GBA games - Where the hell are they?

Did drill dozer come out over here?

Is that the same as Screw Breaker?

If so, it never got a UK release. Shame, it's great!!

Yup same game, UK got shafted bigtime with some releases. Warioware twisted never got released over here either due to some lame ass excuse because the twisty sensor had mercury in it & EU rules ect....

Yeah I think it is. Hmm, time to risk a US copy...

[importaku]

Yeah you definately need twisted it's a really fun game. In fact all the wariowares are.

That story is true about the mercury switches. In fact there were a few copies sold in the Scandinavia region before it got pulled.

I'd like to chip in with the GBA love too

Same, it was the last handheld I played extensively (And I mean extensively). Who wouldn't want a SNES in their hand?

I still remember making Mrs. 45 wait to go out one Sunday afternoon while I waited for one of the insanely long Golden Sun cut scenes to finish.

I thought the mercury thing was just a rumour. Even wikipedia says it's just a rumour and it doesn't contain mercury.

Another big GBA fan. The Metriod's are both stunning games,and imo superior to the 'prime' series, plus Advance Wars, Wario Ware (never bought Twisted mind), the Mario titles, more 2D F-Zero, possibly the best Mario Kart, tons of RPGs and some damn good puzzlers.

The Famicom Classic boxes are nice, the Bit Generations boxes are similarly lovely too

I'm glad to say I never sold on any of my GBA stuff and my GBA collection stands proud at 64 titles, all genuine, and I reckon all complete, mostly mint, and most importantly, pretty much all good or better games!
