(Please excuse the use of Japanese boxart, finding a quality picture of the American one is hard to find but your better off this way. It’s also not the best story wise since the latter games get better with plot and characters but it’s a good start for what the series has in store. This game isn’t particularly perfect, it’s kind of ugly and brown but I guess that’s to be expected with the GBC’s limitations. You also learn Ham-Chat, which is slang that hamsters use and is important to your progression in the game. You take control of Hamtaro of course by trying to find the rest of the Ham-Hams in time for a party that Boss has prepared.

Hamtaro Ham-Hams Unite was released way near the end of the Gameboy Color’s life. However because of Viz being a dummy they only released five of them internationally with one of them being EXTREMELY rare.

It’s like putting up G3 My Little Pony with Batman and Courage the Cowardly Dog. It’s quite a rarity when a licensed game is considered decent or even good, but Hamtaro has managed to make one of the best licensed games I’ve ever played! Hamtaro is a children’s anime that premiered on Toonami in 2002 among Tenchi Muyo!, Gundam and Cowboy Bebop, with everyone questioning Toonami’s decision.
