Nintendo Gameboy Advance: What Games?

[Guest Ryan]

well, figured i'd also bring this up for discussion. :p if i'd ever choose to buy one if the oppurtunity shold present itself, what should i get? :laugh: i'm considering the legend of zelda link to the past/four swords, metroid fusion, and i can't remember it's name, but i think there is a new mario one. tradition, right? gotta have a new mario game and get it. :rolleyes: so what do you all recommend? :yes: and no i won't bring up any more threads for game advice unless it's on a game i actually own and have trouble with. i choose to stop it with this one. :ninja:

I've never played Metroid Fusion, but I have played Mario Kart and Super Mario Advance - they are both very nice games... Mario Kart would be my favorite.. :happy:

[Icarus ^i^]

Metroid Fusion is bloody great :) It should be criminal not to play it with earphones and miss out on the soundtrack.

Can also recommend Super Mario Advance series and Link to the past... all good ports of their SNES originals...

i'd humbly suggest waiting until the new backlit GBA SP is released in March if you're thinking of buying a GBA

Spyder is right, wait for a backlit gba, (didnt know one was coming!), having no backlight really sucks.

And dont forget advance wars, classic turned based strategy!!!

Other games I play:

Bomberman (classic SNES bomberman action, as it should be)

Mario Kart (altho its like the snes version, not the n64. I was great at the latter, and crap at the snes version, never worked out why, but i suck at this one too. need power slides!)

Chuchurat (my gf loves it, confuses the hell out of me, but good game i guess)

Was gonna get speedball2, but read a few reviews, and decided to give it a miss, i think the screen probably is too dam small for it.

Metroid Fusion is AWESOME! Tony Hawk is also great (any one of them, although I'm sure the latest is the best...).

And I'd wait for the SP too. It actually looks sorta neat :)

Link is an absolute must, even if you did beat the SNES version ten times. Havent played Fusion but its on the top of my games to get list. Also recommend tactics ogre and Super Mario Advance 2. Theres a lot of lame titles that you gotta be careful w/ on the GBA so make sure you stick to quality names.

Golden Sun - the best RPG on the GBA

Oops! I thought I forgot a game in my list. Add "Golden Sun" to that list. I wonder if SquareSoft is gonna port over any of the SNES "Final Fantasy" games. I never played "Final Fantasy III" (the U.S. version)... :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: ...and I would love to be able to play a high-quality FF game in class when it gets boring.

[Evil-Rom]

GBA is my only 'console' and these games rock:

• Advance Wars
  
• Mario Cart
  
• Metroid Fusion
  
• Golden Sun
  
• Tony Hawk
  
• Bomberman
  
• Zelda
  
• F-zero
  
• Sonic
  

Those i have and reccomend.

I would also like to buy streetfighter alpha 3 and two towers :)

[Guest Ryan]
