King Atari Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 *My apologies if this has been mentioned before* I was surprised when they updated the NES version of The 3 Stooges for the GBA, and now I hear they're coming out with A Boy and His Blob for it, too? I'm not saying I hate these games, but when were they ever top candidates for GBA ports? They need to start putting more genuine classics from the NES in updated form on the GBA. Where's Double Dragon (you knew I'd say that)? I would prefer an arcade perfect port, of course. I even wouldn't mind seeing a Bad Dudes port, either (I'm not as hateful as I used to be towards this game anymore). The game's not a classic but has some playability for awhile. Anyways, I just might have to check out ABAHB, maybe as a rental. I've been working on the NES version the last few days (not as horrible as I first thought, h*ll, I used to really want it for the system as a little kid). I want a TMNT (I, II, III) collection, as well as Mission: Impossible on the GBA. And finally, we NEED Vigilante, dangit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I want an updated Miner 2049er, Jumpman, H.E.R.O. and Space Taxi for my GBA. No 3D crap, just more levels and nicer graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miqorz Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 What about STAR TROPICS those games rocked! I am serious they have been M.I.A since the 8bit days and I say it's time to bring them back...if they won't I will! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Damn... what a weird choice. I mean, ABOHB wasn't a bad game, but I didn't think it was popular enough to warrant a remake. Especially when games like Wasteland, Dungeon Master, and so on go mostly unnoticed. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 I agree with updating Star Tropics. I bought that game new back in the day, and played the h*ll outta it. Damn... what a weird choice. I mean, ABOHB wasn't a bad game, but I didn't think it was popular enough to warrant a remake. Yeah, I wonder what made the game popular enough for such a decision to be made? Maybe David Crane's name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 A Boy And His Blob did have a Gameboy sequel called The Rescue Of Princess Blobette released about a year after the original NES game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I'd perssonally like brand new games for the GBA, not more ports of games I already own...but I digress. I think a compilation cart with all the really old sports game would be a kick (Baseball, 10-Yard Fight, Volleyball, Excitebike etc.) Or Baseball Stars. I want a new Baseball Stars.

King Atari Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 Let's not forget Contra and Super C. Didn't they release Contra III for the GBA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I think a compilation cart with all the really old sports game would be a kick (Baseball, 10-Yard Fight, Volleyball, Excitebike etc.) you need an ereader, they have already released Excitebike and Baseball, and the most expensive games are five bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 I would like to see Wing Commander or maybe something like Captain Comic (remember that one?) ported to the GBA. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would also be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 you need an ereader, they have already released Excitebike and Baseball, and the most expensive games are five bucks Just can't let me have my delusions can you??? Actually, I forgot about the e-reader... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasenoke Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I wouldn't mind "A Boy And His Blob", But I'd MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH RATHER HAVE A PORT OF RIVER CITY RANSOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasenoke Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Hell, next thing you know, we'll get a re-make of "Tom Sawyer". GOD I HATED THAT GAME!!!!!!! ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!! WHY DO YOU MAKE A VIDEO GAME OUT OF A BOOK?!?!?!?!?! AND NOT HAVE ANYTHING FROM THE BOOK IN THERE AT ALL?!?!?!?!? ARRRRRGGGGGHHH!!!!! THERE IS NO GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...ok, done ranting.

Ze_ro Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 you need an ereader, they have already released Excitebike and Baseball, and the most expensive games are five bucks ...after you pay $70 for the e-reader... at least, that's what they sell them for around here. So, if I bought Excitebike, and both Donkey Kong games, then I'm spending an average of $28 per game. I can get whole GBA games for cheaper than that, and I don't have to swipe cards to get them. As for continuous remakes... Keep this in mind: If you stop buying the remakes, they'll stop making them. Let me repeat: If you stop buying the remakes, they'll stop making them. So all of you who bought the Super Mario Advance games, or Legend of Zelda are just making things worse, and opening the door for more remakes that will see Nintendo profit millions from a weekend of work. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 well, i dont buy too many games in general, but if a company is going to be jerks about emulation and the availibility of ROMS, they should at least make a commercial version of their games available. I do wish Nintendo would make a GameCube compilation of old games, rather than release them one at a time on the GBA. The EReader is forty dolllars US (includes one game), so its not that bad of a deal IMO (plus if you play animal crossing, its a great add on), and the other projects for the ereader like Mario Party E look to be pretty cool.

Vic George 2K3 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Well, if you don't like remakes, don't buy them. If someone hasn't played the original game before, why should your buying habits bully others into not buying the same games you've already played and are not interested in replaying? A newness of a game doesn't always equal quality anymore than how long ago an old game was made. If all we have on our systems are just new games, what will there be for those who don't enjoy what you enjoy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer to see things the opposite way - if I keep buying remakes, Nintendo will keep making MORE of them, which is exactly what I want. Now if they'll put out X1, X2, X3 for the GBA, I'll be in pure heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Great... looks like I'll have to wade through piles of rehashed games that I already have for quite some time Thanks a lot everyone. Anyways, back to A Boy And His Blob... is this expected to be a straight port from the NES? Can we expect better graphics? More jellybeans? Anything? As weird as it was, I always thought it was fairly nifty (even if I sucked at the game) --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
