The Nintendo Gameboy Advance has an impressive library of games, and many I would consider hidden and forgotten gems. This top 100 countdown of the GBA's best games showcases the titles that deserve your time and attention to play. Slightly more powerful than the Super Nintendo (SNES) this amazing portable machine brought us some innovative and polished games ever created. Through thousands of hours of play and deep research, I believe this is a concrete list of the best game titles for the GBA. If there's a title you believe deserves to be on the list let me know in the comments.

    Gba game library was so good, most of the games in the top 40 of this list can easily be in the top 10. The game library was absolutely stacked, my favorite handheld of all time and just video game system overall
  • @RetroReef
    Such an amazing system. Anybody who loves the 16 bit era and hasn’t explored the GBA library yet is in for a treat. Honestly one of the all time best game libraries.
  • @obthree2830
    I’ve seen SOOO MANY of these videos! And let me just say this one was a nice change of pace from the normal show a clip and count down to 1.
  • @stormranger528
    Your edit is so nice man. I appreciate you adding the name and box art. Keep up the good work
  • @YeagerFilm
    Great list and great production value on the video! Glad to see Advanced Wars and Sonic Advance 2 get appropriate ratings. 💯
  • @tugkanberk
    here after apple removed emulator bans from the app store
  • @yudiwidanto
    Well documented and informative review ❤
  • @netogc9979
    Good job man!! Awesome quality and more gameplay time!! Thanks a lot!!!
  • @geraldhenry5739
    Pretty good list! Definitely one of the better ones I've seen. You can definitely tell you made the list based on your own personal preference as opposed to reviews or the community hype around them. You even mentioned MegaMan Battle Network albeit at a pretty high number but still, no other video I've watched so far even talks about those games and they're amazing. In any case, thanks for the list. Gonna start downloading some of these again.
  • @davidhoffman6509
    Really nice job putting this together. Great video, just the right amount of gameplay video per game, great job including the cover art and the title graphics are really nice. Kudos.
  • @nnoyze
    Great video showing gameplay and information of each game
  • @freezersk
    Nice list and very nicely presented for someone like me discovering GBA games years after the console prime 👍🏼
  • @Lucifronz
    Phew... you had me worried for a second there. Was about to say "No Zero Mission!?" but you put it in first and while I'm not a huge Metroid fan in terms of gameplay, I love the aesthetic and it's the only Metroid game I've ever put in the time to beat. I loved the hell out of it, fantastic game. It's a prime example of how to do a remake.
  • @randy7894
    Fantastic list! I've got all of em.
  • @fargus3486
    Brilliant video - really admire the effort
