Fire Emblem 7 a.k.a The Blazing Sword
Metroid 2, because there's a reason there have been so many fanmade remakes of it...
But I also dug Ultima Runes of Virtue 2... If you ignore the canon. Superior to the SNES version IMO.
Mysterium was also nifty.
shantae for gbc! its a really cute sort of metroidvania thing.
Unfortunately if you want to play on original hardware the og cart is like $600+ dollars, or there was a rerelease cart that is like $60.
Snood for GBA. Some might remember the PC version of Snood.
- Mole Mania
- Donkey Kong Land series isn't too bad
- James Bond 007
- Bionic Commando Elite Forces (GBC)
- Donkey Kong 94
- Some random puzzle games that nobody every played like Heiankyo Alien or Battle Bull
My favourites were always Metroid II and Zelda
Been playing road rash (GBC) and its nice
Kirby games are nice too
Wario Land 3 & 4
Advance Wars
Golden Sun
Dragon Quest 3
Sonic Advance for Gameboy Advance...
Runner up is Super Momotaro Dentetsu II. A game that makes zero sense if you can't read Japanese, but it is very hilarious if you can and are familiar with the culture. In a nutshell, take the absurd length and buying property element of Monopoly, then the bullshit luck-based elements from Mario Party, mix together with a healthy dose of recreational drugs, and you get this game.
Trailer, Bit of Gameplay... Funny thing is they announced their 24th instalment in the series this year for the Nintendo Switch:
That strange Lord of the Rings turn based strategy game.
Mole Mania is pretty fun. And Gameboy donkey Kong is pretty fun, and it's way more than just an arcade port. It's has way more levels and the format is different. It also has a pretty fun move set.
The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age for GBA, I had so much fun playing hotseat with my friends.
Honourable mentions for: Tetris, Battlebots and The March of Penguins.
Does GBA count? Cause FF Tactics Advanced games were awesome.
Pocket Bomberman (GBC), Wario Land (GB), Wario Land II (GBC), Bubble Bobble Old and New (GBA), Donkey Kong '94 (GB), Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Dream Land 2 (GB), Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland (GBA), Kirby and the Amazing Mirror (GBA), Dr. Mario (GB), Tetris (GB), and Tetris DX (GBC), Mario's Picross (GB).
Apart from Zelda and Pokemon: Castlevania, Metroid, Fire Emblem
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I prefer it to the sequels on the DS.
Here's a short list of my favorites:
- golden sun
- fire emblem
EDIT: ... didn't read the post properly. Updated the list for only game boy games *facepalm
Golden Sun and its sequel, Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Easily my two GBA favourites.
Golden Sun and Fire Emblem were pretty much all I needed.
The port of FF4 on the GBA was really good.
Original Gameboy, though, I played a LOT of the Tomogotchi game. I don't know why, but I loved that janky garbage pile of a game.
Wario Land 2 was a constant as well.
I loved kid Icarus. Played the shit out of the game when I was a kid. That a Kirby's Dreamland were my two favorites that I can recall right now.
Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (GBC). I'm convinced it's what got me into JRPGs because of the similarities, despite being a western game. It was localized to my language (Swedish) which was not the case for most games (like pokemon), so young me could actually understand what was going on for once. I really like the art in it too.
So I grew up playing James Bond 007 on my OG Game Boy. It wasn't the greatest game in the world but it provided hours of fun on car trips when I was a kid.
Advance wars, I just picked up the reboot for the switch
If we're allowed GBA then Zelda Minish Cap or Lego Star Wars.
The Urbz: Sims in the City for the GBA (and also the DS).
This is such a hidden gem on the GBA and my favorite GBA game I had. Had great music as well!
Final fantasy Tactics Advance and Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones
The only thing I disliked about Tactics Advance was I felt like they really cheaped out on Ritz's plot. I'm thinking maybe it comes off better in the context of a japanese culture where standing out like she does really IS culturally frowned upon, but it made very little sense to me in the west and I still feel like she got done dirty. Everyone else has a really good reason to stay, Doned doesn't have functional legs, and she's complaining about her hair.
Other than that one single thing, yeah, still one of the best games I've played. I've never seen a game tackle it from that angle before or since.
Yeah! I've seen a lot of people give it some undeserved grief but I agree, it's a fantastic game! Totally agree with you about Ritz.
My favourite GBA game was Metroid Fusion, I wish I still knew where it was
If you own a Switch, it's playable on the GBA app with a Nintendo Switch Online membership.
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Played a lot of that on my SP
Same idea but Return of the King here!
The GBA castlevania games own
I bought the various flavors of Gameboy just to play the slew of those games.
