I suppose I can finally beat Pokemon Blue and Link's Awakening now.

How come they developed for iOS and not Android? I get why you wouldn't port it on mobile at all so you don't have to deal with a touchscreen but I don't see why an open source project would go for the walled garden and neglect the more flexible and cheaper alternative

Catrap is a funny little puzzle game. Heiankyo Alien is a port of a really classic maze game.

Surprised to see nobody recommend Mega Man V, which unlike its predecessors is a bespoke entry, very cool.

If you like retro Legend of Zelda, try Crystalis

there was a period of time where the lack of good kirby made me feel that there was indeed a Kirby Blackball thonk

The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are both great.

Some that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

  • Final Fantasy Adventure (first Mana game)
  • Castlevania II
  • Mario's Picross (if you're into picross)
  • Kirby's Dream Land 2
  • Super Mario Land 2
  • Mole Mania (if you like sokobans)

Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge goes so hard waow-based

[-] nemmybun@hexbear.net 4 points 18 hours ago

Yes! It's really incredible what they could accomplish on the GB. I wish the other two games were better.

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 18 hours ago

yea Legends moment

Donkey Kong 94 - great puzzle platformer

Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru - Japan-only, but has an English patch. A lot of stuff from Link's Awakening was prototyped in this game

Kaeru no Tame

FrogPog

Damn if this were released in English it would have been my whole identity as a kid

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 3 points 14 hours ago

There's an English patch so now it can be your whole identity as an adult!

It's really good, though. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes Zelda games. Prince Richard from Link's Awakening is originally from this game.

It's on the Japanese Switch Virtual Console (in Japanese though), too!

Wario Land, especially 2 and 3. 1 is good too, just very different from later entries.

[-] 12022081631@hexbear.net 6 points 23 hours ago

wario land 2 blew me away. played it for the first time a few years ago. absolutely fantastic

[-] dannoffs@hexbear.net 4 points 22 hours ago

Wario Land 3 is hands down the best GBC game.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 hour ago

Whoops, forgot that was a gbc game

Oh well, play it anyway it's fantastic

[-] dannoffs@hexbear.net 2 points 1 hour ago

Sameboy does GBC too so it's all good

[-] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

final fantasy legend series, old school saga frontier games

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

Noted. Haven't tried these yet.

[-] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

Also check out battle for Olympus, it's like Zelda. Also Sword of Hope 1 and 2.

[-] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 5 points 22 hours ago

The two Pokemon TCG games on GBC are really fun.

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 4 points 18 hours ago

There's an English translated rom.

I have it on my R4DS cart i think lol i have no idea where that is

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 3 points 18 hours ago

If I can find my r4 I'll go hunting!
