Hey Opa

I bought the GBA at launch for FPW, and I don't regret it one bit. I've gotten a few games for it since then, but until the GC thing comes back for it, I probably won't buy anymore.

Street Fighter Alpha 3 upper. nuff said. (this to me is GBA's true "Killer App")

-Better than the playstation 1 port of said arcade game.(all frames on the moves intact, including the "walking backwards" ones.)
-more characters than the dc version.
-no loading times.


See? Good games are possible when in the right hands.
A lot of the GBA potential is being wasted (ssf2tr? snes code?) mainly due to developer laziness (or incompetence, see KOF neoblood ) and thier main focus on the home consoles. The machine itself isn't so bad, it's just the screen and the attitude of companies who want to make a quick buck off old classics. (which to me isn't a bad thing if you're A) a fan B)are too young to have played these when they first came out c) didn't own a snes because you were a megadrive fanboy.) But it still can get annoying for those of us who DO want something new along the lines of what metroid fusion was, as opposed to a remake of an old game. eg. just re-releasing super metroid)

You and me both... As much as I do like the current XBox lineup (I'd rather have PGR than the entire GC/PS2 libraries), there's just not a whole lot of good XBox games. I own 15 GBA titles already that I enjoy... well... save Tactics Ogre and Harmony of Dissonance... and if I bought all those already out that I wanted to get, I'd have about 25. The amount of PS2/GC/XB titles combined are probably about 10-15.

Yeh I am probably around the same figures. I have 15 GBA games and I love them all. There are least 15-20 more I'd like to buy.. err.. like to have. I can't afford to *buy* that many... hehe. The funny thing is, I have/want that many and also consider that I have no intertest in many of the popular titles like the Mario games, Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania titles.... It jsut goes to show you.

If I had all the money in the world I'd want about 10-12 PS2 games (some are not out yet) but many of those are medium interest. PS2 seems filled with good games but not so many great ones - at least for me. I barely want 2-3 GCN games unfortunately (shame because I'd like to get a Cube)... and on Xbox I'd really love to have JSRF and Orta and maaaybe a few others... All told definitely less than 20 combined unless I took anything playable. If I rated just games I really want, the number would be under 10.

To be fair, the ship sprite doesn't tilt since it was probably ported straight from Darius 1. It'd have been nice if they used the ship from Darius II.

After the first of the year, I'll have a TV de Advance put in for making screenshots (in that case I'll just rig the GBA to my video capture card to do that). While not as portable as the Afterburner, it's still another good way to play the games.

[galvatron]

I agree, Millartime...then again, the only portable game I played for more than an hour this year is Card Fighters Clash and the occasional genesis cart on Nomad. Maybe I'm just not the target audience for portables...I'm not often away from a console, arcade, or PC when I'm in a gaming mood.

I like the games, but I hate playing them on GBA.  It one of those cases where no matter how good the games are they are still on GBA and still are impossible to see.
