Great memories. I bought it when I was in East Germany on a month long training exersize. Made those -15 degree nights in a tent more bearable.
I love the GBA, but I swear everywhere I look, I can't find a place to buy it for under $150
Dude.
It's worth using a GBA since the release date in 2001.
Even the non backlight model.
Because the console and most of the 2D (and 3D) games are LEGENDARY !!!
Agreed, the games were top notch!
You can literally play Doom on that thing
I love the GBA with the IPS display, I've been looking into get one for myself.
My Dudeeeeeeeeee missed you...GBA is the ultimate handheld for me and probably for you ~AWESOME GAMES ~ Enjoy my man, Ill buy one me too for sure
I grow also up with the old DMG. I loved playing on it. My all time favorite game is Super Mario Land 2 - The six golden coins.
That was also my first gameboy game!
Pokemon Gold, Silver and Metal Gear Solid were pretty stellar for the capabilities of the original handheld.
I passed on it, but eventually got the gba sp. Having a back lit screen was great 😊
Yeah the backlit screen ... Finally was a big upgrade.
Don't understand why it took so long to do that.
Yeah, GBA SP was the definitive Gameboy in my opinion: backlit screen, played everything, and folded into a little square that you could slip in your back pocket like wallet. Combine one of those babies with an Everdrive or multicart and you are set.
@@WickedGamerCollector I think they were afraid of the lack of battery life. The SP had a lithium battery not AA.
Still have my original GBA, just recently did a shell swap to it with a translucent orange shell with blue buttons (aka The Goku). Also got the Game Station 2022 GBA clone, it has TF support which is nice but no matter the region the rom is it plays them all at 50hz but still fully playable. The listing says 5180 games but it's judt the 2022 version
I had this one back in the day and it was amazing I remember I got really addicted to Mario kart, even today I still go and play back some games via emulation, for instance I used to love the NES but other than nostalgia most games don't really keep me interested anymore, the GBA still has games that make me genuinely want to play them and even found some hidden gems that wish I had back in the day like guilty gear, cant believe they made a port that actually plays the same as the original and the crappy graphics and 8 bit soundtrack rather than make it look and sound worst it adds to the charm!
A little older than the GB but I did buy one when it came out, had all the lights and screen magnifiers and it was gigantic, lol. My last real handheld before emulation was the GB Advance. I loved that thing!
I had the GameGear and the...Nomad, I think it was.
@@Citizen_Sinister The Nomad... ow man that is so freaking awesome.
@@WickedGamerCollector It was, I wish I still had that thing, to think of all the stuff I had at one point and got rid of that I would just about kill for now. It's crazy!
I wanted one, but couldn’t afford one. I love that I can play this stuff on emulation.
Cool? You’d have blown my mind in 1977 with these things!
They we're cool handhelds for sure. Had ome great not just console but arcade ports aswell 👍
This is probably my fourth favorite handheld. I love the design. I think the micro was slightly better. I like that one over the SP. 369 in 1 is probably the only multicart worth buying. The thing about ez flash is that you can play game gear, sega master system, wonderswan...There is a custom kernel on the internet.
The powkiddy v90 is now my favourite way to play all the old gameboy/ advanced games.
My Way to Play These Old Games is on my Smartphone using Emulators😉
good video, a question where did you buy the gamboy browser edition?
I was never into portables handhelds but I know they had great games. But now with big hands and eyesight issues it's hard to go back. I tried to use a PSP in a store a few years ago and had a hard time with it. Anyway good reviews and cool video Wicked!👍
There is always emulation.
I'm a large Man with big hands and now I'm over 40 my eyesight isn't the same.
There's some great emulation handhelds that still suit our requirements.
GBA & PSP on a *Retroid 3+* might be the current champ.
I previously had a *JXD S7800* that fit the bill.
@@adamkane7513 thanks for the information!👏
I had the same one (still have it ) it was awesome back then the screen sucked but was still awesome
Yeah I had the purple one as well but because I hated the dark screen I sold it to my dad and got a ds instead
My favorite system
Same 😉
@@user-zo9dc1lu3q amazing handheld
Your going to need to purchase I always called it the batteries drainer GBA Light!
GB classic was my first gameboy. I swapped mine into a fresh shell not long ago and played it for a bit. The display was sooooo bad. How did we put up with it XD
I love how the gba escentially kept 2-d games alive and well during the 3-d era. Long into the PS3 era. It was an extension of the snes era and beyond. So cool that they stayed with sprites. The made a lot games for that system. Its legendary.
i got a trashed Gba.. the person was going to throw it away... changed the fuse...cost me 1$ to do so... put an ips display in it.. bought a supercard... i love it.. now i'm thinking of getting The Pokemon My Ass game lol
Love ❤️ this game boy advance 😮
THANKS :)
The GBA was my first Nintendo handheld device. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon was almost unbearable to play due to the lack of backlight.
where did you get that bowser one from?
is it better than Game Theory Admiral ? i never own a GBA so im curious
ive just picked up a boxy pixel gba with ipsv2 screen rechargable battery , paired with a everdrive mini its awesome
is the mirroring and the dark screen disturbing while playing ?
My friend gave me hes old original Gameboy as a kid with Robocop game. It was ok I guess, but it wasn't until I got Pokemon Red I fell in love with the Gameboy. So I played Pokemon Red on it and then I got the grape purple Gameboy Color for my birthday and that was amazing seeing it in colour lol. And then I must of racked in about 1000+ hours playing Pokemon Red, Pokemon Gold and Super Mario Land 2 lol good times.
Got the Gameboy player on the GameCube love it
All I can say about that game boy color is yum
I grew up with gameboy classic. My first games were Tetris and Super Mario Land. Later on we’re the Pokémon games and Final Fantasy Adventures. 🤘
My old GBA was my first console until it died a year ago after a mistake of mine. I had bought it at 2001 for around 145€ Ι have a IPS modded GBA now to play with.
As cool as the GBA was back in the day, enabling us to play ports of Super Nintendo games on the go, my favorite will always be the Gameboy Classic. My mom bought me a Gameboy Classic back in 1990 and I still own it. If I had broken or lost it, I probably would have upgraded to a black Gameboy Pocket which was technically superior in so many ways, but I could not otherwise justify the cost (to myself or my mom). I collected so man freaking GB games over the years and now that I finally shelled out for a GB Boy Colour, I've started to collect GBC games from Ebay and Aliexpress! If you count the GBC, this system lasted over a decade before Nintendo shelved it -- something that never happened before and probably won't happen again. Maybe Nintendo didn't make as much money off of it as they did with later systems, but from a purely consumer perspective, I think it's safe to say that nothing will ever be better than the Gameboy. Back in the day no console could compete with it in terms of price, battery life, and the size of its game library and from what I've seen of the Switch, this will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future. Even now companies are STILL developing games for this 30+ year old system. That's just unreal!
The GB Boy Colour is awesome. The Dpad isnt as good as a Nintendo's, but the backlight and built in games are awesome. It says 188 games, but its really like 60. But there are some great titles in there, like one of my favorites Heiankyo Alien.
@@afelinecasanoca I would agree the D-Pad on the Gameboy is good but they did something to the Advance and DS; they're not that good.
GBA was shelved in 2010 a decade later too and could play all your game boy and GBC games 😉
Dude, I love it too but let's be real, the switch gets the title as best handheld, ever! And it's looking to surpass even the ps2 in terms of sales, it's unbeatable
they really should've made the gba with 4 face buttons like an snes controller since it was modern "32 bit" advanced
After buying my friends childhood gameboy I thought the screen was broken, whole time the screen was actually that terrible. I swear my gameboy color has a better screen
Gameboy Advance with always be king
👍👍
They should put a warning on the box: you will not be sble to see anything on the screen unless you have a bright light shining in it 😏😉
the non backlit version is not very playable in todays world and needs a backlite to be great again.i have a gba sp unhinged with a backlit screen and its just some much better to play on
Yeah the screen is absolutely terrible I agree, makes it impossible to play even when travelling
I have an SP, Gameboy Micro, GBA player for the CGN and a DS Lite. But never an OG GBA. Someday….
My childhood😢
😮
I grew up with the "brick game"
My favorite Gameboy games were always the Mario and Pokémon games
Never liked the first couple of Gameboys because the screens were just too small for my liking. This was the fist that had any appeal with the larger screen and landscape shell. However, as demonstrated in the video, that screen reflection was not good at all.
I just found 3 GBA in the thrift at once 2 gba SP 101 and regular GBA $5 each
That is the bargain game boy found of the year 😲
@@WickedGamerCollector Naughty
yo save that gameboy i see poeple do a color screen mod too it and with the gba i remember owning my first Gameboy color i never owned a game boy original before one day i owned a gba sp and a ds phat and ds lite love the nintendo hand haldeds i grew up with the color still own my color the same color as your purple
I remeber playing the drake and josh game that game was my favorite
Backwards compatibility is a really big thing these days. The new xbox and playstation consoles are completely backwards compatible to the last gen. Only nintendo made a cut with the switch (which is sad but also kind of required because of the hardware architecture).
Yes it is worth it! Why? Because I still play it everyday it's still the best 🎮 handheld ever made. I also still play my GBA Sp alot more than the switch! Yes I still remember playing my orginal Gameboy and in 1995 I bought a Gameboy Color my favorite Gameboy color game was Spider-Man 2 The Sinister 6 and finally my favorite Gameboy games we're TMMT Fall of the Foot Clan Super Mario World 1 and 2 the 6 Golden coins! All time favorite GBA games Legend of Zelda a Link to the past and The Minish Cap Metroid Zero Mission and Fusion Turock Dinosaur Hunter and Contra the Alein Wars! Also Super Mario Advance 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3
in indonesia is the same only 15 usd
I know it sounds so corny, but I always loved Mario anything and Tetris! I still remember after I got bigger I passed my Gameboy on to my brother when I got the SNES system. I played that thing all day and half the night. I remember my dad and I trying to beat a few games we'd pause the game and turn the t.v. off and warn the others to not touch our game so we could play again after I got home from school. Or remembering the next kid wanting a turn would sit there during my turn and say, "die,die, die,die,die, die,die!!!!!!" Hoping they'd screw you up, and you'd fall off a cliff, or a goomba would come and kill you! It was crazy, but such good memories!! Sigh...Miss playing with my daddy.😢 But I carry on the tradition and play with my kids! It's always good times! 😁😝
You can play gba games exactly as they meant to be played, without input lag using a new3ds xl ,worth it more ;)
Sadly the screen resolution doesn''t match. The picture will always be stretched (or small).
@@Flashcardsinfo (open agb) Without the device booting anything else i get almost full screen.
From what i can tell,it uses native boot way with an upscale.
@@ImBetterThenEveryone The 3DS has 50% more pixles. It's probably stretched then
@@Flashcardsinfo You can choose not to upscale, but its not at all like an emulator, imo this device its the best way to play gba.
Yes concerning trends caused by new Omicron subvariants: Experts
Gameboy advance sp !
Why is the box so trashed?
Yeah, ... 😮
Its worth it IF you can buy JRPGS' for it that don't cost OVER $100 for any.
369 in 1 😁😎😤
With all the bootleg 5$ gba games on aliexpress can't go wrong especially if you have the ips screen
Why when you just get one of these flash drives? I do like the little stickers; they are neat cartridges but kinda of a waste of money.
@@leelee7334 because not all roms you download will play properly using flash drives
🛋🦍Playing these handhelds is not really good after 40, make sure you’ve got that thing up at I level out in front of your head and you’re not destroying your neck looking down 💫
sorry but name the games for game boy
ein orginal
Its trash all u need is ps 5
So many memories- bought it on one of my first holidays with my husband 🥹
