Poll of the Day > rate my GBA collection

(+) Yeah! (+)

I sold my original GBA SP + games that I got when I was 12 at some point along the DS line because I was a kid. Been slowly building a little collection. AGS-101 SP, which I didn't originally have. Authentic carts on the left. I got Zero Mission a few years back for $100 (Canadian) in box. Just picked up Minish Cap today for $75 which is a damn good deal.

Forgot Zero Mission is CIB and I have the Superstar Saga Instruction booklet.

Even if those are repo carts (pokemon games are especially common for Repro carts. I bought a repro firered cart a couple years ago), solid lineup so far.

At least one is, Mother 3. :P

I suppose you have some nice games, but could be better. A good start at least.

Ha, I've think I've still got that somewhere.

7/10.

Good games but the fact that you have so few keeps you from getting a higher score

All authentic carts are on the left, only FFV and Mother 3 are repro.

less inclined on Zero/Battle Network because of the collections, although the top ones would be a good idea...

suuuper weird I haven't heard of Fist of Mars...I watch so many damn compilation videos of games. thanks!

Yeah Fist of Mars is pretty good imo. It has a couple different story paths based on how you complete some specific missions. And if you get skilled enough at the targeting minigame you will never take damage, and always do critical damage. It's a pretty interesting mechanic. That and it's just oozing with that late 90's/early 2000s anime aesthetic. Also it's kind of Tactics RPG with some Visual Novel thrown in there.

Fist of Mars is that super robot wars clone with the weird ass targetting minigame right? I played both GBA SRW OG games but never heard of Fist of Mars until the past few years

I'm not sure what Super Robots Wars is, but Fist of Mars is a Zone of the Enders spinoff.

Strategy RPG game series that is a massive crossover series. If something had giant robots, they probably show up in at least one of the games.

Fist of Mars uses the exact same engine and was developed by the exact same team as the people who made early Super Robot Wars, it just uses Zone of the Enders setting

there's a couple dozen Super Robot Wars games out there, but for the longest time the only ones we had officially in English were the GBA games that seem to use the exact same engine as Fist of Mars lmao. there's just some shooting minigame added too

instead of the shooting minigame, SRW games have long detailed attack animations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg2I7TPHNiU
