    Man, the GBA had so many great RPGs on it, even if half of them were SNES rereleases. Also how did you get a copy of Mother 3, lol

      The mother games are the only repros I’ve purchased, it’s a crime that Nintendo didn’t localize those for NA or EUR!

      So it’s just a cheap repro from eBay with an English patch. I have a flash cart too, which is probably the better way to go.

    You know now that I think about it, I wonder how many M-rated games were released on the Game Boy/DS systems. I know some of the obvious ones would be id Software ports (like the Wolfenstein 3D seen in the picture) and the GTA games (both the GBA one from the mid 00s and Chinatown Wars from later), but other than those I can’t imagine the list is a very large one, especially considering most of the people who would have been playing on those systems at the time would have been kids and teens.

    Edit: after a quick google search, it looks like there were a grand total of 9 M-rated GBA games released, most of them being not very good ports of more popular console/PC games (though an exception apparetly goes to Max Payne, which managed to successfully convert the original third person shooter into an isometric game). Similarly, only 11 M-rated games were released on the DS, the best and most well known of them being Chinatown Wars.

      I wish I could have all of them! Maybe some day…

      I was never really interested in any Pokemon game after the first two gens. They just didn’t feel like different enough games to me. So with GBA, I only grabbed the remakes of the first gen when they came out.

        I had a similar experience. Never played the Hoenn games, but I have copies of both FireRed and LeafGreen.

      Emerald is pretty pricey these days. I got my copy years ago for a fraction of the price, and I felt like it was overpriced back then.

        I can relate to that. Same story, but for Virtual Boy’s NA Jack Bros. Way too expensive to get now, but I got it way back when and thought I was paying too much at the time!

    I’ve been thinking about buying the bootleg Fire Red and Leaf Green because theyre expensive, but I want to own them lol

    I used to have most of the Pokemon games, but my mother took all my shit to a pawn shop when I was a teenager.

      If you have to have dedicated carts of them - I’d say to go for it!

      If all you need is to play them again - I would strongly recommend getting a flash cart instead. Repros can be pretty unreliable.

      The worst part is, she probably got very little for those Pokemon games that are now worth $100+ a piece.

    Shout out to Gunstar Super Heroes! I feel like many fans of the Genesis original never even knew it got a (VERY good) sequel.

      It’s a great game! And Treasure seemed to work in every graphical trick they could get out of the system. There’s some impressive and chaotic graphics in that game.

    Heyyy I just picked up a copy of Iridion 3D! I haven’t played it much yet but love the 3D effect. Kind of a Starfox style shooter.

    If I had to pick one game from your pile to pick up and play right now it’d probably be Sonic Advance. I played and re-played that game a TON, although I never actually beat it.

    Which is your favorite?

      It’s too hard to choose!

      Advance Wars is always a solid choice, with the ability to create your own maps it never really gets old.

      Metroid Fusion is one of my favorites too.

      Drill Dozer is a blast to 100%, and WarioWare is fantastic any time you pick it up!

      There are too many great games on this system for me to choose!

      I’m still looking to grab Iridion II, it’s supposed to be the superior game to the first. Love the music in Iridion 3D though 👍

      Oh, it’s right there… on my wishlist.

      I do have it on my 3DS though as part of that Ambassador program. Not the same as having the cart, so I still want to track it down sometime.
