>>12143189>>12143207/thread
>>12143189Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
For me it's Double Dragon Advance, doesn't matter how many times I play it, I'll never get tired of it
>>12143189>12143189TwistedLand 4Boktai Astro Boy Omega Factor Aria of Sorrow Circle of the Moon Scorpion King F-zero maximum velocity Pokemon Emrald Urban YetiMother 3
>>12143189Pokemon Emerald / FRLGStar Wars: ROTSThe UrbzRacing Gears AdvanceAria of SorrowMetroid Fusion / ZMDragon Ball Advanced Adventure Some Shaman King duology I forgot the subtitle
Golden Sun / TLAThe isometric Tony Hawk games were really good too, I spent a lot of time playing those. The LR buttons work really well with them.
Sigma Star Saga - I liked that the random battles were mini-shmups instead of menu fights
Growing up:>Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town>DBZ: Legacy of Goku 2>Golden SunNow:>Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow>Fire Emblem>Mega Man ZeroI really like GBA. I don't know if it has a LOT of games worth playing, but the great ones really are incredible.
metroid fusion and aria of sorrow. encountering SA-X for the first time and fighting julius was kino
>>12143376Star wars Legos on gba is an absolute masterpiece, even if you hate Lego games. How come why you put rots over it, good sir?
>>12143189not retro because big round number year
>>12143189Megaman Battle Network 6
There's a bunch I I rally like. If I have to pick one it would be The Minish Cap. Would also argue it's the best looking game on the GBA.
Fire EmblemLyn will always be the best
The best RPG on the GBA and no one knows about this hidden gem.
>>12143189This thread reminded me of how great of a console the GBA was. Holy shit, this was peak gaming. My top 5 would beAstro Boy Omega FactoWarioWare inc.Aria Of SorrowMetroid Zero MissionMetroid Fusionbut those are mostly interchangeable.
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow
>>12143849>$14.27sweet jesus, mother of god…
>>12143189Gunstar Super HeroesThe Pinball of the Dead
>>12143189Pic related is way better than it has any right to beGenuinely one of the best GBA games
>>12143832Im going to try this out and if its not better than superstar saga or at least golden sun I will come back here and loudly complain about it
ffvai like cooking up job combination
>>12143189Crash The Huge AdventureMinish CapPokemon Emerald
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
>>12144694do you also like screen crunch and butchered OST?
>>12144895You can fix the soundtrack with this patchhttps://www.romhacking.net/hacks/563/
>>12144660Get ready to complain, it's a novel game (not really an rpg) but certainly not the best on GBA, that anon is crazy
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.It's the reason why I bought my GBA to begin with.
>>12143189
>>12144606Is it really better than Mario Tennis?
>>12144895no but i like enuo and neo-shinryu fights and also dark arts on top of 8-hit dual-wield rapidfire flareblade, releasing vilia for almagest, and the funny "quintcast" gigaflare bahamut summon
>>12143189>Riviera the Promised Land >Final Fantasy Tactics Advance>Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls>Tactics Ogre the Knight of Lodis>Golden Sun + TLA>Ao no Tengai>Shining Soul 2>Dragon Quest Monsters Caravan Heart >Sonic Advance>Castlevania Aria of Sorrow>Wario Land 4>Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland + Amazing Mirror>Megaman Zero (all 4)>Bomberman Tournament>Guru Logi Champ
>>12143189The Megaman Zero games probably.
>>12143189Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Metroid Fusion and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories come very close, but Kirby and the Amazing Mirror is probably my most favourite one.
>>12143189dragon ball adventure advance.
It's hard to pick one, there are so many great games on the GBA. So I'll pick the one I completed the most timesL Max Payne Advance.
>>12143189You posted it.
>>12145528I like Chain of Mempries but lets not pretend it isn't kusoge.I only have this opinion because I played it obsessively after getting it as a prize from Dave and Busters, and after finishing the Rikku story mode; I realized I never wanted to touch it again. Too.much farming for card packs with nothing but garbage. I wanted to tear my NDS in half.Metroid Fusion is dope though. Nothing like eating a bunch X cells when ypur life is low.
>>12146365Well, I do have some bias for CoM because it was my first KH game (didn't get a PS2 until 2008), so maybe if I played it after KH1 I'd have worse opinion about it.Sure, the plot is like 80% filler that has nothing to do with the main storyline and it's basically a "what if KH1 came out on GBA" with the same worlds, characters, magic, summons etc., but I'm glad devs went with deck system instead of trying to fit in ARPG gameplay - not only it'd be just something akin to Summon Night Swordcraft Story (which is fine by itself but the gameplay doesn't feel like KH) but deck building added variety and replayability to the game. Now a remake of CoM is something I would never recommend to anyone - intentionally going from 3D to 2D just to fit the game on GBA and then going from 2D to 3D by using the same engine as KH1 and KH2 (with a bunch of awful gameplay changes, like Moogle Point farming being nerfed to hell and Riku's story mode no longer having tough boss fights because Duel is braindead) makes the gameplay feel really, really slow (because GBA CoM was never designed with 3D in mind).I'm fine with Riku's story on GBA - it's much shorter because no deck building and filler plot, so you just enjoy the gameplay.
>>12143189harvest moon and maybe the final fantasy nes/snes ports. would rather play comfy games while watching a movie or winding down in bed instead of focusing on some action game on the tiny gba screen. also maybe puzzle games for the same reason
>>12143189Rhythm Heaven and Astro Boy
>>12146465and i guess other rpgs but only if they're good. Rpgs maybe peaked on gba/ds because playing them as a full sized tv game seems too dull but playing handheld while doing other stuff is comfy
too many games to choose from>Minish Cap>Metroid Fusion>Metroid Zero Mission>Golden Sun>Golden Sun 2>Astro Boy>Superstar Saga>Warioware MM>Warioware Twisted>Aria of Sorrow>Boktai>Boktai 2>Drill Dozer>FFTA>Advance Wars>Advance Wars 2>Kirby and the Amazing Mirror>Warioland 4>Megaman Zero >Pokemon Emerald>Fire Red/Leaf Green>Rhythm Tengoku>Mother 3>Sonic Advance>Sonic Advance 2would all be valid answers for me. if I HAVE to pick a favorite its probably superstar saga
>>12143717You have disgustingly terrible taste
>>12143189crisis core
>>12145030Nigga just try it in in mGBA or something
>>12144998I love that look.
warioware
>>12143189Golden Sun Lost AgeFRLF + emeraldAstro BoyBattle network series even if 1~2 are kinda iffy.KH:CoMDB: legacy of goku 2 + buu's furyDB advanced adventuremedabot
>>12143189Summon Knight Swordcraft story. In fact, I am gonna start a playthrough right now. The entire trilogy, hope the 3rd translation patch is finished.
>>12147938This stuff feels even better in-game alongside music. Expect nothing less from Riviera devs.
>>12145030Mario Tennis is fun but if you play on hard difficulty it becomes very repetitive. At a certain point in the game (on hard difficulty) only way to score a point is a special move. So you matches end up being a spam fest of those.
>>12144979Same here, but I hated that game.For me, it's a tie between Fire Emblem and Shining Force.
Mother 3Maybe the only portable game comparable to home console gaming in terms of scope and polish
>>12148573not even a top 5 gba rpg and a 6/10 at best
>>12145376I cant believe we're forced to suffer from oversaturated colors because Nintendo was too much of a jew to include a backlight in the GBA
>>12143189 FFTA
Ninja Five-0 is the only one that matters.
>>12145030mario tennis gba is not a good tennis game, way too much auto handling to the point where a volley barely needs your input.
>>12143189https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j6F3_ktNXg
>>12144998I wish this and Riviera weren’t such clusterfucks to play Great aesthetics but holy shit Sting games are like getting a PhD
Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, it's just fun
>>12147551Don't be rude.
>>12143189Both Kururin games. Second one has an english patch now.
>>12148779It's nowhere as bad as some claim for most games.
>>12150732It looks fine on the front-lit screen. But anything brighter and they're way too garish. And of course a dark screen leads to other annoyances like characters needing shadow trails and making sounds when you press a button (mario and link come to mind).
