GBA Nostalgia Thread

Anyone here still appreciate the GBA? What are some of your favorite games and memories with it? I just got myself a flash cart so I'm revisiting games from my childhood and looking for recommendations on things I may have missed out on.

Fuck off zoomer

I remember playing Super Mario Advanced at Toys R Us. I was blown away at how colorful and good it looked. I still get nostalgic chills when I hear that first song from level 1.

Fuck off zoomerfag

Super Mario World is the one that did that to me. That's the game that made me feel like I was really getting a console quality game on a handheld.

For me, it's the SP.

It's pretty great, I prefer it to the NDS family.

I love the Legendary Starfy but I feel like I'm missing too much by playing Starfy 1-3 without a translation, Starfy on DS had fun writing, so I want to wait for fan translations

It’s hard to feel nostalgic when it can be emulated on so many platforms.

The first game has a fan-translation

>where the fuck are the Hamtaro games?
>no Kururin Paradise
>no Rhythm Tengoku (both Japanese and the English translation patch)
>no Yu-Gi-Oh GX - The Duel Academy
user...

Rhythm Heaven Silver is the name of the fan translation to Rhythm Tengoku

got pick related for my birthday and it's the best way to experience the GBA imo. Favorite game on it is FFTA

Nice, now we can use this word for any context, even if it's wrong.
It's literally a new literally.

I just got one of those myself. So nice having the best form factor with the best screen.

Why is the GBA so sexy?

God that was a really comfortable handheld to use.

The best in the past 20 years for sure but that's not saying much.

GBA is zoomershit retard

How is a handheld released in 2001 zoomershit?
>hard mode: response can't involve any buzzwords or le epic maymays

The PSP version of this is unironically one of my favorite games on that system. Never tried the GBA one though.

>everything that was created in the early 2000s' is zoomershit

GBA's my favourite console of all time
so many good memories of playing it

zoomers grew up on the DS/3DS
boomers grew up on GB/GBC/GBA

from what I remember, it's some kind of metroidvania with top down naval battles. It was okay

he was a good handheld, and a friend

Kuru Kuru Kururin
Puzzle game that has you navigating a spinning bar through levels without hitting the walls and other obstacles.
There's also a japanese only sequel.

It always bugs me that there was never an original Mario platformer on the GBA. Sure we got Wario Land 4, which was fantastic and all those ports, but I would have really liked to see what they would have done.

Bomberman Tournament

Imagine being so retarded you think a handheld released in 2001 is Zoomershit.

Yggdra Union is easily one of my favorite games on the GBA (and a personal all-time fave as well). It's a strategy RPG with card game elements. It starts off okay, but once the game finishes easing you in and gets all of its mechanics out of the gate, it becomes great.

The GBA version is made obsolete by the PSP version that has more content but it's still worth checking out on the GBA if you dont have access to a PSP or an emulator. Some people also prefer the GBA version since it's the harder one among the two versions.

Kids born in the late 90's had access to GBA and played it, They made GBA games until like 2007 you absolute zoomerfags.

Look at Scott the Woz, he's a zoomerfag and he grew up with stuff like GBA and GameCube, that was his generation that played that kind.

Scott the Woz is 22 years old, dude.
The oldest Zoomer is 19.

I was literally playing my GBA (OG with backlit mod) last night. I have an Everdrive and have been playing through Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, Castlevania, etc.

It’s great. Just stay away from the SNES ports as a rule. They were great at the time and often show up on the “best GBA games” lists but they weren’t very good as a general rule.

it's bad because it's new (but not really) is not a criticism

I don't think you know what Zoomer culture is.
Zoomers like shit like Minecraft and Fortnite. GameCube and GBA are boomer.

the zoomer era started on Nintendo DS you absolute mong

It started a bit later than the DS (which came out in '04).
I'd say the absolute duration of the Zoomer era is 2007-present, with Zoomer culture jumping to the mainstream in 2010.

> N-NO PLEASE! MY CONSOLE IS BOOMERTIER! I'M A BOOMER! LOOK AT MEEEEEEE
Kill yourselves zoom zooms, lie all you want, but Deep Down you are all zoomerfaggots wh won't ever experience true gaming
