The Neo Geo catridge console

[petik1]

I think handhelds should be categorized separately, but they're still consoles. The only difference is that they have their own screen and power supply built in.

I'm tempted to say GBA SP.  Sorry Famicom

I know some people insist that handhelds aren't consoles, so to satisy those folks I'd say the Super Famicom.
I played PS2 the most avidly, myself.

I love the GBA SP hardware, but there are very few GBA games I've gotten excited about. Any suggestions that could change my mind?

Wario Land 4
Super Mario Advance
Mr. Driller 2
Klonoa
Street Fighter Alpha 3

The GBA SP is wonderful, but I love it because it allows me to play GB games and actually be able to see the screen.

• Double Dragon Advance


• Kirby - Nightmare in Dreamland


• Mega Man & Bass


• Mega Man Battle Network 1 & 2


• Sonic Advance (for me, this felt like Sonic 4)


• Super Mario Advance 4 with e-Reader cards

Forgot about Nightmare In Dream Land. The GBA seems to have a lot of really great remakes.

[L___E___T]

Megaman Zero 1-4
Link to the Past, Minish Cap
Mario Kart Advance
Ninja Cop
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow
Yoshi's Island
Metroid Zero Mission
Warioware
SMB3,4 and Megaman & Bass were mentioned already.

These are all MUST play games in my opinion.

I have to disagree on SF Alpha 3.  It can't handle the game and having only four buttons drives you nuts.  SF2 Revival is more playable I think but still has some ugly art changes.  In SFA3, a lot of the artwork was condensed down to GBA resolution and just looks bad.

[Nightstar699]

Yeah but it has Yun...!

On a serious note, I get your point. I honestly meant to say SSF2TR, got my games confused.  SFA3 was a major downgrade from the actual game, where as SSF2TR recreated it pretty faithfully.

Edit: And I actually did like the character portraits in SSF2TR, but I guess that's just me. I still prefer the original ones from ST.

I like the portraits a little less than the originals, but I was actually talking about some of the new backgrounds and those changes.

Also check out these gems:

Drill Dozer
F Zero
Doom
Mario vs DK
Gunstar Super Heroes
Mother 3
Metroid Fusion
Advance Wars

Astro Boy is also a must play, one of the best games I've played.  As is Warioland 4.  I bought it new when I first got my GBA and hadn't played a Warioland before.  I fell right into it and completed it 100% the music is amazing and I love how creatively random the game is, especially with all the vinyl collectables.
