Yo Sup Forums, GBA time.
What's your favorite GBA games? Whats your favorite memories? How did you prefer playing GBA games? On a TV with your gamecube player, modded AGB, SP, AGS-101, micro, hell, even the DS? Got any good memories of playing this shit at school hiding it from teachers? Loved doing that myself.
The system may have had a short life of just 3 years, but the games lived on for 7 years before hardware support was phased out.
Wrong board kid
the system may be older than you, but this is certainly the right board for it.
Have you ever played Ninja Five-O? I emulated it years ago since it was with some big ass rom pack and the name really stood out. It's actually a really solid game! Really justifies the use of a GBA flash cart too, considering the retard prices the game attracted.

Playing Rhythm Tengoku right now.
Pretty funny game but I'm stuck at clapping mini game.
loved the class system in this one. made some of the optional boss fights really interesting once you started spreading out the djinn and got some wicked classes like Protector which made you a super healing tank warrior, spamming wish well and just brutalizing with melee.
I actually started collecting gameboy stuff a while back. I have about 48 games right now.
that's pretty awesome. Did it cost you much? What's the condition?
Still have my original cartridge.
GBA isn't allowed on /vr/ newfag
>short life of just 3 years
Software didn't give the second the DS came out either. Mother 3, Pokemon Emerald, and Drill Dozer all came out in 2006 for instance.
is there a translation for it
Hajime no ippo the fighting
Tactics ogre the knight of lodis
megaman zero 2
megaman battle network 3
fire emblem 6
Really recommended Hajime no ippo. It's like punch out with multiplayer and lots of different characters.
Played SS all through grade 7 with a bunch of friends. We all got stuck on the final boss on the same week. The down syndrome guy Dane was the first guy to beat Cackletta's ghost. He wrote down on paper all his damage and healing that occured and calculated the boss' exact health. Pretty bro move at the time.
this is very true, but it's hard to deny the DS became a replacement despite Nintendo's insistence that the Gameboy brand would exist along side the DS. It's weird to think about how it was released just after the GBA debuted.

Boktai 1-3 are some of the greatest GBA games I've played. Check them out OP if you haven't.
My GBA of choice is a modded AGB with a 101 screen. Trying to track down the official rechargeable battery pack released in Japan is a bitch.
you don't really need one.
why not
There is, check GBATemp or Romhacking
shining soul 2 was my favorite action rpg for gba, tons to collect but never had anyone for multiplayer. full of cool stuff to collect like sega letters and classes to unlock
I never knew what the good GBA games were as a kid. In fact I just got a bunch of games like the Mario remakes and shit like that. Wasn't until just recently that I discovered Metroid Zero Mission and Castlevania Aria of Sorrow.
Got it on launch. Came with a bunch of goodies like stickers and a keychain. Favorite game is advance 2.
I thought the player was ok. But some games didn't look too good on it
yeah, the software side of the GBA player is pretty poor, nintendo's emulation standards have always been shit. There's homebrew that has a really good solution to be paired with the hardware that many argue is the best way to play GBA games. At least, when not on the go.
this
best way to emulate GBA?
mgba, original hardware is still the best.
The only thing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is good enough for is wiping my ass with the instruction manual.
My best GBA memory is playing Shining Soul II with my cousin.
Hatena satena and guru guru logic champ are awesome puzzlers that never came west.
It's my favorite handheld of all time.
Nothing will beat that glorious feeling of being able to take a "portable" SNES anywhere.
I remember my local Toys R' Us having a playable demo unit like 2-3 months prior to its June 2001 release. I probably spent like a good 2-3 hours (in combined in different visits) playing Super Mario Advance and being so amazed at TECHNOLOGY.
My favorite was the GBA SP definitely. Too bad the L and R buttons stopped working. I got myself the Micro on eBay around 2009 for 50 bucks in mint condition but I can't bring myself to pay over 50 dollars for a shitty used SP. Maybe one day.
H-H-H-HURRY UP
Advance Gaurdian Heroes
Super Gunstar Heroes
The FF ports
Shining Soul
Dragon ball advance adventure
Sweet mother of fuck did the GBA have gems
It's a rhythm game with no plot. The 3DS one has plot and it's easy to play without it too.
Onimusha Tactics was pretty boring compared to FFTA. But Tactics Ogre was the best SRPG for GBA.
>4th grade
>pokemon blowing up again that year
>tradin, battlin after class
>coats and bags kept in an unlocked, unwatched closet in every class
>sneak back in during recess and steal gameboy games out of other kid's bags
>sell shitty games to gamestop to buy good ones
Undoubtedly M&L: SSS.
Mother 3 is a close second though.
I still can't beat Polyrhythm 2
On a hacked 3DS imho.
>8-3
>you're stuck on 2-4
That one really kicked my shit in on my first couple of tries.
Ironically, it's now my second or third favorite game.
sorry we don't talk about video games here
GBA isn't retro faggot. You should be auto banned from /vr/ for suggesting it.
why not emulate it? curious ti know
PSP has a pretty decent emulator that runs. Only issues I ran into are 2.5D games like Duke Nukem or Driver (which run slow anyways).
I wish there was a report option for sheer idiocy
Never been big on emulation on anything after the SNES and Genesis.
If I'm going to emulate GB/GBC/GBA, I'll do it on a Nintendo handheld. Maybe get a decent used GBA SP and a flash cart, sometime soon.
I play on my Micro from time to time, as I still have all my GBA collection with me. However, it gets a little uncomfortable to hold after a while. Plus, the battery doesn't last as long and I don't trust shoddy Chinese knock-offs. Either way, it's hard to get a decent and near-pristine battery for it these days.
i bought a mint condition micro with 3 nintendo faceplates and an ez-flash iv, really enjoying it the GBA has a shit ton of good games.
I know what you mean.
Robotech: The Macross Saga
I love this game so much. Bowsers Inside Story is good yeah, but the lack of gimmick in this makes it hold up better for me
Nice dude. Consider upgrading to an ez4 deluxe or an everdrive at some point. Flashing 32 MB roms to NOR all the time sucks
Yeah it's kind of a pain and literally takes forever to delete and add new roms to and from the NOR.
this was pretty fun
I'm having fun with fire emblem 6,Roy Is a shitty lord stat and personality wise,but the level design Is very good. It's also fun knowing what happens past FE7.
Also,AGS-101 Is a patrician taste. 001 Is fine,but there's no going back if you ever use an AGS-101 5 minutes and can afford one. Micro is for ants and if you have a modified GBA 101,you either fucked yourself out of money's worth,are an expert grease monkey or fucked your $80 GBA and are weeping.
When i got into my preteen years i had a lame ass stepdad that would ground me, bored and looking through my room for things to do and found me old game boy with this cartridge in it. Got me through many perilous nights haha.
I remember there being a really good yu yu hakusho game. Anyone know the name?
Hamtaro, Ham Ham Heartbreak
without this no collection is complete
The gameboy micro's headphone jack is laughably shitty, with static out the ass. Is the AGB or AGS models any better?
>all the rapemachine legendary weapons that you're afraid to use in case one of your units gets rushed and it breaks
Don't have a pic, but you should definitely play Mario Tennis: Power Tour.
It's a Tennis RPG. Story is super easy and cute, gameplay is fun, has a lot of unlockablr super moves, and the sprite work is beautiful. Made by Camelot, so you know it's good.
I play through it about once a year and I still find new dialogue from NPCs I've seen a thousand times.
You did played the trilogy right user? and yes, that includes the 3rd untranslated game.
You did go to the post game content and faced the super bosses did you?
Sugar will be sad if you didn't, you don't wanna make Sugar cry right?
