I own a Gamecube and a GBA. Do you know why? That's right Nintendo.

And so it pi$$es me off when I'm being guilted into playing Beyond Good and Evil, Metal Gear Solid and Crystal Chronicles.

It's not that I don't want to. It's just Nintendo have a far greater appeal to me.

This is why I've been playing Mario Golf lately.

This is also why, in our summer of need, the legions of Ninty's have turned to Nintendo's much improved GBA.

It's pathetic to think how we criticised what is fastly becoming the greatest system in the generarion. If you collate the sales of the GBA and the SP... this is the biggest selling system in the world.

Yes Nintendo are crap in the home console market. But come on ladies and gentlemen, they make wonderful software and truly know how to run the handheld race.

But now I need your help. I'm currently cleaning up the world of Pokemon Sapphire. Why I took so long to buy the game is beyond me. Because it certainly does rule. But what's next?

I know I've pestered you all like this before, it's just there are loads of GBA games I let slip and really wish to play through. I'm tempted, very tempted, to get a few "NES CLASSICS" but with Mario and Luigi, Donkey Kong Country 2 and Banjo Kazooie: Gruntilda's Revenge still out there... I wonder whether I'm jumping the gun.

Recommendations?

Mario & Luigi. Banjo's great, but Mario & Luigi is excellent. I'm waiting for Mario Vs. Donkey Kong myself... looks amazing.

I'll second that on Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. Probably the best GBA game I've played, and easily one of the best games of last year.

It's VERY well designed, and it's Nintendo-based humour is great.

Yeah, it's the first handheld game I've actually laughed at. You'll have a grin on your face throughout the entire thing.

Why????

Acclaim will remain imortalised with their 120 Dark Souls collected.

Sitting neatly as their finest piece of craft work.

Must remember it as a legend rather than re-live it as an outdated action adventure game.

Is Paper Mario like Super Mario RPG? If so, yes.
