Might buy a GBA but not sure yet. What descent RPG's/Strategy games does it have?

 Ratamahatta Mar 12, 2002
Breath of Fire, Advane Wars (strategy RPG), Tactics Ogre, Megaman Battle Network, Castlevania COTM, Dragon Quest, Golden Sun, and the list just keeps going and going, the system is definetly worth picking up.

 IceDigger Mar 13, 2002
Tactics Ogre, is that like Ogre Battle?

 eatpenguin Mar 15, 2002
it;s more like final fantasy tactics

 calganagain Mar 15, 2002
COTM is adventure but who is to say where the adventure genre ends and the action rpg genre begins.

 eatpenguin Mar 16, 2002
altho i wouldnt say it;s an rpg...

I just got a GBA finally and Golden Sun RPG.

So far I am impressed with it. Lots of dialogue add to a good story

Umm, well that's nice to hear. As long as you don't become mad like others and disown every other rpg obviously better than it.

IMO, it is fair for a rpg on a handheld, but I expect much better or my gba will be in the local EB's bargain bin.

i think golden sun is very nicely done. for the first true rpg on the system, at least. it shows that gba has a lot of potential.

 calganagain Mar 21, 2002
It sounds like Konami is repeating what they did with the gameboy for the gba based on the White Night Concerto(aka Harmony of Dissonance) tidbits I have read. I prefer the first title.

what are they doing?

 mattybones Mar 24, 2002
Well Ratamahatta told all of the good ones out so far

i prefer castlevania:circle of the moon and golden sun(finally beat )

calganagain i believe castlevania is a rpg or a action rpg because ya level up and ya equip and every thing just because you are at battle all the time dose not mean its not a rpg

			what are they doing?

Play the castlevania games for the gameboy and note how they are quite alike. I felt I was playing the same game for each one. I bet they will continue to use the COTM style in at least a third gba title.

Do the japanese consider it a rpg?

Actually, don't. The Bomberman part is as good as usual but the RPG part is truly atrocious.. Bland beyond belief.

Although I've yet to play it, my girlfriend really enjoyed it.

Three cheers for Karny's girlfriend.
Hip Hip Hooray!
