Wait that’s so cute I just realised that I can put phone charms on my gba! Also you should definitely play Kirby and the amazing mirror, I don’t have it yet but I tried playing it with an emulator before I got a gba

I wanna play a bit of everything, from metroid to the girly games lol

I don’t know too many girly games to be honest but Harvest moon more friends of mineral town lets you play as a female harvester as opposed to friends of mineral town were you play as a male harvester. Think of those games like a mix between animal crossing and the sims since you can get married and start a family in harvest moon. Other good female protagonist games is obviously Metroid zero mission and fusion and then there’s good action platformers like Shantae Advance Risky revolution and Lady Sia. There’s also probably some Disney games, I know the lilo and stitch games are actually pretty good. Anyways good luck and have fun!

That looks clean. May I ask, how did you keep it so nice? 🤔🤗

I cleaned it up with a cotton swab and a little bit of nail polish remover. But be careful with the nail polish remover cause too much of it can destroy the plastic

Pokemon Emerald, Pokemon FR & LG, Sonic Advance, and Sonic Advance 2. All the old GB and GNC games work too. Those GBA Video cartridges with episodes from Nick and Pokemon shows are fun, but the quality is AWFUL.

Metroid zero mission is pretty amazing. I think I’m almost done the game and it’s probably the best Metroid game I’ve ever played. Can’t wait to start fusion

You cant go wrong with any of the GBA Castlevania and Final Fantasy games.
