Recommend a GBA game?

03-04-2003, 08:55 PM

A friend's birthday is coming up and I'd like to get her a GBA game. I haven't played many GBA games yet, so I'd like a bit of help. She's not... ermmm... 'girly', so I'm looking for something that's just lots of fun

Does she have Advanced Wars? If not, she might like that.

You might want to try this list or this one

Which genre does she like?

Get YI... it rocks even though I'm slowly going totally insane...

Mario Kart Super Circuit or Advance Wars (is she doesn't already own one of them).

Super_Mario_1987 · 03-05-2003, 09:32 AM

YI is a good idea.

SMW, SMW 2, Advanced Wars, Metroid fusion, four swords, There is alot of choices.

SkyDragon · 03-05-2003, 08:06 PM

Umm...
...she like...

Zelda: A Link to the Past/4 S-Words
Golden Sun
Advance Wars
Both Castlevania games (circle and harmony)
Wario Land 4
Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, if you're ("she's")interested in that kind of stuff
Yugioh: Eternal Duelist Soul, if you're ("she's")interested in that kind of stuff

Ummm...can't think of anymore at this moment
and oh yeah "NINTENDO NEXUS RULES!!!" [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Mega Man Zero and Metroid Fusion are both some of the best action games I've ever seen. Mariokart SC is great too.

Yoshi's Island is one of my favorite games of all time.

Super Monkey Ball jr. does some things I never even thought were possible on the GBA.

And Golden Sun is a beautiful RPG, but a little text heavy.

All great games.

Chu Chu Rocket! One of the best puzzles games on the GBA!

Super_Mario_1987 · 03-06-2003, 09:23 AM

That's true ^. Have you decided which game to get yet?

03-06-2003, 04:16 PM

Mega Man Zero is not for novices.

03-06-2003, 08:45 PM

Thanks for all your help.

It'll be either YI, LttP/FS or Wario Land 4 I think. I've played the first two (must beat LttP! MUST BEAT IT *ahem*) and she'd prolly like them. Thanks again, guys [img]smile.gif[/img]

All right!!!

I was the only one who recommended WL4, the GREEDINESS always comes through

.
I've played all 4 wario land games, can't wait for the new installment on GCN.
