Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand (Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2003)

About this product

Product Information

This Game Boy Advance game was designed by Hideo Kojima with a special cartridge capable of detecting levels of sunlight and modifying gameplay accordingly. Players take command of Django, a vampire hunter, and begin a quest to save the world from hordes of evil demons. However, Django is a much better hunter during the day, and daylight also makes his prey weaker. The game cartridge senses the level of sunlight -- depending on whether the player is inside or outside, and if it's a sunny day -- and adjusts the difficulty level accordingly. The world of Boktai is full of spiders, vampires, zombies, and other foul creatures, so Django needs all the help he can get. Some of the enemies can be killed with a special "solar gun," but others have to be lured outside, into the sunlight.

  • GBA Hidden Treasure!

    I remember hearing about this game years ago in an issue of Nintendo Power, but never got around to playing it until now. The premise is simple, defeat the immortals using the power of the sun! Except it's more than that. It's stealth, puzzles, and item hunting as well! Sunlight is required for this game, as it will tell you many times. You don't need sunlight 70% of the time, but it's important that you save solar power into the game's storage system when you get the chance. Bosses are the only real requiremen for playing in the sunlight. They are more or less impossible without it! Overall, I highly recommend this unique little gem for anyone's GBA collection.

  • Very unique

    The game looked new. Extremely minor wear and tear on the game and it’s 100% authentic. The game itself had a rather unique concept that actually worked. You play a vampire hunter that has the “Gun del sol” which essentially is a gun that fires solar energy at vampires. Well the power for the gun comes from the game paks ability to use solar energy that transfers into the game. A super neat idea and an amazing game. Definitely recommend!

  • The SUN in your hand or well a solar sensor is in your hand.

    This is a unique game where they took a simple concept, your a gun slinging vampire hunter who's weapon shoots beams of light. What if we added a solar sensor to the game and made you collect real sunlight. An awesome game to add to the collection.

  • The best game on the GBA

    An amazing game, as usual from Hideo Kojima. At first I was skeptical of paying almost $50 for a GBA game, but this one truly is worth the price.
