I'm trying to program Zelda Ocarina of Time for the GBA in 3D! I uploaded a couple progress videos but I hope to add more. Programming 3d for the gba is not easy but is rewarding.

You didn't try Duke Nukem Advance? That one is notorious for good FPS on GBA. Ecks VS Sever 2 is a pretty notable example, too.

Good stuff! Another KZreadr I watch, minimme, has done a TON of videos like this on the games that pushed the GBA's boundaries, as well as DS and PSP games as well - if anybody's looking for more GBA 3D videos, give him a look!

Can't believe Super Monkey Ball Jr. wasn't on this list! That was an incredble 3D game on the GBA. Not only was it 3D, there were a ton of levels and minigames to play, making it highly replayable. Quad Desert Fury wasn't a very fleshed-out game, but it did have a decent open world to race an ATV in, and the framerate wasn't terrible.

Not sure if it’s a true 3D game but I was blown away back in the day with Wing Commander Prophecy on the GBA. Took a huge PC port and managed to make something playable!

Love these kinds of videos. It's awesome to see what old consoles can do and how different ports hold up.

I'm almost sure it's me who hinted you to the french 3d gba games (asterix, stuntman...) perhaps even drome racers! I owned them all and still collect gba games. Thank you for your video!

Great video - GBA is one of my all-time favorite systems... but the real reason I'm commenting is because while I normally watch your videos on a PC with headphones, I watched this last night on my Xbox One, and my one-year old was so enraptured by your opening music he stopped playing with his toys, stared at the screen and started dancing.

I'm sure there are many more too, (like the garbage Serious Sam game) but these were all fun and impressive games on the gba.

Ecks vs Sever, ice nine, driver 3 are good examples of 3d games on the gba

Been waiting for this video! Asterix and Obelix is good fun, and Star X looks awesome. You should definitely try Max Payne for the GBA, and Iridon 3D is a super hard and fun one too.

this is an interesting category of games to cover. thanks!

Game Boy Advance is sooooo awesome ! One of the greatest handheld console ever

nothing on Ecks Vs Sever 1 and 2? Both of them are pretty cool 3D games on the GBA.

I have both Wing Commander and Smashing Drive, truly impressive games from a hardware standpoint, too bad they don't play as well as they look. Figuring out what is shooting at you in Wing Commander is way too hard, and the escort missions are just pure evil, even by escort mission standards! Smashing Drive's problem is that the driving physics are a bit boring, though I guess that is still better than them just being bad. I still think the GBA game with the best balance of amazing 3D graphics and game play is Top Gear Rally.

He just pronounced it with the original language's (German) dictation applied. It annoys me when people are sticklers about pronouncing things "correctly" when really they are asking them to pronounce the name using the dictation from the language of the country of origin. I refuse to pronounce the country of Chile as "chee-lay". I will always say "chill-lee". Because I speak American English. I will pronounce the word with its established American English pronunciation; not the Spanish one. I don't care if "Chile is a food." English has homonyms galore (sound the same but have different meanings). Among all those, why did everyone decide that the word "Chile" is a problem? And that we HAVE to pronounce "Chile" (the country) with a Spanish dictation? Why must "Porsche" be pronounced with a German dictation? If we have to say "Porsche-UH", then we also have to say the German dictations of Volkswagon ("Folks-Vagon") and BMW ("Bey-em-vey").

Love this kind of videos about the Gameboy family! One game I would recommend is Super Monkey Ball Jr. I also think Need for Speed Underground 2 was a good effort.

You should try Grunty´s Revenge! I love that game so much. It´s also a game that a lot of Banjo Kazooie fans don´t even realise exist.

Thanks Jason for a great video. The running time is good and the games you talk about all get the same fair time. How about talking about some old movies ? I know you have done one video and it was great. Greetings from Sweden.

TRON: Killer App has a 3D game mode where you drive tanks around in the world of TRON. The rest of the game is isometric but those tank levels were not bad. Check it out.

Awesome video! Doom 2 looks fantastic :D

Wow, bringing back memories with that Crazy Taxi game

I think it has already been mentioned but V-Rally was one of the best racers on the GBA. It was made by the French developers of Asterix & Obelix XXL by the way. I think you should talk about developers a little more, since it seems that several games in the video are made by the same teams...

Hey MJR nice video. I learned about a few interesting games I hadn't heard of. I have Doom (not 2, it is expensive) and Duke Nukem 3D for the GBA, and I like them both a lot...Doom is dumbed down, unlike Doom 2, but is still fun. Duke lacks music if i recall correctly but played well enough and was fun enough for me to complete it.

Nice video dude !

For a moment I thought your shirt said Ground Control, the same as that old RTS series. I miss that one.

Very impressive though! Great video!

I played a lot of Dragon Ball Z Taiketsu on the GBA. That was a mix of 3D character models with 2D backgrounds. Very fun game, hard controls tho at first

I currently program for the GBA! I'm going to make a custom GBA raycaster game for you! :)

cool video tech talk metal jesus rocks

So glad you made this video. I don't care for 3D on the GBA but getting some recommendations is awesome anyway.

2 games I noticed you missed were Big Motha Truckers which was originally a really fun game on the PS2 and the game based on the first live action Scooby Doo movie which was honestly a really fun although really ugly to look at game with great music tracks.

007 Nightfire was great on PC and console. Have great memories playing it online and with friends.

Drone Racer looks interesting. Lego Racers was one of my favorite games growing up. I'll check it out. :D

I *loved* V-Rally, which was done by the crew who would go onto do Stuntman (I think the rallying gameplay fit their engine better than what Stuntman was trying to do). The other one which seriously knocked my socks off was Wing Commander Prophecy. Yeah, they squeezed that into a GBA cart. Was some serious black magic involved there to get it feeling as solid as it did.

Nice to see a video thats not a Snes Mini unboxing video today

Corvette for the GBA was a really fun 3D racer centered around Corvettes from the '50's to '03! Check it out!

Check out V-Rally 3 by the same developers as Asterix & Obelix.

Wing commander prophecy was a pretty surprising one back in the day. Also, on Star X, it's. It only on rails, it also has All range battles. Driver 3 was a really ambitious title on the GBA

I do not have any of these games, however a few months ago I did repair a GameBoy Advanced, mostly it was missing a few small parts and its screen was faulty. All I had to do was drop in a new/reused screen from ebay and it worked fine.

I find it interesting that the GBA seems to have the same perspective correction issue that the PS1 had. I didn't even know there were this many 3D polygonal titles on the GBA until today. The only one I previously knew of was the Super Monkey Ball port. Great video. Edit: I also noticed the GBA uses a mesh for transparencies and shadows rather than actual transparencies like the PS1. The Saturn used the same technique. I guess one could say as far as 3D is concerned it has the less desirable traits of both the PS1 and Saturn hardware, lol. Granted the mesh transparencies hardly matter on a tiny portable screen however.

Was happy to see dark arena on here. I remember being impressed when I picked the game up out on a whim.
