I wish they had something like the Gameboy Player for the SNES that plays Gameboy Advanced games so I could play the SNES GBA ports on my SNES.

again, just my opinion. if you enjoy, more power to you.
Alright I'll bite. What games do you like then? The GBA probably has the most variety of any console. I find it hard to believe that some people can't find anything they like. If you aren't into the mainstream games then fine, there are a plethora of different types to choose from. Out of the people that have a GBA and will actually play a handheld system I have never heard of anyone complain about a lack of high quality games.

I have Super Metroid for SNES, and I think it's okay. Good, not great. I find the scenery dull and there's a little too much back-tracking. Having said that, I can now sit back and await all manner of bug-eyed responses.

I agree with you.

Then again, I am one of those here who does not like the Nintendo series of games. The ones I've ever liked are the Pokemon games, and Super Mario Brothers 2, but Super Mario Brothers 2 was actually a non Mario game that Nintendo took and put Mario characters on....

But as for the big games, Metroid, Zelda, Smash Brothers, Mario, etc, I've always found them boring..and you are right..the scenery in those games are quite boring. I remember in the 16 bit days, the lush and beautiful landscapes in Sonic games, then going back to Mario's pop corn clouds and pasty blue skies..boring. I like my scrolling clouds and water falls a bit too much.

I had never thought of it until reading this thread, but heck yeah, X-com would be a great GBA title. I still have copies for PC floating around, taking up a wopping 2 MB or so (actually probably much less if I go check the PC they are on)

To have the X-Com team on GBA would be excellent.

I'd also go nuts to see Chester Cheetah and CoolSpot from the Sega Genesis ported to GBA...ok, just kidding on those

A new mario game, enough with the ports as I own the originals. Actually, I don't mind the ports as they give the new generation a chance to play these great games, but for the love of god give us a new 2D mario game!

A new zelda game. This is in development by Capcom (who did the GBC zelda games) and hopefully will make it out this fall.

A port of Super Metroid, the best game of all time.

A port of Mortal Kombat 2, not the crap MK games out for the GBA now, but a perfect SNES port.

I have it. It is okay, but the game runs really slowly. You can only save one city. There is no terrain editor. You select from one of many pre-made terrains. There are also no mountains/hills and no underground (no water systems, no subway). No marinas as well, and no medium density (though did SC2000 have medium in the first place? I don't remember). Pretty much everything else is identical. It is still a fun game, though I haven't played it much. Too busy playing The Sims: Bustin' Out, which is an incredibly addictive game (and you don't have to like The Sims for PC, I don't at all).
