@@Synthematix I agree with you, that is one of the reasons i think gba isn't that good (not saying it is bad). There are few games i have some interest.
Golden Sun is such an underrated game! I have both of the games and I will spend an entire day just playing them on my SP and Advanced just to feel like a kid again. I may be in college right now but these games deserve to be played over and over again! I've played them 15 times now and I'm going on my 16th and it's still fun! ROCK ON GOLDEN SUN!
I had so much anticipation built up for New Dawn after playing the GBA games. It's not that the game was bad but, that I allowed myself to have false expectations. As a result I wasn't able to enjoy this game as much as I could have probably. Same thing happened with Children of Mana when it came out.
Honestly, I'm surprised that Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town didn't make it on this list, since it's arguably the most entertaining and in-depth game that also remains true to it's core values as a Harvest Moon game, you could easily lose many, many hours to playing this addictive title, with how it not only made farming fun, but also feel gratifying in the long run!
I've been thinking of getting Mineral Town on my emulator. I already have Magic Melody on the wii, and quite enjoy it. Do you think I'd like Mineral Town?
@@Bondubras get mineral town. It takes a little work to learn the clunky controls and button shortcuts, and it has those weird Japanese to English mistranslations, but it's a really great game i lost countless hours to
+av4d Its hard as shit though. Sure that isn't against the rules of the video but i legit own the translation BUT GET THIS. YOU CAN'T GET PAST THE SECOND BOSS IT HAS AN ABSURDLY HIGH HEALTH OH WHATS THAT YOU DID LIKE 500 DAMAGE FROM THUNDERBOMBS? TOO FUCKING BAD CAUSE ITS GONE!
GBA games emulates nicely to mobile phones. I would have never experienced such nice games as Pokémon if it weren't for emulators. Developers should officially bring all these games to mobile now.GBA is long dead but its games are still 100x times better than top google play games today...
Prakash Singh no everyone is going to have a tendency to mess up the controls on their mobile device, the physical controls of an actual gameboy won't mess you up in games like mario bros
It might make me sound like a wimp but Metroid fusion had a crazy good eerie atmosphere. Especially considering the hardware. It legitimately creeped me out when it showed the copy of samus bust through that wall and zooms in on her face. Those eyes...
The atmosphere made me so uncomfortable that I didn't want to go anywhere because I knew the SA-X was following me... I still haven't completed the game because of the atmosphere creeping me out... Not to mention the SA-X encounters brings me to near heart attack levels of stress and panic, and that God forsaken music that plays when the SA-X is in the same room with you.
im glad watch mojo appreicated golden sun its such a underrated series but the original 2 literally provided me with over 500 hours of gameplay, the 3rd installment on the DS wasn't as good as the originals but was still fun and put over 100 hours into that one.
+Raheem Plummer Agreed. Surprised Megaman Zero wasn't on here. That shit was flawless. Golden Sun is amazing, too, though, totally deserved the spot. Fire They usually don't get many great games on their lists and go for shit.

Soon as I saw the video title, immediately Golden Sun popped up 1st in my mind. Even played it about a year ago on my PC using an emulator, what a timeless game.
I feel that Golden Sun is a very underrated franchise. The first 2 games were incredible, some of the best games I've ever played on any console to date. The third one for the DS was excellent as well, but the cliffhanger at the end still has me anxiously waiting for a fourth game. Hopefully it comes eventually, because Golden Sun is much too amazing to give up on
dude i totally agree with you i have prob put more than 1000 hours on the first 2 combined have done more than 30+ playthroughs on each, only played the DS version 3 times but it was still fun.
LotR: The Return of the King, a fantastic hack n slash game with great replay value, essentially a portable Diablo with all the lore and items from Tolkien's world!
Golden Sun and Golden Sun the Lost Age were amazing rpg games. I love them so much♡ But... anybody knows Klonoa? That game was a part of my childhood uwu♡
damm i've played a lot of klonoa, it was such an unique game, a somewhat puzzle game that transformed your enemies into part of the puzzle was so unique to me, i'm surprised that not many people know the game...
frozendonut bf If you have never played advance wars before I would recommend trying it out. I only mention this because anyone who has not played it are the only people who would put fire emblem above it as a strategy game.
darklight002 I actually played advanced wars before trying out fire emblem and even though the gameplay is way better as it dosent rely so much on the bullshit luck like Fe it lacks story and characters which for me matters a lot because I kinda lost my drive to play advance ward after the campaign,great game though and I'm sure there's people out there that don't need a story tob play the shit out of a game but that's just me

Alt Yup, with all the collectibles, all the clever use of specific powerups and even the help of the other 3 kirbies, Amazing Mirror is by far the best Kirby game in all the series. Less child-friendly, but not necessarily bad because of it.

Sir. Elias Seppuku sounds painful.I too much rather subject myself to countless hours of the tedium of sudoku as an outlet for my frustration of Mother 3 not being mentioned.
For me it's the opposite. I don't have any good game at all for my Gameboy Advance. :-/ The best game I have is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets...
I'm so happy that Metroid: Fusion was on this list. I saw in the honorable mentions that MegaMan Battle Network 2 was on there and I just wanted to note that I personally think MegaMan Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar should have been on the top 10 list. The action on it overall is fast paced and my goodness the final boss was an absolute treat.
Ugh, so many complaints I have -.- 1. Pokémon gen 3 should've been way higher on the list. 2. Megaman 3 should've been added, or any of them for that matter. 3. The Sonic Advance series is only an honorable mention? The soundtrack to 2 and 3 are enough to put them on the list, even if it was 8 or 9. 4. "One game per franchise". 2 Mario games in the list, and one as honorable mention? franchise should be one Mario game, *period*. Not different Mario series'. :P
The chances af a top 10 list that everyone agrees on is very slim. Since there are as many different opinions as there are people on this planet. That being said, I definitely agree that Pokémon deserves a higher spot.
lol i hacked the DBZ The legacy of Goku - DBZ Buu's Fury cuz iam tired of doing some quest after i did that i regret so much i said to my self well bull sh1t cuz i have every thing on the game and i get bored playing it .
This is probably the best of your top tens. I have nothing to disagree with. All my top ten favorites are one this list. I'd have the change the order around just a bit, but perfect otherwise. Well done !!
I think pokemon Emerald was the best. Best music of the series, revelutionary graphics and animations as well as everyone at school owning it... Good memories of an eight year-old doing nothing but playing pokemon... But that's just me.
Turok Evolution, Gunstar Super Heroes, Metal Slug Advance, Back To Stone, Ghost Rider, Tekken Advance, Street Fighter Alpha 3, KoF Ex2, Splinter Cell, James Bond, Doom 2
We need golden sun remakes for the 3ds or N3ds, you know, make them one game, re-do dark dawn, bring back the mutiplayer battle feature, maybe with online capabilities, multiple modes, easy (dark dawn difficulty) normal, and hard (enemies are higher leveled, and have way better A.I. (stone solider i'm looking at you, fans will understand this), rare item are harder to get, puzzles are harder, band you get an exp reduction, new djinn locations, I want to see this series revived. Maybe call it Golden Sun: The "New" Age. Spread this comment, spread the word, Camelot, we want golden sun remakes. Admit it, dark dawn sucked, they need to know why, we want... no we need to see this story through the end, there is still time, don't wake up one day and wonder...What if?
I loved it, yes it has its short comings, all games do, but for its time, it was amazing, and the biggest GBA game ever, if you count both, which you should
I knew Mother 3 wouldn't make since it's stuck in Japan but to me Mother 3 is the King of GBA games. 3 words: Strange, Funny Heartrending. Go play Mother 3!!
Brandon Williams ya see i would go play it but i dont like turnbased rpgs. i gave a bunch of them a chance when i first got my emulator.. dem hoes boring... i only like pokemon and advenced wars so nawww i aint gonna go try it
+Tray G the people who made mother/earthbound made pokemon. it also came out years before red/blue/green. theres even a item called bag of dragonite that makes you very strong. honestly im just discovering it but to me its not about which is better but i admit im liking it more. pokemon ive played too much and almost all of them.
I've been a Gameboy Advance owner for 11 years and only own one of these titles, that being Pokemon Emerald, which I got from a friend. I'm not saying that these are bad games, just that I wasn't lucky enough to own any of them.
+Joao Pedro I adore Friends of Mineral Town. I didn't befriend the Harvest Sprites so I guess I made things a bit harder for myself. I had loaned a friend my copy of Trace Memory, and forgot that my copy of Friends of Mineral Town was in the case. Well my friend's DS and games were stolen and he refused to pay me back. I didn't really care about Trace Memory, yes it is an amazing game, but I cared more about my save file in Friends of Mineral Town, my sister isn't that big of a fan of Harvest Moon like I am so she gave me her copy. I still miss that save file.
They are from different GAME franchises douche, Mario is the face of several game lines, but they can't be considered the same game...what can they do if Mario games are usually the top ?
at best, it speaks to the quality and diversity of the mario (what's the word for it...) microcosm? Realm? whatever. at worst, it goes to show that nintendo is a mario machine, with several plesant exceptions, but none that prove against such a matter of fact. diverse lists could be found under sony consoles moreso, i'd wager. there are quite a few different faces to play station, whereas nintendo, (and even xbox) is a little more... specific in its purview.
Warioland 4 not entering the top 10 is a real mistake. That game is probably the best mix of platformer and beat 'em up. And the only game which has a 700 pages long book written about it.
basicly "top 10 Game Boy Advance games to add to your emulator"
because everyone plays on emulators these days
Sword Gaming
+1
+Voltmander but emulators suck
Doing that.
***** they do.
Nintendo was on top of the world in the early 2000s. I miss the days of GameCube and GBA!
atually ps2 over sold the gamecube
Gamecube didnt sell great lol
Im from the future, they are making a comeback with the Nintendo Switch.
No they weren't. They were in the 80s and the 90s though. Early 2000s was the Playstation era.
Yup that’s my childhood
GOLDEN SUN will always be my #1 Gameboy Advance Game
GBA was the soul of rpgs
Because it couldnt play anything else.
GBA was the soul of gaming

Considering that there are too many lists that lack HMFoMT, should we even be surprised at all?
Mother 3 is one of the best GBA games. I understand it not being on this list, with it not being released outside of Japan and all.
they go with the majority
+av4d Its hard as shit though.
Sure that isn't against the rules of the video but
i legit own the translation
BUT GET THIS.
YOU CAN'T GET PAST THE SECOND BOSS
IT HAS AN ABSURDLY HIGH HEALTH
OH WHATS THAT YOU DID LIKE 500 DAMAGE FROM THUNDERBOMBS? TOO FUCKING BAD CAUSE ITS GONE!
markusjahr I had no problem with the bosses honestly. But I tend to be the high level grinding and good-item-conservation type.

Golden Sun was one of my favorite series as a kid, I'm really glad that it got the respect it deserved on this list
Watching this again 5 years later in 2019, those are still the top 10 GBA games!
There are no new GBA games anymore, so...
It might make me sound like a wimp but Metroid fusion had a crazy good eerie atmosphere. Especially considering the hardware. It legitimately creeped me out when it showed the copy of samus bust through that wall and zooms in on her face. Those eyes...
The atmosphere made me so uncomfortable that I didn't want to go anywhere because I knew the SA-X was following me... I still haven't completed the game because of the atmosphere creeping me out...

+Toren Howell blame the time restriction and low budget for GS3 to fail :(
yeah hopefully they will taking their time with the 4th one.
Toren Howell "if" there is gonna be a 4th one... it hasn't been confirmed that they're working on a new game in the series so far :/
well at the end of the 3rd game there was a to be continued at the end, making it pretty obvious there gonna be a new one.
+Toren Howell I think there is a petition for the 4th game to be made.
Fire Emblem and Advance Wars is on this list.
This list was actually pretty good.
Sidar Erdem Yes it is.
Sidar Erdem I've heard of it. In fact. I think my brother played that game.
I like fess more
+Raheem Plummer Agreed. Surprised Megaman Zero wasn't on here. That shit was flawless. Golden Sun is amazing, too, though, totally deserved the spot. Fire They usually don't get many great games on their lists and go for shit.
Lol they had the golden sun soundtrack for the honorable mentions
Well golden sun music is the best so..
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow well deserved! By far the finest game on the gba. So much replay value and depth. Happy to see Golden Sun at #2 as well.
FINALLY! A list that recognises the incredible saga that is Golden Sun!!
I loved that game but as a kid I always got stuck at the saturos fight on the big tower..sorry I don't know the name of it anymore :(
Karl Schnorrman Mercury Tower?
Hiffchakka Yeah it's the mercury tower where you first encounter saturos alone
Jamie Ramshaw The first one is, yes.
Yes, the Merkur-Leuchtturm... After the thirth reload Ive finished him
I am VERY happy the Golden Sun games are on this list. LOVED THEM!
me too hahha
I second that, Golden Sun is easily one of the most underrated RPG series of all time, I cant wait for the 4 entry in the series.
Yep it's very underrated it's like a hidden gem. it's a game that made my childhood as gamer ;D
Metroid Fusion and zero mission were sooo good!
JoeyLo yes man , these games were Gold ...
@@kimiguya9099 no they were grey! *Funny drum noise*
Aria of Sorrow is a classic. The music, gameplay, and graphics make it a number one for sure. Glad to see my favorite GBA title made number 1.

yup, specially metroid, golden sun and castlevania

I completely agree... The Golden Sun Franchise is something I want to see through till the end.
Golden Sun Should be number one on the list, Aria of sorrow is great but not as epic as golden sun was on GBA
Astro Boy: Omega Factor should be on the list. That game was so unfairly overlooked in the GBA's lifetime it's practically criminal. It was amazing.
Dang. I heard that game was cool...
LotR: The Return of the King, a fantastic hack n slash game with great replay value, essentially a portable Diablo with all the lore and items from Tolkien's world!
Golden Sun and Golden Sun the Lost Age were amazing rpg games. I love them so much♡
But... anybody knows Klonoa?
That game was a part of my childhood uwu♡
Nath Villacreses the beginning of golden sun was so boring but the rest amazing
damm i've played a lot of klonoa, it was such an unique game, a somewhat puzzle game that transformed your enemies into part of the puzzle was so unique to me, i'm surprised that not many people know the game...
I was just trying to think of that game and you named it ....WOW...it was actually one of the best games in history.
uwu
Specially Golden Sun The Lost Age is Awesome loved it so much
Megaman Battle Network 3 was my all time favorite GBA game. The style changes, the chip folders and MEGAMAN. It was so epic.
MOTHER 3. I would love to see them make a list of the best GameBoy Advance games only released in Japan.
I remember buying Metroid Fusion and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow at the same time. Playing those two games back to back was amazing!

metroid fusion should be number one, not a metroid fan but that game was simply flawless
But Golden Sun was better than Metroid Fusion.
soulhunter59 Golden Sun is an RPG. Metroid Fusion is a Action-Plattformer. Its hard to compare these two. But hey! They are both *AWESOME* :D
I prefer Metroid: Zero Mission, but Fusion is good too. Beat both at least 3 times.
BucketNinja Golden Sun needs a tad bit more attention from the devs. I was appalled at how little representation it got when Brawl was released.
***** HAWL NAW
One of the few WM top 10 which I actually agree with.
nice list watchmojo my top 3 would be would be:
1 golden sun (1 & 2)
2 pokemon (emerald & saphire)
3 fire emblem (the sacred stone)
Yeahhh Golden Sun as number 1
frozendonut bf hum, 3.2.1 for me XD but same top 3....
frozendonut bf If you have never played advance wars before I would recommend trying it out. I only mention this because anyone who has not played it are the only people who would put fire emblem above it as a strategy game.
darklight002 as a straight strategy game, but fire emblem definitely has a better story and more character dept.
darklight002 I actually played advanced wars before trying out fire emblem and even though the gameplay is way better as it dosent rely so much on the bullshit luck like Fe it lacks story and characters which for me matters a lot because I kinda lost my drive to play advance ward after the campaign,great game though and I'm sure there's people out there that don't need a story tob play the shit out of a game but that's just me

They were way better than 3 or battle
Daniel Jackson Then make your own list, lol. This is just mine. Not saying it's factual.
The 3 Hoenn games deserve to be in the Top 3 at least. When I first completed it, I took more than 100 hours!

Squaderman Gaming I agree with you, AND WHY DIDN'T KIRBY AMAZING MIRROR AT LEAST GET A HONORABLE MENTION???
Squaderman Gaming what! not there!
Squaderman Gaming
Up your ass
I agree wtf
In metriod fusion 4:38 that scene scared me shitless when I was a kid. Before Amnesia and resident evil 4 there was SA-X.
Don't forget about Nightmare, the face-melting robot claw-animal... thing...
Proud to say I had everything on this list :D
Actually have*
For me it's the opposite. I don't have any good game at all for my Gameboy Advance. :-/ The best game I have is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets...
Nice bro
I still think Emerald is the best Pokemon game ever made. Incredibly innovative, breathtaking visuals, a great story...just awesome.
Metroid Fusion was amazing I believe it’s on every list of best games of gba, it’s just too amazing
God I love golden sun my most favorite game when I was child my gosh nostalgia I want it on 3ds simulator
Same bro..same
Golden Sun and Golden Sun:The Lost Age....FOREVER!!!!!
mario and luigi: superstar saga- the game where peach literally drops the "F" bomb
GOLDEN SUN!!! :D Oh I love this game so much! For me it was the best GBA game!
Isaac needs to be in smash :(
At least you can see him in Flash.
Dead series and dead game
What about Mother 3?
That's just what I said!
know ones ever heard of that game cuz nintendo doesnt like to give their customers what they ask for
egosactor .co Explain why Lucas is in Brawl, then.
ThatOneWubbzy oh yea you're right lol, tbh I bet they're in the works of translating it for western audiences as we speak.
It shouldnt take long at all. especially if fans have already done it.
Mother 3 should have been number one or at least the honorable mentions.
Totally agree. It's such a beautiful yet underrated game.
I completely agree but it's possible that he's never heard of it being that it wasn't localized beyond the fan translation.
I fully agree.
Mother 3 is a great game indeed, even by today's standards. But while It'd certainly be in the TOP 3, Golden Sun would still be a step above.
that right
I'm so happy that Metroid: Fusion was on this list. I saw in the honorable mentions that MegaMan Battle Network 2 was on there and I just wanted to note that I personally think MegaMan Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar should have been on the top 10 list. The action on it overall is fast paced and my goodness the final boss was an absolute treat.
Too bad the final boss was too hard in Battle Network 4 I raged quit after dying like 30 fucking times I kid you not
Golden sun will always on the bottom of my heart forever
advance wars is freaking awesome. the one for the ds has an amazing story to it too
Ugh, so many complaints I have -.-
1. Pokémon gen 3 should've been way higher on the list.
2. Megaman 3 should've been added, or any of them for that matter.
3. The Sonic Advance series is only an honorable mention? The soundtrack to 2 and 3 are enough to put them on the list, even if it was 8 or 9.
4. "One game per franchise". 2 Mario games in the list, and one as honorable mention? franchise should be one Mario game, *period*. Not different Mario series'. :P
Huh,Marios game are differents.
***** still there from a franchise called Mario
Richard Vasquez By Megaman 3 I meant Megaman Zero. And no, I didn't like what you did there. lol
The chances af a top 10 list that everyone agrees on is very slim. Since there are as many different opinions as there are people on this planet. That being said, I definitely agree that Pokémon deserves a higher spot.
Sonic Advance 3 best soundtrack in a game EVER
DBZ The legacy of Goku - DBZ Buu's Fury...?
+Felipe Guzmán Buu's Fury was soooo good, I regret selling it to some kid for 5 bucks =(
lmao!
lol i hacked the DBZ The legacy of Goku - DBZ Buu's Fury cuz iam tired of doing some quest after i did that i regret so much i said to my self well bull sh1t cuz i have every thing on the game and i get bored playing it .
Luffy Ace Typical kiddo
Yea. Everyone forgot about the good DBZ games like Supersonic Warriors, Legacy of Goku II (first one was crap.), and Buu's Fury.
This is probably the best of your top tens. I have nothing to disagree with. All my top ten favorites are one this list. I'd have the change the order around just a bit, but perfect otherwise. Well done !!
Justice has been served! A Castlevania title reaches number one for a system!!
Dragon Ball Z Buu's Fury was amazing
I honestly think Metroid Fusion belongs in the top 3. One of the best videogames I've ever played!
The Golden Sun games were amazing. One of my favorite GBA games.
I think pokemon Emerald was the best. Best music of the series, revelutionary graphics and animations as well as everyone at school owning it... Good memories of an eight year-old doing nothing but playing pokemon... But that's just me.
This just turned 7 years old today!
5. Mega Man Battle Network
4. Pokemon Emerald
3. Yu-Gi-Oh Eternal Duelist Soul
2. Fire Emblem
1. Golden Sun
the only thing i hated about mmbn 1+2 is....NO CHARGE SHOT WTF😡😡😡
Nah they did so much wrong with the yugioh game...
And I would including de pokemon rescue mission
YGO! Duel Academy GX is kinda better than Eternal Duelist Soul, my opinion of course
Screw Pokemon legend of zelda
@@terryroasting1037
Isnt relevant anymore because shitty to play on emulator
So glad to see Aria of Sorrow at #1
Turok Evolution, Gunstar Super Heroes, Metal Slug Advance, Back To Stone, Ghost Rider, Tekken Advance, Street Fighter Alpha 3, KoF Ex2, Splinter Cell, James Bond, Doom 2
We need golden sun remakes for the 3ds or N3ds, you know, make them one game, re-do dark dawn, bring back the mutiplayer battle feature, maybe with online capabilities, multiple modes, easy (dark dawn difficulty) normal, and hard (enemies are higher leveled, and have way better A.I. (stone solider i'm looking at you, fans will understand this), rare item are harder to get, puzzles are harder, band you get an exp reduction, new djinn locations, I want to see this series revived. Maybe call it Golden Sun: The "New" Age. Spread this comment, spread the word, Camelot, we want golden sun remakes. Admit it, dark dawn sucked, they need to know why, we want... no we need to see this story through the end, there is still time, don't wake up one day and wonder...What if?
Some people say Golden Sun sucks I have never played it though and I might try to get for gba
I loved it, yes it has its short comings, all games do, but for its time, it was amazing, and the biggest GBA game ever, if you count both, which you should
Honestly, Dark Dawn is on par with Golden Sun 1 imo. The Lost Age tears them apart though, such a great game!
I thought super mario bros was the greatest game on gba -_- ?
Gameover Gamer Whoever told you Golden Sun is terrible really needs to go and think about their life.
Where
is
DONKEY KONG COUNTRY TRILOGY!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
They did specifically say no NES or SNES ports...
Theybwere better on on SNES anyways
I love the fact you can play most of these games now on the Switch ❤
im suprise mother 3 wasen't in the top 10
I didn't expect to find guys like me in the comments T_T
ikr
I think it was just the games released internationally.
No it's just a fan translation
i'm surprised it wasn't even a honorable mention
I used to be so good at advanced war... Would play it for hours
I knew Mother 3 wouldn't make since it's stuck in Japan but to me Mother 3 is the King of GBA games. 3 words: Strange, Funny Heartrending.
Go play Mother 3!!
I didn't expect to find someone like me in the comments T_T
Brandon Williams The Mother series is awesome, but I won't put it above Pokemon.
Brandon Williams ya see i would go play it but i dont like turnbased rpgs. i gave a bunch of them a chance when i first got my emulator.. dem hoes boring... i only like pokemon and advenced wars so nawww i aint gonna go try it
+Tray G the people who made mother/earthbound made pokemon. it also came out years before red/blue/green. theres even a item called bag of dragonite that makes you very strong. honestly im just discovering it but to me its not about which is better but i admit im liking it more. pokemon ive played too much and almost all of them.
+Tray G i agree action rpgs can be more fun for me too but turn based arent bad just depends which ones . some can be boring.
Great list! I loved most of those games!
I must be the only person who played final fantasy tactics. no way that game shouldn't be number 1
i played it too. and its on #1 in my personal gameboy advance ranking hehe
I hated it
Amazing game, though not nearly as good as the one on PS1.
I played it. I agree it should have been much higher
N1nny of course you hated it poke'mon fanboy. That game is easily one of the best.
Advanced Wars is awesome!
Best system ever.
yep
no
yes
I disagree. It's a very good system, but I think 3DS is the best system ever.
+Scurvebeard
I really love the 3DS as well! great device, but GBA is most nostalgic for me, and still holds up very well to this day!
Probably the only list online I can agree on. Every game mentioned is gold. GBA was such a solid system
I am sad that nobody recognizes hidden gems such as Rivera the Promised Land or Mother 3.
ninjanizzle They have done Japanese games to on lists
*Riviera: The Promised Land* is a *WonderSwan Color* port
Dear WatchMojo, PLEASE MAKE THE VIDEOS IN BETTER QUALITY!
I've been a Gameboy Advance owner for 11 years and only own one of these titles, that being Pokemon Emerald, which I got from a friend. I'm not saying that these are bad games, just that I wasn't lucky enough to own any of them.
You should get Golden Sun, either as a rom using a GBA emulator or find a way to buy both.
Diddy Kong I'll check it out, thanks for the suggestion
If you want an amazing game though, my game is the way to go. ;)
Light Yagami Your game?
try F-Zero GP Legend. I've played emerald aswell, but this game makes you feel really nostalgic after replaying it after a long time
Thank god Aria of Sorrow is #1. Probably the first thing I've agreed with on your top 10 videos in regards to older video games.
I really enjoyed the *_MegaMan Battle Network_* games.
Sonic Battle. I know it's a cult classic, but GOD that was a good game.
where is harvest moon: friends of mineral town ?
+Joao Pedro Best. Game. Ever.
I prefer more friends of mineral town though.
it just change the boy to girl, but still awesome, the second best game for gameboy, the first is pokemon of course
+Joao Pedro did u managed to earn the 100m to get vacation house?
+Joao Pedro I adore Friends of Mineral Town. I didn't befriend the Harvest Sprites so I guess I made things a bit harder for myself. I had loaned a friend my copy of Trace Memory, and forgot that my copy of Friends of Mineral Town was in the case. Well my friend's DS and games were stolen and he refused to pay me back. I didn't really care about Trace Memory, yes it is an amazing game, but I cared more about my save file in Friends of Mineral Town, my sister isn't that big of a fan of Harvest Moon like I am so she gave me her copy. I still miss that save file.
+Joao Pedro PBG would love it if he saw your comment. XD
Cant help but smile seeing a picture of a GBA. Makes mecso nostalgic of a time when there was no responsibilities
No Kirby? That's a damn shame, the GBA Kirby titles were arguably the best in the series.
If you are talking about amazing mirror,then yes.
kirby sucks. haha get it? no? well... im not good at coming up with jokes.
I get it
Damn it WatchMojo.
Stop putting more then one Mario game on a top 10 on a nintendo console.
Stop breaking your own rules damn it.
I think they count mario cart and mario as different franchises
They are from different GAME franchises douche, Mario is the face of several game lines, but they can't be considered the same game...what can they do if Mario games are usually the top ?
at best, it speaks to the quality and diversity of the mario (what's the word for it...) microcosm? Realm? whatever.
at worst, it goes to show that nintendo is a mario machine, with several plesant exceptions, but none that prove against such a matter of fact.
diverse lists could be found under sony consoles moreso, i'd wager. there are quite a few different faces to play station, whereas nintendo, (and even xbox) is a little more... specific in its purview.
They should stop saying "one game per franchise" and start saying "one game per SERIE!"
Michael Archer They shouldnt. Different genres are not different franchises.
Warioland 4 not entering the top 10 is a real mistake. That game is probably the best mix of platformer and beat 'em up.
And the only game which has a 700 pages long book written about it.
Golden sun really kept me going in hard times when all i had was that gameboy and so many life transitions
