Every Nintendo Game Boy Advance Game I've Ever Played.

The next list on this "Tour-de-Force" is for every Game Boy Advance game I've ever played. Why am I doing this? As always,for Archive Purposes.

I got the Game Boy Advance for X-Mas in 2003. Then, on the following X-Mas I'd get the SP version. Today,I play my Game Boy games on the XP.


Mega Man Zero - In addition to getting my GBA, I also got a bunch of great games too. Yeah, X-Mas of 2003 was good! Anyway, Mega Man Zero was the first GBA game I ever got and ever played. Fitting for a Mega Man nut, such as myself. Anyway, MMZ is a really tough game and Not for novice players. Still, there's no denying that the game Is fun.

Mega Man Battle Network 2 - Another 2003 X-Mas gift. Mega Man Battle Network 2 is a JRPG with a unique combat system, where the character is free to move and attack during battle and the Menu System is only used to assemble your Special Weapons. Another tough game and the random battles are Super Annoying. However, the Music, Characters, Setting, and Battle System are Great. Would play the 1st game via emulation.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Another 2003 X-Mas gift. This was the first new Ninja Turtles game in a great while and would be my Last Ninja Turtles game until The Cowabunga Collection. Anyway, TMNT is based loosely on the 2k3 Show..though that's not a bad thing. TMNT is mainly a Beat'em-Up like it's predecessors, but with added vehicle stages. A challenging but fun game.   

Disney's Treasure Planet - Yet another 2003 X-Mas gift. Based loosely on the Movie. Despite the good graphics and music, I just couldn't really get into this game.

Super Mario Advance 3 - Yoshi's Island - Got this game for X-Mas of 2003 too. Super Mario Advance 3 is a slightly remastered port of Yoshi's Island for the SNES. Baby Mario's crying is as annoying as ever on the GBA. I still had fun with this game though. The SMA series also contain a fun remake of Mario Bros. Cool. Would get SMA4 later.

Sonic Advance - Yet Another 2003 X-Mas gift. This game was a result of Nintendo and Sega. Sonic Advance is a game that returns Sonic to his 2D roots. Let's just say that I love this game. The music is great and the game is fun.

Hot Wheels X-Velocity [think that's what it's called] - The last GBA game I'd get in 2003 (fox x-mas). A decent little racing game based on the famous Hot Wheels property.

Dragon Ball Z - Collectible Card Game - I bought at Gamestop in 2004. Based on the Short lived Dragon Ball Z Card Game. I was a big fan of Dragon Ball Z,so I wanted to try this game out. Not a bad game. 

Dragon Ball Z - Legacy of Goku - I bought at this at Gamestop in early-mid 2004. As a fan of the Anime, I needed to play this. It's similar to Zelda, but with Ki attacks instead of magic and punching instead of using a sword. Plus, you can fly. This game covers both the Saiyan and Frieza sagas of the Anime. I like this game too.

Pokemon Sapphire - Got this on X-Mas of 2004. I was big on Pokemon, so I had to play this. Like with Gold and Silver before it, I had fun playing this.  

Super Mario Advance 4 - Super Mario 3 - Another X-Mas 2004 gift. This is a slightly remastered port of my Favorite Mario Game. Would play the rest of the series via emulation.

Pokemon Leaf Green - For X-Mas of 2005 I got 2 Pokemon Games, this one and Pokemon Ruby. Pokemon Leaf Green is a remake of Pokemon Blue and was paired with Fire Red, which was a remake of Red. I was a fan of Generation 1 and was eager to play the remake. I wasn't disappointed.

Pokemon Ruby - I already had Sapphire and I wanted to catch the Pokemon exclusive to Ruby. So I got this game, along with Leaf Green. Good stuff.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Games I played though Emulation:

Mario Kart Super Circuit - I still loved the Mario Kart series during this era, but missed out on Super Circuit. So, I played it though emulation and had fun.

Mega Man Battle Network - The 1st game in the Mega Man EXE/Battle Network series. I pretty much had the same experience as the 2nd game.

Super Mario Advance - A slightly remixed version of Super Mario Bros 2 (the Superior Super Mario 2!!!!). I love SMB2, so I loved this game too.

Super Mario Advance 2 - Super Mario World - A slightly remixed port of Super Mario World. In don't Need a reason for liking this game, It's F'n Super Mario World!!!

Pokemon Fire Red - I decided to play this game, just to catch the version exclusive Pokemon.

Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper - This is a well ported version of the Arcade hit. I really enjoyed playing this.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival - A GBA port of Super Street Fighter II Turbo, but with new stages and slightly altered storylines for each character. Good game, though not perfect.

Final Fight One - Final Fight on the GBA corrects most of the mistakes made with the SNES port. The Rolento and Industrial Stage is present. Guy has been restored as a playable character, and the game is 2 Players. 

And That does it for this list. Next up is one for my PS2. So until next time, Space Cowboys - Punch a Nazi in the Face, Kick a Commie in the Balls, Resist Modern Attitudes, and Stay Gold.
