How am I supposed to reply to this thread if I totally agree?

>>9947436
We could always try something different and actually talk about the games instead of calling each other faggot and retard for 326 replies. I'm willing to give it a shot, honestly.

This is only true if you pretend the DS doesn't exist

>t.
I suppose you would have preferred "it u" as it would be easier to ignore. Anyways, yeah the GB, GBC, GBA and DS all have good games in their own right and the only reason someone would disagree is because they have baby duck syndrome.

>>9947480
>I suppose you would have preferred "it u" as it would be easier to ignore
I would prefer if you A) learned the proper way to communicate via fourth channel, and B) killed yourself as quickly as possible

>>9947452
The only reason you could argue that is because the DS can run GBA games.
Although the GBA can run GB/GBC games, so it's better in any case.

>>9947453

Finally good opinions.

If you don't get it you'll never get it. That's enough about that.

The fins didn't greentext a t. either. Are you planning on killing yourself any time soon?

>>9947428
>I honestly can't think of a single game on DS that could touch shit like WL4 or AW2.
Wario: Master of Disguise and Advance Wars: Dual Strike? I dunno if I would call them better but they certainly do "touch" at the very least.

>>9947501
I don't know if you're aware, but Usenet has used "greentexting" before 4chan even existed. They called it quoting.

>>9947506
I don't know if you're aware, but you're misuing "t." as it applies within the confines of this website, and you need to go back (to reddit)

>>9947513
ANYWAY, yeah GBA is pretty cool

>>9947428
i totally ageee
the DS had some great games (Like Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, Sonic Rush, Solatorobo, the Ace Attorney series, Devil Survivor 1 and 2 etc) but the GBA had so many great games, and being basically a hybrid of a 16 and 32 bit system on a time when 2D games were a rare sight on consoles this little handheld brought a wind of fresh air
The only downside i can think of is the sound, the soundchip of the GBA was pretty bad quality

>>9947428
>Mega Man Battle Network, Advance Wars 2, Aria of Sorrow, Metal Slug Advance, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
>Mega Man Zero, comfy high-tier Pokemon gen, AstroBoy, Fire Emblem, Mario Tennis, Metroid Fusion & Zero Mission, Golden Sun, Tactics Ogre, Harvest Moon, Tekken Advance, 2nd and 3rd Legacy of Goku games, Chain of Memories
OK OP you may have done well today. Real and straight.

I think the hype and comfiness of the GBA made me overconfident in the DS. I bought in earlier and was salty af for two years straight before anything decent came out. PKMN Pearl was the last handheld game I ever bothered with and it's probably why I don't own handhelds anymore.

>>9947545
>Doesn't realize the irony

>>9947547
I remember a ton of kickass games being announced for DS launch and then none of them came out. It was like some Trust the Plan "we're gonna arrest the bad guys" psyop level of bullshit. I spent most of its early life playing hits such as... Ridge Racer, Asphalt Urban, Feel the Magic XXY or whatever tranny nonsense, and... Drill Dozer. And then the PSP turned out to be such a 10/10 piece of hardware that the DS felt like a toy. I just don't have fond memories with that hardware.

>>9947557
>doesn't realize that I was commenting on the reddit-tier irony he implied because he has a touch of the asp

>>9947428
It was better than the GBC and the DS. Fuck the DS, they should have supported GBA more.

>>9947564
Also I spent a whole year playing GBA games on my PSP during overnight shifts. For whatever that's worth. Why not bring a GBA? Because the PSP can hold music and porn (bathroom breaks, working alone, I was a horny teen stfu I had a girlfriend anyway).

>>9947568
you gotta stop doing this, man

>>9947428
>can't think of a single game on DS that could touch shit like WL4 or AW2
GBA > DS, but Advance Wars 3 & 4 are really good. I like days of ruin the best, seems to only be waifu nigger pedos who dislike DoR because it didn't have any googly eyed shit in it.

The Nokia N-Gage is clearly better than the GBA.
Cope and seethe nintentards.

>>9947603
boooo

Everytime someone mentions the gba i can only think of bad snes ports, weird ports like the asterix game and nickelodeon games.
Oh and Pokemon.

>>9947621
That can only mean that you barely played anything on the GBA.

>>9947605
daily reminder that the design of the N-Gage was literally modeled after Goatse

>>9947564
ayyy i thought i was the only one in this board who liked the PSP more than the DS
great handheld to play 3D platformers, Jrpg's, Ps1 games and of course to emulate SNES and Genesis games
i remember when i first got my PSP i brought it to my High school and the class nerds came to me during recess to see if i was playing the new God of War game but instead i was playing Earthworm Jim 2 lmao

>>9947625
i have played most of the games on OP's list and the others people usually fellate.
I still think the GBA is mostly a bad SNES/Nickelodeon Game machine because everytime i went to buy games for it it was either those filling the catalog or dude asking me if i want to spend like 100 bucks for pokemon ruby, it was really hard to find games I actually wanted to play.

>>9947650
confirmed fake but cute anyway

>>9947664
>I've played all of those good games, however I believe it is actually a spongebob machine

>>9947664
At the very least that's what sold. Shoddy SNES ports, fairly odd parents episodes, madagascar tie-in games and pokemon!!! WHOOOOA POKEMAN!

>>9947668
>confirmed fake
no it wasn't, dude just look at the fucking thing. it even has the ring and the area around the screen has dots like an asshole. that is literally a goatse machine.

>>9947674

>>9947679
it's even on your favorite website bro
https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/1kv487/industrial_engineer_confirms_inspiration_for/

>>9947664
i think you've a point there
the GBA is a great handheld in retrospective with emulation and countless of roms to choose, but at the time it came out you weren't able to easily find games like Drill Dozer, CIMA: the enemy, Ninja Five-o, etc
most of the thing you could find were shitty shovelwere games made for babies and the games everyone already had
every kid i met back then who had a GBA only played stuff like Pokemon, Mario advance, Sonic Advance , Mario Party, Mario Kart advance and you get the point

>>9947685
lmao

>>9947682
Same thing anon, you didn't even check.

>>9947712

>>9947671
>>9947685
Yeah, im not one of those fags that want japanese only hidden gems, but it was really difficult to find games i wanted to play because almost every store or second-hand shop only had shit like spongebob advance or mario/zelda at stupid prices, I like Pokemon but I wasn't that crazy about it back when I had a GBA so I wasn't gonna spend a lot just for a copy of Emerald or FireRed.
I don't hate the GBA (I wanna get a Micro one day) but I always think of those two things when I see it.

>>9947725
it's what the designer of the N-Gage was into, at least

>>9947729
I play all kinds of games but you simply won't be tripping over the doom games, duke nukem advance, wolf3d, the medal of honor game, even lower mid tier titles like lady sia with any frequency. Nobody bought the interesting looking or playing GBA games and I do find its library to be bloated with mega man battlenetworks, pokemon, snes ports and nintendo rom flips that hurts actually exploring the library. Maze's of Fate is a cool surprise but really the platform was light on games despite being the only real option at the time.

>>9947448
>stickin around
damn haven't thought about that show in 20 years

>>9947428
In defense of the DS, it does have some pretty good Castlevania games, and Mario Kart DS is easily better than Super Circuit imo, even without the added online. Plus it had Animal Crossing.

I agree that the GBA is fantastic though. The Sonic Advance series, Nigthmare in Dreamland, Crash: The Huge Adventure, Wario Land 4, Super Monkey Ball Jr, Crazy Taxi: Catch a Ride, SEGA Arcade Gallery are among my favorites. The first WarioWare game is pretty fun too. I have a V90 but I've long debated getting myself pic related since it's closer to the AGB-001.

>>9947428
I prefer the GBA SP (model AGS-101). I have small hands, so I played it a lot.
I bought a new one 5-7 years ago but accidentally dropped when entering a bus. That felt very bad.
The GBA has a lot of interesting obscure titles like Magical Vacation, Juka and Monophonic Menace, Klonoa Heroes, Tomato Adventures, Magi Nation (the Japanese game -- not the NA one), and others that I am interested in playing in the future, a lot of which were fan translated.
If I had to pick my top 5 GBA games that I've beaten:
Harvest Moon: FOMT
Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak
Petz Vet
Mother 3
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
I have many GBA games I want to play soon like FFT:A, Metroid Fusion, the obscure titles previously listed, and so on.
I wish Densetsu no Stafy would get an English translation. It seems better than the DS version.
Also, I didn't like WL4 as much as WL2 if I remember correctly.

>>9947848
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Overstays its welcome but it's still good)
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Game & Watch Gallery 4
Kirby and the Amazing Mirror
Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap
Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga
Mario Vs Donkey Kong
Megaman Battle Network 2
Megaman Battle Network 6
Megaman Zero 3
Metroid Fusion
Metroid Zero Mission
Ninja Five-O
Rivery City Ransom EX
Sword of Mana
Wario Land 4
WarioWare: Mega Microgames

17's the best I got. I'm cheating a little by listing 2 battle network games, and knowing people like you, you'll probably throw a tantrum and cry that M&L counts as "JRPG menu simulator" despite being able to avoid all damage during combat. You'll probably also turn your nose up at Zero Mission.
But if you reject Game & Watch Gallery 4 I will fucking find you and make you regret your shitty tastes for attention.

>>9947848
Sonic Advance games are great, though.

>>9947428
your picture shows a modded gba.

i think its a close race between gba and psp, borh having amazing titles & 'remakes' from their mother consoles.

ps vita of course is the king pin, if it only had games - but the technique at that price was yeaaars ahead.

>>9947953
>I wish Densetsu no Stafy would get an English translation. It seems better than the DS version.
there are five Starfy games, of which three are on GBA (I think)
YouTube told me that they were all pretty good but I haven't played them

>>9947428
>mediocre SNES ports
Lets be honest, were they really that bad to outweigh playing those games on the go at the time? Or do they just not stand up today when playing them in emulators because you can just emulate the SNES instead?

>>9948231
That's really what it comes down to. Lots of games were great when there wasn't a powerful jack of all trades in nearly everyone's pocket, for example I doubt any modern gamer would willingly play through the GBA Tony hawk titles despite the fact they're still very playable.

The original GB has a much better library and many more actually original titles

>>9947664
lol retard

>>9947428
No where near close to the greatness of DS.

It has a better library, good battery and sold almost as much as the king PS2

>>9948484
No it doesn't. There's barely any good Gameboy games. 20 at most.
Shovelware is irrelevant. Number of GOOD games is all that matters. I can tell you're a 64 nigger but your gay logic

>>9948596
Neither has a better library than the ps2 you delusional tendie

This is the first time I've seen a GBA-vs.-DS console war. It's pretty stupid, but it's different from the usual stupid. I don't know how most of you can stand being the kind of person who does this stuff.

>>9948410
I love both systems, but I have to give it to the DS. Great list.

>>9948410

holy fucking shit this thing was worse than I remember. imagine going from solid gold games like WL4 or FFTA to this complete fucking trash and actually being happy about it.

>>9948791
I also love both of them and would understand if someone they picked the GBA over the DS, I mean Minish Cap, Golden Sun, Mother 3 and Wario Land 4 are some strong arguments.

>>9948359
I also think the same of the ds and game boy.

>>9947848
Off the top of my head, here's some solid titles excluding RPGs of any sort as well as ports: Kuru Kuru Kurururin, Kurururin Paradise, Astro Boy Omega Factor, Go Go Beckham, Bit Generations Series, Mario Vs. Donkey Kong, Wade Hixton's Counter Punch, Boktai 1-3, Minish Cap, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror/Nightmare in Dreamland, Konami Krazy Racers, Ninja Five-O, Klonoa: Empire of Dreams/Dream Champ Tournament, Megaman Zero series, Wario Land 4, WarioWare, Rhythm Tengoku, Metal Slug Advance, Drilldozer, Metroid Zero Mission/Fusion, Castlevania Circle/Harmony/Aria, Guru Logic Champ, Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure, Iridion II, Gunstar Super Heroes, CT Special Forces 1-3, Metalgun Slinger, Sabre Wulf, Bomberman Tournament, Gradius Galaxies, Mr Driller 2, F-Zero Climax, Starfy 1-3, and Hajime no Ippo.

>>9948801
You expect anyone to take your incredulous opinion seriously?

>>9947428
The games on the system pretty much was what I used my GameCube for. Having quit videogames, it was a fun hunt for the loose games under $5USD and just casually enjoying the games, some of which are stellar portable representations of their respective series.

>>9948958
Great collection! I'm curious what are your top 5?

I'm still buying GBA games to this day. Last I counted I had 61 of them, and still some in the mail. Collecting GBA carts since '02 has been a ton of fun.

>>9948638
He said nothing about the DS or GBA being better than the PS2, you obsessed Pride Monther fanboy.

>>9947671
>fairly odd parents episodes
The GBA Player video carts were an interesting innovation for the time period. If im not mistaken they managed to fit the entire Shrek movie on a GBA cart that sells for like $50 to $100 now. Silly but fascinating from a technical perspective.

I dont think those video carts can be emulated either for some reason but i cant remember why.

>>9948972
Stop replying to yourself freak.

>>9948954
Does the smug reaction pic from your non-game make you feel better about being a fat retard with no taste?

The GBA and the DS are two of my favorite libraries in general. Both are fantastic little devices, though the DS line definitely had some build quality hiccups

It makes me incredibly sad that we'll never have a purpose built, lower power handheld with a dedicated library of games every again. It's all just tablet sized handhelds built for playing console games at low settings, or streaming from here on out

>>9947428
it's still carts. and many of them still used batteries for savegames.
the SD-ish cards of NDS were more reliable and stored more stuff.

I prefer DS because it has better JRPGS.

>>9947751
Dont forget serious sam advance

>>9949557
>It makes me incredibly sad that we'll never have a purpose built, lower power handheld with a dedicated library of games every again.
Feels bad. Being primarily a handheld gamer was great during the GBA/DS/PSP era

>>9947428
eh, I hold it in high regards because I don't like to see them as separate consoles with distinct game library. They are but the similar naming and backwards compatibility makes it eh. It held off well until GBA came, and why would you then restrict yourself and not get the fine classic pokemon, or worse, zelda oracles/dx? You'd have to be simply uncultured.

>>9949557
>It makes me incredibly sad that we'll never have a purpose built, lower power handheld with a dedicated library of games every again.
They exist, but only as hobbyist consoles like the Arduboy that have worse performance in almost every way vs the original Game Boy, and are closer to stuff like the Pokemon Mini. Stuff like that does try to fit in today by being extra small though, so it's easy to keep with you even with the big phones that people fill their pockets with today. Maybe we'll get lucky and some company will take the idea further.

Just so you don't wholly dismiss the gbc/gb library, the one upon which gba builds upon, and even without even mentioning hidden gems,
>
Pokemons
2 Capcom Zeldas
Zelda: LA (GB/GBC)
Megaman XTreMe (not a fan of II)
Harry Potter I
Harry Potter II (sadly no 3)
DQ3
Mario DX
And this is without mentioning hidden gems only I like or simply alright games like the rayman port. I won't let you pretend there was NOTHING until Zero came along, or I guess Wario...

>>9949913
OP just turned 18 years-old. Give him a break.

>>9947428
The PSP was better cause it's like a real evolution of the GB instead of a dual screen gimmick.

>>9947661
I got a PSP quite early and I was playing fucking LocoRoco while waiting for my swimming lessons, and some random guy looked over my shoulder and said "wow great graphics"

>>9949957
Imagine that we went from GBA SP to fucking PSP from one generation to the next. Ridiculously large advance if you think about it.

>>9947428
Most good game boy games are from the first two incarnations, the GBA barely added anything that wasn't some inferior port of a better game

>>9947428
the snes ports were part of the reason it was one of the best handhelds ever made, the games it was porting were some of the best games ever and having them on a handheld was incredible

>>9947428

All games should be 3:2

>>9948958
What are all those river city games? I only played the remake and I loved it.

>>9948410
yeah, can't compete with this list, gba only had better metroid and megaman games over the DS.

>>9948663
I guess if you are a zoomer with limited budget trying to figure out which one to buy in the inflated market to show up on your social media I can maybe comprehend comparing consoles of different generations to see which one is the "best".

>>9950125
Shit, I only own eighteen of those. Gotta step up my game.
>>9950195
Product/brand tribalism is a cancer, and most young cunts are terminal. They've never lived without the internet, or their instant dopamine rushes that come from posting shit on social media.

>>9950145
I'm glad ultra wide never became a thing. God it would be so stupid watching movies on a long strip. even just watching it on youtube is fucking annoying.

Also glad Microsoft surface tablets are 3:2 so you can watch old stuff and 1080p stuff as good as possible.

>>9948663
>>9950195
It isn't an entirely out of the blue comparison. Keep in mind that Nintendo wasn't entirely sure if the DS would be widely accepted at first, and that the GBA spent about half its life competing with the DS. Consider:
>the Game Boy Micro came out a full year after the DS had been released
>those GBA video cartridges with full movies on them didn't hit the market until a year after the DS had been released
>Pokemon Mystery Dungeon got a dual release on the GBA and DS a year after the DS came out in Japan, and 2 years after it came out in the US
>Nintendo continued to release 1st party games for the GBA through 2006, 2 years after the DS came out, with only the last year of the GBA's life not seeing first party titles
It wasn't until 2006 that I saw someone playing on a DS (I had seen the boxes in stores but had never really looked at them), then bought my own later that year with money I earned that summer.

>>9950156
It also had better Zelda games, I don't hate the DS Zelda games with their weird gimmicks but ALttP, Minish Cap and Four Swords are just better.

I got really into the Mr. Driller series lately and decided to order Mr. Driller A. Have any anons played that game before? If so, did you like it?
I currently only have Drill Land on Switch and having a blast with it.
Do you guys have any other Japan-only GBA games? I also have the Densetsu no Stafy trilogy and the two games based off of the Bomberman Jetters anime.

>>9950291
Just not better than Oracle of Ages / Seasons (GBC)

>>9947428
I hate the way GBA games look, sprites are soulless and gay looking. The 8-bit GBC had better looking games

>>9949612
>>9949891
What happened to that crank handheld, the play date ?

>>9949537
You're wound up over nothing. Get a grip.

>>9947564
I felt the exact same way back in the day, and it really gets worse when you consider that a lot of the bigger games on the DS were enhanced ports, even the Ace Attorney games were originally on the GBA (probably why they're so high quality), which is why I'm always so confused when people call the GBA a port machine, as if the biggest games on the DS weren't SNES/GB ports.

>>9953981

>Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring
God that game was shit. I never beat it because I would always get to the Mine of Moria and have it crash when going from one room to the next.

>>9954247
Ahaha. I just bought a second copy of that a few days ago. It's buggy as hell, but I wanted to replace my copy that was lent and lost to a sibling. Not looking forward to trying to complete it.

Meh, it's mostly shovelware and the good games aren't that good. The ones with decent sprite work are a tiny minority and butt ugly examples like pic related are more characteristic. The best handheld is of course not retro.

>>9954402
This just reminds me of how so many GBA games used butt-ugly pre-rendered sprites. Meanwhile, even shovelware on the SNES usually had at least semi-competent pixel art.

>>9954402
>>9954665
I love pre-rendered sprites, there's a certain look of early 3D that I love. It also reduces dev time significantly and lets you render more frames quickly. Hand drawn sprites have no depth.

>>9951682
The website says it's available for preorder and should be out later this year, so my guess is it's vaporware that's never coming out.

>>9955095
I agree, anon. Pre-rendered graphics are the best. I've always been fascinated by the castle market in OoT, for one. It's hard to describe, but they have a certain allure to them that hand drawn art simply lacks. All those pre-rendered assets were once full 3D models; they had depth and detail, they contained mysterious things that we never ended up seeing. They feel alive, where hand drawn art (as it applies to video games) reveals all of itself at first glance.

Colored screen with no backlight was a mistake.
Both this and the GBC look like shit without modding them.

And those don't even scratch the surface. Most of the GB and GBC greats (your list included) easily blow most any GBA game out of the water.

I'll add some more great ones (from off the tip of my head) to it: 3 Wario games, first two Mario Land games, two+ Mario sports games, 6 Kirby games, 5 Mega Man games, Tetris Plus, Tetris DX Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge, Grandia: Parallel Trippers, Zelda: LA (very different experience from DX, which is another great game), Azure Dreams, Bomberman Quest, Daikatana, Quest: Brian's Journey, Donkey Kong ('94), Star Ocean: Blue Sphere, Columns GB, Samurai Kid, Gimmick Land (from the Gigaleak), Avenging Spirit, Game Boy Camera kino, Catrap, the 3 DK Lands, Batman: The Animated Series, Survival Kid, Resident Evil Gaiden, Bionic Commando, DQ Monsters 1-2 (3 games), Mario's Picross, the two Mickey Racing games, Sutte Hakkun GB, and Looney Tunes (plus spin-offs, such as the two Speedy Gonzales games).

Plus (not sure if these are covered by your last post) the many Pokemon spin-off games: Pokemon TCG, Pokemon Pinball, Pokemon Puzzle Challenge, and yes, Pokemon Picross from the Gigaleak, all of which are amazingly fun games.

I'll also add Xtreme 2, as I love that game, even more than I love Xtreme 1

It is difficult to reduce to just 5. I've enjoyed a lot of the titles because they each offer some fun to me. I could maybe figure out my top 100 for the system, but 5 is just too few.

The whole series is amazing. The one on top is the River City Ransom you know. Then followed are the collections. Dodgeball and basketball is 1, with 2 having track meet and soccer, 3 has the period drama and hockey. They're pretty much the same as the Famicom ones, but I am not sure if they have the remainder in any collection past 3.

Those carts I recall having some type of built-in detection so that they wouldn't function on the Game Boy Player on Gamecube, ostensibly to keep people from making bootleg recordings of the episodes or movies in the offchance you wanted the worst possible Shrek viewing experience.

I wouldn't be surprised if by this point people have cracked them so that you can emulate them but I'm not sure why anybody would other than for the shit of it.

>>9949537
It must suck being so retarded for puzzle games you deem them not even real lmao

How come it never got a proper Mario game made for it? Even the Zelda game it got was made by Capcom. In contrast, it got two excellent Metroid games.

We got something better.

They proved themselves with the Oracle games.

The larger video carts included a mapper so they could use 64MB ROMs. The mapper wasn't emulated for a while, but mGBA supports it now.

>>9958214
Does Mario vs Donkey Kong count, while not as good as DK94 it's still fucking great.

>>9947487
i clearly remember playing my pokemon crystal cartridge on my DS

>>9958676
The cart won't physically fit, and even if it did it won't boot. Don't ask how I know.

>>9958678
what DS tho,because i did play crystal on my ds lite,i just dont have them anymore to test.

>>9958718
No DS will natively play anything below GBA games. You're misremembering, man.

>>9958647
I think he means a mainline Mario platformer. All it got was ports.

But yes Mario vs. Donkey Kong is great

>>9958718
uh oh it's time to take your meds

>>9947428
It has a pretty solid game library especially for a handheld. The sound on the system is atrocious however, and brings it down in my opinion.

I feel like portables need more than just their own games

That's because you are a thirteen year old with zero taste, nor experience in life.

When reading Nintendo Power recently I was surprised to see how the DKC graphic style changed from an awesome novelty with plenty of its own beauty to a standard, generic way of churning out barely-professional-looking GBA games cheaply. I'd been amazed as a kid by Rare's introduction of the style on the SNES, and then I ignored the GBA entirely for whatever reason, so I missed the era in which pre-rendered 3D graphics were commonplace. On the GBA, this graphics technique was surely no longer "all the rage" among players - instead it was all the rage among shovelware developers who didn't have the resources to do a good job with it. If any players still liked it, it's because they were weirdos with weird tastes or kids with the low standards of kids.

Twitter is down the hallway to the right.

>>9960394
That's true. The Finding Nemo spites weren't very enticing.

>>9960581
Nah, they're right. Pre-rendered sprites look bad. Fuck you DKC.

>>9954016
are these all good games or just 289 random games?
