What do you think of the current releases so far for the GBA and what release are you currently waiting for?

Fire Pro Advance kicks all other games ass multiple times over. The release I am looking forward to is Mario Kart ( this wednesday ) and then one of the FPS ( Doom etc ). Every friday I go to a Magic: The Gathering Tourney with my friends, and 3 of us bring GBAs and have a massive deathmatch in fire pro. Needless to say I always kick their asses, unless one of my friends uses Jebus and gets me in the sharpshooter.

I used to play magic, but lets just say that the place I used to go to was corrupt as hell.

If you want to rekindle the desire to play MTG, you should really get involved in a regular tourney like I did. I actually stopped playing for a year, but then my friend ( the one who uses jebus ) got me involved in this tourney. Since that time, I have constantly improved my deck. Once there is the drive to improve the deck, the desire to play is rekindled.
Lets just say people fear my Thorn Elemental with blanchwood armor and tree top bracers. its an evil combo, and i like it. And of course I can always just throw a lure on em and kill anyway.
As you may have noticed, I play green only. ^_^

Dude I played in tournaments all the time, and those assholes over at the store dont even do anything to enforce the DCI rules.
By the way, if you think you can beat ME with that kind of stupid crap, think again, Ill just Hibernation when you try and attack ;)

Well the tourney I play in isnt really DCI sanctioned. It is sponsored by WOTC, but it isnt for ranking in the league, so there really is no need to enforce rules. Its more for fun than anything else.
I have Castlevania for Gameboy Advance and I like that whipping action, plus ever more several modes of play. Try it out.

I have high hopes for Breath of Fire for GBA and currently I think Tony Hawks 2 rules :cool: Did anyone here about Tekken man it looks like the PSX version.

I think Bomberman Tourny was the best release
that or Mariokart

Mario Kart is sweet, and hard as hell. I just got it the other day. That thing is twice as hard as the 64 one, and SNES. I am waiting for Klonoa, I have been playing the rom its pretty good. But most of all sonic it looks awsome as hell, and DOOM.

i have to agree with Crapnut564...
Fire pro Ace(Japanese name) is simply the best out there IMO
this was my first gba game and i still play it
Spike...how about a sequel?

circle of moon indeed was very good
kinda wanted it to be longer with more playable characters
(i was hoping for guest apperance of Alucard)
i'm pretty sure Konami will release many more Castlevania
titles on GBA (hopefully ones that includes Ritcher, Simon
and Alucard)
little fact: did you guys know that Simon's name is supposed
to be pronounced "Shi-mon"? this is an official fact :)
Action Kamen

Shi-mon? Are you sure? In Japanese, it could be spelled
Sa-I-Mo-N too. Weird, huh?
Anyway, *gathers breath*
SUPER STREET FIGHTER II TURBO REVIVAL!!!!!!

i'm positive you can contact Japanese Konami and verify:)
it's like how everybody outside of Japan thought chun-li was
pronounced "Chuhn-lih" it's actually "Choon-li"

old habits die hard. I still pronounce Ryu, like Ri-yu. In the old days you didnt have anouncers to help you out in the game. Then there was that crappy SF series they had on. They said most of the names wrong.
Action Kamen
09-07-2001, 05:37 PM
Uhm, who thought Chun-Li was Chun-Li? Being Asian, I pretty much got the pronunciation of Asian names down pat. I mean English names converted.
"Ri-Yu" is correct Vegetto, did you mean "Rai-Yu"?
Hehe, I write Vegeta and Vegetto as Vegita and Vegitto, I guess it's because I was watching the old DBZ subtitled episodes all the time, lol.

Im sorry, FPA kicks all other releases out of the water. Even my newfound addiction, mario kart, can not beat the thrill of having a massive 4 player link fest in an exploding cage using created characters. It rules.

Rai-Yu is what I ment. I couldnt figure out how to spell what I ment. :) Did you see how they spell Vegetto for the US one.:mad:

Um come to think of it, Mario Advance is my current favorite, I'm still not done playing.
