So you enjoyed being ripped off paying full price for NES ports? That aside, interesting list (although noticed Zero 4 didn't make it or any other GBA MM game.) I liked Metal Slug Advance. although I prefer NG and NGP MS games more. Actually, that list is smaller than I was expecting when i first looked at it. Hmmm. Is Harmony and Circle of Moon any good? Don't own those, but I di have Aria, not the biggest fan of it. Oh and yes, the Zero series is hard. But for all the wrong reasons. Or at least I believe so.My Favorite GBA Games:
Castlevania: Classic NES SeriesCastlevania: Aria of SorrowCastlevania: Circle of the MoonCastlevania: Harmony of DissonanceContra Advance: The Alien WarsDonkey Kong Country 1 & 2Doom 1 & 2Final Fight OneThe Legend of Zelda: Classic NES SeriesThe Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: Four Swords EditionThe Legend of Zelda: Minish CapMega Man Zero 1-3 (But DANG, are they hard!)Metal Slug AdvanceMetroid: FusionMetroid: Zero MissionPinball of the DeadSonic Advance 1-3Spider-Man: Mysterio's MenaceSuper Mario Advance 1, 2, & 4 (I never was a fan of Yoshi's Island, sorry)Super Mario Bros.: Classic NES SeriesTony Hawk seriesWolfenstein 3-DZelda II: The Adventure of Link: Classic NES SeriesMy Favorite NDS Games:
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (I can't solve the slide puzzles in Dawn of Sorrow :( )Contra 4The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Spirits Tracks SUCKED!)Metal Slug 7Metroid Prime: HuntersMetroid Prime: PinballNew Super Mario Bros.Ninja Gaiden: Dragon SwordResident Evil: Deadly SilenceSonic Rush (I haven't played Colors yet, and even though Rush is good, I still think the Advance series is better)Super Scribblenauts (I still haven't played the original Scribblenauts, yet)So GBA wins it by a wide margin, for me. It has a much larger library of personal favorite games of mine. Some fantastic portable ports of my some of my favorites cIassics, as well.

It's not the greatest deal, but it'll make em $$$ and thats ultimately what this is all about, no?
Ummm none of us work for Microsoft so no?
I work for them. Part time.I have no idea how you claim to that conclusion but ok.Containmomentum, I can see you really prefer the Genesis!! :)
Liking the Nintendo franchises, I thought the SNES was the best of that gen. Super Metroid alone was enough (for me) to not need anything else. Add Act-Raiser, F-Zero, Final Fantasy 3 (6), Axelay, and a superior Street Fighter 2, and I felt the SNES was head and shoulders above the rest.
I did enjoy the Genesis. Especially the schmups like Gaiares and MUSHA. But it was always a secondary console for me (and I am a HUGE Sega fan).
The TG-16 for me was in its own league. I loved the physical card games - I felt it was so hi-tech at the time! R-Type is one of my all time favorite games and that version was the best. I also really liked how many games had Asian themed graphics and music.
But, yea, for me, the SNES was the best by a wide margin.

[QUOTE="AlphaJC"]please any helpContainmomentumGeppy x My bad, getting my PSX and gen shooters mixed up again, Ranger X is the game you are looking for.
meh , Ive seen a SNES advert where Nintendo promises "advanced 3D graphics" (and this is an early ad, there was no SuperFX), so both can be accused of alot of lying. and yes, the 2600 was designed to do pong variants for the most part, at least according to the original vision of the designers (thats according to Howard Scott Warshaw , the guy behined Yar's Revenge, Indiana Jones and ET on the 2600)[QUOTE="Darkman2007"][QUOTE="nameless12345"]
I don't think anyone was really bragging about the NES tbh. Consoles like Master System, Turbografx and Mega Drive were all advertising techical superiority over the NES. It was just a repacked Famicom and they didn't even fix sprite flicker and slowdown issues.
And don't forget PS1 and Genesis with their "1 million polygons" and "blast-processing". I'd also rather pick the 5200 instead of 2600. 2600 was fine for a late 70s console imo. It just wasn't designed for straight arcade ports.

Maybe they were referring to Mode 7 which was semi-3D.
Advertising is always exaggerated.
Mode 7 isn't even Semi-3d. i compare it to those old portable hand and games that slapped a car sticker in the middle of the screen and you just moved the track and not the actual car.
