Drill Dozer is absolute gaming perfection, I just wish Game Freak would have been allowed to make more original titles like this, instead of only doing Pokémon games 99% of the time.

They were allowed and they failed miserably. Some higher ups need some serious shake up because the whole company is doing bad as a game developer even though ironically well financially.

The rumble cartridge implementation alone is worth a play. Most games which use rumble features get boring very quickly, but Drill Dozer makes it feel like you're using a car gear shift which keeps the tactile experience exciting throughout the whole game.

They make original titles but they aren't very memorable, even the ones that are good. It doesn't help that Pokemon massively overshadows them. Tempo the Badass Elephant, Harmoknight, Pocket Card Jocket, Little Town Hero, and Giga Wrecker were all games they released after Drill Dozer. Most of these came out on other platforms too and they were still ignored.

Your Ecks vs. Sever section has footage for both Ecks vs. Sever (2001) which was based off of an early script of the film and Ballistic Ecks vs Sever (2002) which followed the theatrical release far more closely. Both are great though!

There was even an Ecks vs Sever 2 game despite the movie never getting a sequel. I find it funny.

Astroboy Omega Factor is criminally underrated.

its widely known to be one of the best GBA games and got awesome review scores at the time leading to many people buying it who never heard of the character

I'm honestly surprised that you included Scurge: Hive, that game has insane production value for being a late GBA release and is also fun and content packed! It's basically the Shantae of the GBA, and Shantae Advance (a game that was announced 20 years ago, but never launched) is now coming back with a limited run somehow. And yet, I think it's insane that Scurge: Hive was lucky enough to see the light of day on the GBA, 2 years after the DS came out.

@@birdfish86 glad you liked it! I kinda wish it had gotten more love, but Ig most people just assumed it was a Metroid knock-off at first glance, but I think it's like calling Shantae a Zelda knock-off at first glance. Scurge did get a DS port, but I think the GBA version is more special, for context alone. Orbital really knew how to make a great game that pushed the GBA to its limits

Scurge: Hive is pretty good. I still have yet to beat it, though. The last time I played it, I was almost finished, but my computer stopped working.

I really liked what I saw of Scurge Hive, but it turns out I already have that one 😂😂 Better start playing it soon.

another great video, thanks!

Ooh I loved drill dozen back in the day, it's so great to see it brought up again ^^

Doom and Doom II was awesome for GBA

This was my first time hearing about Scurge Hive and it seems right up my alley. I'll play it as soon as I finish Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

Anyone who likes Ninja-Five-O should check out the Shinobi Series, its a spiritual successor to Shinobi. I won't really call Drill Dozer a hidden gem, its on nearly every best GBA games list.

Plays more like Ninja Gaiden than Shinobi.

The Ghost Rider Gameboy game and Scorpion King: Sword of Osiris are also criminally underrated.

Yesthanks! Been looking for the name Guru Logic Champ for ages and finally found it!

Wow, these really are hidden gems! Great review! Sounds like she did her research and actually played the games, will have to try it myself.

Ninja 5-0 will remain a hidden gem for forever in the states given the price it commands.

Never heard of Scurge Hive. Looks great. Definitely gotta download it

Sigma Star Saga deserves to be on this list. And since J only games are allowed on this list, then Custom Robo GX deserves to be on this list. Mother 3 would be on this list too, except it's not hidden (most people know this game).

I'm gonna have to give these a try!

Amazing titles!

They really took inspiration from Logan’s Run. I mean everyone who reaches 30 will die, is definitely a direct reference from that movie.

You forgot to note as a fellow Brit that Drill Dozer never got released here 😭

yep I was going to point that out, I had to import the game from Canada.

Just seeing kuru kuru kururin in a bests on gba list made my day :)))

0:24 That joke🤣 Brings back memories

I still absolutely LOVE the pixel art on gbavanced 😍😍😍

I bought drill dozer at a vintage game shope when i was in high school. I got it for 12 bucks then. Cheapest one on ebay is 130 now

That eck of a game joke sent my straight to the hospital, great list though!

Hello TripleJump!👋

You need to include Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival for the GBA. It is ultra amazing.

come on guys!! scurge hive was also released on the ds and theres dozens, maybe hundreds of gba exclusive games!!!

Kuru Kuru Kururin was never released in the US.

always assumed turtles were amphibians until today 😅😅

11:15 Just a heads up, there appears to be a few clips mixed in from the second game, Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever. I had both and would probably agree the first game is the superior though less technically impressive game

Broooo minish cap is top tier

"Samurai Deeper Kyo" Should've been on this List...

Ninja Five 0 ftw

Ninja Cop is better

Somebody’s been rummaging around my GBA shelves again . . .

Even though it was well known, Golden Sun. HOW has there not been a master collection or remake on switch?! Same with the 3DS Fire Emblem games. They all deserve touch ups graphically and be on the Switch.

Damn. Was hoping to see Sigma Star Saga on this list.

Does kinda help that the No.1 pick on this list was developed by GameFreak.

Ohh, spicy!

Rebelstar, it looks like original Xcom on GBA???? Oh I am in, thanks for bringing this game to my attention

I really enjoy Rebelstar, and I’m glad it doesn’t have Chrysalids.

Car battler Joe at least now a days idk if I'd call it a hidden gem. Going for over 150 dollars loose haha so obviously pretty well know

hahahah i knew that kuru kuru kururin had to be here i played it so much !!!!

The price on Ninja 5-0 is insane. IF you can find one

Everyone should be driving at 16!

I'm disappointed, but not surprised, that "Tomato Adventure" wasn't included. An RPG that stayed in Japan and had one of the most unique turn-based battle systems I'd ever experienced. Yes, it's in Japanese, though I believe there was no kanji, so all kana text. Still challenging for a non native speaker, but well worth a play.

Tomato Adventure is clearly the blueprints for the Mario and Luigi RPGs, also made by AlphaDream.

How can a launch title be a hidden gem

Mech platoon??

Alas, can’t follow your recommendation and try out many of these titles (including Drill Dozer) since I don’t have hundreds and fucking hundreds of quid to fling at GBA games (which does seem to be something YT creators forget when it comes to retro hidden gem lists).

boktai is a hidden gem

@GreatSageSunWukong

Boktai wasn't hidden it was very high profile at the time, I'd say Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django and lunar knights on the DS where less well known then the original

Still can’t wrap my mind around Ecks vs. Sever. Granted good games based on bad movies aren’t unheard of, see Star Wars Episode I: Racer and Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (ok Pitch Black was decent, but Chronicles of Riddick was boring as hell), but a good game based on the early script of a bad movie? That’s a new one. Of course there is that Spy Hunter game based on the cancelled movie based on the arcade game, but from what I gather it’s mediocre
