The GBA’s sound chip was pretty limited for sure but that didn’t stop composers from making auditive masterpieces.
Well, here's the strange thing. Technically, the GBA never had a dedicated sound chip. They technically turned the GBA''s CPU into a 8- bit DAC to run the sound for it. Which is probably why it sounds so compressed and scratchy at times. I think Game Sack can give you better details than I could.
@@sguinn91 Maybe Nintendo did this to make the sound chip cheaper to produce, after all it's a 2001 handheld, so they must have had some difficulties.
@@joaofernandes9756 Maybe so, but it was still kind of cool to hear something that sounds like real instruments at that time on a handheld while also maintaining the sound of the Original Game boy and Game Boy Color. Man, I miss it.
@@sguinn91 No, the GBA has 2 8-bit hardware DACs with built in timers to tell the CPU when new samples are needed. The only time the CPU really has to do much work is when mixing more than 2 samples down into to 1 or 2.
And yet, to me, that is what makes it so special.
The Castlevania GBA trilogy is still godly after all these years!
It seems like the GBA games in most given series are always the best. Mega Man, Sonic, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Castlevania, etc.
@Luigi Aprea indeed, it had a great game repertory
@@agreedboarart3188 you think king of swing is the best DK game?
God I miss the Gamecube/GBA era...
Why miss it? Still playable. Go get a Gamecube and/or GBA if you haven't gotten any. I've just played Secret of Mana for the SNES, and I missed out. Relive those classics in modern day.
Glad to see MOTHER 3 is number one where is belongs, its soundtrack is legendary
This isn’t a list nor a ranking
I loved the gba sound despite it being lower fidelity, it kinda felt like a retro platform before retro became really popular, the sound quality is in line between the nes and snes but with much greater levels of experience with these types of sound profiles
I tend to think of it as a superior Master System/NES console because some games on the system sound very much like 8-bit hardware but advanced to include a few PCM channels for sampled sound on top of the PSG, the Sonic Advance series, Puyo Pop Fever and Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival are notorious for using the PSG squares and sawtooths in a heavy dose over the sampled channels making the music sound vastly inferior to what is heard in these games in this video which is amazing! The music in this video comes from games that use the pcm channels more making the music sound superior.
Hot damn what a great selection, and you went above and beyond to incorporate footage from the games themselves! GBA= best system ever!
I 100% agree with you !!
As do I
Mother 3 really hasn't aged a day. It could easily pass for a modern pixel art RPG.
The GBA was like a swansong of mainstream hardware designed purely for 2D games, and its clear a lot of developers had fun giving it a go one more time...
Its to the point that even licensed games managed to be decent at times...
💯💯💯i agree
Technically the GBA could handle 3D games too. Asterix and Obelix xxl has PS1 quality graphics.
Zero 2, Advance 1, Amazing Mirror... such amazing games.
Man the GBA had some great games on it! Some of my absolutely favorite gaming experiences were on that device: Fire Emblem? I must have put 80 hours into that game. FF6 I played for the first time on that device. Minish Cap? 'Nuff said. Ahh so many great memories.
As I get older the memories seem to fade. It's not until I'm reminded by things like these videos they come back. And never like they used to be. It's like looking through a window that keeps getting more foggy. Sometimes you can wipe some fog away but you can't ever see the full view.

A GBA playlist isn't complete without Mega Man Zero tracks.
What a system the GBA was!
The way that Stickerbrush Symphony on GBA makes your brain fill in the blanks with the missing nots is so clever.
Your music collections from different systems are the best compilations i've seen in years. So much respect!
Man the first iridion and megaman battle network series have certified original bangers and not just one or 2. Surprised thats not on here, but stickerbrush symphony is.
Aw, nothing from the Megaman Battle Network series? There are a few gems in those games.
The OST for those games absolutely SLAPS, I can't believe nothing from there was on this list
@@MadCyantist yep
Megaman Zero is just considered the better OST.... I guess... Hey atleast Megaman was ackowledged somewhat?
@@MadCyantist SLAPS harder than my dad
For mentioning Aria of Sorrow and Minish Cap only earns my like.
Excluding Aria of Sorrow from any GBA list is a mortal sin! XD
@@shenloken2 Oh hell yeah!
Castlevania music is one of the most iconic in video game history. But MY GOD, Golden Sun has by FAR the best soundtrack i heard, and ON GBA AS WELL:O
Venus Lighthouse is not the best one in my opinion, Sol Sanctum, Aqua Rock are for me the best of them.
Mother 3 is better.
What amazes me most about Golden Sun is how much they could place into a GBA game in just 2001 alone, the graphics and music are all just phenomenal.
i just want to say that is very hard to classify the Castlevania Harmony of dissonance ost because even thought is a gba game it uses a gbc sound chip,great video btw
I finally managed to find a list that included Mother 3. Woah.
Excellent playlist ! This is retro sound at its best. The Castlevania songs are so good.
I didn't see GBA coming, good work man, i love these and please don't stop they get me through my work days.
Came here to see if Golden Sun's masterpiece soundtrack was represented, and was not disappointed :p
Man there isn't a single game on this list I haven't finished, such selection was like a big punch in my face, nostalgia sold me hard now! Congratz
I would love one of these for the original Game Boy
2:57 Best Castlevania don't @ me!
:D
omg, great video! congratulations
Awesome music!
Thank GOD Mother 3 is on here. And as the last one too!
mad respect man for doing this
Wow that's good man miss those old times.
I always think Sonic Advance 3 Chaos Angel act 1 or 3 will make on a list of the best GBA music
thank you for this
Good stuff! Would love any song from Banjo pilots or Tony Hawk pro skater on the list tho. Guess you can't get everything. Thank you for posting these awesome game track compilations on youtube! True hero
24:46 omg this is one of my favorite games
Nice choices :)
All of the Pokemon RSE battle music are fire.
WOOOW STICKERBRUSH SYMPHONY SOUNDS GREAT
Wow really a very nice soundtracks here.
Subbed in the hope that you compile another GBA set list. ;)
Sonic Advance - Egg Rocket is by far my favorite GBA soundtrack out there, with Pokemon RSE - Rival Battle in second and Mario Kart Super Circuit - Cheese Land in third.
I was in the sixth grade when most of these came out. It was a great time. Sonic Advance was my first, with Yoshi's Island. Puzzle League that came with Dr. Mario, had some great original tracks too.
Buddy. I really wish the main theme for Wario Land 4 was in here.
came to say this lol
wario land 4 has one of my favorite soundtracks in general, sad they didnt include it in this list
@@tumbletunes3101 same man
Hell yeah, Megaman Zero baby!
Before you make a sequel of this (assuming you haven't made one already), I'd seriously consider giving the soundtrack to Bomberman Tournament a listen. The soundtrack as a whole is all good stuff but the two songs that stand out in my mind are the Arctic Valley and Deadly Bomber Battle themes.
Battle Of Hope - FFTA brings back of my childhood
Спасибо.
2:57
Oh look, it's me xD
Golden Sun is on the list, i can now approve of this.
The whole GS soundtrack deserves a list of it's own. Motoi Sakuraba is a GOD.
Also, GBA Castlevanias were the shit
This makes me emotional :
Surprised this list doesn't include anything from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, but its still good
Jess' and Flak's theme songs from Advance Wars 2: Black Hole rising are also bangers :D
Спасибо за подборку! Будет подобная по Nintendo DS?
Nice.
Emerald has a great soundtrack, but...
Red Rescue Team is the best GBA OST ever
Y’all sleeping on Mario Kart Super Circuit. Top 3 soundtrack in the whole series.
Yesses but I also like Sonic Advance music, I grew up with both Super Circuit and Sonic advance
*sees megaman zero twice*
Honestly, not surprised
Wade Hixton's Counter Punch (and the best song in the game at that)? That's a deep cut, man
Golden Sun, Fire Emblem, Riviera ❤️ the psp version of Fierce Clash is great too
O melhor dos melhores
Thae gba could hold that kind of "3d" cutscenes? That Kingdom Hearts part blew my mind
Could definitly use more Megaman Zero (especially 3 and 4)
maybe next time
Mega man zero has an awesome ost for sure
YUS
POKEMON!!
I ended here and yeah such really good soundtrack, missing at least one from django from 2 or 3
GBA is the 2nd best SNES console!
It's the second best SNES console? How does that make sense?
SNES is the best console, GBA is the best handheld. Retro gaming 4ever! \m/
+Alex Olmsted There are too many SNES and NES ports to him I guess.
The GBA Isn't the SNES
@@BrunoidGames asshole
What!! you didnt include the venus` lighthouse song from Golden Sun? That song is legendary!!
It's in there...
Braaaaaambles! Best DK track
27:33
It hears like a nes music with VCR6 external soundchip, like the castlevania III version with the VCR6.
It sounds like that because a couple of high quality songs in the game took a lot of space, so the rest of the songs have to use single cycle waveforms
Huh, never knew Ridley's theme was in fusion...its kinda hard to hear it over its.....dulcet...tones -_-
Sinister sundown is great!!!
AND DONT YOU FORGET IT!
castlevania circle of the moon is the bet
You guys need to go listen to “Zoids Legacy” battle theme ! One of the best song in all gba list
25:27 installing wad files on the wii again.
???
@@zzz43344 you haven't homebrewed your wii???
@@DlcEnergy Yeah I have, but what I'm asking is what does that timestamp have to do with that?
@@zzz43344 have you not used wad manager 1.7 before? ua-cam.com/video/AxOs15kfDQ0/v-deo.html
Why is the version you used for Spillers Harbor from Banjo Kazooie:Grunty's revenge not the original GBA one?
10/10
Will you make a GB/GBC compilation ?
maybe...
And a master system/game gear compilation ? Maybe it's not a good idea because there's not a lot of awesome OST with this soundchip... And I find it sounds flat... What do you think about it ?
Not everyone will like. But there are good soundtracks: Sonic, Ninja Gaiden, Wonder Boy III, Golvellius, Phantasy Star and more. Maybe I will do. I can not promise.
Hey Spybionic. What sort of program do you use to make these videos?
Sony Vegas
Thank you.
FE trilogy as well. Not quiet SNES/SFC level but a great successor to the gb color
If you pick an Emerald song, why not the Champion themeeeeeeeeeee
Sims Urbz has a sweet RnB soundtrack.
30:06
It's Sonic's instruments !
yeah wtf gba.. lol
I mean the sound is handled by the CPU. If waveforms free up cycles for other things, I'm not complaining (unless asked about Sonic Genesis for GBA, which just became that much worse for it).
Retrogamer Feminist it does sound like it came from a genesis
Golden Sun the best RPG for GBA
I'm surprised nothing from wario land 4 appears, or is it just my nostalgia
Rhythm Tengoku should’ve been here.
i came here just to see if pkmn gen 3 and mother 3 was here
super robot wars had some bangers
I have Egg Rocket and on my phone! It was sooooooo hard tho
the gba brought us advance wars and mother 3
Вот бы подборку с оригинальным Гейм Боем / Гейм Бой Колором!
So is gba music considered 16 bit or what? I can’t seem to find anywhere that tells me.
I think I remember reading it being 32 bit. Which I find strange, as it sounds very similar to the SNES.
You forget Shrek Swamp Kart Speedway title screen music!!!
only ONE sonic game on this list?
Mother 3 is the best.
my people
David Wise is a legend. the DKC music is so memorable, especially the underwater areas
Aight all I'm gonna say is ....... Where tf is Legacy of Goku 2's West City?
