POLL: Which GBA game to get?

[Wheatmaster]

i'm going to be getting a silver gba sp soon. Which game should i get?

 

[Wheatmaster]

anyone?

 

[Flyermax2k3]

I have none of the above but I'd go with Mario 3.

 

[Zim Hosein]

I know it's not on your poll Mak0602, but if you haven't played it yet Metroid Fusion is a must have IMO

 

[CarlKillerMiller]

Taaaaaaaaaaaaaactics.

Or advance wars, or golden sun.

 

[Dragnov]

All ove the above.

 

[rgwalt]

Check out Advanced Wars (1&2), Golden Sun (1&2), and Fire Embelem, after you check out Tatics.

[z0mb13]

get castlevania

 

[abaez]

Mario and Luigi for sure, funniest writing in a game I have seen in a long long time (Cheers to your mustaches!) Advance wars 2, Golden sun 1 & 2, Fire emblem all great great games.

 

[Wheatmaster]

got a question: what kind of cable does the gba sp use to recharge? AC adapter? DC adapter?

 

[Boogak]

FFTA, game is addictive is heck and has tons of play time (25+ hours so far and I have barely made a dent on the mission list). Metroid Fusion is good too but short.

 

[A5]

Fire Emblem is the own.

Is it just me, or is the GBA the only other platform besides PC with any good strategy games?

 

[mundane]

Go old-school and get Advance Wars and Golden Sun.

The SP comes with an AC to DC adapter that is used to recharge the battery. I loaned mine to a friend during a car ride, and he played about 7 or 8 hours with the backlight on, and the low battery warning still didn't kick on. The internal battery is really great.

Is he cutting you a really good deal? You can buy it new for $100 w/ the adapter. Anyway, no, you cannot to go Radio Shack and get a new AC adapter for it. It has a propriatary connection, so you'll need to get a replacement from Nintendo. EbGames sells a 3rd party adapter, so you may be able to pick one up locally. However, if you are hard-core about it like I am, you'd get the Nintendo Officially Licensed adapter from Nintendo... If you are interested, simply go to store.nintendo.com and navigate through the site. You are looking for Parts and Accessories for a GBA SP. The adapter will run you $15 new, plus shipping. So I'd be sure that your friend is giving a hefty price break before you buy his used SP.

yeah he is giving me a huge deal. $40 for a silver gba sp. he got it and just never played it. though he is only giving me the console so i guess i'll go check out EBX for that adapter. Thanks again!

NP, happy to help. I think the GBA is a great little console. The backlight and rechargable battery were absolutely necessary. Plus, it is becoming the platform of choice for RPG and strategy based games. With all the re-makes of SNES games, you can pack up your old consoles.

EDIT: The deal he is giving you really is excellent. Can he not find his adapter? Even if you had to spend $20 to get one shipped from Nintendo, you are coming out way ahead.

yeah apparently he bought his gba sp without the adapter, if you know what i mean. i'll just by the one at EBX for $10. Does the GBA SP play older gameboy and gameboy color games? if they do, i can just sell my old school gray gameboy and gameboy color.

Ah, so he may have purchased it from a "dubious" source. Well, whatever. The SP is backwards compatible with all previous gameboy games save a couple here and there. I believe there was a game with a built in motion sensor that does not work with the SP because the cartridge is inserted on the bottom end of the Gameboy rather than the top. As a result, the feedback required to work the game would need to be reversed on the fly. So, yes you can sell your old gameboy and gameboy color.
