GBA GAMES

The correct answer to this question is "Chrono Trigger".

I think that should go on DS at this point. Tose didn't exactly do a stellar job with the FF6 port in some key respects and CT was a more demanding game than that was. Also, Super Mario RPG.

I wonder if they could get those FMVs from the PS version compressed and shoved into the CT cart...

Oh, by the way, FF1 and FF2 are coming to the PSP intact in a 20th anniversary edition, or whatever. It'll basically be the PS1 and GBA versions combined. That said, I may regret getting ALL the GBA versions in the coming year or so if my hunch is accurate... They might even bring FF3 to the PSP with even better visuals. The thing is, as good as FF3 is, they screwed up with the touch screen support. It's token gesture at best and useless at worst. Technically, the menus can be browsed with the touch screen, but practically, they are still direction based menus. At no point did I find it easier to use the touch screen than to just use the direction pad. Really, full support would involve PC style menus where you drag and drop items ONTO your character's inventory slots and can interact with anything with a click. For example, in a battle, click on an enemy and then a radial menu appears with actions that character can perform to it, or click on an ally and select those actions. As it is, controller is still superior.

That said, a PSP version could go without the touch screen support and not be any worse off for it.

Oh, yeah back on topic. I love Chrono Trigger, a lot, and the PS version of that (as well as FF6 to a lesser extent, one of the good points of the GBA version) is those horrid load times. However, when given a choice between new game or old game ported to a system, I go with new game, so yeah, I'd still rather they bring Mother 3 and that unreleased GBA Fire Emblem to America.
