Just dumped out my small bin of GBA games.

You’ve got some real bangers in that pile!
I definitely have some options when I need a GBA fix!
No pokemon emerald?
For shame
Im also not seeing mega man battle network 3: white version
Emerald is pretty pricey these days. I got my copy years ago for a fraction of the price, and I felt like it was overpriced back then.
I can relate to that. Same story, but for Virtual Boy’s NA Jack Bros. Way too expensive to get now, but I got it way back when and thought I was paying too much at the time!
I wish I could have all of them! Maybe some day…
I was never really interested in any Pokemon game after the first two gens. They just didn’t feel like different enough games to me. So with GBA, I only grabbed the remakes of the first gen when they came out.
I had a similar experience. Never played the Hoenn games, but I have copies of both FireRed and LeafGreen.
I’ve been thinking about buying the bootleg Fire Red and Leaf Green because theyre expensive, but I want to own them lol
I used to have most of the Pokemon games, but my mother took all my shit to a pawn shop when I was a teenager.
The worst part is, she probably got very little for those Pokemon games that are now worth $100+ a piece.
If you have to have dedicated carts of them - I’d say to go for it!
If all you need is to play them again - I would strongly recommend getting a flash cart instead. Repros can be pretty unreliable.
Man, the GBA had so many great RPGs on it, even if half of them were SNES rereleases. Also how did you get a copy of Mother 3, lol
I’m sure that copy of mother 3 is bootleg, right?
The mother games are the only repros I’ve purchased, it’s a crime that Nintendo didn’t localize those for NA or EUR!
So it’s just a cheap repro from eBay with an English patch. I have a flash cart too, which is probably the better way to go.
What a good generation of gaming
Shout out to Gunstar Super Heroes! I feel like many fans of the Genesis original never even knew it got a (VERY good) sequel.
It’s a great game! And Treasure seemed to work in every graphical trick they could get out of the system. There’s some impressive and chaotic graphics in that game.
Fuck man you gonna really make me play through final fantasy tactics again??
Low key actually worth a small fortune. This is a great selection.
Thank you
GBA really had an attractive cartridge design; just the molding itself. Nice proportions.
Minish Cap where? O_o
Oh, it’s right there… on my wishlist.
I do have it on my 3DS though as part of that Ambassador program. Not the same as having the cart, so I still want to track it down sometime.
Advance wars 👌
You know now that I think about it, I wonder how many M-rated games were released on the Game Boy/DS systems. I know some of the obvious ones would be id Software ports (like the Wolfenstein 3D seen in the picture) and the GTA games (both the GBA one from the mid 00s and Chinatown Wars from later), but other than those I can’t imagine the list is a very large one, especially considering most of the people who would have been playing on those systems at the time would have been kids and teens.
Edit: after a quick google search, it looks like there were a grand total of 9 M-rated GBA games released, most of them being not very good ports of more popular console/PC games (though an exception apparetly goes to Max Payne, which managed to successfully convert the original third person shooter into an isometric game). Similarly, only 11 M-rated games were released on the DS, the best and most well known of them being Chinatown Wars.
I am so glad my Metroid games and fire emblem survived
All of those RPGs and no Breath of Fire? For shame. I kid, but Breath of Fire was such a good series.
I know! 😭
It’s been on the list for a while, but there are just too many great games in the GBA library. It’s difficult to track down every cart I want (cause I kinda want all of them)
I lucked into finding them both at a retro game con. I was stoked because that completed my collection of every version of BoF.
