Yeah the only series that was really worse on DS what happened? (mystery of emblem was okay I guess)
Worm light, boom.If only it had a lit screen from the beginning. Shipping the GBA as it was with the screen that dark was one of the worst decisions they ever made
Lol I feel you. Also in retrospect the castlevania games on GBA were kinda shitty sans aria

Current gen is worse in this respect IMO.The remasters and ports were way out of control.

I would do almost anything to have the 3ds be compatible with GBA games legitimately. So many awesome games on the GBA... incredible little machine.
Too many ports. I like my portable SNES games but it lacks the originality of the DS library
As dumb as it sounds, playing THPS2 blew my mind when I bought mine near release. Sucks that was the same year my friends and I started high school and gave up on handhelds for whatever reason. I really should go back and start buying some games I missed. Sucks building the 3DS with GBA games playable wasn't the direction they went.
Man, this console really was pretty godlike. It was the first true backwards-compatible console, right?
I mean, IMO the GBC and GB were similar enough for that not to count. The GBA even had differently-shaped cartridges, but the old ones still ran just fine on it.
I remember them being on clearance for $30 here and I didn't pick one up.I regret not buying a gba micro when I had the chance.
Warioware is that true shit. Best new thing Nintendo has ever made in years.
I just dropped $80 for an AGS-101 panel to mod my OG GBA
ex.
You're making me want to buy an SP again dammit.
Gamewise it's the greatest portable system of all time imo. A lot claim that the DS is better, but I feel like the DS mostly had shovelware and the best games on the DS are nothing compared to the best on the GBA.
I'm sorry man, but no. Just a few DS games off the top of my head:
Pokemn DPPt
Pokemon HGSS
Pokemon BW
Pokemon BW2
World ends with you
999
Elite Beat Agents
Dragon Quest 5: Hand of the Heavenly Bride
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Chrono Trigger
List goes on and on...
Not to take away from the GBA, which I love, but the DS library is insane. The top ten Gba don't come close to the top 10 DS titles.

Mother 3 is better than anything on the DS.
Also, who puts Portrait of Ruin over Dawn of Sorrow?

Quite a bold statement. Not saying the DS isn't great but the library of the GBA tops it for me personally. No 2D Metroid on DS is my main reason.
Megaman negates that.The fact alone that GBA had the worst mainline pokemon games, and the DS had the best, is a reason enough to put DS over the top. Cant be the GOAT handheld without amazing Pokemon games. Fire Red and Leaf green were great, but not enough to wash out the bad taste of RSE.
