1- Castlevania- Circle of the Moon I actually liked this more than Symphony of the Night... I haven't beaten it though! Got to the last boss, tried him 3 or 4 times and couldn't put a dent in his hide, so I QUIT. I just quit, and 6 months later my save is still there. 2- Metroid Fusion- really good stuff, and a couple of the bosses have absolutely insane music (the ''skeleton water snake''). Love to get an MP3 of that. It's not quite Super Metroid though... that had a deep ominous soundtrack that you can't duplicate on tinny GBA speakers or that inferior sound chip. Are there any GBA soundtracks ripped, IE- .SPCs or .GYMs? Anyone? |

They come out in japan though and the one I linkled to (second one) will work with usa machines. Send me your flashcart and a return postage paid envelope and I'll put some goodies on it. GBA carts are universal- no adaptor required. 3 of the best games (IMO): Advance Wars Wario 4 F Zero (not a snes port- more sequel...) |

I know what you mean about the metroid sound- still haunting, but not that lovely pulsing 16 bit bass there was on the snes. how good would the super metroid soundtrack be on a system with a sub? :D |

Ahh yes, of course! I think I'll wait for the domestic release though. And I'll make sure to get in contact with you once I receive my flashcart.. You have redeemed yourself Ceri JC. I didn't know they had F Zero for GBA. I'll have to pick that up the same time I get Mario Kart. Do you think Advance Wars is worth buying now? Or should I just wait for the sequel? |

1.Advance Wars -- 9.1 Gamespot, $20 at EB 2.F-Zero: Maximum Velocity -- 8.1 Gamespot, $30 at EB 3.Mario Kart -- 8.2 Gamespot, $30 at EB I'm getting Advance Wars first because it only costs $20 and that's all I'm going to have after I return this undercooked shitty fucking piece of Japanese RPG shit. The rising sun can rise up my ass tomorrow morning. ... Does anyone have an opinion on the other two? Place your bets: Mario Kart vs. F-Zero |

Mario Kart > F-Zero, you heard it here first. Trrrrrrrrrrust me. |

Alright, I'll take your gypsy boy word for it. Can you do me a favor? Next time I post a question directed at Ceri JC, give him a beep on your XLT moderator wrist watch\swiss army knife thing. That crotch takes forever to get back to me. |

Hmm.. The EB clerk said F-Zero > Mario Kart. He gave me a piece of gum too. Looks like the two of you will have to fight for my love. I finally bought Advance Wars, haven't played it yet though. I hope it's reeeeally cool and I hope I have enough time to beat it before the the sequel comes out next month. |

Gamecube Pilotwings?: http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/action/pilotwings/news_602 6028.html It's too bad Nintendo can't develop everything themselves.. |

excellent, I'm sure that shiggsy will be keeping a close eye on it, lets hope that they release some more info at E3... |

Does the EB clerk listen to the Legendary Pink Dots? Is he a moderator on an Aphex Twin messageboard? Um, no! Question, GBAers... is Mario Advance 3 a port of Yoshi's Island from SNES? Mega underrated game, that... these ports are great, though I could live without the voices they added in there. I really want a Castlevania 4 port, though one of my favorite things about it is the soundtrack and that would suffer horribly. Contra 3 is out so maybe Konami has something else brewing. BTW, for anyone with a PS2, Contra: Shattered Soldier is incredible, a wonderful return to form for a forgotten and nearly-ruined series. The new Rygar for PS2 is good too, though I got lost in a temple (a BEAUTIFUL one, granted) and couldn't figure out what to do. Typical Rygar! Larf mar arse arf! Huge sprawling game though, had potential if I wasn't so braindead. I love remakes and re-releases. How 'bout some Bionic Commando for GBA, Shiggy Mo? |

Have you played through both quests of Windwaker? Have you succumbed to male pattern baldness? Mario Advance 3 IS a port of Yoshi's Island. I don't really like it myself.. Too over-the-top with the kiddy theme. Makes me want to draw flowers on the wall and wipe my ass with pink toilet paper. The original Rygar for NES was awesome. The advertisements for it at half-time on Tecmo Super Bowl made me orgasm! It was like watching Mick-Jagger rip the skirt off of Tina Turner. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Pfft, lame... Yoshi's Island is an underrated masterpiece. Just go run off with Mr. EB then, fuck if I care. Rygar was a special game... embryonic Super Metroid/Symphony of the Night gameplay. I could never beat it though, there was a two headed red-and-yellow dragon that always beat my ass. I've been contemplating making a run at him with an emulator equipped with Game Genie, see what the fucker does then. |

...never knew there was a NES version of Rygar, I played it enough in the arcade though. I'll never forget that loud "fwummm" noise that plays when you insert a coin... ahh the good old arcade days... |

pardon my ignorance, but what exactly does SP stand for? (seriously) |
||||||||
|

i would like a gba sp so bad for gaming, but i know that doesn't work right on it because of the way the wave channel emulation is implemented. :~[ the gb dev scene is active as ever tho ... maybe someone will write a BigSDj ;D there is a tracker under development for the ... which i think is a more impressive system than the gba ... it will be interesting to see if the system takes off with anyone besides the uber-dork emulatoring and development crowed. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
also, the sp (special project p-colon read the thread ;) doesn't havea headphone out. :O WTF?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Opposite for me, I grew up with the NES version and never played the arcade! I have a Mame rom of it, I should give it a go. Infinite quarters. The NES version is more of an adventure than an action game... the game is one big level, you collect items, gain levels, etc... and you have to do it ALL IN ONE SITTING... no saving of passwords. Quite a challenge, made me shed a lot of years when I was a wee lad. k9d- SP doesn't have a headphone jack? Are you kidding? Gahh! |
||||||||

You buy a $5 adapter -- no big deal. It makes sense once you see the way the SP's set up. The music when you visit the 'sage on a pillar' is mind-altering. Even better than Donkey Kong Country's underwater theme. And I made it past the red-and-yellow dragon of which you speak. I shut the game off for the final time after 5 hours of aimlessly running around trying to figure out what I had to do next. All I remember is that it had something to do with a hot air balloon(?) above some mountains near the beginning... Baffling. I guess some things just weren't meant to be : http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/nes/a/rygar.htm "Pfft, lame... Yoshi's Island is an underrated masterpiece. Just go run off with Mr. EB then, fuck if I care." Lame? Look who's talking Mr.Retainer! And I know you don't mean that 'fuck if I care' yabbish. You'd be devastated if I left you. Devastated. Don't forget who wears the pants in this relationship you stupid good-for-nothing bitch. |

I would not let Mr Cabbog talk to you in such a disrespectfull manner.....you should keep your bitches in order... Hehehhee |

Eh, he gets like that sometimes. Always comes crawling back when he realizes what he's jeopardizing. (witness post #00682574). I've been seriously considering getting a GBA SP... I have to get the bus to and from my college and that would pass the 12 minutes I'm on there and impress the ladies. Also, I could sit at that big reading area in the library or even the cafeteria and play it, and the girls would flock from the jocks over to me. Emulators aren't getting me laid lately. |
||||||||
|

And I know for a fact he wants to suck on my retainer. |

I think it would be a good investment for your feral little loins. To start off with, if it's women you're after, definately pick up the platinum version along with a copy of the widely acclaimed Advance Wars. Cobalt is a big no-no on the playing field - trust a man that knows. Next, you're probably going to want to fill out the Nintendo Power subscription card as it's the only place you can get a complimentary pair of offical headphones - Playing your GBA SP with any other would be a crime. Lastly, while waiting for your Nintendo paraphernalia to ship, you should go out and hunt down a decent adapter. If it costs anything more than $5-6(not sure what that is in Inuit) you're getting a bad deal... And that's it. Good hunting penis swab. |

|
|
-- You should more seriously consider procuring a copy of Wind Waker first though. You claim to be an introverted loser with an abundance of taste yet you still lack the best game ever made. Sooo not cool. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Get a black GBA SP...very cool! I got a black one to match my Gamecube. Also, me and Mr Cabbog have done a deal.....I'm now his legal representative, you cannot talk about him in such bad ways anymore! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My purple GBA yearns for a purple GC to match it... however, my 6 nearest Argos stores are all out. I would just buy one elsewhere but it's at least £27 difference. Damned annoying, especially as I have some GC games in the post nbot to mention a few JEdi Chris has kindly lent me just sitting on my desk taunting me. |
||||||||
|

sorry if this has been mentioned before but i was just wondering, how would NOT own gba sp? i'm puzzled. the old gba looks better, feels better, has everything on it that should be on it and was meant to be gamecube compatible. agreed, the lack of light sucked, but this solution looks a lot better to me than that awful SP 'upgrade'. what do you think? credits go to the person who posted that link on this board a while ago. i forgot who did. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Think carefully about the purple GC....when you buy a GBA SP to replace the one you have...then it will not match! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now why would he want to do that? i'm sure you can answer my question :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

GP SP is far superior to normal GBA.... much easier to hold/control..... trust me. |
||||||||
|

I STILL can't get Wind Waker, but I'll have it in my paws soon. This week. But I've said this 4 times. Why do I even bother. Fuck. What color are all your Gamecubes? Mine's black, cuz I'm just THAT badass. I stack it on top of the PS2 and they look like brothers. A short fat brother and a long thin one... really Mario and Luigi-ish if you ask me. |

ophecks ... emulators havn't been getting me laid lately either .... it's all about the snes, i cna't count the number of times i've done it to the bomberman stage select music! playing my gameboy color in public ussually just gets me weird looks, especially because i'm always holding it up to my head and groovin out a bit ... however.. ... after i show the ladies a divx of my music videos on a in class, i can be sure they will follow me home! |

Have you guys ever seen a before? |

are out there too.... |

|
|

|

*wonders whether CeriJC will get the today....* :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mine's black too and for the same reason. On a different note, Advance Wars is not only the best GBA game I've played but also one of the best games I've EVER played. Anyone that doesn't have this yet should definately pick it up.. It was pointed out to me about a week or so ago by Ceri JC* and I've been playing it non-stop ever since. *xxxxxxx |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's amazing isn't it?SOme idiots overlook it because of the fact it's turnbased, but its absolutel brillant. Wait till you start making your own maps for it :D I picked up a Silver GC & Zelda today. Just been playing Metroid Prime. Zelda is fantastic. Although I've always liked Zelda games, I have felt that they were overrated- not that they're bad, but there was something "off" about them. Wind waker changed my opinion on that matter in a flash. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Well done Ceri.......welcome to the club! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahhh yes, good old advance wars, I'm surprised that there isn't a cube version out by now. Does anyone know what's different about the sequel? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There isn't any substantial info yet -- but I'm sure we'll be flooded by a deluge of previews, interviews, screenshots, etc. post E3(late may). A Gamecube Advance Wars would be scrumptious. I wonder if there's anything in the works.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So is Advance Wars a turn based combat thing like Shining Force? I've been waiting for a Shining Force sequel for a long, long time, and I would sacrifice Cabbog to get one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Say it ain't so! It *is* turn-based but it's not so much epic RPG as it is tactical strategy. You'll find no axe-wielding skeletons here young man! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It ain't so, dollface! Well I really need a turn based game with forest playing fields... castles, dungeons, caves... with swords and shields and Yogurts... gun are ick. Are there any good ones out there in the vein of Shining Force and Vandal Hearts? Turn based games are wicked hot and I haven't really played one since Final Fantasy Tactics (*****), Ogre Battle (***) and Vandal Hearts (****). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Argheth. You don't understand. You and Ceri JC will have to talk modo e modo -- maybe he can stuff some sense into that empy skull of yours. The only other wicked hot game I'd recommend you in THAT vein would be Tactics Ogre for the GBA. Not sure if you'd be willing to invest the time into playing that though. Lots of heavy planning and stat balancing - not for the faint of heart or those with lives. If you're looking for a more traditional RPG I suggest 'Skies of Arcadia: Legend' for the Gamecube. It's got a lot of personality and a great story line +plus you get to pilot your very-own customizable pirate ship hundreds of feet above the clouds! Top that and I'll let you have your way with me.. Anything goes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, Tactics Ogre for PS1 is the game I played, Ogre Battle is something different. Didn't like it much, it was like Final Fantasy Tactics only more complex, and uglier. |
