Just cos I'm curious...

If you dont own a GBA...

What game release would make the GBA an essential purchase?

This could be a revamped older title... or a modern recent release... a titles your waiting for, or a game of your own design...

Final Fantasy GBA? MGS on the GBA? (GTA is already out for the GBC... how about a new version? ... any ideas?


For me... it would be (the speccy classic) School Daze (or back to skool) ... (the BBC B classic) Elite ... (another Speccy Classic) MAnic Miner (possibly Jest Set Willy) ... or (A CBM masterpiece) Paradroid ...

If you already own a GBA... what games are you most looking forward to/intending to buy/think has made it an essentiual purchase?

"I See Welsh People"?

I see 'em every day!

Anyways, back to the topic....

I bought the Game Boy Advance because I'm a fan of the Game Boy and decided to try out Nintendo's latest handheld.

However this does not mean I will be getting the tamagotchi sized PokÈmon Mini!

I was right to choose the Game Boy Advance as I haven't spent any day without playing it at least once.

Games that I've got:

Super Mario Advance: Ok game, could have been better.
F-Zero Maximum Velocity: One again, Ok, better than SNES but in my opinion it needed better tracks.
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2: Not so good. True to the 3D versions, but it's very repetative and too tempting to cheat.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit: BRILLIANT!
Jurassic Park III: The DNA Factor: Don't even go there!
Castlevania: Great platform game!
Rayman Advance: Lil bit tricky, need to save after EVERY level. Good game though.
Bomberman Tournament: Battle mode is brilliant!

I'm looking forward to:

Doom (Nov. 16th)
Sonic Advance (March '02)
Chu Chu Rocket! (7th December '01)

and there are many many more titles already out that are worth getting.

Pity the games are priced so high, then again you all seem to be in favour of being ripped off! Remember that topic I did about games on PS2 which are around £40?

To be honest, the only thing that would make me get one is a lottery win, as I can't really justify £80 on a machine I would hardly use.

Mario Kart made me buy a GBA.

Wario Land 4 made me want a GBA, because Wario rules.

Diddy Kong Pilot made me want to play games like a child, tilting away at the pad, thinking it would make a difference.

And all of the time I keep hearing about other games I might want.

The GBA rules.

Why did I not see this before?

Plus now I can play those new Zelda titles.

Are they enhancing the game/adding anything/etc...

Or is it the SNES version?
