      No, gba cartridge batteries are beginning to die, they have a shelf life, and they aren't making any more gba cartridges. What they should've done is released GBA games digitally for download, as the 3DS actually has the native hardware capable of playing GBA games without emulation. But Nintendo dgaf about retro games.

    Bookworm is a guilty pleasure for me too, as i like Word Search puzzles and always have, great fun to be had when you're good at spelling.
    Dynasty Warriors Advance is great for being a handheld game, the voiceovers is clear and crisp, just beautiful. "Enemy Officer Defeated!"
    i LOVE The Two Towers and Return of the King on GBA, they are Diablo style goodness mixing beautifully with the LOTR Universe created by J.R.R Tolkien, sadly Fellowship didnt go by that rule, also The Third Age is Strategy/RPG so i love that one too.
    yeah, i didnt hear about Scourge Hunt either, must've indeed been under the radar, such a shame as it looks awesome.
    i like FF Tactics Advance, except for the Judge system, it is a pain in certain situations.
    i really like how Mario Golf got the RPG treatment, even complete with a original character that gains stats the more you play with him, i really would like to see that in the next console version of Mario Golf, it would be nice to have Miis that level up and get custom stats.
    Warioware, oh how hooked i was when i started playing that, i still play it on occasion, going for those medals.
    while Shining Force will always be my fave of Strategy RPGs (it's what introduced me to the genre during the 16 bit era) but Fire Emblem is good too, though not nearly as forgiving as SF.
    i LOVE the Metroidvania style that Castlevania has taken since SOTN, some ppl hate it but i love it, the RPG elements make it all the better than it's predecessors.
    with Metroid Fusion, i think you are right about that, at least to an extent, the atmosphere is just so tense and creepy that it feels like a Survival Horror game, and that really tips the scale for me.
    Mario & Luigi is a good Mario RPG Series, but i prefer Paper Mario or the original SMRPG overall.
    LoZ The Minish Cap was great, i know a lot of ppl hate the Toon Link style of the franchise, but i enjoy it, especially on the handheld platforms.
    Advance Wars, you have no idea how much i was blown away by how fun it is, as i am not one for Military themed titles but this strategy game was just so light hearted, challenging and fun that i have been playing the series since, i wonder when another game is coming, i want a 3DS Advance Wars game damn it! lol
    Overall a great list as i know it was hard as hell picking this list from so many great titles.

      Both games are graphically very similar it is true, but the complexity of the environment is higher in 007 (in my opinion).

  • @TheSonicfan129
    @TheSonicfan129 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Hello everyone. I am in a bit of a dilemma. I have been looking EVERYWHERE on the internet for a specific Game Boy Advance Game. One of the biggest issues is that I can't even remember the name! I was looking on this video (and a BUNCH of others) to hopefully find game footage with the name, but I haven't seen it. Thankfully, I can describe most of the gameplay and features.
    This game stars two-legged furry creatures, whose hands are only visible when holding something. They have four colors, red, green, yellow, and blue (I think) which makes me believe that this is a four-player game. The main gameplay mechanics were that in the stage, you could kick these blocks (the color depended on the level) across the stage, (if it is on an edge, it will go splat and disappear), and turn the enemies into blocks by obtaining a gun that could turn players/creatures into blocks. You could also jump from ledge to ledge and over rows of blocks, but if you jumped off the edge and didn't reach the other side, you died. The setting is on Earth, with the levels being based on locations of Earth (only kind of broken-down and somehow reduced to floating pieces of land) and you had to travel to various parts of Earth (via a rainbow bridge) to continue to the next level. The challenge was to face off against the three other players to try to kill them, by either kicking blocks into them, or turning them into a block, kicking them against a corner, (making them go splat) or by kicking the player trapped in block over the edge of the stage (You could walk past each other though). If you got hit in any way, either by a player or one of the "cute" animal creatures, then you would have to start the stage all over again, with one life less. There are (at least) three (or five?) stages within each level, with a boss stage at the end. The boss would be determined by whatever creature roamed around the stage, ie. if there was a walrus in an ice stage, the boss of the stage would be a Walrus. The creatures would also get bigger as you won stages, until you get to fight the boss, which was part mechanical and really huge! You had to (surprise) kick blocks into the boss, either at the boss, or at a weak point, and you could only take three hits before you died. The game had 8 levels. List of levels, including bosses: Level 1 (Antarctica)-Walrus boss, Level 2 (Europe?)-Elephant boss, Level 3-Octopus boss, Level 4 -... I forgot. Level 5 (Utah)-Rattlesnake boss (I think it had two snakes to deal with) Level 6-Crab boss, Level 7 (China/Japan)-Dragon Boss, Level 8-Rhino boss.
    That's all I can remember from the game. I know that it's surprising to know SO MUCH about a game, and NOT remember the name. Use to play it a lot when I was a kid too! If anybody could help me figure out the name of this game, I would REALLY appreciate it! I mostly just want both a trip down Memory Lane, and to put the boss music on my Favorites list! (Super catchy)

    • @TheSonicfan129
      @TheSonicfan129 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Nope, not that one. One, the characters were taller, and their hands were within their fur. Also, it was not a 2D platformer, you could roam around in four directions (up, down, left and right). Thanks for the suggestion though. Really appreciate it!

    • @TheSonicfan129
      @TheSonicfan129 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sorry, but there were no humans present within the game I was describing. Just strange, furry, long-tongued (but cute) creatures battling on Earth. Never played Lady Sia anyway, I'm into Pokemon personally.

    The thing that I really like about this list, is that it's not just a list of games that someone could just lookup on someone else's best of list. It feels like you've genuinely played these at least once. I never got to enjoy the advance back i the day since I had moved on from handhelds at that time, but I really raved the GBC back in the late 90s.
    I do remember the first time that I saw my sister played Super Mario World for the advance and how jealous I was that I didn't have it.
    Years later, I've come into owning a Gameboy Player and I friggen love it! Now I'm just looking to fill in my collection with some games and this list looks like a good place to start!

    EDIT AS OF JUNE 3 2018 (yes. It literally took me a year to find this game lol): I found out what the game was and I'm so happy i found it. The game is called Altered Beasts. If you want to read the original comment, I'll leave it here so you can read it.
    Can someone help me? there was a game that impacted my childhood a ton on the gba but I can't find it! if I remember from my childhood you were like someone in armor with a sword and it's a 2d game so I you fight people or something on the way and (i think it's the 1st level) you fight this statue thing that comes to life or something. sorry if this was a bad explanation but it was the best I could describe it from my childhood.

    I have to disagree about Metroid. Not only do I think that Zero Mission is better than Fusion but also that Fusion isn't even remotely as good as Super.
    A thing that annoys me to no end in Fusion is that it's absolutely linear. You found a power and remember a place where that power would allow you to proceed further? Tough luck, sonny Jim, you're going to go exactly the way the developers want you to go because doors will be arbitrarily locked to any other place. It's against the whole Metroid spirit to do that!
    Castlevania I wouldn't want to rate Aria of Sorrow against Symphony of the Night. Both are equally as great. I also love Dawn of Sorrow, even if it's generally rated lower. I've 100%ed all games multiple times and am currently replaying SOTN. A shame that no Castlevania after DoS ever was quite as good.
