I'm sure Metroid IV will be a great game.. I've been playing Castlevania:Circle of the Moon quite a bit lately. Not as good as it's big brother (Symphony of Darkness) on the Playstation, but it's only running on 128 bits.. Best game for the GBA that I've played so far. Hopefully they'll come out with a new Zelda for it as well.. Maybe there are already plans for it, I haven't really been keeping up with the latest news as much as I used to. Can anybody fill me in? |

Sorry, wish i could help ya. I bought an Atari Lynx yesterday....its about the size of a skate board. (Lynx Classic) |
||||||||

|
|
Euugh! What are you going to do with one of those? Or is it for nostalgic value? |
||||||||
|
|

damn right!! i love me old game systems... i almost bought a Gameboy Advance....but nah... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Get Tactics Ogre. Best damn game on the gba IMO. It's gotten stellar ratings too. |
||||||||

Tony Hawk looked pretty cool on the GBA, almost as good as the PS1!!! That aint bad for technology for your pocket. :) |

I like my GBA. I've been playing Advance Wars a lot recently. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The best Nintendo ever was Super Nintendo. I still can't forget those loads of RPGs... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i never was a big fan of game boys, or nintendo. the only systems i really like by them are, snes, nes, n64. |

theres also all those mario remakes and mario kart and f zero which are all good. the new mario advance is yoshis island(aka mario world 2). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup, magical Vacation should be hot as well as FFT(If Square changes around the elements enough to merit me to buy it on a downgraded system.) Good to know there's some people out there that like RPG's as much as me. |

Thanks for the list Mog! Golden Sun was actually the first game I bought for my Advance.. It's a decent cartridge but I'm really sick to death of this post-Squaresoft Japanese RPG garbage... It's getting irritating. I'd like something a little more grim and American.. Like Fallout. I suppose it would be hard to market anything like that for the GBA though as it's aimed mostly at younger folks. However, I did hear that Black Isle is developing a Baldur's Gate title specifically for the Gameboy... Know anything about that? The two Zelda games for the GBC were okay, but I thought the game play got a bit repetative after the first few quests. Maybe I'm just starting to outgrow that sort of thing... My favorite Zelda was always 'A Link to the Past' for SNES. I've heard good reviews of Advance Wars.. What do you think? Wario Land 4 looks kind of cute, maybe I'll pick that up.. Someone mentioned something about it being really short though. Castlevania : Harmony of Dissonance is a sure-fire winner. I bet it will be 5x as good as Circle of the Moon. Isn't the creator of Symphony of Darkness leading the development on it? Haven't heard of some of the others you mentioned(Fire Emblem, Magical Vacation).. |

Get Tactics Ogre man. It's Final Fantasy Tactics style goodness. Hmmm, since thegia shutdown these sites will have to do. Check either for soem info. www.gameforms.com www.rpgamer.com and even www.videogames.com will work. Over and Out. |
||||||||
|
|

Thanks for the links, I'll take a look at some of them tomorrow. I've never played FF Tactics.. All I heard was that the English translation was atrocious. Does the core of the gameplay consist of strategic battle? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Final Fantasy Tactics is AMAZING, but the story sucks. I ignored it. The battles and everything are first rate. GBA is awesome... I've never touched one, but I've got most of the good games emulated. Wario Land 4 is amazing, and Circle of the Moon is phenomenal... great system. I love 2-D gaming! The Jackie Chan game is awesome! |

i haven't really used a GBA but i don't really plan too. 8^) |

I miss side-scrollers.. Too much of this 'non-linear' crap these days. I'll have to pick up Wario Land 4 next time I goto the store. The Game Boy original was one of my favorites as a bedridden tyke. |

i have one of the old school game boys. not one of the smaller compact pocket game boys, i mean one of the huge ass ones. |
||||||||
|
|

I just realized I wrote that the GBA only runs on 128 bits. Why didn't any of you losers correct me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have a GBA. It sucks!!! I'm going to sell it and buy a dog shit with the money, as it'd be more useful. I have the emulator as well and that sucks too!!! |
||||||||

|
|
Swine! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

''Swine!'' I second that! It's a great little system, and I can NOT wait for Metroid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What do you think the best Metroid was? I really liked Return of Samus for the Gameboy.. Those metroids sent shivers down my spine! I've heard that the one for SNES is the best, I haven't really had a chance to play it though. Maybe I'll hunt the cartridge down on eBay one of these days and bring it over to a friend's.. |

cabbog heres some info on those 3 games. Magical vacation is an rpg made by ex-square employees, im pretty sure its got excellent reviews in japan so far. if you ever played smash bros melee for gc, roy and marth are from the rpg fire emblem. its been an old game in japan since the snes days but never came to america. im not sure if this is a brand new game but its comin out here finally. and advance wars is very good and very very very long. theres like 15 traning missions and 100 something campaign missions and you can make your own missions. im barely anywhere in the campaign. its a strategy game, turn based but its quite different than most rpgs. check some reviews to see if you like it. also wario land 4 is so cool, get that game its great platforming goodness. |

haven't heard anything about that baldur's gates for gba so far but its possible. and yes the same team is behind harmony of dissonance that did symphony of the night for ps1(at least most of the team). mgs is also another good gbc game, i still have to buy it and metroid2 for gb. I hope they remake metroid1 for gba because it was so damn annoying to save by those ridiculous # system they used. i could just get the rom too though but id prefer the original one. |

Haha - Atari Lynx. Damn right it's the size of a skateboard. My sister got a GBA. Seems okay, but since it's got no backlight, to extend battery life blah blah, it's so frikkin difficult to see unless you've got a perfectly lit environment. If a decent Zelda game came out for it, then I'd be in business.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i forget the site but there is something you can buy that installs a backlit light in the gba. of course the reason they didn't include it in the first place is that it drains batteries twice as fast as without the backlit light. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The best use for it is playing with you mates.... I wouldn't've got one if my mates didn't get one also. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
none of my friends have\like gb at all so I have never played any multiplayer unfortunately. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It makes the GBA twice as good........ Now I've got it, 'doesn't stop me playing single player games! :) |
||||||||
|
|

I'm selling mine tomorrow. Good riddance! |

I don't recommend it. I bought a game with a better review, like a 9 or so, (advance wars) and command and conquer is MUCH better. In ad. wars, it's not in real time, you take turns like in chess.. also bought golden sun, and it was so slow and stupid and boring. Plus the games are all 50 bucks or so, instead just buy a snes or genesis off ebay and get a LOT of games for 5-20 bucks each... |
||||||||
|

And sonic for it was just ok, not great at all. Finding the trampoline that warps you to the level where you get the emeralds is a pain in the ass rather than fun, and getting the emeralds requires a 3d screen that doesn't work correctly making you unable to tell your actual position. And they totally messed up mario 2, mario all stars for snes is way better. |

Zelda is coming out I cant wait for that and Mario Kart...I cant wait, I cant wait I love my gamecube =) |

Mine is growing on me Aahh GC Mario Kart... it'll be stonking |

Thanks for all the information Mog! I think I'll pick up Wario next time I goto Electronics Boutique. |
||||||||
|

i love gba because it's like a portable snes...id love to see a zelda on there, and ive been wanting to pick up earth worm jim for it...i used to love that game...and ive played super mario world on gba, and its great and all, but marios voice pisses me off. the snes version rocked! |

You no like the eetalian accent? |

cabbog have you played any other wario land games? id try the rom out first to make sure you like it. |

I had the original for my Gameboy, one of my favorites. It took me forever to find all the treasures and I loved every second of it.. Unfortunately, none of the GBA emulators will run on my celeocanth of a computer. I just completed Harmony of Dissonance and I need something to tide me over until Metroid Fusion. Here's a question for you : What's better, Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre? I've heard that they're very similar and both excellent... That helps a fucking lot. So what one am I supposed to buy? Which one has more occidental music? More complex micromanagement? Should I pick them both up? Which one should I get first? Out of these games, which should I pick up and in what order : -Wario Land 4 -Yoshi's Island : Super Mario Advance 3(never played the snes original) -Advance Wars -Tactics Ogre -Final Fantasy Tactics Anything I missed? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Get Advance Wars. It doesn't look it, but it's one of the most involving games for the GBa, esp. in 4 player on 1 gba (it's turn based)! Also forget the mario games, go for Wario 4. Mario kart is great too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good call - Mario's lost his sex appeal and his girlfriend is an airhead. Wario's more my type.. Greedy, fat, and crooked. Thanks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they're both fat, homes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, Mario is just sort of pleasantly plump. Wario is really out of shape.. I reckon he weighs a good 90-100 lbs. more than Mario. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wario is great and if you never played mario world 2, get it. its better than mario world 1. i just got harmony of disonance for my bday. i like it a lot. i still havent beat circle of the moon heh. im stuck do you think you could help me out? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Ogre Battle 64 for N64 is a great game too. I found it for $15 used,very deep, i hear not as deep as tactics ogre though. i appreciate ogre battle a lot but I find it hard to want to play it a lot. ITS LONG too, i heard more than 100 hours, so if you find the 64 version id get it. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
final fantasy tactics isnt out yet is it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Castlevania is amazing for that! I got through the whole game, but I didn't manage to beat Dracula at the end. Fuck. Wario Land 4 is amazing, 2-D insanity at its best. I've never actually touched a GBA, I just download the games. Can't be arsed to spend money! |
