SNES vs. GBA: Graphics Comparison of All 48 SNES GBA Ports



This video shows off every Super Nintendo game ported to the Game Boy Advance and compares graphics and audio.

The Game Boy Advance is often called a ‘SNES you can carry in your pocket’. Everyone knows the handheld featured dozens of ports from the Super Nintendo. But how many SNES ports were there exactly on the GBA? As an avid retro gamer, I wanted to find out. I couldn’t find a single source that listed them all, however. So I set out to create my own list of SNES vs. GBA games and turn it into a video.

Before I could begin, I had to create some rules on which games to count and which to leave out:
-Naturally, I included games that were direct ports of SNES-only games.
-I also chose to include games that were a port of a multi-platform game that also appeared on the SNES, even if it didn’t use that version as a base (ex. Doom). I did this because these games are often counted as ports and can be compared 1:1 well in a video.
-I decided to not include games that differ completely in gameplay/level design (Super James Pond on SNES/James Pond 2 on GBA). Those are more like remakes than ports.

The SNES audio is on the left channel and the GBA audio is on the right channel. That way you can compare not just the graphics, but also the audio of both games.

Now that I’ve explained everything, let’s take a look at every SNES GBA port.

  • When people say that the Switch is a port machine, remember that handhelds have always been port machines.

  • This is a reupload, as I made some editing mistakes in the version that I uploaded first (wrong footage with wrong games). That of course couldn't stay up, so I had to fix and render again. Anyway, let me know if you like this video and if you want to see more like it.
