Maco70 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I have seen countless "Recommend me PS2 games" threads. But never have I seen one for GBA. I just got a GBA (five bucks baby) and am looking for games that are good. The seller threw in: Spyro: Season of Ice Golden Sun: The lost age (is this a sequel, or the first game?) Super Mario Advance Snood (it's a bubble bobble rip off) Harvest moon Other than those, recommend me some GBA games please. Quote

Maco70 Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 Is zero mission the remake of the original? And which Mario is SMA3 based off of? Quote

Zelda! Minish Cap! SUPER DODGEBALL ADVANCE!!!!!!!! Fzero ain't bad but meh, after playing GX on Gamecube and Mario Kart DS, it feels dated. Quote
kamoh Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Is zero mission the remake of the original? And which Mario is SMA3 based off of? Yes Mario Advance 3 = Yoshi's Island Mario Advance 4 = Super Mario Bros 3 Quote
Necrotic Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Golden Sun: The Lost Age is a sequel. Strongly recommend the first game if you like TLA, because TLA is pretty much a totally direct continuation of the original's story, but in the eyes of a different set of characters. -Nick Quote
Fire in the Hole Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 If you do not get the original Golden Sun and beat it before playing The Lost Age you will be sorely deprived. So I hear FFV and FFVI Advance are worth the purchase, regardless of whether you played them before or not. FFIV Advance was all right, though I couldn't get over Rosa's portrait and the ridiculous amount of cheesy pop references, but I don't have a verdict on the other two because I just got them today.

Black Mage Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 DrillDozer is pretty fun, though somehow my damn game got erased! Quote

How was the original golden sun? Is it worth buying, or should I just sell the one I have? Quote
atmuh Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 How was the original golden sun? Is it worth buying, or should I just sell the one I have? the original is freaking awesome I consider them both to be one big game, and it is my favorite GBA game ever if you only play the second you're only getting half a game and the first half is just as good as the second Quote

Maybe I will sell it, for store credit. Is there a Worms Armageddon game for GBA? Quote

Fire in the Hole Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I tried it out for a bit, but I got so confused I just turned it off. Maybe I will sell it, for store credit. Are you retarded? BUY THE FIRST ONE. Quote
Ab56 v2 aka Ash Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 What are you kids babbling about? Sell the piece of junk. Golden Sun is nothing special. Quote
Maco70 Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 Are you retarded?BUY THE FIRST ONE. I am more of a pick up player when it comers to handhelds. I am hesitant to get into an RPG that has the likely hood to hook me in. http://wwp.team17.com/main.html?page=grap&area=_gbsh&type=uk Anyone played this? I'm wondering how it is. Quote

Maco70 Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 Moving on from golden sun... http://www.gamespot.com/gba/action/sonicthehedgehoggenesis/index.html Is this as bad as the review makes it out to be? I want a sonic game for my GBA. Any of the Sonic Advance games decent? Quote

I want a sonic game for my GBA. Any of the Sonic Advance games decent? I dunno about anyone else, but I really liked the first two. Haven't played the third. Sonic Battle was just bad though, avoid that one for sure. Quote
Tex Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I've played GBA games in the past. But not too much so. Anyhow, I recommend Wario Land 4; which is a really fun platformer. Cool graphics and neat soundtrack. Check this one out if you can. Quote
The Coop Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Castlevania (GBA port of the original) Castlevania: Circle of the Moon Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow MegaMan Zero MegaMan Zero 2 MegaMan Zero 3 MegaMan Zero 4 MegaMan & Bass Sonic Advance Sonic Advance 2 Sonic Advance 3 Phalanx Iridion II Gradius Galaxies Astro Boy Gunstar Super Heroes King of Fighter EX2: Howling Blood Metal Slug Advance Metroid Fusion Metroid Zero Mission Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon Shining Soul Shining Soul II Sigma Star Saga Super Ghouls and Ghosts Grab Iridion as well, as it's dirt cheap, and a fun old-style 3D shmup (think Galaxy Force II, but prettier).

Maco70 Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 Thank you sir. I'll add that to my definite list. PS: your sig rocks my socks. Quote
Bahamut Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Hm, just to stir up CONTROVERSY, I have to add that I hated the Golden Sun games, especially the second. The second one was a massive snooze fest, and I eventually got so sick of it that I just quit halfway through the game. Much of Coop's list is win though, so just go with whatever of those. Quote
