Okay so I loved the idea of the gameboy advance but hated the non backlit screen, really spoilt it for me :(

The SP was exspensive and only seemed to give ME the benifits of the backlight however the micro sets to change all this.

I adore the size and want it to have some quick Nintendo action anywhere, its small enough to just throw in my pocket, unlike the psp or ds.

Now then i was wondering what games were avaliable on the advance platform therefore that i could run on the micro? and what are the best games avaliable.

To give you some ideas im looking at quick pickup. blast and put down again games...for example on my GBA i have....

Pacman

Pole position

dig dug

Supermario World (nes version)

Supermario 4 (nes version 3) or whatever its called

Asteroids

Missile command

Doom

Ms Pacman

Centipede

Street fighter

Sonic Advance

Tony hawks pro skater 2

GT advance

Galaxian

Galaga

And i was looking at monkey ball GBA and zelda (nes)

so im clearly into my retro gaming and love the idea of a portable nintendo but im really looking for some recomedations that are fun and a quick blast rather than in depth and involved games such as advance wars.

So if anyone has any suggestions im all ears

(im getting the micro regardless this is about games not what is the best console etc)

I recommend Wario Ware. I have the first one and it is a great pick up and go game. There is also a newer one. Either would be great choices.

There is also the GBA Zelda game, The Minish Cap. It was a nice game albeit quite short.

For your RPG fix, Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age are great.

GBA has a ton of good games, I'd check places like http://pocket.ign.com

Grand Master

I'd wait to get one of these when they come out for under $200 then put a gameboy advanced emulator on it and any other kind of system emulator you want

the great thing about this as opposed to the PSP is they support and acctually encurage homebrewed apps like as in emulators and such, it also plays movies and music

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
