Best GBA games????
|
|
| Dreams5 2004-09-08, 3:40 pm |
| Hi!
I picked up a new limited edition Classic GBA SP at Circuit City for only
$77 today. I couldn't resist! Now, I need some good games!
I really like action/rpg's.... I picked up the original NES Zelda for it,
but keep dying...
Can anyone recommend some good games? I also picked up the Namco Museum for
under $8, on sale. That one is OK, for a nice quick play....
My favorite games for my PS2 are: Baldur's Gate 2, Castlevania: LOI,
Gauntlet, and FFX....
Thanks!

Here's a list of RPGs. A note before I begin; my definition of RPG is "a
game where your characters gain experience points which allow your character
to gain levels." Some people use it to mean "a game."
**CURRENT GAMES**
-Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
-Breath of Fire (SNES version + extras)
-Breath of Fire II (SNES version + extras)
-Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (the best Castlevanias are on GBA)
-Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (VERY good)
-Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (I'm serious, buy these)
-Cima: The Enemy
-Dokapon: Monster Hunter
-Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury (comes out later this month)
-Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku
-Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku II
-Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
-Gauntlet: Dark Legacy (supposed to be terrible)
-Lufia: The Legend Returns (I like this series a lot)
-Mario Golf: Advance Tour
-Mega Man Battle Network
-Mega Man Battle Network 2
-Mega Man Battle Network 3: Blue Version
-Mega Man Battle Network 3: White Version
-Mega Man Battle Network 4: Blue Moon
-Mega Man Battle Network 4: Red Sun
-Onimusha Tactics
-Phantasy Star Collection
-Pokemon: Ruby Version
-Pokemon: Sapphire Version
-Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon (good game)
-Shining Soul (this series is a lot like Diablo/Baldur's Gate)
-Shining Soul II
-Sword of Mana
-The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
-The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
**UPCOMING GAMES**
-Final Fantasy I & II Advance (upcoming)
-Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (upcoming - looks very good)
-Mario Tennis (upcoming)
-The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (upcoming)
-Pokemon: Emerald Version (upcoming)
-Pokemon: Fire Red Version (upcoming)
-Pokemon: Leaf Green Version (upcoming)
Yes, those are all RPGs! Most of them are worth playing, too.

Another great "quick play" game is Wario Ware. It looks crazy, but it's
surprisingly good.
It's my personal opinion that FFX is one of the greatest games of all time,
right up there with stuff like Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Soul Calibur II, and
Super Mario 64 or Sunshine; the kings of their respective genres. <NERD>I
liked it enough to buy Tidus' necklace (very cool) off of eBay.</NERD>

This is just in Japan, right? Or will it come here too? I imagine it's the
same as Yellow was to R/B, or Crystal to S/G?

WoW!
What a list!!!!!! I never realized there were so many RPG type games on the
GBA! I would have bought one a long time ago!
Gotta get those Castlevania's too!
Thanks!!!!!!!
P.S. Do you actually wear the necklace? I thought Tidus was cool!

Really? Didn't know you could advance your character in an RPG manor.
Might have to take a peek.
Also, does Mario & Luigi's Super Star Saga count? You can definately
gain exp. and level-up in that, and it's a great game to boot!

As you play golf you gain points that let you level up, and you can
then improve your characters' golf skills.

This also leaves out the 3 best RPGs and games on the system IMHO.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Tactics Ogre
Fire Emblem

I knew I was still missing something. Here's some more I missed:
Car Battler Joe (vehicular combat RPG)
DemiKids: Dark Version
DemiKids: Light Version
Dungeons & Dragons: Eye of the Beholder
Lunar Legend
Robopon 2: Cross Version
Robopon 2: Ring Version
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
(made by Universal instead of EA like the other LOTR games)
World Reborn (Gradius-style, but you level up; not sure how it works)
Yu-Gi-Oh!: Reshef of Destruction (RPG part is somewhat limited)
Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Sacred Cards (like the above, and apparently too easy)
I think the GBA Harry Potter games might be RPGs as well, but I haven't
played them.

I think it's made of stainless steel. Does steel have nickel in it?

Just about ALL jewelry has nickel in it, even gold. Since gold is a soft
metal, I think they put nickel into it to harden it... Not sure, but the
only stuff I can wear has to say nickel free. Even surgical steel stuff
bothers me a LOT!
Oh well, what are you going to do????
