They ain't around for me no mores.

I need something like Megaman Legends 1 and 2. The "collect items to make new weapons" thing, the modifications, the run and gun rpg style, side quests, story... They should just make a Megaman Legends 3

Umm... I normally don't really like emulating handhelds (if the picture is blown up to fullscreen, it doesn't look very nice, and if it's not, I get distracted by the computer backdrop ), but I've finished most things worth playing for every console up to and including the N64 now, so I recently started playing GBA games on my laptop during the bus journeys to and from college.

As I never owned a GBA, and never really liked playing the games emulated, I've played almost none of its library (literally only Sword of Mana and the Castlevanias). I know it had a ton of nice games, as I was considering buying one for the longest time, but I can't for the life of me think of any. So anyone's recommendations as to their favorites would be very welcome. I tend to like RPGs and 2-D shooters best, but I'll play almost anything good. Japanese-only titles are fine too; I'll probably go with the Japanese versions of games anyway, as I need to keep practicing. ^_~ Thanks a bunch!

The Castlevanias as you've mentioned, the Metroids, the Advanced Wars (There are two, I think), Final Fantasy Tactics: Advanced is alright, you like RPGs so you'd dig it (It doesn't live up to FFT on the PS, though ), Zelda: Minish Cap, the Mario games are all on the GBA as well as a number of other SNES and NES games that have been ported... Oh, and Golden Sun 1 and 2. That's all I can think of that I've played.

Weeee!

Fire Emblem VI with a translation patch.
Fire Emblem VII <- Prequel to FEVI.
Fire Emblem VIII <- Unrelated universe/story.

I'd say the the seventh game is the best out of those three, but I love them all. Then there's Advance Wars I&II, Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced (although I must say that it was quite disappointing) and Tactics Ogre: The Knights of Lodis (I think.. ). I'm sure I'm forgetting about a ton of games, but that's really all I can think of.

[Harmony]

Yay, thank you both. Actually, I totally forgot about Golden Sun. Wanted to play that back when it was first released... And Fire Emblem. I've never really played any of that series. Actually, that's something I still need to take a look at SNES-wise too.

There's Tactics Ogre for the GBA, though? :O Never even realised. ^.^ Similar / different to the PSX one? Matsuno directed?

You do. There's only one SNES game that's somewhat properly translated though..

Yeah, and it's excellent. Hmm, I haven't played the SNES game in ages, and only in Japanese (I finally got around downloading the PSX game last week, I've had it for years, but that disc won't work properly) so I don't really remember that much about it. I'd say it's pretty similar, with a few nice additions (that's actually an assumption seeing as I don't really know how the class system worked in the old game.. because I don't know Japanese). Oh, and I have no idea who directed it.. =/ Still, brilliant game with plenty of story-determing choices and branches.
