Well, I've accumulated an amount of Sprite RocketCash that must be used by the 29th.

I really want a GameBoy ADVANCE game, but an EXTREMELY good GameBoy or GameBoy Color game would work.

    Games I own:
  • Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
  • The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening(original, not DX)
  • The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
  • Tetris
  • Pokemon Red
  • Super Mario Land

    Games I'm thinking about:
    Advance:

  • Sonic Advance
  • MegaMan Battle Network
  • Breath of Fire
  • Breath of Fire II
  • Golden Sun
  • Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles
  • Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars

    Color:

  • Lufia: The Legend Returns
  • MegaMan XTreme
  • MegaMan XTreme 2

Sports games are out automatically, and fighting games are only considered if OTHERWORLDLY good.

If you suggest a game, please suggest why.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

*Sonic advance isn't that great. I'd advise against it.
*MM;BN I DO advise. It has a childish look, but it is very deep, and well done. The chip system is really pwnage.
*BOF: If you played the SNES version, don't bother. If you haven't, you might want to invest in it.
* BOF2: Ditto, I think.
*Golden Sun: Go for it. It's kinda short, but it's appealing, and it's decently paced.
I also suggest Lufia.


The rest of the games I don't know about.

I loved the old Sonic games on the genesis, the screenshots I've seen of Sonic Advance look a bit too cartoony, but I figured the gameplay might more than make up for it.

I love anything and everything MegaMan

I've only played BoF 3 and 4 on PSX, liked them a lot.(I have BoF on a GBA emulator though, cause it came in the package when I downloaded it and C: CotM(Which I own))

Screenshots of Golden Sun looked good.

I played the Original Lufia a long time ago, but got stuck and didn't get very far, so I dunno how much I'd like it.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

I haven't played too much of it, but I highly enjoy Golden Sun. I would recommend that one.

I reccomend Breath of Fire 1 or 2. They are pretty good rpgs, even if you have played em before on SNES and they have the advantage of being portable.

I know what doom is and doom is a shooter. Doom was also crappy on SNES, it'll probably be crappy on GBA. I hate Doom.

I think It's down to either Golden Sun or MegaMan Battle Network.

Golden Sun is completely new, and a good looking RPG on top of that. It's also cheaper.

MMBN apparently doesn't have turn-based combat, which counts against it since I thought it was an RPG, really, though it's probably good in its own right.

BoF I can do without.

The logic train ran off the tracks when Densetsu said:
  • Golden Sun

  • Only if you want to have the first part in an epic GBA adventure.
    In other words...the Ending is kinda a false ending, and it leads up to the next game.

    Other than that, It's an amazing game

    Golden sun's really a better RPG than MM:BN.

    The only problem IS THAT GOLDEN SUN IS TOO FREAKING SHORT.

    You can take your tike and beat the game in 15 hours. I think you can blow through it in 10.

    MMBM isnt bad. The chip system is innovative.

    Basically, you decide on 30 "chips" or abilities you want to use in battle.. like, use a wave, summon a monserish type thing, break a block, etc..
    The feild is a 3x9 grid. Ya shoot stuff along the rows with your blaster, and use stuff with A. certain enemies need xxx attack to be effective, some you can just blow up with the blaster, etc. Its neat.
    One thing I found silly about it though: Its story is based around a japanese child who cant find his way out of a wet paper bag. He needs his pet (MegaMan) To tell him *EVERYTHING*. Other then that, Its pretty challenging, and I enjoyed it about as much as Golden Sun.
    I recommend holding off on Golden sun till its oh so obvious sequel comes out, then get both and pwn. Your choice.

    Since I have to use my RocketCash, and EBGames.com is the only participating merchant that carries MM:BN for less than $40, and since it's only a pre-owned copy, I think I'll go with Golden Sun now, and then buy MM:BN from Capcom directly and save myself $10-15
