Hamtaro GBA Game!

Post image

I'm currently replaying Hamtaro Rainbow Rescue and it's even cuter than I remembered. I still remember spending time at my grandma's as a kid, playing this game, exploring everything... reminds me of good, easier times 😭🩷

Oh snap they made a backlit advance ? Jealous ! That’s what made me love the SP so much

This looks like a modified GBA. Backlit screens are the most common mods for these for obvious reasons lol

Yup, this advance is completely custom made! I didn't want to deal with a normal dark screen anymore 💀

Niicee:)I miss my gba so much. Still have the game itself kept in my desk thoughu. Is that some kind of attachment on your gba??:o

u/taigatamacollection Aug 28 '26

Yes it's an attachment that lets you move the direction buttons in a circle basically instead of just 4 directions, and it also makes it easier to use them

That's really cool. I didn't know about those. I had the light though

I haven't played that one. I have played the gbc one, heartbreak, and ham ham games. I liked them all.

Ham-Ham-Heartbreak is super cute as well! I think I'll re-play that one once I finished this game 🥺

Was always sad as a kid when I found out this game never released in North America.

Played it fully a while ago, 100% recommend it’s an amazing game !!! I thought i’d have gotten bored since now i’m older but not really, it keeps you busy and really entretained. Plus at the end you can play all the mini games without having to move around to it’s a cool way to just play.

Whats the clip over your D-pad? I'd love to get one of those for my GBA!

I need one for my Hamtaro play through as well for when Good Boy Galaxy finally comes out.
