I remember getting FF Tactics Advance as a birthday present when I was a kid, and I was disappointed at first because I had actually asked for a different FF game but my mum had gotten them mixed up. But I'm so glad she did, because I absolutely loved that game!

If you ever want to play a similar game, you should check out Tactics Ogre: Knights of Lodis. It was the last game Quest made in the Ogre Saga series before Square Enix bought them out and had them make FFTA.

i feel like i'm the only one who finds super mario world extremely boring. smb3 was so fun and had so many different power ups and stuff, and after that smw just felt so bland to me. i loved yoshi's island though, it added unique new gameplay and has the most amazing backgrounds i've seen in a 16 bit side scroller by far.

@@Jack_80 I mean honestly I do think it's probably you man. SMW had a ton of hidden shortcuts and endless ways to explore the levels with the Yoshi's. The world was so damn charming but the key win more than anything is the soundtrack. I think SMW has the best soundtrack in the series by a very long shot it just invigorates me to keep going. SMB3 was a great game but dying in it honestly irks me because for whatever dumbass reason the GBA version doesn't let you save wherever you want. And dying in that game is much easier than in SMW because the game legit does have challenge. I love it's world and secrets but I can rarely feel the want to pick it up and dive in ya know?

Just finished circle of the moon I have 98 percent complete which sucks cause that means I have to run around and hit every wall lol I also got all the cards. This games best feature to me is the blending of old school castlevania with the new metroidvania type castlevania games like symphony. You move and attack like the classics and there is no shop(didn't like that at first but kind liked how it increased difficulty) but it has nonlinear castle map design as well as a leveling system and introduces magic attack again this time done a lil different and yeah I have my problems with system, the extremely low drop rate coupled with no way of knowing which enemies holds one can be pretty frustrating also how it won't say the move till you use the effect once (a whole segment is dedicated to these special power moves but never tells you ingame how to use them and it's kind of a long motion.. plus controls could be in the manual which I didn't get and if so i take it back) but it's highs outlay the lows and having played lots of 2d castlevania this one did a great job of standing out and made a strong impression. Oh and mega man. Battle network 4 that is all

I subscribed a few weeks ago after lurking on this channel for over a year. Now on a MJR marathon! Love the channel and great selection of GBA games! One of my favorite systems of all time. Think I'll go play Zero Mission again now haha.

Golden Sun was amazing! First game I had to use a walk-through for.

I gotta say, this is a *great* list! I haven't played all the games on your top ten, but of the ones I have, I agree with you that they're all amazing. Astro Boy: Omega Factor probably tops my own personal list.

My favorites in no particular order are: The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past/Four Swords Wario Land 4 Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3 Mario Kart Super Circuit Dragon Ball Z Buu's Fury Golden Sun & TLA Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga Mario VS Donkey Kong Dragon Ball Z Legacy of Goku 2

What I like about these non-conventional best games lists is that we get a chance to discover good games we might not have heard of before.

Metal Jesus!!! I'm a huge fan! Love what you do bro!

I always had a very special place in my heart for Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon. Great game

Mega Man Zero, Gunstar Super Heroes, Drill Dozer are some of my faves on the system! Very underrated in my opinion.

My favorite GBA game definitely comes down to either Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team or Metroid: Zero Mission. Red Rescue Team was the first game I ever owned (and an outstanding game by itself), which pretty much guarantees it a top spot, but Zero Mission is so fun and replayable that it's hard to choose between the two.

I dont know why I love this much this channel haha, even though you always come with about 2-3 games I would never play in my life. Your taste for games is quite varied and thats interesting.

My game came in at number 3 let's goo! Nice list I really want to try golden sun.

Nice Video. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - I still play this game sometimes. Over 400 hours or so I played it... I never got to finish the 300 missions though - yet.

My top five: 5. Spiderman 4. Yoshi's island 3. Doom 2. Doom II 1. Batman Begins. This is one of the few good movie games. It incorporated stealth, you got awesome gadgets, it was amazing. Ironically, since this game was hard I never got that far, my favorite part was training with Ra's Al Ghul and in my #1 game of all time, Batman Arkham City, my favorite part was also training with Ra's Al Ghul. Great game. Highly recommended.

You said "No Pokemon". This prompted me to immediately thumbs up the video. :) Good list overall I think. I only ever had the original GBA so I never got very much into it since playing it was a pain (no backlight) and it's hard for me to justify buying multiple versions of a console only to play the same games. But I'd prefer a Micro over an SP just because they are easier to hold and my hands wouldn't be *quite* so close together. Holding the original GBA was great it's just that I couldn't see anything!

GOLDEN SUN IS SO GOOD.

I bought the one I had specifically to play the CastleVania games. The Game Boy Player on the GameCube was fantastic. Always nice to play games on a big screen.

My favorite GBA games were: Sonic Advance 3, Motocross Maniacs Advance, Urbz: Sims in the City, Idirion 2, Banjo and Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, Tak 2: The staff of Dreams, and Jimmy Neutron vs Jimmy Negatron.
