Love finding awesome games for old systems that I had no idea existed, my kid and I are going to have a blast with this one!
Just GBA, Square Enix did all these releases for it and I'm a big fan of the series and the system. Just threw Tactics in because it's also "Final Fantasy" on the GBA. And figured I'd put the DS III in there too for the hell of it.
I have the original Tactics installed on my PS Classic. π€·
It took years grabbing these as they've popped up for decent prices, just recently grabbed V to finish it off. Wish III had been released as a GBA cart.
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 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.
Thank you
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 π
Took all my games out of their protective cases and dumped them out on the table. Sometimes it's just satisfying to rummage through a bunch of carts, hold them in your hands, and admire the label art. Does anyone else periodically do this with their physical games?
Years ago I inherited my wife's family's Game Gear. After a recap, and replacing the backlight, I started tracking down games to play on it. It's been great exploring a whole library of games that I skipped out on as a kid! (I was a Nintendo kid) Now I have a nice little library of carts to play on this beast of a 90's handheld.
You could try Ingress, it was the game that Niantic built PokΓ©mon on top of.
Not sure if it would be interesting for a kid, would depend on how old they are. And requires a lot of screen time. You have to fight over locations on the map, it really motivates you to go to "just one more" location.
There is also an item in the game that produces items for you, but requires you to walk certain distances.

I've been loving it, feels good to be using it again. Lemmy isn't as active as I would love it to be (especially in the topics I'm interested in), but being able to scroll around using Sync has really motivated me to be active here. I hope that happens with more people.
I really wish I could submit posts using the app, and there are a couple of the features that feel like should be basic functions that require a subscription to use. Happy to support the developer, but I don't like subscription models and not sure if there's enough value here for me (yet) to justify a one-time $99 payment.
I'd also love it if the "no more posts loaded. Retry?" toast message would time out and fade away. It ends up blocking some of the info for the last post it loaded at the bottom of the screen, and it just doesn't leave!
Always stylus.
I made it earlier this year, thought I would share. Now my VB can safely travel with me!
Now... It's when I hear my wife stirring π΄π«£
Same - been waiting for the app release first!
I've been eyeing the collection on Switch! Just hard to justify when I have so many other ways to play those games already. My money is finite, unfortunately.
I do love the soundtracks though, and that also makes it tempting. I play a lot of theatrythm on both 3DS and Switch.
