    Game Boy Advance

    Platform »

    The third platform in the Game Boy line, the Game Boy Advance was offered in a multitude of colors and had three hardware offerings, the sideways Game Boy Advance, the flip Game Boy Advance SP and the tiny Game Boy Advance Micro.

    A Very GBA Christmas.

    I got a bunch of GBA games for Christmas while visiting family in Michigan these past few weeks. I figured it'd be rude to lug my PS3 over, so the GBA was a natural choice. I recently picked up Golden Sun and FFVI Advance and then added these gems to my collection: 
     
    Street Fighter Alpha 3 
    Advance Wars 
    Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising 
    Riviera: The Promised Land 
    Wario Land 4 
    Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 
    Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga 
     
    And in addition to that, I also bought a Game Boy Micro. 
     
    Now if I could just find Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis, WarioWare, Rhythm Tengoku, Metal Slug Advance, and Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.  Also, <strike>Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2</strike>

    @TheMustacheHero: If I'm playing GBA games exclusively for some reason, I'm playing them on a GBA also. It's smaller and lighter, and doesn't have that extra usless screen. I would argue that the GBA had a better selection of games than the DS, but that's a matter of opinion.
     
    Those are all quality titles man, well, except for Riviera, never heard of that one. I was traveling from New Zealand to California a few years ago, and my bag containing my GBA and my 14 games was stolen :-(

    Hmmm, here in the past, I predict unnecessary re-designs and semi-outrageous pricing, along with trivially updated versions of the games I have now, i.e. "Got Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow? How about a marginally improved sequel on 2 screens for triple the price!"  
     
    Yawn. 
     
    There is a certain thrill to be had in looking for games on a console that isn't made anymore. Try it. It's addicitive.

    @TooWalrus: I know, the whole thing was a joke.
     
    I was thinking it was weird that he still is playing GBA when most of the community has moved on.
    I'm not saying the GBA was bad by any means, I played the heck outta mine, but I just thought it was funny.
