Best GB/A ports of NES and SNES games

Post by noiseredux »

The Gameboy ports of the Mega Man games were great. And the GBA Street Fighter II Turbo looks beautiful. Obviously there's the NES Classics series on GBA, as well as the Super Mario Advance series. What else blew you away?

All the SNES games except for the fact that we were denied StarFox (damned two face buttons) and Super Metroid.

Yeah, I enjoyed the original LOZ, and Link to the Past on GBA.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe was GBC, just to clarify. But yeah. It is good.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is good. It's the version I play since it's a lot cheaper than the GBA NES Classics version. Plus it has Lost Levels as an unlockable.

SNES ports are amazing on the GBA, but I realized I'm much more interested in how particular developers decided to treat the GBA almost as a SNES 2, giving old SNES titles sequels or furthering a series in a SNES style.

Mickey Magical Quest / MMQ 2&3
Super Metroid / Metroid Fusion
F-Zero / F-Zero Maximum Velocity
Link to the Past / Minish Cap
EarthBound / Mother 3
And even Megaman 7 / Mega Man and Bass to an extent, at least for those of us outside of Japan.
Those were the only ones I could come up with, but you see what I'm getting at.
