Best Games for Game Boy/Gameboy Advance/Gameboy Color – Retro Gaming Console

The Best Game Boy Games of All Time

The Nintendo Game Boy made its debut back in 1989. It might not look exciting right now. But at that time, it was one of the most relevant gaming devices for many people. You can also play it on your Retro Gaming Console (watch it working).

The good thing about being a Game Boy owner was that everyone had a massive list of games. As confirmed, there are over 1000 titles of games hosted on Nintendo’s Game Boy. Many of them are good games. But some of them are the best.

For some of us, the Game Boy was a part of our childhood life. You might have come to this page to have nostalgic memories. Or, perhaps, you have seen the games somewhere and been curious about the classic games offered by this device.

Here are the best games for Game Boy, Gameboy Advance, or Gameboy Color.

Shantae

Shantae is arguably the underdog platformer game that struggled to compete with the Contra series. It is about a young girl who wants to retrieve a stolen prototype steam engine from pirates.

As the player, you will play the character to explore Sequin, a magical world where you can transform into various animals using Shantae’s dance magic.

Wario Land 3

Wario is a puzzle-based platformer game. At a glance, it might look like a Mario game. But it is a different game in nature. It is more puzzle-based rather than action-packed. In this game, you will have five quests to finish to find the artifacts. Play it on your Retro Gaming Console.

Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins

Six Golden Coins was released ten years before the top seller, Super Mario World. This next-level Mario game offers the player excellent gameplay and new creatures, as well as vehicle segments. In this edition, Mario gets swallowed by a giant fish. The adventure is within the creature’s body.

Donkey Kong

If you’ve been around following Nintendo, I am sure you have heard about this title. Donkey Kong is a unique arcade game that takes on the main character named Donkey Kong. The platforming puzzle game has over 100 levels to overcome. Be ready to be challenged. Play it on your Retro Gaming Console.

Kwirk

It is a puzzle-based game that has its uniqueness. When we expect that the main character of a great game is something straight, like a human, robot, or anything else, Kwirk does something else. The main character is a tomato.

And this tomato even has a girlfriend! When his girlfriend was kidnapped, he tried his best to rescue her in the underground labyrinth. Kwirk has more block puzzles to overcome compared to the other games.

Harvest Moon GB

You are tasked by your grandfather with taking care of the family farm. It is all yours. What do you think about it? For most people, it is an excellent opportunity to improve their lives. If you do think so, you can start working right now.

Harvest Moon is a game for all people. It was the best life simulation game at that time. Play it on your Retro Gaming Console.

Metal Gear Solid

I’d recommend this game to those who are still holding the Game Boy right now. Metal Gear Solid on different platforms has attracted a lot of players. The significant impact is almost similar to the Game Boy environment. It is a stealth-centric action-packed game with a great premise. The players will be astonished by the storyline and the fantastic gameplay. There was not anything like Metal Gear Solid back then. 

Tetris

Tetris is a long-lasting game. If we are talking about the series, there are many versions from year to year. Nowadays, this addictive puzzle game has its segmented fan base across the globe.

But the journey started over thirty years ago. The first Tetris release was in August 1989. The puzzle game has quickly become a favorite amongst Game Boy holders. Play it on your Retro Gaming Console.

The player will be challenged to move the falling blocks into the match place. Thanks to Tetris, it made such great sales numbers for the Game Boy system. According to the official source, the original Tetris has sold over 35 million copies. It was a huge success.

Pokemon Games

And I am not only talking about one Pokemon game but all of the series. Pokemon Red/Blue was released in 1998. But then, you will also want to take a look at the sequels, including Yellow, Gold/Silver, and Crystal. Those are all the successful games. If you’re a Pokemon lover, it is only natural that you want to catch them all.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

The Princess Zelda adventure is an excellent attraction to the game. The character wakes up on the shores of a mysterious island. The puzzle quests challenge the player to overcome. This game has taken a massive step for Sega to advance to the 3DS virtual console. Play it on your Retro Gaming Console.

Metroid II: Return of Samus

The Metroid flare elements that come in this game have their unique attractions. In this game, you will be joining Samus on a special mission to eliminate Metroid creatures from their home planet, called SR388. You have a big task to enter the Samus Crusades. We can say that it is one of the most underdog games since many people hate it. But I am one of the huge fans of this game. 

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages & Seasons

Capcpom presented something special for Zelda game fans. The twin titles of the franchise offer a fantastic adventure. But that’s not all. They can interact with each other through Game Link Cables and a password system. This will tweak the journeys and progress of each player.

Mega Man V

Mega Man V was a masterpiece from Capcom. The premise was so interesting that it could induce regular Game Boy players to purchase the particular games.

A group of powerful robots invaded the Earth. The Stardroids are too powerful to handle by the conventional defense system. Here is where the Mega Man fills in the gap. You will save the world by playing Mega Man. My favorite game that I play on my Retro Gaming Console.

Kirby’s Dream Land

If you are craving some funny cloud puffs, then this game is for you. This is a fun and relaxing game with a lot of pink and other bright colors. The developers of the game focused on targeting young players. It has simple game mechanics and easy gameplay. If you want to play a “peaceful” game, it is a go-to for you. It is also suitable for kids of all ages.
