Dark Jaguar Wrote:I like Megaman 5 (didn't play the first 4, but the 5th is easily one of the best games in the series), Donkey Kong Land (not just a remake of DKC like the other two "land" titles would be, it really was a unique title, and a fun one at that, basically Donkey Kong trying to prove his games can be just as fun on a less powerful system to the original Donkey Kong, Cranky), Zelda: LA (I think I like this better than LTTP), Metroid 2, Wario Land, the almighty first portable version of TETRIS (best... packin... ever), Pokémon (this was an age before the series evolved into the old game plus a few creatures, attacks, and a different setting), Final Fantasy Adventure (yes, the later games in the series are better, by far, but they didn't exist yet when this was released, and it was still a VERY fun game in it's own right, so such a comparison is pointless), Donkey Kong (not just the old arcade game, a 100 level amazement of puzzly proportions, Mario vs Donkey Kong is the sequel, it was good stuff), and oh yes, the first Kirby game (again, later games were better, but this was the first and still a great game on it's own so such a comparison is unfair). Those are just the games I've actually played mind you.
I enjoyed the two Mario Land games (the ones that actually had Mario) well enough I suppose...
Anyway, I must say that the original Gameboy had an AWESOME assortment of great games. Sure, the utter karp outweighs it heavily, but that can be said about EVERY system ever made.
So like a dozen or so good games in a system's lifetime of a decade is considered an "AWESOME assortment of great games"? The original Gameboy had a pitiful lineup compared to every other Nintendo system save the Virtual Boy.
