u/Pilcrow182 · 1 pointr/zelda

> I'm definitely gonna have to try that link cable emulation though.

I've used VBA Link before for some other games (though I didn't think to try Four Swords at the time), and I'm pretty sure No$GBA supports link cable emulation as well. You'll probably need to fuss around a bit to get them connected, but it should work. As for your girlfriend, Four Swords is one of the easiest Zeldas anyway, and if you're playing along with her I bet she'll have some fun... ;)

EDIT: Oh, and Retroid Netplay for Android supposedly works really well too, though I haven't tried it myself. On the other hand, playing GBA games with virtual buttons on a touch screen feels extremely weird to me... :P

> Let me know if you ever want to sell any of those GBAs though! I'd love to have another one again.

Sorry, but I'd rather keep 'em. One was my first ever original model GBA, and another was a gift from a friend (so those have sentimental value), and I'm never giving up my GBA SP AGS-101 model (nothing compares to that gorgeous backlit screen)... <3

You can still find the original model for fairly cheap on amazon, if you're interested (though an SP will be more expensive, especially an AGS-101).

u/Walker889 · 1 pointr/rpg_gamers

I don't think this meets all of your criteria, and finding a way to actually play it might be a bit of a pain - but Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for the Gamecube was one of my favorite co-op RPG games back in the day. It's got a beautiful, Gaelic atmosphere with lovely voice-over narration. The story is not intense, but it's there - it's more about building a world than it is about the plot, I think.

You can have up to four players, but there's not much in the way of consequences, it's not dark-fantasy (more high-fantasy, I think), no top down camera, and character advancement is relatively simple.

If you know about this game already, you probably know about how difficult it is to play. Each player needs a gameboy advance to use as a controller...I think an SP works too, but I'm not 100% sure. Then you'll need one of these for each player too: http://www.amazon.com/Link-Cable-Game-Boy-Advance-Gamecube/dp/B0000E5U6M

Similar to a DS, you keep track of some stats, a map, and other things on the GBA, using it as a second screen. You also get letters from your characters' family and other private events on the GBA screen. Otherwise it's just a controller - kind of gimmicky, but they did a few interesting things with it I guess.

Check out some youtube videos of gameplay if any of that catches your interest. The world is a lot of fun, and I think it has a unique style that is worth at least a glance.

u/OneGoodRib · 1 pointr/pokemon

That's why eBay is a better place to figure out how much something is worth, because you can tell if people are actively trying to pay that much money for it or not. I mean I've seen listings on eBay where people are offering mint holo 1st edition Charizards for like $1000000, so you might think the card is worth that much because someone's selling it for that much, but if nobody's actually buying it...

On a related note, someone on Amazon is selling Ruby for $300. The description on that listing is so wrong, though.

> Start out with just 3 Pokemon

-?

> Over 350 new Pokemon are here to battle with, collect and trade

?? Hoehn only added a little over 130 new pokemon, and you can't even obtain all 386 Pokemon with just Ruby (and Sapphire) alone!

> New battle system allows trainers to take two Pok mon into battle instead of just one at a time

Well, yeah, but this description makes it sound like you can do that all the time, rather than in just a few battles.

> As you play you'll open up fun and exciting mini-games that advance the storyline

I have no idea what this is referring to. The only "mini-games" are the Contests and the slot machines, and neither of those advance the story at all.

> You can then groom your Pokémon for regional contests and compete for ribbons like "Best of Show,"

??? It's like somebody's mom wrote this based on really early release notes that were translated by fans.

u/nintendomech · 2 pointsr/3DS

I have been playing Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 https://www.amazon.com/Super-Mario-World-Advance/dp/B00005UK88/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498516916&sr=8-1&keywords=super+mario+gba

Other games are Trama Center and Metroid Prime Hunters. The games are easier to play on my DS as they are stylus heavy and its way easier to hold the DS for longer periods of time. Also IMO best GBA player is the DS Lite.

u/llibertybell965 · 11 pointsr/Gameboy
  1. Soldering for the 101 mod is super simple, got it right on first try when it was my first time soldering.

  2. Repro screen in my unit works great, some people swear by the originals but I can't stomach the idea of ripping apart a perfectly good SP. Bought mine here. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L42ZIOQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_p0y-AbNPMV7S0

  3. Previous experience shouldn't be too much of an issue, GBA internals are very simple and this mod is a fairly good first project in my opinion.
u/sylviag4949 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I would love to get my son this hopefully for his bday or xmas. He really wants this but the prices are crazy so I might have to save a little longer to get him that! He's a teenager but he will always be my baby.I LOVE MY BABY!

Thanks for the contest..=)

u/JakeTheCake714 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Whiplash! is one of my favorite games, I played the demo back in 2004 and I never stopped thinking about it! it's a great game on the ps2!

Also, back in 2004 I played a lot of my friends Game Boy Advance and he had Mario and Luigi Superstar Sega! That game was so great! It brought back a lot of memories when I recently played it!

Dunno about locally, but you can get it from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Link-Cable-Game-Boy-Advance-Gamecube/dp/B0000E5U6M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348076137&sr=8-1&keywords=Game+boy+GameCube+cable

(Be sure to order the $8.88 one with fulfillment by Amazon!)

If you have Prime, you can get it on Friday for free, or tomorrow for $4. You can start a free Amazon Prime trial to get it on time.

u/MyOtherCarIsEpona · 19 pointsr/patientgamers

Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age for Gameboy Advance.

They're so good. Here's Golden Sun for $12 used on Amazon.

They're fantastic turn-based RPGs - the mechanics are a little different from Final Fantasy, but it's quick to pick up. Also it has a good amount of fun puzzles and a fantastic story.

u/Khrisiah · 3 pointsr/gamecollecting

Definitely a nice pickup, about 30+ dollars under normal retail prices ( the official GB Micro site has it listed at 99.99, Amazon at 116 ). I picked up an original GB Micro during their first run, definitely fun little devices !

u/H2OMedOK · 1 pointr/GameboyAdvance

Congrats on the new SP!
I couldn’t find a nintendo one from a quick search but I got this one off amazon and I’m happy with the quality so far. It came with a charger cable so it seemed like a decent price.

u/FlamingCrisis · 1 pointr/gaming

hahaha I agree actually. Its such a difference playing on my handheld over a tablet emulator or something like that. Doesn't capture the feel. I'm sure you could find it on amazon or ebay for cheap...
It's about $15 used.

http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Game-Boy-Advance-SP-DS/dp/B00005OARM

u/ComfortablyMumm · 1 pointr/Gameboy

I'd recommend the GPA SP. Try to get the backlit 101 model, but if the price is a limitation, the 001 frontlit model isn't too bad. As others have said, the SP will give you access to way more games, and having a lit screen is nearly a necessity for me nowadays. As for the form factor, you can always get a grip for it that helps improve the ergonomics.
Here's the one I have, and I really like it (you can probably get it cheaper on eBay): https://www.amazon.com/Gameboy-Advance-Handy-Dual-Grip-Easier/dp/B002R9OXS2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498231466&sr=8-1&keywords=gba+sp+grip

u/Kiraisuki · 2 pointsr/Gameboy

I don't have a 3D model of the battery cover, but I do know that this battery is reliable. I've got one and I get 7 hours of play on varying brightnesses and volumes with my EZ Flash IV in my AGS-101.

u/SonsOfLiberty86 · 2 pointsr/3DS

With all those RPG's and Mario games I'm amazed I don't see this game somewhere in there

It's amazing and I highly recommend it!

u/light_twin · 1 pointr/pokemon

I was going to say to try your luck at your local GameStop, but those are probably the first to go in the used section. If you wanna try online, Amazon should work. I'd suggest looking for sellers with a high reputation. Besides that, if it happens to be bootleg by chance, Amazon should have you covered so your money shouldn't go to waste. You'll just want to make sure you buy and check the game in advance (no pun intended).

u/ImKindaHighBut · 1 pointr/Gameboy

You could always go third-party, just make sure you check reviews to make sure whatever battery you get isn't going to blow up or just work like ass.

Always gotta rely on the peeps that purchased before you, lol. They're good people!

edit: This one on amazon seems to have quite the reputation!

u/siriuslyred · 19 pointsr/AskReddit

Have you got a Gameboy (or DS!)? Any Gameboy will do! You got it?? Good!! Now, depending on the generation of Gameboy in your hand, follow one of these links:

Original -> Pokemon Red / Pokemon Blue / Pokemon Yellow - Pikachu Edition

Gameboy Color -> Pokemon Silver / Pokemon Gold / Pokemon Crystal

Gameboy Advance -> Pokemon Ruby / Pokemon Sapphire / Pokemon Emerald

Nintendo DS -> Pokemon Diamond / Pokemon Pearl / Pokemon Platinum

Nintendo DS -> Pokemon Black / Pokemon White

... and sort your life out!

EDIT: As people rightly pointed out, no 3DS Pokemon yet, fixed it!

u/muskieratboi · 1 pointr/gaming

Prices (Specific games are imho the best experience..)

Fire Red (Personal Preference, I jsut like charizard lol) (Gen1): Bout $30 http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Fire-Version-Game-Boy-Advance/dp/B0006GBCZU

Soul Silver (HGSS has the content from Crystal, so they're both largely the same, I just like Lugia more than Ho-Oh lol) (Gen2):$30-$40 http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-SoulSilver-Version-Nintendo-DS/dp/B0038MTE7C

Emerald (Content added from Ruby/Sapphire) (Gen3): $35 http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Emerald-Version-Game-Boy-Advance/dp/B0007D4MVI

Platinum (Content Added From Diamond/Pearl) (Gen4): $25 http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Platinum-Nintendo-DS/dp/B001O1OBFY

Black and White are your personal preference, pick whichever you'd like.

u/Zirac88 · 1 pointr/Gameboy

Thanks for the help! Other than my 3DS, I've never heard any clicks coming from any of my systems, aside from the DS I mentioned in my post. So I just wanted to be sure!

Otherwise, do you have any recommended brands for a battery? From what I'm seeing on Amazon, some have mixed reviews, and others have generally positive reviews, such as this one. I don't seem to have the right size screwdriver to check the battery, and something like this comes with one, but I worry about getting a bad battery. From some reddit posts I found, users were saying DS batteries could also be used, but I don't want to damage the system at all somehow.

Thanks again for your help!

u/superboySR · 0 pointsr/pokemon

Ok I think I found you 2 legit cartridges judging by the comments on Amazon. They are both under $/£35 B-) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00028S9P8 - Leaf Green with free GBA adapter. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0006GBD04 - Leaf Green by itself. Hoped this helped :-D

u/combaticusgodofwar · 2 pointsr/gaming

Leaf Green retains value but Treasure Planet is certainly no Castlevania Double Pack. There are GBA and DS games that are worth $$$$ and going up but these are not them.

Kingdom Hearts and Phantom Hourglass might be worth something, I could see GameStop selling them for maybe $15 or $20 so they'd buy it for half-ish. Maybe he has a copy of The World Ends With You in the case?

But in any event a used, 'okay' condition Black DS Lite isn't worth more than ~$40 which is less than a good copy of Leaf Green. I call absolute BS on this, I wouldn't pay more than $75 for that pile of Lego games even with a DS thrown in.

u/RazorLeafAttack · 1 pointr/Gameboy

If this is really just a matter of handling the system, there are clip on grips that greatly improve the ergonomics for us big handed folk.

u/OldSchoolRPGs · 1 pointr/EDC

Man, I remember when my GB Micro was part of my EDC. I love that thing! ROM cart with MicroSD is the way to go. In this day and age it's hard to be satisfied with just carrying just 1 game.

I have a couple of the Anniversary Edition ones because they just look so sexy!

u/MegaPower124 · 1 pointr/gaming

I've got you covered. Unfortunately the games I assume you're talking about go for quite a pretty penny. Better hold out for a good flea market.

u/olivverr_ · 1 pointr/Gamecube

Yeah, I've heard third party GBA to GameCube cables don't generally work all that well. I think it has something to do with only transferring data one way?

If you go through the reviews, a lot of people who bought the cable on Amazon had the same problem: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/reviews/B00G2F1N80/ref=cm_cr_dp_mb_top?ie=UTF8

I'd recommend buying a used OEM one on eBay! It should cost about $15 or so.

u/Quazifuji · 3 pointsr/pokemon

Yep. Gamestop has a lot of sucky business practices, but I don't think this is one of them. They're selling the games for the price people will pay. You can get it cheaper on Amazon, but that would require buying it from random sellers you've probably never heard of.

Some games become dirt cheap when they get old, others become collector's items and don't. Not really surprising that an old Pokemon game is in the latter category, given both the popularity of the game and that there's still motivation to buy it (I don't think you're the only one trying to pick it up to help complete the Pokedex).

u/misogichan · 10 pointsr/pokemon

It's available from amazon for $210, and this auction is currently at $150. Quite nice, but I was kind of expecting it to be more from all the enthusiastic comments.

u/SuperAwesomeBrian · 3 pointsr/pokemon

I would just like to point out that a brand new plastic sealed Pokemon Yellow is worth $400. Ebay that, buy a used one, replace battery, and good to go.

I want to collect the old Pokemon games and, especially Pokemon Yellow since it was my first Pokemon game here

This is an awesome contest! and Get a real life, NERD!!!

u/Urko948 · 2 pointsr/Gameboy

I doubt it. It's probably just the connectors getting old. If you have experience fixing wires and stuff you could get the parts I'm sure and that might help. Or maybe some dust got up in there. Try getting some canned air maybe and blowing it out some.

I changed the battery in my micro and it still does the same thing. It even randomly flashes red sometimes even when I know the battery is fine.

At the end of the day, Nintendo is going to try to profit as much as possible, and when you realize that games like Pokémon Yellow are still selling for $23 used, without a working save function, the price suddenly doesn't seem so bad. Hell, even the Pokémon TCG video game is selling for $9 used at minimum, and that's if you ignore the cost of shipping and handling. You want that sucker new? I hope you've got nearly $300 to throw around.

The game may be old, but that doesn't mean it's suddenly in the public domain. If people want to pirate, let 'em, but they really shouldn't be bitching about Nintendo making it worth their time to port it, even without the fact that they're charging a lot less than they could be.

Thanks! Little Sound Assembly was a blast!

> How do you get audio out of a GBA SP?

You just need a GBA SP headphone adapter. Plugs into the link port. I use this one

u/OrangeAdventure · 2 pointsr/pokemon

Several hundred was exaggerating a bit, but they're definitely not cheap .

Gen I though...

u/neverdeadned22 · 3 pointsr/RetroPie

Amazon has Gameboy shells and there's a few tutorials available just takes a bit of work to get everything set

Edit: do you know what Pi you have? If you go to the retropie setup in the menu you should hopefully connect to wifi

I'm sure it'll be there too whichever Amazon is local to you.

u/Frazzed · 1 pointr/gameswap

It looks like it's going for $25 on Amazon. So, 2000?

u/babysalesman · 9 pointsr/gaming

Pretty expensive but yeah you can still get them online. They're way cheaper on Ebay.

u/iSnuggelz · 1 pointr/Pokemonexchange

Since people are selling them on Amazon for $40 shipped: Link

How does $30 shipped sound?

Sorry, I'm not looking for bootlegged games. My friend lost all of his rare pokemon on a cart he thought was legit.

u/FakePseudonym · 1 pointr/nuzlocke

Unfortunately, it is impossible to trade between DS's. However, you can buy some used Gameboys (around $20) and a link cable (around $5) on Amazon. Hope this helps.

Yup, that's what I be saying. Yeh I can ship to that address. Is two OK? I gotta tell you though, I'm trying to find the legit "nintendo" brand ones, but its a little difficult to know for sure until you get the product. Do you think this one is legit?

u/Dracius · 1 pointr/funny

I have a Gameboy Micro 25th Anniversary Edition I would be willing to trade. They are worth about $45 dollars.

Are those the only games you have to trade? I'm from the USA.

u/Spirit0fTheHero · 1 pointr/Gameboy

Really hard? There's plenty of places to buy the actual official game cart of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Amazon's second and third party sellers are selling them for extremely affordable prices. Give them a look and stay as FAR AWAY from eBay as possible. There's a lot of sellers on eBay selling fakes like the one you have.

u/jpers36 · 1 pointr/Flipping

Are these acceptable Amazon listings? Seems really sketchy to list on the same product page as the game and compete with those prices but sell booklet only.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/Gamecube

I personally use an SP, and the cable you need (like this one) terminates in a standard GCN controller port, so it should work just fine in a Wii.

u/cnostrand · 10 pointsr/pokemon

If Amazon listings are to be believed, new in box is listed at $164.

I'm not much of a gamer so I don't know if there is anything else you'd trade for or just buy. I also have Super Mario World 2 and Wario Land 4 for GBA, cartridges only.

Ugh! I wish I still had my gameboy. I guess this is somewhat relevant, but alas it is over the price range.

Used Amazon Listing


I have bought a lot of used stuff on a Amazon and no fake carts have even been shipped

u/Kocrachon · 4 pointsr/GameDeals

> ing AS/OR

AS/OR are still in production, so yeah, easy.

I recently did a calculation of all of the main series pokemon games if I bought them used on Amazon, the total was nearly 1000 dollars.

Even look at Pokemon Plat
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001O1OBFY/

70 dollars for a used crappy copy.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000047GEI/

50 bucks for a decent used copy of yellow.

Pokemon is not cheap.

u/Bowmance · 2 pointsr/gaming

If you think that's stupid, look at the price of pokemon games, There's 10+ year old GBA games that go for £30 and higher. Nintendo just simply doesn't have price decay on their core games.

Amazon is tough because you need to see a photo and most sellers won't post one. For fire red there's one for $46 that shows pics of the board and emerald has one for $58

eBay is way cheaper, here's some legit looking ones. Label should be holo for fire red, the correct color shade for emerald, E symbol the correct size, and the cart for both should be a solid color.
