SNES games you wish would be ported to GBA

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Nintendo have done a good job so far with porting classic Snes games to the GBA, but I fear this era is almost to an end now the DS is on the scene and they are now doing ports of classic N64 titles...

But... - The GBA Micro is due to be released soon, so perhaps there is life in the old GBA still...

I really hope they don't do Snes ports for the DS. If anything, i'd like to see a few more N64 ports - Ie, Ocarina Of Time; Banjo Kazooie; Paper Mario Etc...


What games do you think Nintendo or other companies should / could upgrade to the GBA?


Personally, i'd like to see:

• Donkey Kong Country III - They've done the first two, now what about the third???
• Super Metroid - Come on Nintendo, treat us to a third Metroid to play on the go...
• Terranigma - Square, why ever not?
• Chrono Trigger - Square, don't you see the potential here???
• Secret Of Mana - Anyone see a trend here? Sword Of Mana was great, so why not give us the sequel?
• Final Fantasy VI - Square would make so much money out of releasing this, I swear!
• Mario RPG - Ok, i'm not doing this Square thing on purpose, but this is one of the greatest Mario games ever!
• Castlevania: Dracula's Kiss - One of the greatest of the Castlevania games

Sega seem to have the idea by releasing sequels to classic Mega Drive games

And i'm sure that there are a load of early PS1 games out there which could be easially ported to the GBA - Look what they did to Broken Sword for instance!

Cameltry/On the Ball. Preferably with tilt sensor. God that would be awesome.

I have a SNES, if I want to play SNES games I can do it without shelling 30.00 out to Nintendo again.

[jajaja]

Hm.. isnt the first Metroid game for GBA simular to Super Metroid? I do own Super Metroid, but only tested it for 2 min. Played through both for GBA tho

Anyways.. I think I would like more Beatem Up games for GBA like Final Fight 2 and 3. Sunset Riders would also be cool.

[NE146]

Good lord is there any question? STARFOX!

Starfox 64 was sort of a dissapointment to me.. I'd imagine a spiffier version/sequel of the SNES style would make a dandy GBA game

(oh.. and PLEASE keep the original music). Ok I'm done.

[fishsandwich]

Yo... DKC3 is coming out very soon for GBA, so at least you have that.

I just want Mother 1 + 2 translated, for the love of god.

Play through Super Metroid asap. One of the best games of all-time that imo any fan of 2D games needs to experience. And to answer your question, it's more open to exploration than Fusion was.

It's a shame Super Metroid hasn't been ported to the GBA, but at least we got a couple new 2-D Metroids.

Some more that would be good:

ActRaiser
Axelay
Claymates
Contra III
Demon's Crest (preferably with a battery save this time around)
Dino City (preferably w/battery save)
Jurassic Park (battery save a must)
Secret Of Evermore
Space Megaforce
Spanky's Quest (at least there's a Game Boy version... I ordered it from EB and I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail. I wonder how it holds up)
Spectre
Super Baseball 2020
Super Castlevania IV (preferably w/battery save)
Super Pinball: Behind The Mask
Wario's Woods

Wiseguy response #1:

What? I thought they'd already ported all the SNES games to the GBA!

Wiseguy response #2:

I have a SNES, if I want to play SNES games I can do it without shelling 30.00 out to Nintendo again.

Option 1: I have a kart and a friend named Mario! If I want to have a kart race with Mario I can do it without shelling out money for those silly electronic amusements!

Option 2: I'll bet the girls are disappointed when they find out that it's an SNES making that bulge in your pants.


Anyway, Space Megaforce.

Don't forget it has to work within the GBA's button limits.

That said, Chrono Trigger would be awesome.

[Snapple]

None. I already paid for the games once. I'm not going to line the pockets of Nintendo execs for doing no work.

I don't really have many situations where I need to play games portably anyway. If I want to play a game, I have a tv at home that runs games just fine. If I'm out doing something... then... I'm out doing something.

Hey, I'll invite my friends out for coffee and then ignore them while I play Mario.

Hey, I'll play Metroid while I'm driving to work instead of watching the road.

Hey, I'll fire up Tetris instead of taking notes for my next exam.

I can't think of any commonplace situations where portable systems are necessary for adults. So if I have the option of playing on either a tiny screen, or a big screen, I'll take the big screen every time. The only reason I even have a GBA is for the GBA-only titles.

Re-re-re-releases of old games that don't exactly push the limits of today's hardware are just another way for lazy developers to gouge more money out of their loyal followers with minimal labor involved.

My cock is really small and doesn't bulge unless I'm pitching a tent.

That is all, carry on.

[ddockery]

here's are tons of commonplace situations fr portable gaming. I'm not in a big enough city myself, but #1 has to be train/subway. Waiting rooms are up there too.

[Ed Oscuro]

Heh, I'd like to see some GBA games ported to SNES ;D

Waiting room, bathroom, public transportation, bed, slow day at work, waiting for food, waiting for company, conversation piece at bars*...I find plenty of time for my GBA.

*True story, a really attractive girl approached me at a bar the other day. I didn't remember her initially, but she remembered me because I guess during one particular drunken night, we ended up playing Zelda 3 together.

[drwily008]

Not an SNES game per say, but I would love to see the 2 Super Famicom Dragon Quests translated and put on the GBA. Man would that make my day!

[pookninja]

i would be cool if they released lufia 2 for gba

[Sylentwulf]

I have a SNES, if I want to play SNES games I can do it without shelling 30.00 out to Nintendo again.

Yeah, basically. My answer? NONE.

But if I had to pick, ANY of the rpg's from the snes, on the DS. (FF4,6,CT,etc...)

[esquire]

any of the shmups:
Axelay
Space Mega Force
UN Squadron
Aero Blasters
Blazeon
Darius Twin
Earth Defense Force
Imperium
Raiden Trad
Super Nova

Also would like to see:
Phantom 2040
Super Turrican 1 & 2
Demon's Crest

[stuffedmonkey]

Super Punch Out!!! If I saw that they were releasing that - I think I would ejaculate right then and there.
