GBA owners needed for opinions....

I currently have the PS2 and GC.  For some reason, I have been kind of wanting to buy a GBA lately.  This is in spite of the fact that I did not enjoy playing Super Mario 2 on it when it came out, on a display model.  

This may just be because I consider Mario 2 to be the weakest of the Mario titles that I\'ve played.  If it released w/ SMB 3, I would have bought the damn thing the day it came out, for nostalgia value alone.

That being said...should I get one?  The unit itself is cheap, but the games seem kind of pricey for such a small screen and such.  I also don\'t quite know what games I would want to get, and I\'m looking for suggestions here.

There\'s lots to suggest, but I think it all depends on your peronal preference of what games you like.  If I were you, I\'d set my sights on Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance, Metroid Fusion, Super Mario Adcance 3: Yoshi\'s Island, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, and Advance Wars.

Super Puzzle FIghter 2: Turbo is out on GBA? Since when? DAMNIT! GIMMIE INFO!


Oh and pick up both Castlevania games..

The Phantasy Star Collection (1 - 3) is due out soon with PS4 on it\'s way as well from what I hear. Sonic Advance is platforming heaven IMO. Then there\'s Wolfenstein3d, which is basically a streight port of the PC version - and DOOM which was really poorly done I think.. but others seem to like it. DukeNukem3D is out on it too.. but you probably shouldn\'t bother with it because if they had to cut DOOM to get it to fit on the cart, I can\'t imagine how they butched Duke3D. Both Castlevania games shouldn\'t be missed either. Oh, and Metroid Fusion is due out this month too.

I\'d highly suggest getting one. There are a ton of great games out and coming, most recently Metroid Fusion.

If you do get the GBA, though.. might I suggest going here and ordering an Afterburner.

Or you could just order the GBA pre-AB\'ed.. it\'ll help the fun factor a bit when you can see the screen clearly.

Don\'t worry, you\'re not getting senile in your old age.    It\'s due out in January.

Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi\'s Island  

It is one of my favorite platformers ever.

Sorry for my ignorance, guys...but what exactly is an afterburner?

its an internal light for yer GBA

it requires opening, cutting, and soldering yer GBA

i did it to mine when it came out and the difference is phenominal
