Ultraviolet Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 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) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/372207-best-gameboy-advance-games/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkluminaz34 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Why waste money on a micro when you can get a ds for $30 more. It has a bigger and better screen. True the DS isn't as small as the micro but the face (like the PSP) will prob get tore up in your pocket...

JoHideo Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/372207-best-gameboy-advance-games/#findComment-586526119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

..... Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 The best games, in my opinion, in no particular order are: Castlevania: Circle of the Moon Castlevania: Harmond of Dissonance Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow Metroid Fusion Metroid Zero Mission Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/372207-best-gameboy-advance-games/#findComment-586526974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecaveman Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 The Lost Vikings is the best game ported to the GBA ever! Blackthorne is OK but rather dark mood. Oddly enough they are both games by Blizzard Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/372207-best-gameboy-advance-games/#findComment-586526976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway. Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 What about the Golden Sun series. Those were very cool. Is there a third one planned for the DS?

jonnyboy383 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Don't buy the micro plz... if I can't change your mind, might as well get a magnifying glass to go with it.

CeL_dAmAgE Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 GET METROID: ZERO MISSION! Awsome game, but sooo puzzling at points. Amazing. Especially the end level when you going all stealthy. As soon as a guard saw you it was over and then I'd scream "SH*T!" Really amazing.

+Warwagon MVC Posted September 17, 2005 MVC Share Posted September 17, 2005 http://www.gpx2.com/product/product_gallery.asp 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/372207-best-gameboy-advance-games/#findComment-586536902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcom826 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Advance Wars/Advance Wars 2. The first time I played Advance Wars, I actually stopped playing PC games to play it. Brilliantly simple, and its a game that requires strategic thinking.
