Riviera the Promised Land
Summon Night Swordcraft Story 1 and 2

Gunstar Heroes
Dragon Ball Advance
>>337859367
That's pretty much all there is, unless there are some hidden gems I'm not aware of
There's also mario kart, f-zero and a shitton of snes/nes ports but they aren't really essential
>>337858876
obscure gba games
Gash Bell Dream Tournament
Pyu to Fuku Jaguar
and a few more I can't remember
They're pretty straight forward
>>337858876
Boktai games (not emulated, actually get the cartridge)
Castlevania trilogy
FF Tactics Advance
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
Fire Emblem and Sacred Stones
Wario Land 4
>>337859537
>>337859367
I forgot to mention Zelda: The Minish Cap
Love that game
>>337860489
If this was DS, feel free to slap me. But FFTA2 was much much much better than FFTA. Even though I logged a solid 120 hours into FFTA, and still have fond memories of my assassin that would warp behind people and give the touch of death. I loved my group....
Advance Wars 2
Should be named Bus Wars 2, this shit was my go too with 3 friends on field trips
>>337860489
I played the cartridge versions of Boktai 1 and 2
And the sun panel gimmick is actualy endearing and fun to actually use
But is it necessary to enjoy the game, not really
It does have its charm but I don't think OP could even get them, they're rare and you would have to have a GBA if you still have one, and live in a place where getting sunlight isn't a drag
>>337859537
10/10 list.
Also pic related Is nice.
>>337860721
FFTA2 is honestly the better game as far as game mechanics go
Too bad the story, characters, and horrible MC (Luso) bring that down
>>337860836
>>337859537
>boktai 1 & 2
MAH NIGGAS
>>337858876
metroids advance wars and fire emblems. most megamans.

>>337860835
>tfw you'll never play multiplayer GBA games with your friends again without looking like a virgin nerd.
>>337861101
Days of Ruin was great on DS
Megaman Zero 1-4 (If you have a DS you're better off playing the collection)
Megaman Battle Network from 2 onwards
Castlevania CotM and AoS, play HoD with the Revenge on the findesiecle romhack
Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls (compare them to the PSP versions and see if these are more to your liking)
Sonic Battle
Pokémon Emerald
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red rescue team
Pokémon Fire Red
Metroid Fusion
Metroid Zero Mission
Golden Sun
Kirby and the Amazing mirror was honestly a big disappointment, avoid it if you played Super Star already

Every time I download this rom the save file keeps getting corrupted
And it's happened every time I've tried to pick up the game
Anyone else have this issue? I think it has something to do with the game's clock and how it works
>>337861448
Have you tried, I don't know, save states instead?
>>337860418
That one
>>337861525
yeah, but then I fuck up real bad with them
I guess I should just make two save states instead
>>337861681
Use the save state when you save ingame, that way you can't fuck it up
>>337861681
Or maybe, juuuuust maybe. Treat the save states the same as you would normal saving?
Have a little discipline? Assuming, of course, that pokemon isn't save wherever the fuck you want. It's been a while since red/blue.
>>337860835

real negros right here
advance wars is GOAT
>>337861195
oh, true
actually my fav aw
Anyone know where I can get an R4 cart for DS games? It's sold out on mainstream shipping sites for obvious reasons.
You can also put gba roms in it right?
Or should I just try this CFW thing people have been talking about for the 3DS
Can I play older DS games as well as GBA games on it?
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, Link's Awakening
All Castlevania games
Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal
Golden Sun
Dragon Quest 3
>>337860937
I forgot about the Kirby Games
All great
But OP might as well get Super Star Ultra
Or Nightmare in Dreamland
>>337859495
better than the dozen daily Overwatch threads
>>337861975
>You can also put gba roms in it right?
Only in specific flashcarts
>>337858876
Battle network franchise. Currently marathoning this, and I can say I like this more than Zero series.
It's a fucking blast.
>>337864204
wait until you get to 4
Sonic Advance 1 2 and 3
Shame real cartridges are so expensive.
>>337864286
You sure? You're talking to a guy who enjoyed battlechip challenge.
>>337864286
different anon, Im marathoning the series again myself, I was excited to play through them all again, except for 1 and 4 I remembered 'that' part that really made me hate those games in particular so I'm just gonna skip them. maybe I'll go back to 1 eventually to relive the days of it being kinda clunky. But 4 I'm gonna skip all together. Can't stand it.
>>337864610
I already done part 1, what 'part' you're speaking here?
>>337864856
not that guy but I think he means the Undernet area
What a hassle, and I think there was an ice themed stage that sucked
>>337864495
my nigga
Loved battlechip challenge
>>337864495
I mean it's not that bad, but the idea behind getting random scenarios and double souls and needing multiple gamethrough to get the full experience is just terrible
I wish you could soft reset to at least get whatever first 3 souls you really want
>>337864610
to be honest, all of the games have at least that ONE scenario that sucked, but they are still great games to be playedi miss this series so much, they defined my childhood
>>337864856
The part with the power plant or whatever that place was. Hated it greatly as a child. And as the other anon stated the undernet was hated just as much.
>>337865363
That's why I hated 4. But overall I didn't like the locations and really did not like the music at all. Save for maybe one or two tunes.
>>337865763
That is true, they all had one really annoying area I could think of.
But I agree, if one has never played through the series at all, it's worth it to playthrough the mainline games at least once.
I would love a new one with online.
>>337866000
>Literally titled battle network
>No official online gameplay
Wasted potential I tell you.
Not including SNES ports/remakes
Donkey Kong Land games
LoZ: Link's Awakening
LoZ: Oracle of Seasons
LoZ: Oracle of Ages
Megaman Zero games
Megaman Battle Network games (you can skip 1 and 4)
B-K Grunty's Revenge
LoZ: Minish Cap
Metroid Fusion
Metroid Zero Mission
Warioland games
Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga
Lufia: The Legend Returns
I'm sure I missed some but other anons will name them.
>>337866194
You'd think they'd add it to the DS version of 5, but no. Nothing.
>>337861278

>>337866827
DS version?
>>337867214
yeah the DS port of 5 came with both versions of the game and a couple of new gameplay gimmicks, I recall plugging in your BN GBA cartridges would change the battle music to a remixed version of that games battle music. It was pretty sweet.
>>337867513
So you could use all 12 souls and navis in liberation missions?
>>337867640
I think you could once you beat both versions. I never did because 6 came out by then.
>>337867156
>Shitty power ups that are a direct downgrade from a game released years ago
>Useless gimmick
>Boring rooms and enemies that respawn as soon as they leave your view
It was trash, Great Cave Offensive did it better and it was only a minigame
>>337860937
No! Fuck Amazing Mirror! Fuck that shitty map crawling, edgy alternate dimension garbage.
>>337867881
If you put in a fully completed BN5 game in the GBA slot it would give you Transport Chips to use on the DS version which let you swap each Navi's equivalent in liberation missions. So you could swap Knightman for Magnetman, Toadman for Meddy, etc.
>>337868017
>>337867943
pls go
>>337868252
Not even close. That game was trash.
>>337868252
I even provided you with arguments as to why the game is bad, what else do you want.
>>337867943
>hurr burning is representative of the entire game
you are retarded.
>useless gimmick
>he had no friends
>boring rooms
subjective, and seeing as you're a retard chances are you have shit taste.
>enemies that respawn
this is a proper grievance.
so there is only 1 reason why the game is bad. Good list.
>>337868583
>lol retard
>lol shit taste
Good job refuting those arguments man, you sure showed me. Cutter doesn't even have Final cutter, Beam doesn't charge, Plasma doesn't have projectiles, no dash attack for Ice, no projectiles for Sword, etc.
Fanboys are the fucking worst
>>337860835
mah nigga
>>337868852
the whole idea was adding more powers that are simpler to use, for a handheld with only two (2) face buttons
why are you so butthurt about "fanboys" in a fucking nintendo thread anyway
>>337868852
>projectiles for sword
>>>LoZ
In all seriousness, Sword gets a massive improvement over SS sword, as having an actual moveset and having a hitbox that's more than just a straight line is a million times better. SS sword sucked ass, and the beam didn't make it good.
>cutter
yes, cutter is shit.
>beam
beam needed a directional system, charging is stupid. Neither game has a good beam ability.
>plasma
fair enough, not charging is bullshit.
>ice
ice is just blue fire, it was fine as-is.
5/20 abilities are bad. whoop de fucking do.
meanwhile SS had exactly 2 memorable 'areas', Revenge of Meta Knight, and Milky Way Wishes finale. 3 if you want to count the RPG fights in GCO. SS is a pretty awful kirby game, mang. SSU improves on it, but it's still not that great. Nostalgiagoggles cloud your view.
>>337869216
Most of the removed mechanics work just fine with two buttons
>>337869376
Because literally taking away moves from Beam makes it better right? Both are bad but one is clearly worse than the other. I don't get what kind of mental gymnastics you have to pull off to justify removing features that were already implemented.
>5/20 abilities are bad
More like 5/20 abilities are good.
I'm not arguing for or against SS, but when they downgrade shit for no reason and you all praise it it gets kind of stupid
>>337869930
I never justified removing features, I agreed with you for the copy abilities, except for sword. I have no idea how you faggots can defend SS sword, it was basically a modified cutter, and was improved by leaps and bounds in AM. I guess I'm a bit more forgiving to AM and don't mind the simplification of abilities because I went in to SS expecting the greatest kirby game ever because you fags hyped it up and all I got was a snorefest broken up by Meta Knight shenanigans and MWW 10/10 finale.
Lunar Legend is a great RPG. Recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it before.great waifus too
>>337870389
Fair enough, maybe I was too harsh on AM's sword because I'm used to the classic one.
>>337863061
Definitely Nightmare in Dreamland
>>337870762
>>337861170
the problem is that you already look like a virgin nerd regardless of what you do
>>337868459
>edgy alternate dimension
>shitty map crawling
The first argument is bad because the only edgy thing about the game is Dark Metaknight who shows up for a scene at the beginning, as a boss, and at the end.
The second argument is subjective, as a non linear map crawler it was done very well, even forcing you to hog power ups through levels at times just to get to certain chests. Just because you don't like that type of game doesn't make it shitty.
Your arguments are pretty shit, come up with better ones.

>>edgy alternate dimension
>>shitty map crawling

You should be able to recognize this artstyle.
>>337858876
Golden Sun
Link's Awakening
Oracle of Ages/Seasons
Minish Cap
Advanced Wars 2
Nightmare in Dreamland
Mario Tennis
Pokemon Emerald
>>337872410
It doesn't change the fact those arguments are shit.
Your only good argument is the shitty power ups, when isn't that bad when SS was on a console and Amazing Mirror was on a handheld released 2 years after NiD, which also had downgraded power ups.
Enemies respawning made some levels easier and made it easier to get certain power ups in case you fucked up and killed and enemy. Enemies were never really an issue anyway.
If the useless gimmick is the multiple kirbys and mulltiplayer, well I'd suggest friends.
Great Cave Offensive had a lot more to work with and I do believe it's a lot better than AM, but AM isn't trash by any means.
