Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Battle Nexus - Nintendo Game Boy Advance

The combo system in this game feels way smoother than the first Battle Nexus on GBA—blocking and countering actually works mid-air. My cartridge arrived clean with a working save battery, so I was able to jump right into the tournament mode. Perfect for some quick nostalgia on the bus.

I dropped my cartridge in a puddle last week and it still boots up perfectly, which says a lot for a used Game Boy Advance game. The beat-em-up levels are solid and the four turtles each have their own moves, so there's real replay value in switching characters.

Booting this up on my old GBA brought back so much nostalgia—the cartridge is in great shape, no scratches, and it plays smoothly from the first level. The side-scrolling action is exactly what I remember, and the game saves without any issues.
