You know I bit the bullet and finally picked up a platinum Gamebooy Advance SP a couple days ago and although there are an endless amount of great games out there I was thinking that there must be some that we have played in the past that would just be great on this system.

I was thinking that with all these turn based games being so popular, XCOM: UFO defense would perfect for this little monster!!!! Anyone else have any titles they would love to see on the system?

endless? well, i bottomed out at around 8 games... i checked out gameranking's top gba games and imo, they are slim pickings.

xcom would be great!
new version of tetris w/ memory saves
any new tactical game

darkside

I would love an all Game Boy version of Pac-Man VS. That game is too much fun for words.

KID ICARUS!!!!

Why does nintendo insist on shitting on this classic

I would love to see Super Metroid. Never got to play that except a little bit under emulation.

wildcatlh

Amen.

illennium

I would like to play Chrono Trigger, just to see what all the hype is about.

Also, Diablo would be cool. And a sequel to Vandal Hearts.

CHRONO TRIGGER!!!!

CreatureX

Smash Bros GBA and a new Mario Kart Double Dash GBA!

jrobinson

Final Fantasy Tactics.

I'd love to see:

Final Fantasy 2
Final Fantasy 3
Super Tecmo Bowl
Animal Crossing Advance
Puzzle games like Dr. Mario, Yoshi's Cookies, Tetris, etc.

CaboWabo

Punch Out
Excitebike
Kid Icarus
Tecmo Superbowl
Vegas Stakes
Super Mario All-Stars

jediwicz

Super Star Wars, Empire and Return.

Funny... I saw the title of the thread and immediately thought, "X-Com!" Here's to a quality new member!

Why the X-Com code sits, gathering dust somewhere, makes no sense. It's almost nine years old, so there's a whole new generation who aren't aware of this unbelievably great game. And there are plenty of machines available on which to do it justice.

Aphex Twin

A GBA version of Superman 64 would be cool.

Dan Average

All of them.

Slim Pickings? Are we even talking about the same system? We're talking about the GAME BOY ADVANCE. Not the NGAGE.

SUPER METROID

The hell you say! I'd almost be willing to buy an SNES and Super Metroid for anybody that hasn't played it.

huh?

Yeah, thats crap. Go play super metorid this weekend. its a homework assignment...

I've got a SNES but I don't own Super Metroid...and I've never played it. So, you could save $20 because I already own the system.

SMBA4 was a mistake for me. never played it before, but based on the rankings, i picked it up. it just reinforced why i don't play platformers. (edit: actually, i did play mario and luigi in the arcade when i was younger so i have fond memories of that game... but translated onto the gameboy, it is not the same. btw, i actually thought mine was defective b/c i kept looking for another game called SMBA4... not super mario 3)

again, just my opinion. if you enjoy, more power to you.

I know what he means. I don't like platform games. I don't like Nintendo mascots either. So on GBA I only have the good RPG's, some Capcom games, and some Sega games.

I am interested in a new release of Sim City 2000 though. Saw it for $20 at Walmart, anyone play it? How good is it compared to PC version? How many save files? Any tile/map editors? And how is the control?

Setzer

A few old Square titles I never got to play...

Final Fantasy 3
Treasure Hunter G
Bahamut Lagoon

and I would love an updated Golgo-13!
