Hello all,

I don't know for sure, but it sounds like I might be getting a GBA:SP for X-Mas from my grandparents. They asked me what I wanted...I told them I didn't know. They know I liked videogames, so they said something about the commercial for the "handheld thing from Nintendo" and I told them it was GBA:SP and that "yeah, it looks nice".

So If I get it (and I think I will) I'll be getting Super Mario Advance 4 with it....along with Super Mario Advance 2 I think (is that the original SMB from NES?). I also wanted to know if there was a Mario Golf game coming out next year...I heard something about that and Mario Golf for GBC was my favourite handheld game ever.

Thanks in advance.

If you're getting a GBA, I reccomend picking up Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. It's more fun than you can shake a stick at.

Re: Info wanted
 

Please tell me you wrote that on purpose... :p

And I believe Super Mario Advance 2 is actually the remake of Super Mario World for SNES. There was a remake of the original SMB for NES, but that was for GBC. Too many abr. in that sentence...

What he said.

Re: Info wanted
 

No. Super Mario advance 2 is Super Mario World from the Super Nintendo. If you want the origional Super Mario bros from the NES, your going to have to pick up Super Mario Bros Deluxe, on the gameboy color.

I believe I cleared that up. :p

Sad thing is...I read it without ever faltering.

Re: Info wanted
 

can't get anything past you...dammit

thanks guys...I'll check out the Mario Kart game too. Is Mario & Luigi sort of an RPG ala Super Mario RPG?

Re: Info wanted
 

Yep.

Re: Info wanted
 

Ah, that you did. I thought I read through all the previous posts but I guess I somehow missed yours. sorry.

Re: Info wanted
 

Yes. Its basically the sequel to Super Mario RPG/Paper Mario.

Re: Info wanted
 

I'd say Mario and Luigi was based more on Paper Mario than Mario RPG, but if you were a fan of Mario RPG, definitely check it out.

And pick up Fire Emblem if you want another game. It fecking owns.

If ya liked the 2D sonic games, you should pick up Sonic advance 1/2.

If you haven't played Yoshi's Island on th Snes, you should definately do so for the GBA! I think that Super Mario Advance 3.

Like the others said, if you want the original mario games, you gots to pick up advance 1 (whcih also contains the second mario game). As for the ultimate port, there's Zelda:ALttP.

Metroid Fusion's very good, though more linear than Super Metroid.

Advance wars isn't bad either, and if you like RPG's, canlt go wrong with Golden Sun 1/2 or Fire emblem.

Come on Stu! Cut the crap, let go that Sony pride, and just admit it that you are excited! ;) :p

Re: Info wanted
 

The Castlevaina games.

Trust me on this one.

Get em.

Re: Info wanted
 

Indeed. The Castlevania games are awesome.

Other than that, I back these guys up on Superstar Saga. It's a very solid Mario RPG title. LttP: Four Swords is great (really great if you've got other people with the game).

Other than that I'm not really a big GBA guy.

Re: Info wanted
 

I played the first Castlevania AGB game till I got to the boss. Damn difficult, way out of proportions. :mad:
The rest of the game plays like Metroid. And Metroid Fusion doesn't play enough like Metroid...

The games I most enjoy on the AGB are... Golden Sun and... I don't remember... :(

Re: Info wanted
 

I can't wait for Mario Golf! I like the preview thing on EB Games :

"THIS WILL BE THE BEST MARIO GOLF GAME FOR GBA!"

haha... how about the only one too.. lol
