So a few months ago I got three free GBA games from Club Nintendo and I've only just decided to start playing them in this order:

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Metroid Fusion

and I'm gonna post about these games in here as I play them because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've reached Yoshi Theatre in Superstar Saga and I'm up to Chapter 9 in Sacred Stones, but because Superstar Saga is fantastic (aside from the boss battles) I'll finish it first before continuing Sacred Stones. I've also got Golden Sun which needs to be completed so that'll probably come after before Metroid Fusion.

I'm really surprised at the amount of great GBA games I've missed so I'll likely download more once I'm finished with this lot, so feel free to suggest things for me to play as well. I might even start writing about some of these for virtual console reviews if i get really bored

Currently own:
WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania ~ Finished
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga ~ Finished 1/12/15
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones ~ Finished 7/12/15
Golden Sun ~ Finished 9/12/15
Metroid Fusion ~ Finished 11/12/15
Wario Land 4 ~ Finished 15/1/16
Advance Wars ~ On Hold
Fire Emblem

suggestions/ideas/etc.:
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
Metroid: Zero Mission
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Mega Man Zero 1-4
Kuru Kuru Kururin
Kirby and the Amazing Mirror

eventually:
Mother 3
Fire Emblem: Binding Blade
Frogger Adventures: Temple of the Frog
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team
Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced

also because of Miiverse I'm able to post screenshots in here (albeit with really shitty lighting and a nasty black border so I might not do it very often)

Re: gba plays gba games

You should definitely play FE7 eventually, it's my personal favourite entry in the FE series.

And maybe after FE7 if you can use an emulator try FE6 (Binding Blade), it's a harder game, especially on hard mode, but it is a sequel to FE7, and I'm enjoying it.

Also play Mother 3. Do it for me~

ofc :birdo:

but yeah if the game isn't on the eshop then i'll either need to buy the cart myself (unlikely tbh) or find an emulator which can play it, so i'll probably need ur help (in pms) when i get around to playing it. look at dat backlog already

mother 3 localisation is by far the biggest missed opportunity from nintendo, no hyperbole

yeah same thing with mother 3 pretty much, it'll be hard for me to promise games that aren't on the eshop until i've gotten the hang of using an emulator

though FE7 is a certainty, and that'll probably come after i finish the club nintendo games :luigi:

Tell me about it. Honestly, emulating games not localized/available for your location is not immoral. IDK about illegal, but I don't think it should be immoral.

oh wow seriously? damn i thought there was still heaps more to do D:
but im really hooked on it atm so i might just end it tonight

i just got around to finding all of the beanstones and its given me a pretty awesome badge that i'll probably save for the end if that's the case

guess im gonna go to jokes end brb
 
Re: gba plays gba games (currently playing ~ Superstar Saga)

Yeah Jokes End where jokes come to die. It's maddening.

Also yeah you are pretty close to ending. Maybe about idk 4-6 hours depending how good you are at dodging enemies attacks.
 
Re: gba plays gba games (currently playing ~ Superstar Saga)

wow i did not expect the game's difficulty curve to suddenly become so steep at joke's end

everything kills mario in like 4 hits pretty much
luigi is sick of ur shit mario stop dying

fuck scaratroopeas with their revival water attack thing
fuck them SO much

They're not bad games by any means but Battle Network really isn't my cup of tea. You might wanna talk to Superjeff about those if you see him around since he really likes them.

But that is exactly why it's called Joke's End: the jokes really do end there.

pretty much, that was awful. jojora confirmed for shit-tier character, second only to fawful

luigi cross-dressing to get back the beanstar was kinda funny though
and now i'm facing popple and birdo :birdo:

edit:i've saved at the entrance to bowser's castle so imma get some sleep and finish the game tomorrow :sleep:
