The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Game Boy Advance is one of the greatest handheld game s🧔ystems of all time, no doubt about it. It had a cool design, a nice size, and a decent battery life. But most importantly, it supported a whole new generation of games. Some of the titles released for it are still impressive today, and some of the more experimental ones led to some amazing thing♕s.

Among them was the transformation of the RPG gen♑re, which were able to have a massive scale with improved graphics on a machine that fit neatly in your pocket. Here are some of the best games it brought to the global gaming table.

8 Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga 🍸

After Super Mario ꦇRPG transformed the idea of what a Mario game could be forever, we got the Paper Mario series, followed by the Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. This was the first time we got to control the two bros as a turn-based team. Not only did we get to see the Mario universe in a whole new light, but we also got to see the traditionally slow-paced turn-based system become much more interactive.

By using well-executed inputs, the bros could deal extra damage with their regular and special attacks. On the defense, they're not gonna sit there and take it. You can use inputs to block, dodge, or counter𓆉attack all sorts of attacks, making battles that much more enjoyable and immersive. Thank Bowser that 💦the series is still going.

7 ⛎ Golden Sun

JRPGs have been around since the early days of gaming, and some don't get the same amount of stage time as others, with Golden Sun being one of them. This is a crime since it's an awesome game. It🗹's pretty straightforward for a JRPG story: there's a world governed by the four natural elements of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water, with people and creatures that can control them called Adepts.

You control a team of warriors who go on ꦬa quest to light four elemental lighthouses, using the powers to further their journey. You get to wield flashy and impactful powers to decimate all sorts of enemies in battle, then flip the script and use them in the overworld to navigate dungeons and solve puzzles. Here's hoping the series will be revived someday.

6 ﷽ Pokem🍬on: Emerald Version

For many young Pokemon players, Gen three was the moment you got a huge boost or decided to take a break… and that's when Pokemon: Emerald Version showed up. This quickly became the definitive version of this generation for obvious reasons. A dinosaur and a whale are beefing over which is toughest and messing up the world when, all of a sudd♐en, a large green noodle descends from the heavens and tells them to knock it off.

You jump into the usual 🐻trainer's shoes to win all the badges, beat the Elite Four, defeat two criminal organizations, and capture several legendaries so that you can shape the🐲 world to your whims. I mean, becoming the Pokemon Champion is pretty cool too.

5 😼 Final Fantasy Tactics Advance ﷽

Final Fantasy saved a company and established what it means to be a rich and challenging turn-based game. However, the series wasn't gonna stand by for just one kind of 🗹turn-based system and came out with Final Fantasy Tactics, which led to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. This time, the battles weren't one-sided, since you had a whole grid to work with.

Your party members from well-established classes and character types can be arranged around the field to make the most of their aꦜbilities and mobility. It was a whole new way to play Fin🤪al Fantasy and it works. It looks good, it's challenging, and it's a darn good time.

4 Advance Wars 💙

One of the weirdest things about anime and manga is how they can take something truly serious and destructive, and use it as the backdrop for a story about plucky teen𝓰agers. Thus, we have Advance Wars. The world is at war due to the jerky efforts of the Black Hole 🌼Army, and only the Orange Star CO is standing in their way.

Rather than having grizzled veterans leading the forces, you've got the young man An🍎dy and his childhood buddies h🌺aving a grand old time. It's a turn-based strategy game set across large grid maps where you're controlling squads of units and vehicles over various terrains. It's not just about having the biggest numbers or the strongest units, it's about coming up with the best plans of attack.

3 ඣ The Legend Of Zelda: Minish Cap

After a successful career on the Game Boy, The Legend Of Zelda hit an interesting stride on the Game Boy Advance. The biggest step in this stride was The Legend Of Zelda: Minish Cap. Even though these types of games are no stranger to🌄 magical concepts and overall weirdness, this game caught many of us off-guard… But in a good way. We saw the return of Toon Link in a portable environment.

He wasn't fighting Ganon or one of his minions, but a new villain named Vaati, who is a young wizard with a lust for power who starts things off by turning Zelda to stone. But Link's not alone since he has his magic cap, a grumpy talking bird named Enzo — a truly amusing companion. It also introduces the mechanic of shrinking down to experience 𒉰the world and dungeons in an entirely new way.

2 Fire Emblem: The Blazing Bladeꦡ

Despite not having the same global recognition as other JRPGs, Fire Emblem has been around 🔯since the NES and continues to grow. However, there was a special event when Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade was released. This was the first entry in the series that was written and designed toꩵ be released in Western markets, and the community fell in love with it.

Not only did it combine the fantasy and epic scale of RPG stories with the tactical thinking of turn-based strategies. On top of that, i𓄧t had some memorable and detailed character and monster designs while also throwing in the very real risk that if a unit dies… They're gone for good.

1 Sonic Battle 🔥

Sonic The Hedgehog and RPG have a… difficult relationship, and all you have to do is look at Dark Chronicles to see why. Even so, there was one title that seemed to scoot by with little attention des🦩pite being quite amazing. Sonic Battle combined free-roaming versus combat with RPG elements and story. Sonic and the gang find a strange robot that they name Emerl that can become a better fighter through "monkey see, monkey do."

This sets up a scenario where the most notable Sonic characters fight in Dragon Ball Z-style matches,🌊 their 2D sprites working well in 3D environments. Each character is dis🌃tinct in their movements, combat styles, and special techniques. It feels good to land a powerful hit on an opponent, sending them flying into a wall where they bounce up into the air, only for you to leap to the top of that arc and slam them hard into the ground.
