This is the actual resolution of the GBA. How did we live like this?

I don't know. Also, the screen wasn't backlit in the original GBA. I remember having a bunch of weird gadgets for it like battery extenders and wirey light things to light up the screen.

That's why most early GBA games have that fucked up collor palette.

Favorite GBA game?

Mine is honestly Megaman Battle Network 4: Blue Moon. I was able to buy it in 9th grade because of winning a $50 Best Buy gift card. There was a radio station outside of Farmer Jack that was doing a promo. People would stnad inside a machine with a vacuum blowing fake bills inside. One would be a gift card; stepping in I asked a demon to guide my hand to the winning bill. I closed my hand and reached out; it was the winner. From then on, the game was bought. All was well until I realized that the price was paid. Now the demon I asked for Megaman Battle Network 4: Blue Moon is getting its required payment: acquisition of my future, which affects the future of many.

>Mine is honestly Megaman Battle Network 4: Blue Moon.

then you never played MBN3 and I feel sorry for you

>>385678295

Hm, that's a hard one. It's probably the console I've played the most in my life, I've probably played all western released GBA games at least once, through emulators. Obviously not all to completion.

The Battle Network series is pretty good indeed, I remember being blown away by the gameplay and art style back when I was younger.

I really enjoy Minish Cap, Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission. Those three probably share the title of favorite for me. But then again, there's also the Fire Emblem and Advance Wars titles, Mario & Luigi, Aria of Sorrow, FFTA, WarioWare, Mario Kart, Pokemon Emerald, it's just impossible to pick a single favorite.

I have played all the EXE games and watched all the anime. Admittedly, it is nostalgia. other wises it is EXE2 because it is about breaking the game. Othewise 3 really is the one with least amount of problems. However 3 has the shrink program, which was really detrimental in an otherwise great game. Hell, the introduction of NaviCust was a boon and a blessing.

Megaman Zero series, BattleNetwork series, Minish Cap, Metroid Zero Mission and Fusion just to name a few off the top of my head.

Minish Cap's sprites and tiles (for the most part) look like they're larger than 16x16. 16x16 graphics would be perfectly fine with that resolution. Besides, not all screens in Minish Cap are as cramped as that room. Many screens are so large that they scroll.

>>385680703
Those games were such bullshit too. Win or fail is decided by arbitrary timing that you really have no way of knowing, because there aren't any visual queues to base off of.

>>385681086
yes, I mean, there's no other way to run Wii games at higher resolutions than 480i/480p, right?

>>385681020
Yeah, by default most things upscaled with bilinear, so native resolution is a 240p image being rendered then dolphin upscaling it to whatever you monitor/window resolution is by using bilinear. The game itself doesn't have any filtering going on, so when you render it at a higher resolution, the sprites are being scaled with nearest neighbor.

Huh? I honestly don't know why people have such fondness for the GBA library.
GBC and NDS both had much better libraries.

GBA had the shitties Pokemon games, the shitties Mario games, the shittiest Mario Kart and for the most part was the console where Nintendo just dumped their old SNES titles on.

What were the actually great GBA games that stood the test of time? Minish Cap, Metroid Fusion, Mario & Luigi, Golden Sun, FFTA.... maybe Mario vs Donkey Kong and Wario Land too.

But that's not a very impressive list in comparison.

the amount of work and engineering put into Dolphin is fucking ridiculous, I risk saying that at this point it might be the best option if you wanna emulate some N64 games (emulating their respective Wii Shop versions)

just recently they posted this:
https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2017/07/30/ubershaders/
to sum it up, (and if I got it right) they make a pretend-rendering of the game while the game is running to buffer shaders because the Gamecube (and the Wii too since it's almost the same) GPU can't buffer shaders

these guys are fucking nuts, and I thank them for it, I love how GC/Wii games look in 1080+

Because you can display information simultaneously during gameplay. It makes traversing games with a map much better because there is less downtime opening start menus. It allows for instant inventory switching as well. I'm not sure how something like a second screen wouldnt be able to make games better.

That's literally the least believable part of your post. Which is saying something.

I bought a backlight modded GBA today but fuck is it in rough shape. THe screen is in mint but it looks like it's been in two world wars otherwise. :( I guess I was expecting too much out of an almost 20 year old device..

Obviously the guy on ebay was buying shitty gbas and then upgrading them with an AGS-101 screen. But for 100 dollars I'd expect more.


ALthough if I modded it myself it would cost over 100. So I guess I shouldn't complain.

Honestly there's a fuckton of memorable GBA games, from dozens of different genres. DS was a bit too limited in what it had to offer.

It's the worst Metroidvania of the series. I liked it at first, but quickly tired of it.

They won't need a GC emulator since they still have all the code and assets from their Gamecube days. Hence all the WiiU HD remasters that don't touch the Wii mode/hardware on the system at all.

I guess it would be nice for third parties that want to put up their GC games. But what decent third party GC games are there? Resident Evil 4? It's been ported to every system under the sun, and capcom would just remaster it again and sell it for full price.

When I played that game I just passed it off as shitty average game, but there was a point in my life where I actually had a 'stuck with only three game with no internet' scenario, and that was one of the game. This game is oddly better on multiple playthroughs.

Don't filter low-res consoles. Just grow up and enjoy it for what it is.

My eternal nigger. Riviera also got me to play Yggdra Union which is one of my top 10 games.

Will be looked back on as a true classic.

Criminally underrated.

It came with my nintendo DS, the only game I had for a couple weeks, along with the Metroid Prime Hunter: First Hunt demo, which honestly got played ten times rome than the Urbz, kek. Still, I played it for a couple dozen hours, got all the minigames. All those hours spent cleaning glass windows...

We suffered through the 3DS as well. Nintendo finally has a decent handheld now. Fuck all the fanboys who claims graphics don't matter but are loving the Switch for it's graphics.

They knew they were working with a console with no power behind it, so they focused on pouring love and labor into the sprites and working within its limits. Look what happened when they didn't have to do that come the DS. Butt ugly 3d garbage.

>>385689416
i think you can be fine with the old graphics and still be impressed by the difference in quality with the switch

Get a new 3dsxl it's at least a little better.

I do have one, even with an IPS panel. That screenshot is just representative of the native resolution before the N3DS and all XL models scale up the pixels.

>>385689416
Graphics don't matter but art style does. You can make good looking games on the Game Boy, and shitty looking games on modern hardware at 1080p.

>>385687423
literally the GOAT GBA game

>>385678295
Mother 3. Glad I had a flash cart because that game didn't emulate well in 2008.

>>385677202
Because back then we were just happy to get stuff and we weren't as up our own asses about resolution yet.

I remember playing this on a whim, I had just learned how to emulate games on my psp and was looking for gba games to play. I started it up not sure what to expect, and holy fuck was I blown away. My second favorite gba game and even in my top ten games, this is what I consider the gold standard that all licensed titles should try to achieve.

Sometimes /v/ is worth coming to.

Huge gbafag here, posting some unknown great games on it.

Firstly is Ninja Five-O, or Ninja Cop in Europe. Made by Konami this is a fantastic action platformer, think of it almost as bionic commando meets strider 1. Your character has two forms of attacks, a projectile that you can level up and your sword. More interesting is you have a grappling hook, the physics of this thing is pretty insane and takes getting used to. This game is balls to walls hard, even on the easiest setting expect a decent challenge. Sadly copies are expensive but that's what emulation is for.

this game was pretty good

Scurge: Hive

A great metroid inspired game. The game is less about exploration and puts a greater focus on combat as rooms are often filled with multiple enemies. There are light rpg elements as enemies leave behind a goo that you absorb and acts as experience. Not only this but your character is infected with a virus that is slowly killing her. At the top a meter will slowly build up, when it reaches 100% she will begin to take damage. The game is about managing your virus while also traversing levels and solving puzzles to advance.

I enjoyed this and Dragon Ball Adventure, which was sort of like Astro Boy Omega Factor, just not as good.

If only the GBA had one more GOAT licensed game, then there would be a holy trinity.

Wade Hixton's Counter Punch

This game is a great tribute to Punchout. The game plays exactly like Punchout, even keeping the wacky opponents like a pimp and a rave girl who will turn off the lights. The game has a really cool early 2000's cartoon artstyle that looks great and the fighters are animated quite well.

>>385691476
I recall the other GBA dragon ball games being pretty fun beat em ups. Were they or am I just nostalgic.

Just pulled out my GB Micro out of retirement after all the Castlevania threads recently, are there any flashcarts still floating around or should I just get a GP XD, those Chinese aftermarket emulator handhelds.

>>385686694
Not him but I'm playing 3 right now and it is garbage compared to 4.

Rebelstar: Tactical Command

While you may immediately think this is shovelware from that boxart you would be surprised to know that this game was made by the creator of the XCOM games. This is a great strategy rpg with a great anime artstyle. Be aware the game is simpler then XCOM in terms of mechanics but still great fun.

What's really unacceptable is Nintendo still produces handhelds with 240p sceen in fucking 2017.
