Are GBA remakes/ports of SNES games (Mario Advance, DKC, etc.) worth playing over their original SNES counterparts?

are GBA remakes/ports of SNES games (Mario Advance, DKC, etc.) worth playing over their original SNES counterparts?

None of them. The only reason they had any worth was to have those games portable. There were no other options then, so they were JUST WHAT I NEEDED

...

Absolutely not. They're fucking terrible.

At the time, yeah, because they were portable, but they generally are just worse.

Like you've got shit like this. Ignoring the other subtle differences, the biggest problem is the brightness turned up. The GBA had such a shit screen, that this was necessary, but nowadays?

As far as I know, World had some minor changes to it, and had all those extra eReader levels, but the small screen really limits your view of the level

The e-reader stuff was bizarre. I remember them allowing you to have the cape in Super Mario Bros. 3.

Terrible physical DLC, though. A precursor to Amiibos.

i don't think world had any e-reader levels, iirc it was super mario bros 3 (advance 4) that had them

I can't really comment on the e-reader things themselves, they were such a small thing back then that I never even knew what they were until years later

Ah, I must have been thinking of that, then
All I know is that one of them had a bunch of e-reader levels which the Wii U VC version had unlocked, and you can get a romhack made from the VC release to get them in a normal rom of the game
Still unsure if I should just emulate 3 on SNES, or play it on GBA for those extra levels

The SMB2 port has voice acting which is kinda of cool but otherwise no.

Not really since you can emulate the originals on anything and the e-reader levels in the advance version of SMB3 exist as romhacks.

probably just my shit taste talking here, but the soundtrack on here isn't as bad as everyone says.
i quite like it actually

I have no idea why I thought this dumb shit was cool as a kid.
>Requires game, e-reader, link cable, TWO FRIGGEN GBAs, and cards to work
>Only able to play shitty NES ports with one system

I remember the "optimal" way to play Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, was to have four GBAs, and four link cables. I can't remember if they added in any bullshit e-reader stuff.

It's kinda funny though. The Wii U is basically a Gamecube + link cable + GBA bundled into one system. Someone at Nintendo had a real hard on for that idea.

Wait, do you mean the e-read levels have been made as romhacks for the nes version of the game, or just the one that unlocks them in the GBA remake?

>or just the one that unlocks them in the GBA remake?
That one.

Damn, you got my hopes up for playing the extra levels with the more screen space of the original game

Over? No. But they might be worth playing out of curiosity.

Too much bloom

did funky use MS paint?

Only patched Final Fantasy 6

That doesn't count, there was never a US release of the SNES version.
>But the PSX vers-
NO.

Back in the day, before my friends had GBA link cables (not a single one of us did, for whatever reason), we used to trade Pokemon by transferring one pokemon into Pokemon Colosseum, unplugging the GBA, putting the other game in, transferring the 2nd pokemon, then switching GBA games again, and finishing the process.
Took like 30 minutes to do one trade lol

>store sign is on the roof
dumb ape

i don't even care anymore, when I get around to playing the dkc trilogy, I'm playing gba dkc3 just for the comic sans
bless

Outside a few choice games, the GBA was an awful piece of hardware.
As a kid the ports was all I had access to and was great for the time, but as an adult with access to the original games and Emulators it's pale in comparison.

Growing up when Sprite Flash animations were a thing, I always hated the Sprites that came from GBA games(Again, outside a few choice games) because they looked washed of color/Sun bleached and the color palettes were never as dark or rich as SNES/Genesis.

...

It was designed to be a handheld SNES, they had to make constraints but it served it's purpose. It's strange though, there really weren't that many SNES ports.

there was a fair amount, off the top of my head, mario advance 1-4, dkc, some final fantasy stuff, a link to the past, mega man and bass, super ghouls and ghosts

Yeah, you pretty much named all of them. I guess to be fair those were the only ones in the SNES library that were worth porting over for Nintendo.

What is it about Comic Sans? Every single time.

The Mario All-Stars sprite is much better. Dunno what they were thinking when they changed it for the remake.
