Gameboy Advance SP!

[NewDestroyer]

This thread will be devoted to discussing and talking about gameboy advance sp, btw im getting 1 today, can't wait to play the games i get

 

[WillJ]

I have one. It's great, but so far I only have Sonic Advance. Anyone recommend any other games?

Defintly get Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II. Such a good rpg, got it yesterday and played it for 5 hours last nite.

Havent got one yet. All the stores are sold out with a several month waiting list.

 

[NewDestroyer]

lol i called 4 stores yesterday and 3 were sold out. Toys R Us still had some left in my area. I got the silver one btw.

ugh sorry if this is flaming but the first goku game SUCKED. i cant believe how terrible it was, the fighting system...is the 2nd one better?

anyways, they are coming out w/ new colors (!!!), but Im still sticking to my GBA and Worm Light

 

[NewDestroyer]

the 2nd blows away the 1st

I only have a normal GBA. And I have the GBPlayer so I don't really think I need an SP.
If you guys like turn-based strategy games (which I'm guessing you all are since civ is turn-based) then get Advance Wars, either the first or second is up to you, they're both about the same. It's simple, fun, and can get insanely hard.
My current games:
Advance Wars 2
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past w/ Four Swords
Metroid Fusion
All three Super Mario Advances

I'm thinking about getting Golden Sun...oh, and I'm not interested in DBZ

 

[PritomD]

can someone interest me in golden sun or castlevania? ive heard so much about them, but im not interested yet!

I got a silver one during a road trip back in March and I picked up Metroid Fusion with it. Metroid is really sweet but the narrow square shape makes it tricky to hold the L and R buttons while using the other buttons and the control pad, I think the regular advance would be better for this game. On the other hand the built in light makes the screen much easier to see and the lith-ion battery is a great feature. It even comes pre-charged so you can start playing right away even in the car like I did.

I don't understand why you people can't get your hands on them though. Every store around here has tons of them. What country are you in?

Does no one else have Advance Wars? It's like the best non-PC strategy game I've ever played, I like it even more than Civ! Come on, this game is like a must-have for the GBA!

 

[WillJ]

Hmm, then I just might get Advance Wars as my next game. I know you already mentioned this, but I just want a clarification: Should I get the sequel? You say they're about the same, so does that mean that AV2 is slightly better? Does it follow a storyline, meaning I probably should get AV first? Just convince me to buy one or the other; I can't decide myself.

Advance Wars is one of the best games I've ever played.

I'm saving up money to get AW2 now, I've heard i was good.

I never owned the first, and got the second. They are, however, essentially the same.

The storyline does continue from the first, but it's not like AW is story-based or anything. The gameplay is the same, only with one new unit, the Neotank, and a few new buildings. There's more Commanding Officers to chose from and I heard the AI is much better. But even though the second one is much harder in general, the first few missions are basically training missions for newbies to the Advance Wars series.

Then there's the cost issue. The first will be much harder to find, but it will only cost $20 whereas the second one is abundant and costs an additional ten.

I would (and have) choose the second, but the decision is up to you.

 

[Bacon King]

I would suggest the second one as well.

 

[WillJ]

Okay, you've convinced me.

Out of curiosity who was your favorite CO?

@Willj
Glad I could be of help. Prepare to face addiction similar to Civ's.

 

[NewDestroyer]

i got advance wars 4 days ago and couldn't put it down .
lol I ran outta battery power cuz i played it too long w/o recharging.

 

[Silverflame]

YES! I finally beat Advance Wars 2! (relatively speaking)

Actually I only beat the normal campaign, there's still a ton of other stuff to do, mostly unlocking the remaining COs

 

[NewDestroyer]
