Thank you! I've just modded a GBC and love your recommendations. Wendy was a friend of Casper the Friendly Ghost, I'd forgotten she existed. This has sparked both deep nostalgia from my very early childhood, and given me an excellent new platformer to play. I really appreciate it.
Great video! It’s great to see some love for some old handheld systems, and I agree that gold and silver were the best of the best when it comes to traditional Pokémon games.
One also worth mentioning is Warlocked. An amazingly cool and fun RTS from 2000! Really stunning what they managed to put together on that one cartridge. And I think you might also love Metal Gear Solid. The Gameplay is sooo well done! I'm also glad that you mentioned Toki Tori. A personal favorite of mine as well (amazing music too). ;) Made by Two Tribes (the Netherlands). It's not really "where it all began", since that's actually "Eggbert, in eggciting adventure" for the MSX (1994). But it was the first one with the name "Toki Tori".
Fun fact: Conker's Pocket Tales has a slightly different map depending if you play it on The Original Game Boy or Game boy color. Some other things are also changed like the title screen and developer logos. And you can't transfer save files between consoles.
good fuckin channel damn glad i found it, you have a very well paced video, good editing, you dont ramble needlessly, its concise. thank you for making this!
Toki Tori is probably my favorite puzzle game ever, hands down. Thanks for actually bringing up the original, whenever anyone talks about it they speak of the remake or the sequel which aren’t bad but man, they can’t beat the original. Especially with the soundtrack!
Great video Nick, Wendy:every witch way looks really good. I recon you should do a top 15 3DS games now that the system is coming tot he end of its life, would be good to see your opinion.
If you liked Wendy you should also check out the two Sabrina games. Also pretty good WayForward platformers. Toki Tori was made by two guys from the Netherlands called Two Tribes btw. Retronauts had a great interview/podcast with them if you’re interested. Sadly they don’t make games anymore.
I have both the Sabrina games too, they are good but not as original as Wendy in my opinion. That’s cool I’ll check out the retronauts episode! Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed it! :) I might do two Pokemon videos, one rating all the main line games and then maybe my favourite spin off games :) we’ll see!
I'm so happy to see Wendy every with way. I play that game soo much growing up. My mom bought me that game as a birthday gift together with Power Quest. Lol good old times I just recently bought myself a gameboy color with a light screen mod. Darn the gameboy color game now are super expensive
dragon warrior monsters and pokemon tcg were the two games i played a shitton out as a kid (besides silver edition) . i just started to collect some games since a friend of me gifted me a gameboy color again, just got me oracle of seasons and ages and theyre great games, also started to look through local electronic shops and get some nice stuff there, definitely gonna buy dragon quest monsters again. still got my original pokemon tcg cardridge but the battery died and have to order some cr1313 batteries, already repaired a pokemon game with cr2023, its alot of fun to clean those old gems up snd get them going again!
Dragon warriors monsters! Yeah! I remember my king slime healing everyone and using white lighting or white fire attacks....wow that was a long time ago. you are reviving my memories
I traded my neighbor some BMX game for Dragon Warrior Monsters as a kid (I'd never heard of it/had no idea what it was about), ended up being one of my favorite games of all time. I probably played Pokemon Silver more, but I can't really choose a favorite between the two
SaGa I, Saga II, SaGa III, Aretha, Aretha II, Aretha III, Metal Gear - Ghost Babel, Seiken Densetsu, Star Ocean - Blue Sphere, Lufia the Legend Returns, Penta Dragon, Knight Quest, Alien 3, Another Bible, Ayakashi no Shiro, Batman the Animated Series, Batman, Nettou Toshinden, Battle Unit Zeoth, Red Arrember: Makai-Mura Gaiden.
we definitely don't have the same taste in games. when i think of top GBC games, I'm thinking MGS, Alone In The Dark.. but i agree for the Zelda games. they are all pretty good.
I wanted to get GBC R-Type when I purchased the console, but I read a review that said bullets are hard to see and skipped it... "Block Game" is actually Quarth, my favourite puzzle game of all time!I liked Metal Gear Solid (Ghost Babel) until I got stuck at the "steer remote controled rockets" section. Pity.
Have you tried Metal Storm for the NES? It has the same mechanic that Wendy - Every Witch Way has so I think you would like it. I've never tried this Wendy game, but I liked Metal Storm so I think I'll give Wendy - Every Witch Way a go.
I was a kid in 1999 , Friends said get pokemon , I said nah itsa little kids game... Turned out to be a deep rpg not even easy enough for little kids lmao
Played the first Dragon Warrior Monsters and pushed that pretty far. Liked the depth but man, having to grind to make sure your boss monster breeds don't fail was tedious. At least the music was pretty chill.
I always wanted the Dragon Warriors Monster games as a kid but never got them, I managed to get a back up of Warrior 7 on ps1 back in the day and loved it but never completed it *I have since moved on to legeally owned Dragon Quest 7 on 3DS lol* good choices, Pokemon GSC is my have gen of pokemon, and them games hold a special place in my heart, I managed to score a import of Gold from America months before its release here in the UK when I was a kid. God bless the old local Chips store and its import section ;)
@Weston Meyer Tara's adventure was the 2nd one wasn't it? Also am I right in thinking it fell in to the pokemon trend one version of 2 was Tara's adventure and there was another version? - I want to say tobi's adventure but doesn't quite feel right
I found the gameplay of the first Dragon Warrior Monsters very monotonous, so I never got into the second game, unfortunately, but I'm willing to play the second games now.
Out of Pokémon gold silver and crystal, would you personally suggest picking up crystal or one of the other two? Loved the video, it was very helpful!!! 😄
It's really nice that you are actually recommending your favourite games instead of just the same 15 games everyone else recommends
Wendy: Every Witch Way was actually my first Gameboy Color game. It's such an underrated game.
Thank you! I've just modded a GBC and love your recommendations. Wendy was a friend of Casper the Friendly Ghost, I'd forgotten she existed. This has sparked both deep nostalgia from my very early childhood, and given me an excellent new platformer to play. I really appreciate it.

I love that game I still have it
Warlocked I mean
Few games I'd never heard of there.. Can't wait for the analogue pocket to come out and try to get stuck into a few! Thanks for great video as always!
Fun fact: Conker's Pocket Tales has a slightly different map depending if you play it on The Original Game Boy or Game boy color. Some other things are also changed like the title screen and developer logos. And you can't transfer save files between consoles.
Super satisfying im adicted in low quality game boy games
No one ever talks about Animorphs for GBC. Underrated to say the least!!
good fuckin channel damn glad i found it, you have a very well paced video, good editing, you dont ramble needlessly, its concise. thank you for making this!
Thank you! Definitely check some of my newer videos too, I’ve come a long way since then! :)
Toki Tori is probably my favorite puzzle game ever, hands down. Thanks for actually bringing up the original, whenever anyone talks about it they speak of the remake or the sequel which aren’t bad but man, they can’t beat the original. Especially with the soundtrack!
RetroBreak's new videos have such high audio and production quality, but the older ones are still great to revisit.
Glad my older videos are still fun to watch, despite the lower production values!
Now that you included Zelda games honor has been restored! Great selection as well!
Great list love your views on games. Love how in depth you are. Great video
Great video Nick, Wendy:every witch way looks really good. I recon you should do a top 15 3DS games now that the system is coming tot he end of its life, would be good to see your opinion.
Wendy is really cool, a very unique game for the system! I’ll definitely do my top 15 3DS games soon! :)
unironically happy to see the "Our" Type DX shoutout lmao
Havent seen your other vids but im shocked that Dragon Warrior 3 wasnt on this list. What a masterpiece
This video made me really happy thanks bro ❤
Great video and I think that game boy color games looks the most unique of the game boy games.
If you liked Wendy you should also check out the two Sabrina games. Also pretty good WayForward platformers.
Toki Tori was made by two guys from the Netherlands called Two Tribes btw. Retronauts had a great interview/podcast with them if you’re interested. Sadly they don’t make games anymore.

Excellent video, Nick! Can't wait to see your Pokemon top 10 (or 15)!
Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed it! :) I might do two Pokemon videos, one rating all the main line games and then maybe my favourite spin off games :) we’ll see!
@@RetroBreak That's a good idea! Would definitely watch :)
Conker's is great. I love the black cartridges that allow us to play on the GB, GBC or even the Super Game Boy giving 3 color pallets.
Glad to see you have Wario land 3 on here.
I'm so happy to see Wendy every with way. I play that game soo much growing up. My mom bought me that game as a birthday gift together with Power Quest. Lol good old times I just recently bought myself a gameboy color with a light screen mod. Darn the gameboy color game now are super expensive
Glad someone else remembers Conker’s Pocket Tales fondly!

Seeing this comment has made me want to play it again! :D

Pokemon Trading Card Game is so underrated. It plays so well and it's a lot of fun to experiment with good decks to meta decks at the time.
It’s a great game! Shame the 2nd one never got released outside of japan though, and no idea why they didn’t carry it onto the GBA / DS
AGREE super game
You just can't have a Top GBC list without Pokemon. Gen 2 is just great
I absolutely love your wall display! Where’d you get it?
Great video as always; top 10 (15) you can do: 3DS, Megadrive, DS or even PSP! cheers!
I plan to do all of them eventually :)
Really good Choices, I have played some of these games and they are great
SaGa I, Saga II, SaGa III, Aretha, Aretha II, Aretha III, Metal Gear - Ghost Babel, Seiken Densetsu, Star Ocean - Blue Sphere, Lufia the Legend Returns, Penta Dragon, Knight Quest, Alien 3, Another Bible, Ayakashi no Shiro, Batman the Animated Series, Batman, Nettou Toshinden, Battle Unit Zeoth, Red Arrember: Makai-Mura Gaiden.
we definitely don't have the same taste in games.

Wow awesome channel. Im glad ive found it. You just got a new sub
Thanks! Glad you found me and enjoyed the video :D
So good to see dragon warrior monster so high it's s brilliant game I really must pick up the 2nd. Great video as always 👌
The 2nd game is a great sequel definitely worth getting if you like the first one :D
Pokemon Silver/Gold was revolutionary, it was my childhood's game. Zelda was great although the content and replayability is much shorter
POKEMOM GOLD FOR THE WIN! Great video man!
I was a kid in 1999 , Friends said get pokemon , I said nah itsa little kids game... Turned out to be a deep rpg not even easy enough for little kids lmao
Played the first Dragon Warrior Monsters and pushed that pretty far. Liked the depth but man, having to grind to make sure your boss monster breeds don't fail was tedious. At least the music was pretty chill.
William Voss I think back in the day when I was playing it the grinding really didn’t bother me... had so much more time to play games back then!
I always wanted the Dragon Warriors Monster games as a kid but never got them, I managed to get a back up of Warrior 7 on ps1 back in the day and loved it but never completed it *I have since moved on to legeally owned Dragon Quest 7 on 3DS lol* good choices, Pokemon GSC is my have gen of pokemon, and them games hold a special place in my heart, I managed to score a import of Gold from America months before its release here in the UK when I was a kid.

Great video ! :)
+Shou thanks :)
I used to love Billy bobs hunting and fishing
I found the gameplay of the first Dragon Warrior Monsters very monotonous, so I never got into the second game, unfortunately, but I'm willing to play the second games now.
Yo next time can u add if they save or not? Nice vid 👍
I’ll remember to do that next time I talk about Gameboy games :)
Two of my favorite gbc games that I own are Metal Gear Solid and Survival Kids. Excellent games indeed!
Another GREAT Video Nick !!!! If you play R Type DX in the Retron 5 will it play in the color mode?? Have you tried it??
If you play it on the retron 5 you can choose to play it either in Gameboy Color or original Gameboy mode so you get both game types :)
I heard that Wario land 2 dx was a release title for color.
i agree. pokemon gold and silver (crystal too) are the best of the series. best pokemon games.
Shantae Where
Is it generally cheaper to get games at an expo than on eBay?
Usually about the same price but of course you’re not paying for shipping at an expo :)
Out of Pokémon gold silver and crystal, would you personally suggest picking up crystal or one of the other two? Loved the video, it was very helpful!!! 😄
Crystal definitely!
Wendy every witch's way so buitifull 🤤 definitely gonna play it
Put a list in the description!
Wow i didnt know there was a pokemon-type dragon quest game :O ima play that
Enjoy! And thanks for watching! :D
We still want that Wendy vid!
CANNON FODDER and ROAD RASH are amazing ports if you don't have them.
Cool, no I don’t have either of those :D will be on the lookout for them at the next retro market!
Here's my top 10, you'll get to see some footage of both:
ua-cam.com/video/-OHEtfkCqBo/v-deo.html
why noone talks about survival kids
Metal gear ghost babel? Castlevania Circle of the moon? Metroid Fusion? 😕
You are thinking of GBA?
@@RetroBreak ah yes, my bad, only metal gear
My favorite game for the GBC is wario land 3
I hope I get a gameboy
Muito bom!
Where’s metal gear solid? Lol
