What to play on the GBA?

**crisssybwoy** · 10-08-2005, 09:20 AM

I have just finished playing Saberwulf & it was a lot of fun. Now, what game should I play next. Any suggetions? It can be any type of game from any region, any suggetions appreciated :-)
I have been playing Zelda Link to the Past the last few days & have also been playing Mario Kart.

Well, If you like Zelda LTTP, Minish Cap is just superb. I'd also reccomend Metroid Fusion and if you're an RPG fan:

- Golden Sun
- Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald

And if you like tatics RPGs:

- Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
- Advance Wars

Double Dragon Advance
Bubble Bobble Old & New
Zelda Minish Cap
Ninja Five-O
Super Ghouls N Ghosts

**Cmtz** · 10-08-2005, 09:32 AM

I second

Final Fantasy Tactics
Zelda Minish Cap

Anything newer is worthless

**crisssybwoy** · 10-08-2005, 09:35 AM

I'm not a huge RPG fan, but I will look into Metroid Fusion! I probably should mention this is for when I'm commution to/from work so nothing too deep or nothing you cant save as & when!

Double Dragon Advance sounds good as does Bubble Bobble old & new (this is one I was thinking of getting)

I got into the GBA late. I am currently playing "Wario Ware Inc" and "Advance Wars 2". Previous games that I have played are: "Advance Wars".

**Contrabassoon86** · 10-08-2005, 09:43 AM

You should play some of the Castlevania games for the GBA.

Circle of the Moon and Aria of Sorrow are my favorites.
Harmony of Dissonance is also good.

After playing advance wars on ds i'll never go back. Never!

I recently picked up One Piece. Not a fighter like the PS2 and GC games, but very good beat 'em up. I suggest beat 'em up fans pick this one up.

I second those as well.

**MrSmiley381** · 10-08-2005, 10:05 AM

Yes, I suggest the Castlevania games as well. The Metroid games rock, and, of course, classic Mario stuff is always good.

I know you said you're not an RPG guy, but Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis is one of the top strategy games EVER.

**roushimsx** · 10-08-2005, 10:11 AM

I wasn't aware there was anything else available on GBA other than Wario Ware Inc. Maybe it's because that's all I play

**Lord_Magus** · 10-08-2005, 11:35 AM

Here are a few games that are definitely worth your time:

Castlevania: All three of them
Astro Boy:Omega Factor (this game rocks!)
Metroid: Zero Mission
Metroid Fusion
Advance Wars I+II
Fire Emblem I+II
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Sage
Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls
Golden Sun I+II
Zelda: The Minish Cap

Generally, before you go out and spend your hard-earned cash for a new GBA game, you can always try them out on an emulator to see if you like them or not.

**Cauterize** · 10-08-2005, 12:01 PM

My vote also goes to the Castlevania Games!

**PDorr3** · 10-08-2005, 12:11 PM

I mgonna say Riveria. Its an awsome RPG, and despite the way it plays, its really fun. The characters have alot of personality, and plenty of interaction for character development. Battles are unique and fun, and the story is interesting.
Give it a try.

**Jumpman Jr.** · 10-08-2005, 03:11 PM

All of the NES Classiscs are pure gold on the GBA

**THATinkjar** · 10-08-2005, 03:56 PM

Sonic Advance is a blast.

Anyone else hear that Konami are to release a 2 in 1 Castlevania cartridge for the GBA? That'd be sweet.

**DKTheArcadeRat** · 10-08-2005, 04:13 PM

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga is definately one of the better games on the gba.

**tornadostormxl** · 10-08-2005, 04:20 PM

buy mega man zero games there great

**crisssybwoy** · 10-09-2005, 06:36 AM

Well I have started on Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance and it seems very nice

Some good suggestions there tho' chaps. I must make myself a little list!

**Jagasian** · 10-09-2005, 09:23 AM

If you have a Flash Cart, then try out the top 25 NES games and the top GB and GBC games with Pocket NES and Goomba respectively:

The "Wars" series has been around on the Super Famicom and even the Famicom! It has a long history. If you really like the series, you should give every Wars game a try. That is the kind of guy that I am. It may be a while before I get to the DS entry in the series though.

**MrSmiley381** · 10-09-2005, 07:26 PM

Notes:
It's spelled Riviera, and it's a little too easy and short.

And the Castlevania NES remake is pretty screwed to hell. The hit detection is horribly off, dragon heads shoot two fireballs and not three, and the Frankenstein boss is reversed. At least, that's how my copy is.

ouch that's kind of a bold statement

I just picked up Rebelstar Tactical Command and I'm really digging it. Anyone who liked the old X-Com games is sured to love this.
