Rock My Socks! posted:I'm taking a 12 hour flight next Wednesday, what are some good cheap gameboy games to bring? I found my old GB pocket but don't have any games. And my 3ds lasts like 15 minutes between charges. I prefer lighter things such as puzzle games for my portable black and white systems. Flipull's not a bad pick there. There's a spin-off of Solomon's Key called Solomon's Club. The Real Ghostbusters is the fourth Crazy Castle game making it a decent puzzle platformer (it's a Mickey Mouse game in Japan and a Garfield game in Europe because the Crazy Castle series is crazy). And there's always the Game and Watch Galleries.

Wario Land, Donkey Kong and Super Mario Land 2 are essentials that are still surprisingly reasonable in price. Adventure Island II (Solid port of NES Adventure Island 3), Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters, and Mole Mania are personal favorites of mine. Honestly, at a glance most original Game Boy games seem to be pretty immune to the effects of the Retro Gaming bubble, with some notable exceptions like the Mega Man games and Kid Dracula.

Shadow Hog posted:I will say, though, as far as "3DO games that got superior ports to other consoles" goes, its copy of Need for Speed remains the only one with the X-Man. Whether his absence is part of what makes other versions superior, or his presence makes the 3DO version the one to get, I'll leave up to everyone else.  (sadly I only own the Japanese Over Drivin' version, which cut out the X-Man scenes)The Saturn and PS1 ports are all right, but they tried to turn the game into more of an arcade racer and changed the handling to fit that style (never played the PC ports, but they apparently did the same thing -- yes, ports, there were two). It's certainly not awful or anything, but NFS was originally designed as more of a driving game rather than a racing game, with a handling model that was as accurate a simulation as you could reasonably have on a console game in 1994. To me it basically feels like a more realistic version of OutRun, and I absolutely love that. Yes, the ports run much smoother (the original runs at about 15 fps at all times, but you can use an emulator to at least get to 30) and have more content, but the original 3DO release is easily my preferred version and my favorite game in the entire series.

Yeah, the second copy of Super Turbo I got came with one of those other six-buttons and it's hilarious/infuriating that Pause is where MP should be and the game has no control config (unlike the SNES SFII ports.) I got lucky and found a reasonable eBay auction for 2 Soldier pads however many years ago and got those. (Said second copy of Super Turbo also appears to be the French-Canadien release, based on the French manual with the original "X" main art for the game. IIRC there was some weird bug with the game music not playing/cutting off on the matchup screen or something.)

Zand posted:donkey kong 94 i'd also elect the final fantasy legend series, and ff adventure. and Link's Awakening if you never played it before. Assuming you have a black and white Game Boy, it doesn't make a difference if you get Link's Awakening vanilla or DX, although the DX will have extra NPC's chastising you for not having Nintendo's latest toy (the GB Color) and you won't be able to play through a bonus dungeon in it unless you play it on a GB Color. As far as actual gameplay (item location, mainline dungeon layout etc.) the games are identical. univbee fucked around with this message at 16:42 on May 5, 2017 |

Thanks for all the advise everyone; I went to a local shop during my lunch break at work and picked up Wario Land II, Heiankyo Alien and Tennis for about $25. Hopefully the battery save in WLII still works (though I'm hopeful as my much older copy of Link's Awakening still saves fine 25 years later). I played through Super Mario Land a few years ago...not sure how to feel about that one. It's not a bad game per se, but after playing 'real' Mario games for so many years the way that Mario handles just seems really off.

The first time I played Mario Land back when it came out, I beat it. It's way too simple, the levels are simultaneously long and boring while the game itself is too short, and the bounce ball just isn't an interesting power up. It's not my least favorite Mario platformer, but it's close. Random Stranger fucked around with this message at 19:01 on May 5, 2017 |

I am a day too late but Final Fantasy Legend 1 was made to be finished in 8 hours or so. And you can probably clear Dragon Quest 1 GB in like, 5. So those two back-to-back would be perfect for your situation. RPGs are the best portable games, IMO (as long as you can save anywhere). Also turn-based strategy.

Rock My Socks! posted:Is short battery life not normal? My N3DS is brand new (got it on black friday 2016). If all you're getting is 15 minutes that's definitely not normal, you should be getting something more in line with 4-5 hours. That said, the 3DS does drain when in sleep mode somewhat, so if it's "charging while resting, unplugging, and then days later I'm only getting 15 minutes" that's normal, turn your 3DS off completely when not in use.
