gba = best console

It's true, the gameboy advance is the best console out today. It hearkens back to a time when the success of a game depended more on innovative gameplay concepts rather than how many polygons the models and environments were made of. If a game wasn't good, it just didn't do well.

Anyway I got all of those GBA games I ordered off ebay, and they're all awesome. Out of all of them, Advance Wars has probably gotten the most attention. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance kind of changed my opinion on strategy games, they are really awesome, and Advance Wars does it really well.

Final Fight one is better than the SNES version, it has all three characters from the arcade version, and the graphics are better than the SNES. The music sounds like NES music mixed with SNES music, which is pretty common in first generation GBA games (and some later ones, unfortunately), but since it's all remixes from the arcade version, it sounds good in a "NES/SNES remake" kind of way. They turned the subway level music into a techno song but it's still pretty good.

Aria of Sorrow is definitely the best castlevania on GBA. I don't think I'll be able to play Harmony of Dissonance anymore after getting this. The gameplay is closer to Symphony of the Night, the main character fights with knives/swords instead of a whip. The level designs are better than Harmony of Dissonance, it's hard to explain why... they're just more clever with utilizing special abilities and stuff, that's always a plus. The monster soul system is really cool too, and not complicated at all. The complicated card combination system from Circle of the Moon kind of turned me off, I like my special abilities to be simple to understand and execute... that's just a preference of mine though, some people like the complicated stuff and that's why many people say Circle of the Moon is the best GBA castlevania. Graphically and Musically, Aria of Sorrow is a lot better than Harmony of Dissonance. The music in HoD (i'm going to start using acronyms now) sounded almost completely like NES/gameboy music. It was probably the game's weakest point. Aria of Sorrow's music is great and sounds more like a SNES than NES. What an awesome game.

Megaman Zero 3, I haven't played it that much. From what I've played, the graphics and sound are great, sometimes seeming closer to Playstation quality than SNES quality. It's pretty difficult, but not insanely difficult like some of the Megaman X games. The main thing I didn't like was the storyline. I don't play megaman games to read stories, I play them to [b]crush[/b]. I don't care about robot #1 betraying robot #2 or whatever, I just want to kill them with my gun. The intro to this game makes it seem like it's going to be an RPG because there is so much text and talking and cutscenes. You also have to play as Zero instead of Megaman and that's kind of lame too. Bass was the coolest Megaman character though, he could shoot in eight directions, and double jump. He was almost perfect.
