Epitome

Recommended Posts

What do you think is the best game currently for Nintendos GBA. My current favorite right now is Golden Sun: The Lost Age. I like it because its like the old Final Fantasy games and it has awesome battle graphics. And plus, I just got Piers!!:babble: :demon: And please, try not to spoil anything fro others about a game.

Well I know this game was already on Super Nintendo. But since I dont have that game system I would have to say Yoshi's Island. I would pick this game beacause I'm not a really big fan of adventure games, but that game (along with Super Mario Sunshine) held my interest.

There are lots of good games, but I'd have to single it out to three:
Tactics Ogre:Knight of Lodis
Breath of Fire 2
and i can't forget Golden Sun: The Lost Age!
These games are my favorite GBA's, i can't pick just one.

:edit: oh yeah, i forgot advance wars! can't wait for #2!

1. Metroid Fusion and Pokemon R/S

2. Advance Wars

I have to agree with Semjaza and Tricool about Advance Wars. I forgot to mention it in the first post sorry. I like that though because of the different types of "guys" you can use. I also like it because it's kinda like Red Alert.

I say Megman Battle Network 2 was the best because the storyline was good and you could get good battle chips that were cool. Then you could also get different styles for megaman so in my opinion it was the best.

Well I think I'll just post here instead of editing. I'll try to give some impressions on a few games I think are the best on the handheld, since you seem to want a lot of ideas here lol.

[b]Advance Wars[/b] - Excellent strategy war game. I hate strategy games on a whole, but I love this game. It's just well executed and very enjoyable. It's turn based and actually has a somewhat interesting story. I really can't think of any faults. The multiplayer modes also rock.

Castlevania series - [b]Circle of the Moon[/b] was the first, and while I liked it at the time... It has been so upstaged by Harmony of Dissonance and Aria of Sorrow that I don't even like playing it anymore. [b]Harmony of Dissonance[/b] is a great game, but it suffers from weaker music and way too much backtracking for even a Castlevania game. It's also rather easy, but it has mulitple endings and is quite enjoyable.

[b]Aria of Sorrow[/b] is possibly even better gameplay wise. It has more story elements, and every monster has abilities that can be absorbed to give you new powers. Graphically some of it is a slight step down from HoD, but a lot of it looks even better. The music was vastly improved. My main problem with this game is that some of the layouts in the areas are extremely bland, especially any area near the start with lots of water.

[b]Made in Wario[/b] - I had the benefit of getting to play this a couple months ago. Don't pay attention to some of the poor reviews you see (although I think only Game Informer rated it low, and they suck... so who cares). The game is insane and just pure fun. In my opinion, this is a must purchase. If you have a GC to GBA link cable, you can download a demo of this from the new GC Demo disc that's out now.

[b]Mario Kart: Super Circuit[/b]: Cannot go wrong with this game. Takes the best of the original and the N64 versions and mashes them together into what is the best Mario Kart so far in my opinion. Totally worth getting. The only game that compares to it in this genre is Konami Krazy Racers, which is also good.

[b]Wario Land 4[/b]: Great puzzle based platforming game, just like the past few Wario Land games. The game looks great, plays great and sounds great. The only problem is that it's way too short. We're talking 12 levels... plus a final level, which right out sucks. The final boss is fun though, and the gameplay up until that point makes it worth it. I really enjoyed this one.

[b]Super Mario Series[/b]: In my opinion, you can right out skip the first Mario Advance game and skip right to the next two: Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island. Both feature a few cosmetic changes, but are basically the same as their SNES counterparts... which means they are excellent.

[b]Ninja Five-o[/b]: The name sucks, the boxart sucks... but the game rocks. Think of a cross between Bionic Commando and Ninja Gaiden, and you get this. Great action game.

[b]Mega Battle Network 2[/b]: I'm also recommending this. It's hard to explain, but it's almost like a turn based strategy game in the Megaman universe. You might want to wait for 3 though, which should be coming rather soon I'd think.

I'll probably stick some more in here later if I think of them. You can't really go wrong with the new Pokemon games either... but if you want something a bit less "kiddy" go with Demikids, which will be out soon. It's the US version of Atlus's Megami Tensei: Devil Children. Looks great.

Since these also work, I'll name some of them... For Gameboy Color... I think Super Mario Bros. DX, Tetris DX, Link's Awakening DX, Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Zelda: Oracle of Seasons are all worth getting. The best GBC game in my opinion is Dragon Warrior 3.

For Gameboy get Donkey Kong '94.

Also i cant forget Eternal Duelist Souls. That one pretty cool if you are a real Yu Gi Oh fan. Also I think that megaman battle network 3 is already out. I cant wait to get it.
