A few questions about the soon-to-be-extinct GBA library

[Heald]

I was a bit tired last night so I might post some more constructive comments. I'll only comment on any games I have any knowledge of though.

-Advance Wars
The DS sequels include exactly the same, plus a lot more.
-Alien Hominid
Err...isn't this on Newgrounds? Like, for free?
-Bomberman Max
-Bomberman Tournament
I've got Bomberman 2 on the DS and it includes more or less everything a Bomberman game could really.
-Breath of Fire
I've heard this is good, not sure whether it is on the DS though.
-F-Zero Climax/Legend/Maximum Velocity
AFAIK, there is no F-Zero game on the DS (why?!!!) so I guess this is your only avenue for a handheld F-Zero game. It is quite good.
-Fire Emblem
Re-made for the DS, it is really good. It is like a cross between an RPG and Advance Wars, set in a fantasy age.
-LOZ: The Minish Cap
There is a LOZ game for the DS, although I kinda got bored with it as it began really slowly and I didn't have the patience. It does feature stupid cel-shaded Toon Link though, which everyone hates for his overwhelming levels of faggotry.
-Mario Kart Super Circuit
Mario Kart DS is much, much better in every way, and include tracks from every Mario Kart title preceding this game (so every one except MK: Wii).
-MegaMan Battle Network
An okay RPG-esque game, not sure if they made any for the DS. I imagine the mechanics would be much the same any-road, but I'd imagine if they did make one for the DS, the dual-screen feature would be immensely helpful.
-Pokemon Emerald
All the main Pokemon games are exactly the same. If you have any of the D/P/Pt series, then skip this, unless you really care about transferring your Mudkipz to your DS.
-Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
I hated this game with a passion, plus they are bringing them out on the DS.
-Sonic Advance 1
Hmm...this is probably more true to the original games than the DS Sonic games, which included loads of really stupid features.
-WarioWare, Inc.
Re-made for the DS with touch features, and IMHO much more fun on the DS.

OK, Alien Hominid, Bomberman Max, Bomberman Tournament, Crash GBA, Dr. Mario, Duke Nukem, FF, Harvest Moon, Klonoa GBA, Battle Network, Mystery Dungeon, and WarioWare are off.

Harmony of Dissonance, Fire Emblem, F-Zero, NiDL, Megaman Zero, Metroid GBA, and Sonic Advance have all gone on the list.


Thanks guys. Any advice on the rest? I'm down to stuff nobody touched:

-Capcom Classics Mini Mix
-Chu Chu Rocket!
-Golden Sun
-Gradius Galaxies
-Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time


...And stuff with mixed reviews:

-Advance Wars
-Breath of Fire
-Mario Kart Super Circuit
-Mr. Driller 2


I know, the DS has expanded on a lot of these games, but I'm a sucker for sequels and rehashes. Besides, I still need some questions answered.

Like, Shonta, you said Advance Wars is good "if you like strategy." Did you mean RPG strategy or puzzle strategy? 'Cuz I love one and hate the other. >>'

[Blademaster]

OK, Advance Wars and Golden Sun are both yes-worthy. Capcom Classics and Gradius I doubt need touching between the Virtual Console, PSN, and this computer...

That chops the list down to these last few:


-Breath of Fire
-Chu Chu Rocket!
-Mr. Driller 2
-Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time


...Wait.

Isn't Sands of Time the name of the Gamecube game, too?
