GBA Games Best of

[Talas]

Hey everybody,

bought a GBA SP the other day, along with a couple of games:

Zelda: Minish Cap
Pokemon (Forgot the Edition)
Advance Wars 2
Advance Guardian Heroes

Now, I think I will sell Pokemon and Advance Guardian Heroes again, dont like them. I really like Advance Wars 2, reminds me of Warsong on the Mega Drive. Now, I would love to hear your opinion on which games are a MUST for the GBA. Is there anything like Langrisser Hikari (Warsong) on the GBA, for example?

thx in advance,

Talas

The kirby games are fun (one is a port from NES with minor enhancements, then there's the amazing mirror) and so are the Castlevania series. Aside from that, the metroid series aren't too bad either. Those are about the only one's I've played short of the mario ports & such.

You can believe me or not... but Astro Boy is pretty much the best game available for GBA in my opinion...

This is what Gamspot has to say about it...

Everyone, regardless of age, simply must own and play Astro Boy: Omega Factor--because it is one of the best action games on the GBA.

If your a megaman fan then you can give Megaman zero a try, I have played all of them and they are great.

Astroboy sounds very interesting. I think I will give it a shot. Megaman, Castlevania and Metroid too of course. But those are all action games. Anything from different genres? No Langrisser Hikari?

Astroboy is great, but hard and has some slowdowns at times.

What about Final Fantasy Tactics?

Oh and what kind of games do you want to know?

 

[Talas]

Any kind of actually. Those top ten of all times. Puzzle Games, Shoot em ups, Platformers, RPGs. Yea, Final Fantasy Tactics sounds good, though I dont like the kiddie look that much. So there is no Langrisser Hikari I guess?
