[color=indigo]Well, Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy III for the SNES would make good additions to your collection. Chrono Trigger would also be good, if you can find it (and afford it, lol, I've seen the SNES carts going for up to $100 in the US). Soul Blazer is more of a Zelda type game, but it's also good (and I also see that you're including the Zelda games, though).

I've also heard that Final Fantasy Adventure for the Game Boy is good. It's kind of a mix between Zelda and Final Fantasy. It has real time combat, like in Zelda, but you gain experience and stuff like that, like in Final Fantasy. Then there's also Final Fantasy Legend III, also for the Game Boy. If you liked the first two, you'll probably like the third one.

For the NES, you could try Dragon Warrior IV. I've heard the first three can get boring, from having to level up a lot, but I've heard the fourth one is pretty good. I dunno, though, you might try the first three; they did okay over here in the US, so they can't be all that bad.

That's about all I can think of, hope this helps some. You've already got a lot of the good RPGs for the SNES, though, and I don't know of too many on the GB/GBA or the NES.[/color]

[COLOR=blue]Thats pretty much all of the [I]good[/I] games Desbreko, my memory is fuzzy, so I dont think I can point out any that are already released.

But here are some "soon to come" Game Boy Advance RPG titles:

Fire Emblem
Golden Sun 2
Final Fantasy Tactics
Pokemon Advance. (and the rest of the other Pokemon games for the GBC)

Thats about all i can think of. Out of all of them, Id recommend Golden Sun 2 (It is said that you can transfer your Golden Sun data on to Golden Sun 2, alloeing you to have all the items and weopans you left off with).[/COLOR]

[color=teal]For the GameBoy Advance, you cannot forget the soon-to-come sequal to Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Castlevania: Harmosy of Dissonance, which is said to be even better than the first GBA title. For more on this game, site the June 2002 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM).

Oh, and another great RPG for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System that you don't have would be Mario RPG. It is said to be one of the best Marios, and seeing as you have all of your Mario friends in a game made by Square, who's going to doubt that?[/color]

:blah:

[color=teal]Now that you mention it, I believe that Paper Mario was the rightfull sequal, but Mario RPG is a completely different game.[/color]

He's right, Mario RPG for SNES is longer and has a complete different story than Paper Mario.

In Mario RPG, it starts with a typical day of Bowser captures Toadstool and Mario comes to the rescue. After Mario saves Toadstool, a sword crashes into Bowser's castle and the three are separated. As Mario goes off to find the princess, he learns more about the sword and finds out that the Star Road has been broken. The Star Road is where people's wishes go(I think, hey it's been awhile!). Anyway, Mario must find the Star Pieces in order to restore the Star Road.

In Paper Mario, the beginning is the same but Bowser ends up victorious. Bowser stole the Star Rod(it grants wishes) and uses its power to kidnap Peach and to make her entire castle float in the sky. Anyway, Mario must save the Star Spirit that were captured along with the Star Rod.

Anyways, that's the stories for those two. In short, Mario RPG is longer than Paper Mario.

Anyway, I'd suggest for the SNES you get Mario PRG, FF 2 & 3, Soul Blazer, and also Robotrek.
