Moi. ('hi' in tramp language)

I'm getting my GBA NES System sometime soon coming from Canada but it wont come with any games, so can you help me choose a good game (preferbly new). Can you tell me some good things about the game too?

I saw this one on Ebay : [URL]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48454&item=8115719936&rd=1[/URL]

It looks good for it money but are there any other deals that I should look at?

Thanks.

Might be crap to you but to some of us they were the first games we played, and the original Zelda is arguably the most challenging one ever.

Went out today and bought a few games in advance 0 Super Mario Advance 4, Final Fantasy Tactics, and the Zelda Link to the past (woolworths has this in their sale at 19.99).

Still don't know which classics to get, but I cancelled preorder with GAME and am going to Gamestation instead - they give you a free classic game of you choice!

Everyone should play the original Mario Bros and Zelda as much as possible.

If it weren't for all of our loving for the originals, you would-nay have such titles as Zelda: OOT or Mario Sunshine, two of the best games evah.

I demand an official written note of apology.

Or not, whatever you want really, I think I've made my point. *vanishes*

The original Mario, Zelda etc. are all crap? I didn't think you had taste before but now... Now I KNOW you haven't.

And Bomberman isn't even the bomberman we all know and love, ither, apparently.

And i'm getting Mario Land 4 too!

I dont see the point in all of the Classic NES games they are releasing with the console. They're all crap except Bomberman which is always good...

My uncle bought one of these, works perfectly and there was the full amount of games, admittedly some were obscure, but they all worked.

These and the SM4 mentioned later are all obviously pirated and originate from China, licensing laws are totally screwed up and the authorities aren't in the least bit interested in cracking down on the pirates because they bring in the very popular US$ which China, ironically, can't get enough of. I suspect you'll find your SM4 saves as normal as well.

BTW, maybe I missed it, but if someone was getting a GBA NES Edition what would be the games to get to start off with, I know I'm getting FF Tactics as it is the only FF I dont have.
