This fuckin thing.

>>458531
Dude yes. I still have the printer for mine.

>>458457
Why do people think owning a sealed game is the equivalent to striking oil?
Can I make money off this? I have a sealed copy of Crash Nitro Kart on ps2, will hipsters buy that shit for 700$?

Also, every answer that isn't Wario Land 3 is a terrible answer and you should feel ashamed. Shantae is acceptable too but who even played it when it was new?

>He got Silver instead of Gold master race

>>458597
I like you.
anyone know how Wily's Revenge did/is doing on the Virtual Console, I know the NES games keep getting added, but the GB one seem to have stopped. Did it not do well?

Actually playing through it again now

It's also my favorite Zelda game.

First game I ever 100%

black man who belongs to me

I have hard time deciding between Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Pokemon Yellow. With both I spent long time, with both despite occasional hardship (mostly in the former) I had plenty of time, finishing both filled me with that nostalgic feeling one gets when achieving something long worked for but at the same time - having to bring the whole adventure to an end.

GBA isn't /vr/ anyway.

-zelda trilogy (ages seasons awakening)
-wario land trilogy but especially 2
-that mega man game with punk, ballade, etc
-mario land 2

Bionic Commando is a close second.

>GBA not retro

I shiggydiggy doo

>>459058
It isn't. I remember getting one at the end of middle school.

>>459058

It's not. /vr/ only goes up to 5th gen.

6th gen (GBA, Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, XBox) don't count.

Gameboy color is the cutoff.

Donkey Kong '94 is the best. I think it's better than Donkey Kong Country.

Also, Looney Tunes.

Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters.

I think it's better than the NES game. Also, that final boss, oh man.

>>459058

Top lel, it's as retro as the Gamecube.

Favorite Game Boy game is this awesome fucker.

>>459058
2001 dude

>>458431
>>hardmode: no GBA

How is that difficult? The GBA isn't retro.

Also, Shantae, Dragon Quest 1-3 and Monsters 1 & 2, Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel, Wario Land 1-3, LoZ: Link's Awakening and Oracle series, Metroid 2, and, probably most of all, Magi-Nation.

fite meh

>>458974
You can find carts as low as 150$

I'm waiting for some ignorant shit at a goodwill or yard sale to pick up a copy. It'll happen someday. I hope

Also,

>3000$

Still my favorite handheld RPG.

>>459078
Lol dude stop just stop
1/10 troll

>>459349
What are you implying? That guy would be 24 years old or so, and he's right, GBA is only as old as the Gamecube

>>458597
That's actually the only GB Megaman game I own.

>>459118
Agreed. That version was more fun for me than the NES version.

>>459326
Legend III was my favorite of the series. I'm hoping the fantranslation of the DS remake gets done.

>>459414
I am curious as to why it is your favorite because I know the mechanics were utterly changed to be more like the first two. I still like FFLIII since it is my first RPG, but not as much as the second.

This probably doesn't really count, but I really enjoyed Dragon Quest 1 & 2 for GBC, especially DQ1. I kind of liked not having a party

Probably Battle Unit Zeoth, SML, Metroid 2, SML2, Warioland, and Zeruda Rinku's Awakenimg

>>459430
I actually prefer the more Final Fantasy controls. SaGa has always been a bit frustrating for me to play and I have yet to actually play through any other games. The DS remake of 3 was remade to be more like a normal SaGa game.

Also, the music of Legends 3/SaGa 3 was done by Ryuji Sasai, the same guy who did Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

>>459452
When re-reading my sentence I realized I didn't state what I was referring to, but yeah I am wondering why you are awaiting the remake since it was re-hauled to be more SaGa like rather than experience points and levels. I'd imagine that would be a turn off since most people who like the SaGa system gravitate to FFLII were as people who aren't that fond of it gravitate to FFLIII which is why the SaGa 3 remake probably wouldn't appeal to fans of the original, or at least I'd assume so.

>>459485
I want to give the SaGa series a fair shot, and I think replaying one of the games I know I loved the story for, even if it's really corny, might help me get over the hump.

>>459514
Fair enough, though I personally think if you were unable to get into FFLI and II because of its growth mechanics and other mechanics then the series may not be for you. It isn't a series that tries to appeal to everyone and fairly polarizing. So if you don't end up enjoying it because of the different mechanics that is fine.

RTS? On my Game Boy?

It's more fun than you think!

>>459326
Gonna second this.
I'm pleased with the amount of SaGa love on this board.

>>459414
I just finished FFL3 yesterday. I like it.
But is it just me, or is the game... really easy?

Midgame, I just taught everyone Stone and would destroy 9/10 encounters with that. Late game everyone had some all-hitting spell, be it Flare, Nuke, Flood, White, etc. and I would just spam those to get through dungeons... then use one of my 9 tents before the boss. And during a boss I could just spam CureB with one character and never die...

Don't get me wrong, though, it was really fun.

Never did get all those treasures though

>>459635
>really easy
Yeah, after getting to Pureland. the difficulty really tapers off once you get a hold of the "gray" spells. I remember earlier bosses kicked my ass when I first played the game, though.

I used to play the shit out of this game.

When I was a kid, I used to play this with my cousin. We'd start a new save every time we saw each other so we could be different classes.

>>459684
Mah Nigga! I have the NES and GBC version of it. I wish the Wii rerelease of DQ1, 2, and 3 had come out over here.

>>459725
Me fucking too. I want to play DWIII again so badly.

>>458664
Me too! Fuck getting those coins and treasure was addictive.

Good game.

>>458531
This

>>458431 >>459036 and >>459647 were already posted, so I'll go with Kirby's Dream Land 2 - arguably the best game in the Kirby series.

Loved this game. Always picked the Blue board. Poliwrath was my first second evolution Pokemon from it.

>>459670
I was so utterly disappointed by this game... but in retrospect it's kind of charming.

>>460334
High five!
How much do you love its music?

>>459829

>Ball N' Kid

>implying it isn't the GOAT series

>>458635
>Gold

I'm sorry to hear your childhood sucked.

>>459635
Yeah, it is generally considered the easiest game in the entire franchise. Though forging magic through elemental stones and time traveling is great. I am sure the remake altered the difficulty.

>>460357
It was good music. Took me a while to figure out though that it was actually the Japanese opening to the anime.

>>460415
game and watch gallery series so fucking good

>>459036
This. I know Hideo Kojima is a hard man to read, but why does he make the densest and most replayable MGS games on portable systems? MGS GB and Peace Walker are probably longer than all the games in the numbered series combined

>>458664
This, Donkey Kong (arcade), and Tiny Toons: Bab's Big Break

>All the game and watch games
>Pokemon Crystal
>Wario Land
>Street Fighter Alpha: Warrior's Dreams

First and most cherished Zelda

>>458613
>Not this one
Best soundtrack on the original GB.

Already mentioned were all Wario Land games, G&W Gallery and Link's Awakening.

Though I prefer the Oracle games to LA.

I just dug the ones out of a storage space I had, so I'll list them (just he GBA games)-

Pokemon Trading Card Game
Super Mario Land
Pokemon Silver
Pokemon Red
James Bond 007 (I used to play this for HOURS, fuck I love it)
The Punisher (I can remember playing this for hours)
Tamagotchi
Power Rangers

It's funny that I found this thread. I have quite a few more but I'm drunk. I don't really feel like getting the others other and I have a huge vintage collection. It's just what I pulled with a couple hand fulls and put on my desk.

I didn't get my atomic purple GBC out yet so I'm stuck with the GBA SP for now.

>>464561
>James Bond 007
fuck yeah, I remember beating the hell out of that game numerous times. It was like a modern Links Awakening with Bond gadgets, guns, and gambling

First game I got with my GB, and what a game it was.

Pokemon Blue
Super Mario Land
Super Mario Land 2
Penguin Wars
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back From the Sewers
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Radical Rescue
Balloon Kid

>>464572

I played it longer than any other classic gameboy game. It really is like a gameboy Zelda in secret agent, James Bond 007 mode.

Shit it's fun, and few people experienced it.

>>464494
this is my answer, but I'm too lazy to go find a picture.

>>464605

Oh, and the first Super Mario Land is crap. He moves around like a crack addict.

It's nothing like other Mario games. I used to be good at this too....fuck.

>>464572

oh god yes

i would keep a save that was just in morocco so i could just go and explore. that part of the game seemed massive to me

played this nonstop when i was younger, anyone else?

i was so surprised when i looked it up years down the line and found out it was megaten

>>464673

I'm amazed that there's anybody at all who played it. I'm not kidding at all, I have a save in the same place for a very similar reason. I love that part.

If it weren't for pokemon games up to silver it would be my favorite gameboy game.

>>464670

I didn't like the second one either. They both had eh physics, they were too short, and too easy.

But I still got fond memories of SML2. One of the few Gameboy games I owned.

>>464691
Played and beat it. At the time I just assumed it was some weird Pokemon ripoff but I still enjoyed it, though it could use a few more runs through translation.

>>464703

I can remember playing SML2 in restaurants when I was pretty damn young. I felt a severe sense of nostalgia when I saw a youtube video of the slime zone, or whatever the hell it was.

I still need to buy it. It's the only gameboy game I used to own that just flat-out disappeared.

I have no idea where it is. Otherwise I have some extremely rare ones. For whatever reason I've never bought another cart for it but I don't really care for some reason.

>>464691
I loved this game! I like the sequel as well! (In japan it was known as Last Bible; Revelations/Last Bible is part of the Megaten series of games)

No one mentioned this yet but I absolutely loved survival kids!

>>464729
Turtle Zone

>>458531
This. I've even got it in red like on that box.
>>458574
I've got a printer and an unopened package of printer paper too

>>464758
I remember that game. I liked all of the stuff you could make and the multiple different endings (which you had to do as both the boy and the girl for that whole picture at the end)
