Sorry but i have to call you out on BTN. It may not be a true "remaster" but if I recall right it was remade into FoM. Plus it's on PSN as a classic last I checked. But I will say it does need some touch up but I'm not sure I'd fix the camera....

Harvest Moon Boy and Girl is an updated port of Back to Nature to the PSP. Also wasn't Persona 4 technically a HD remaster since it was rereleased on the Vita?

That's what I thought, with P4G. But B&G isn't really much of retouch or even remaster. I think FoMT is the closest thing to a remaster because it really looks good and plays well today. I find the first 3d games in the series to be unplayable from what I've seen. I've tried BTN but kept wanting to play FoMT instead....

The fact that B&G doesn't include BtN's atrocious loading screens was improvement enough.

Another great video. I passed on Lady Sia for cheap at a thrift store last year as I had no idea what it was. Kicking myself a little now, as I think I would enjoy it.

Nintendo GBA (Game Boy Advance) HIDDEN GEMS!

Wow some games I never heard of, nice!

After reading noise's blog site I found not one, but TWO original Euro tagged GBA Invader games at Gamestop for only two bucks when they were closing out a few years ago. I had the very last copy at a U.S. Gamestop shipped to a local store for pickup. This after posting TWO weeks prior one was still available and nobody snapped up on it!

@ Metal Jesus and Reggie - Try GBA Urban Yeti a very hard to find hidden gem of a game.



Speaking of "PAL" GBA Alien Hominid, try the PS2 PAL version. Some extra levels not included on the NTSC releases. Another lucky find of the PAL disc at a local Gamestop! Easy to convert to NTSC PS2.

I suggested ATV Quad Power Racing in the Underrated Games thread about a month ago, and there it is again in that image. That's a GBA gem.

The Nokia N-Gage was a failed cell phone / gaming handheld that crashed and burned with only 58 physical games released for it. However, there is a small but dedicated collecting community for it and The Immortal John Hancock happens to have a 100% complete N-Gage collection. Plus he also shows us some of the handheld variations, different packaging, game highlights, preview and press editions and even a very rare N-Gage demo kiosk used at Gamestop!

Games Shown:
Ashen
Asphalt Urban GT
Civilization
Elder Scrolls Travels - Shadowkey
Pathway to Glory
Pocket Kingdom
Red Faction
Sega Rally Championship
Tony Hawk Pro Skater
Worms Wold Party
X-Men Legends II

Did you own an N-Gage or secretly want/despise it!?

[Mechblue]

NGage was always a weird system. I would grab one if it was cheap just to show to folks who may have never seen one but otherwise not interested. Oddly this video got me interested in to finding the X-Men Legends games.


And on your GBA video, same day I watched it I went out and bought a cheap Blender Bros. Cool little game. Oh and found Lady Sia for cheap as well. Shame the rest on the list are already so expensive.

Suggestions for Part 2 of GBA Hidden gems: Boktai or Boktai 2, GT Advance 3, and Boulder Dash EX (fun little game I came across) and Banjo Pilot (decent Diddy Kong racing type game). For some shooter games, Super Army War (amazing name right?) and Strike Force Hydra.
