Why did Square Enix need to put them in there in the first place when a normal action RPG like its predecessor could have worked just as easily? Who knows but one thing is for sure, this was a fun way to wait things out until the proper sequel. It is better than the PS2 remake thanks to the gorgeous pixel art.
This is another case where two games are almost tied with each other. The release, just titled Fire Emblem , should be applauded the most for being significant to the West. It was the first game introduced over here since the series debuted on the Famicom, or NES, in in Japan.
This entry in the Tactics Ogre series is perhaps the first one that caught any sort of widespread attraction. Most of the other Nintendo entries released in the West before this felt more experimental. To hammer it home, this is Final Fantasy Tactics but without the name and not as bloody as that first game. Unlike other Metroid games, Aran's journey was fraught with more peril than usual thanks to her Power Suit being damaged and replaced with a deadly parasite.
Always outmatched but never outgunned, Metroid Fusion focused on enhancing its gameplay with atmospheric visuals and sounds, creating a deadly journey for the hero and a template from which future Metroid games would be inspired. Read our Metroid Fusion review. The original Metroid is a flawed classic, a pioneer in action from the 8-bit genre that was just begging for a proper remake. What really made Metroid: Zero Mission one of the best remasters of its time though, was the love and care that was applied to its core mechanics and tweaks to create a smoother experience.
Once you unlocked the original game as a slyly-hidden extra, those differences really stood out, and when combined with the new cinematics and extra gameplay content after the traditional battle with Mother Brain, Zero Mission stood tall as one of the best Metroid experiences on the Game Boy Advance.

Game Freak had raised the bar for sequels with its mammoth tour of the Johto region, and for Pokemon's third-generation debut on the Game Boy Advance, the developer had its work cut out for it. While Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire may not have as much real estate to explore as its predecessor, it was arguably a superior sequel that further polished every single aspect of a traditional Pokemon journey with a stunning new region, dozens of new critters to capture, and a presentation that looked like a million Poke-bucks.
With some of the best new Pokemon designs of its time, a wonderfully wet landscape to explore, and extra features such as stuffing your team full of delicious handcrafted candies, Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire continued to raise the bar, while the Emerald edition of the game refined its ideas into a well-received greatest hits package.
Read our Pokemon Ruby review. In what would become a new tradition for the Pokemon franchise, the original games of the series were entirely remade and brought into the modern era of handheld gaming. The main beats of the story--a trainer challenging eight gyms in order to prove their worth to the Elite Four and ultimately become a Pokemon master--had been retained, but these remakes also contained several features that had been introduced in Generation III.
A new region in the form of the Sevi Islands was added, Team Rocket had a much larger role in the story, and numerous other tweaks under the hood made the classic Pokemon games feel like a rejuvenated experience.
The always-lovable Luigi was playable, the visuals were tweaked to look better on the handheld console, gameplay readability was a cut above the original game, and stages now had extra collectibles to search for in the form of Dragon Coins.
It may not have added that much to the original game, but that's because there really wasn't much more that Nintendo could do to improve on an all-time classic. More than two decades after it heel-flipped onto the Game Boy Advance, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is still a modern-day miracle that has held up brilliantly.
Developer Vicarious Visions somehow managed to squeeze all the addictive attitude of Neversoft's sensational skateboarding game into an isometric package of sick flips, instrumental covers of the influential soundtrack, and impressive graphics that never skipped a beat. Some concessions were obvious, but at its core, this version of Birdman's adventures had all the charm and attitude it needed to skate with its bigger brothers on home consoles. The third game about micro-games starring Wario, Mario's hilarious doppelganger was in his prime with this outing.
A gyro sensor in the cartridge made each digestible micro-game that much more fun to play, providing the signature twisting excitement that the box art delivered. Immaculately presented with Wario's bizarre art design, the third time was the charm with this collection of quirky games. In the s, Wario had finally stepped out of the shadow of Mario and begun forging an identity for himself as Nintendo's mascot for weird, wonderful, and wacky games.
Wario Land 4 is no different, as between superb platforming segments there was a clever selection of bonuses that could be uncovered with a return to each stage. While it may have looked like a smaller game at first, Wario Land 4's modest stages were packed with extra detail, providing substance and style in each. Read our Wario Land 4 review. Got a news tip or want to contact us directly? The next biggest change occurred in when the company released Game Boy Micro. The design was similar but the device was smaller and designed for playing games on the constant go and was aimed for teenagers and children.
The new console is compatible with the games developed for Game Boy Advance. But, the truth is different. GBA has controls located on the left and right sides of the screen while Game Boy has them below the screen. The main idea was to provide easier and more focused gaming to gamers without sacrificing any space of the device.
One of the most appealing features was wireless gaming which was advertised as a huge improvement over older consoles. It has 32 KB of internal memory and KB external. The display is TFT with x pixels resolution and Other than bringing the classic NES experience to the palm of your hand, Dawn of Souls also introduces several small changes to gameplay, an updated Bestiary, and four additional dungeons to beef up the decade-old game. While combat in this Action RPG is nothing out of the ordinary, your objective in each mission is.
But the darker tone of the storyline was pretty exciting as a teenager. Puzzles are as complex as ever, and the visuals are top-notch. As the last entry in the Mega Man Battle Network series, the sixth installment was met with lukewarm reviews that accused the series of becoming stale after so many iterations.
It keeps the same level of deep customization and challenging battles that made the series famous, and additions like the Cross System and Beat Out mode are a cool way to keep it fresh. The story is nothing special this time around, but it does serve to tie several plot threads present since the very first game, which gave fans a much-needed sense of closure. What makes the third installment in the Tactical RPG series stand out from the rest is the expertly-written story, easily the best one out of all six iterations on the GBA.
It follows Lan on his struggle to stop Dr. Wily and the evil WWW organization from releasing Alpha, a prototypical version of the Internet, bound to destroy society as they know it. The music in this game does wonders for its most dramatic scenes, and it features one of the most emotional, heart-wrenching endings in the franchise… Well, almost.
Other than this unique gimmick, the game is a very competent and visually striking action-RPG that follows Django on his quest to cleanse the land of evil vampires hence the weaponized sunlight. After a vampire steals his Gun del Sol and his hometown of San Miguel is destroyed, Django must once again embark on a quest against the forces of evil. This change makes fighting in this Action RPG much more up-close and personal, keeping it from feeling like a repetition of the original game.
This game was the first to introduce the ATB system to the Final Fantasy series, which has players inputting commands in real-time. While the ATB introduced by the previous game remains, this game re-introduces class customization in the form of a Job system.
It also features a new optional dungeon with a new boss. For example, the perspective from which the battles are presented creates an illusion of depth and looks very dynamic.
