    Default What SHOULD be ported to GBA?

    I've read a lot of posts that have talked about what people want to be ported to the GBA, and that are disappointed with how and what IS ported to it. So, if you were in charge of picking out games to port, what would you choose?

    Me, I'd choose Rocket Knight Adventures and Comix Zone.

    There is one game I want to see ported, and I think that ALOT of people feel the same way. Gunstar Heroes is this game.

    I am just wondering if the GBA could handle this game without ripping it to shreds with some of the slowdown that haunts a few of these GBA ports.

    If they did it right, it would be a masterpiece.

    I'd much rather have them put some effort into creating some new games I'd want to play on the GBA than doing lazy ports of games I tired of years ago. There are far too many ports on the system as it stands, STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!







    I'd still buy a port of Gunstar Heros or Axelay tho...hee hee hee heeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

    calm down Tweak, have some coffee.

    That would be great to see a Gunstar port. But what about, say, a De-Cap Attack port? Or a Mega Man X port for all the little panseys who've never played it before? :P

    I don't mind ports, but feel like we're being screwed. If new original games are $30-35, then ports should be less. Especially SNES ports since they appaently take very little work to port over. Just my opinion. That said, I'd LOVE to see more shooters (ala Gradius etc)

    Dang, I still need to play Rocket Knight Adventures! :O

    Yes, I agree with the choices listed thus far (especially Axelay); but darnit, they'd better be REMAKES, not ports.

    I'd like to see Pro Wrestling get released for the e-Reader.

    I wanna see Mario's Super Picross on GBA. Oh my God that would be so good.

    Hmm...how about MegaMan 1-3 on one cartridge, and then 4-6 on another? It would sell millions!

    Wasn't there a strong rumor, not so long ago, about a GBA version of Gunstar Heroes? And what about Treasure's Tiny Toons game? Did that ever come out?

    Anyway, I'd like to see English editions of those 16-bit RPGs that we Americans never got to play in our native language outside of TEH ROMZORS or awkward PAL imports. It'd be nice if Namco translated the new GBA port of Tales of Phantasia, or if Quintet, which seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth, brought Terranigma to the handheld.

    Other than that, I'd prefer original titles, although I wouldn't mind if the next GBA Metroid was a reworked version of the first game in the series.

    They confirmed it? It looked like a remake from the previews, but I wasn't sure if Nintendo had announced it as such.

    And you know what else would be great on the GBA? Ports of old Capcom arcade titles, like Wonder 3.

    THAT would rock. There have been rumors of Radiant Silvergun being released on the GBA. PLEASE tell me they're true.

    @ RetroYoungen, Comix Zone was ported and is available in Europe.

    I'd like to see Gun Star Heros, any/all Twin Bee games, Neo Drift Out (can the GBA handle the speed and detail of NDO?), Metal Warriors and R-Type.

    I don't think they actually confirmed that yet, but it looks to be the case. I personally would rather have new games then ports, unless the game is redone well like RE on Gamecube.
