but never thought about uploading the gameplays in yt
I have Underground.
on my tablet
GBA is only good for its Japanese RPG and strategy titles. I don't know why people bothered about racing games on the GBA since they're not cut out for 3D rendering.
Doom 1-2 level games was also good on GBA. Ok that game using 2D sprites.
1:07 KuruHS wants a word with you :v
Interesting but pointless fact I noticed about Most Wanted. All of the track layouts are taken from the first few tracks of the PS2 version of Underground 2. Just way scaled up. Might explain why they're a bit boring
I’m more impressed by these thumbnails lmao.
i found this vid bc i saw these games had gba releases on the wikipedia page. knowing what they look like on the pc i just had to see this. pretty hilarious
There’s still no decent car game on the Switch yet :(
There's Virtua Racer and Horizon Chase Turbo, but those are both ports, and neither have a particularly deep single player. Still thinking about buying a Switch just for Virtua Racer though lmao, love me some Sega racing games.
why pixel textures?
Damn, you make a convincing girl
awesome now please do the ds games
I used to play a ton of
Underground 2 on the GBA. I actually 100% it three times. That might just be young me playing what I had, but I legit thought it was great.
I still think that game was the best racing game on the gba
lol same.
Yeah, I agree. That game was the bomb
I mean, I just started playing it yesterday. It's over half way into 2021. I still enjoy it. I hate the minigames and drag racing to be honest, but the actual racing, drift challenges, and vehicle customization is enough fun that I actually put up with the few things I dislike, and am having fun.
It also looks a lot better than you'd think based on this video. The game, being played on a small GBA or DS screen, looks a LOT better than it being played on a big TH-cam video or emulator. Especially if it's on a GBA (as opposed to the DS) because the GBA has some motion smudging and stuff that helps blend some stuff together.
Review NFS in ds.
_Affine texture warping intensifies_
Software rendered nightmare
Only this nerd would know what causes the texture warping on the GBA.
PS. You don't realize who this is but I know you mwahah
Can someone upload the Gba version of Get low
Sims 2 DS when?
If only
what a game Wow
Bustin Out in GBA
Petscop 2 when???
nintendogs 2 when?
The way this channel works is kinda odd.
Whenever I see its thumbnails I click on them like I'm about to open a tab with only an image file (and then behold the beautiful art), ignoring the fact that I'm in TH-cam (a video-only plataform).
After the click, what I find is a video of the man minimme himself with graceful minimme-quality content in it; thing that, maybe is not the image that I was sold for, yet it is something that equals its passion.
Shine on, you digital skater.
I need the thumb is HD so I can use it as a wallpaper
I FOUND IT thank you footdad
@@Flyingpapaya WHERE ._.

You're committed to ruining art with your face aren't you, you...reverse Tarantino!
I really wish NFS Underground 2 kept the AMAZING physics engine from 1. Almost every racing game on both GBA and DS has super wack slidey crappy physics.
Has anyone else noticed weird similarities in GBA 3D titles and the way 3D looked on the 3DO? Similar texture warping, frame rates, polygon detail, texture resolution, etc. Even their CPUs are surprisingly similar.
Missed opportunity for 3DO releases on the GBA
Yeah both the GBA and 3DO has CPU's based on the ARM architecture.
The similarities are probably more to do with the fact that GBA has no dedicated 3D hardware, meaning that you had to program the 3D engine to run in software entirely on the CPU, just like PC games before hardware acceleration became mainstream, which limits how much precision and detail you can get in the rendering, especially if you want a playable frame rate.
I don't know much about how the 3DO works, but given other systems from the time lacking dedicated 3D hardware like the Sega 32X, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same case there too. It really puts into perspective just how revolutionary the PlayStation was in the console space, even if it seems so archaic now.
@ sheepytina even the PS1 suffered from extreme affine texture warping and lacking a z-buffer which means it does not fully support perspective correction.
Software 3d with no FPU is rip.
You deserve all the support you get, man. You're one of my favourite TH-camrs to throw on when I've had a long day and I just wanna chill out. You're informative, entertaining, and just plain funny without being ouvert or obnoxious about it and I think that's a really tough thing to master. Best of luck for the new year!
appreciate this comment heaps man thankyou :)
I've been waiting 2 whole hours for this.
What has my life become?
These GBA Need For Speed are underrated. Even if you have the PC version and you download the GBA version, is still fun. The tuning is good, the car selection also and you have a simple but effective gameplay :D
Sorry for my english
Carbon: Own the City on PSP is the best handheld racing game
Tomáš Janák Wrong, Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition is.
@@DriftxKingGTR Because of the super long loading times of Midnight Club 3, I have to disagree.
Yeah Carbon: OTC is one of the best, but I find Juiced 2 HIN much better overall.
what about underground rivals?
@@Blueflag04 Few repetetive tracks, I was quite disappointed with most wanted/ underground rivals. Carbon had nice free-to-explore city, Undercover for psp as well.
Heyho. Watch many gba Videos from you.
Great work!
You look as a german guy^^
Very smart!
Who just beat underground 2 and came here looking for more NFS?
That fucking thumbnail.
I loved Porsche Unleashed
It was one of my first GBA games
Need for speed underground 2 was such a fun game .... those customizations were insane for the time
One of the best "Demakes" In the Need for speed series is underground 2 for the ds. It had a good campaign, good custumization a it was challenging. Surely not a perfect game, but I consider to be one of the best ports for a portable console
True honestly I liked the psp version too it's fun
The 3D games on the GBA are incredible , credit to the programmers
none of these games are as horrid as the ds Most wanted good god that game is both bad and boring like how in the fresh hell do you achieve that
Impressive DS racing games?
IMO Sideswiped is one of the most Impressive there, basically what Burnout DS could have been!
@DejaVoodooDoll I consider Kart Racers to be a different category from arcade racers. Though even with arcade racers there's a big difference between the new and old style ones. Old arcade racers were all about crazy drifts/powerslides, were modern ones (generally) make every car turn on a dime and have F1 levels of grip.
trackmania
Will you consider updating the series by taking a look at DS, 3DS, PSP, etc. versions of Need for Speed titles ; I really enjoyed playing with the Burnout series on the DS and PSP ?!
Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City on Psp tells the story the best cause it has fully voiced cut scenes and all around the Ds and Psp version of Need for Speed Carbon are the best and the Psp version as a free room feature using the map from Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) but the map is so different when ur driving that u cant tell its the Most Wanted map until u look at the mini-map and compare it to Most Wanted's map i would love to see a video of the all the DS and Psp Need for Speed games
This ports are incredible... Also the ds ports... Awesome whats possible on the gba...
Ask KuruHs. XD He „Loves“ this NFS games. Especially the mobile ones
Driv3r on GBA is even more impressive; how they managed to fit a 3D perspective GTA style game on that system is beyond me!
You forgot to mention the Most Wanted soundtrack which consists of autistic screeching and is the same on DS
its a idea but are u gonna do a video on the ds and psp need for speed games they have very good ports of some of them like carbon
In my opinion the first position is underground 2. Because if you complete 30% its stars interested. Fast cars, (rx7 just like a rocket), nice maps, (like a stadion) and average opponents. Music not boring, i thought. So, just played it a bit and you understanded what i mean. Sorry for my english, but i try hard
