DMG doesn't have much, but that's a GBC which has plenty.

The period of interchangeable GBC/gb carts were good, oddworld 1/2 are good adaptions.

GB and GBC have some of the most in depth libraries you could ever want... load up full ROM sets on your computer or handheld and give it a shot, surely there's lots that you'd be interested in playing, right?
>>
>>11358470
Stop trying to do this to people. This is the WORST version of this game.
>>
>>11358229
Metroid 2 is awesome. A must play for sure.
>>
>>11358229
You know, you're right. It was the fourth best selling video game system of all time for no reason at all.
>>
>>11359191
I don't know I thought it was pretty neat
>>
>>11358229
...I would say if I was a fake game nerd who likes the Madden of RPGs
>>
GB+GBC has a better library than GBA, and you know it to be true.
>>
>>11359234
Why? It's terrible.
>>
>>11359246
I don't think many people would disagree with this outside of the people that really like the Castlevania and Metroid games.
>>
>>11359258
Also Fire Emblem/Sonic/MegaMan fags.
>>
>>11359263
As a Mega Man fag Battle Network or Zero isnt enough to make me say it had a better library.
>>
>>11359293
Seriously? That's actually one of the areas I'd give it to them. Everything other than V is just a shitty NES port/remix.
>>
>>11359191
Why?

bro it's got winnie the pooh: adventures in the 100 acre wood and pooh and tigger's hunny safari.... shut the fuck up you ignorant mf
>>
>>11359350
Yeah, there's no Contra, Castlevania, Wario, Zelda, Mario, Tetris, Final Fantasy, Ninja Gaiden, nope, nothing, just Disney license games for 3 year olds.
>>
>>11358470
looks comfy indeed
>>
>>11359248
To be fair, it was the onIy version I played and it's very nostalgic for me but I do think the artwork and atmosphere is great

Both libraries are very deep, you can make a strong argument for either.
GBA definitely wins if unofficial titles are allowed. In addition to endless romhacks there are a lot of really good unofficial VN ports that are incredibly charming.
I also think GBA is the better RPG machine, even though both systems have plenty of great RPGs, simply because the screen feels so much less cramped.

There's a lot to play and apparently a bunch of newer games coming to it in the next year

Gameboy screen size is unbearable if you're an adult.
>>
>>11359627
Which one?
>>
>>11359636
Any of them.
>>
>>11359627
Maybe if you're a retarded adult.

I assume you need glasses?

Jungle book game and donkey kong land games.

20/20 vision, what I'm saying is even on an emulator the resolution of any game is too cramped. It's for kids.
>>
>>11359703
Never really had an issue to be honest, except with the original GBA being hard to see
>>
>>11359627
>>11359703
You definitely do not have perfect vision.
>>
>>11359246
Not even close.
>>
>>11359627
I agree, bigger screens are just better to play. It doesn't help that most of them weren't even backlit, Nintendo were cheap bastards.

Emulation is the way to go.

I loved my GBC as a kid, it was my only Nintendo. I didn't realise that everything I was playing was a SNES/NES/whatever port
>>

>weren't even backlit, Nintendo were cheap bastards.
What a dumb thing to say, I bet you think game gears backlight was a good idea
>>

Good way to tell everyone you're a retard without actually saying, "I'm a retard".
>>

The fact they did fit this game (a point n click, of ALL genres) on Game Boy is terrific, terrifying, hilarious and impressive at the same time. I'll give them credit just for attempting.
>>
>>11359627
Feels just fine to me. You may need glasses.

They put all the classic MacVentures on NES way before that. Now, setting aside that interacting with those games is a bit rough and clunky with a D-Pad, those ports are overall pretty damn good, they did the graphics well, and they added music tracks which fit extremely well (the originals had no music).

If there was a way to play those ports with a mouse somehow, they'd be one of the better ones.
>>
>>11361487
>If there was a way to play those ports with a mouse somehow

I think Steam ports allow to do that, but i'm not sure
NES is one thing, but playing this on Game Boy (where D-Pad is even more stiff) should be a quiet torture

Holy zoomie

Bro is that what people call a "gamesir"

I actually do, but you wouldn't know.

I run into this with most handhelds. The DS had such an amazing library yet the only thing I can get into is pokemon.
