I've recently developed a taste for older consoles and their games like NES, SNES, Master, Genesis . Etc. I think I already got the home consoles right and satisfied with my collections. I really regret not having these during my childhood... What I'm really "into" now are the handhelds of the yesteryears. Namely, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, GBA and the Sega Game Gear. I missed out on GB and GBC during my younger days, I owned a Game Gear instead before buying a GBA years later. Now, I want you dudes to reccommend titles that were released for these handhelds. Any genre will do, although I really prefer RPG's, platformers and adventures. Take note though, I already have most of the popular titles like Zelda and Pokemon.

It's not very obscure but I would alwasy recommend Golden Sun and it's sequel as amazing GBA games

[bblues]

Rivera: The Promised Land is a decent JRPG/VN on the GBA.


Can't be bothered to think of more right now.

[Seraphinox]

Earthbound for all!

GBC: Pokemon Trading Card Game. Too much of my childhood was wasted on that.
GBC: 49-in-1. It had Ducktales for god's sake. That's all you ever needed.
GBA: Rebelstar: Tactical Command. If you've ever played the XCOM series, think XCOM on GBA mixed with an RPG. It's a great game with a pretty fun multiplayer.

Seraph, this topic is for sharing obscure games, not gushing over your overrated love interests. Shut the hell up already.

The GBA has Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis, a game that nobody else likes.

dangit

I can only think of Pokemon and Zelda games

I managed to get a hold of Avenging Spirit for the Gameboy. It really looks archaic but the gameplay is sure ahead of its time. It plays a lot like Megaman but instead you are a spirit that could possess your enemies and use their varying abilities. It's a bit difficult though...
Keep the suggestions coming, guys. Thanks.

Somebodies a little harsh for no reason.

I would consider the Earthbound games to be fairly obscure

And the reason nobody ever liked Tactics Ogre, is because nobody really knew about it, I played it and did like it, but I played it after having played FFTA and FFTA2 so it just felt very clunky and hard to play.

Woah there Boney, that was really uncalled for. Keep it to yourself, please.

Blazer, my post was relevant to the topic, his TWO posts weren't. Don't take his side.

No shat nobody knew about it. What is this thread about? Obscure games.
Also, you have no taste if you think that final faggotry is better than tactics ogre.

If theres something bothering you, I'm unsure as to why I'm the target of your ire.

I was just giving a reason as to why the game is obscure, you were saying it as if you were the only person to have ever liked the game ever.

Don't put words in my mouth please, where in my post did I say Final Fantasy was better? I said I played it first and because of that Tactics Ogre, due to it's age, felt clunkier to play because it missed some of the mechanics of the Final Fantasy versions. I didn't say one was better than the other.

Edit. The Metroid games on GBA are pretty obscure, and balls to the wall hard

This is all subjective, not objective...



Regardless, Dragon Warrior 1/2 for GBC? They were alright IIRC.

Damn, 3520 posts and still comparable to a new member that makes irrelevant double posts.

Battle Arena Toshinden is an obscure game.

I'm so lost as to why theres such a level of animosity in your posts. If my games are in no way obscure and not relevant to the topic, you could just say to me "Hey, those games are fairly well known, they're not obscure at all, you're going to have to come up with better examples" instead of verbally harassing me and telling me to shut up. Perhaps I didn't know they weren't obscure?

No need to put such personal attacks in a generic thread about video games, if my games were not obscure, either just tell me that without jumping down my throat, or leave well alone instead of trying to start pointless drama in a thread thats simply talking about video games.

I always thought Earthbound wasn't noticed nearly as much as it should be...
Regardless, Ninja Five-O is about as obscure I've seen on the GBA, and what I've played of it is excellent. Think Bionic Commando plus Ninja Gaiden. The GBA Metroids were amazing, but I remembered those being some of the more well-known GBA titles to be released.
oh, there's this one series called fire emblem that's pretty obscure outside japan- *shot*

[SmashedFish]

Bit of a necro, but I wanted to point out the Wario Land series and Monster Rancher Explorer/Battle Card, so that works.
