Hey again

Welcome to another of my final blogs, where I will post more gaming Top Lists. As stated in part 1, I've decided to do a simple version of each list since I don't have time to make the bigger blogs anymore.

Here's a link to the previous blog, which has links to the first four lists, and two new ones (Top 30 Wii and Top 10 WiiWare)

Today I am writing two more: Top 20 GameBoy/Color/Advance Games and Top 20 Nintendo DS Games. And unlike the Wii games, these are not so fresh in my memory so my comments may be inaccurate but the lists are done since some time ago and very well-thought.

---

My Top 20 GameBoy/Color/Advance Games:

#20. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Reason: Although I wouldn't have played it if it wasn't for the ambassador program, I can't help but to like the story and characters, and the easy gameplay at least in the first chapters.

#19. Yoshi Topsy-Turvy
Reason: One of few games that used the tilt function, and did it very well. Good graphics and sound also stand out.

#18. Pokemon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire
Reason: Fun pinball game with lots of Pokemon elements.

#17. Metroid: Zero Mission
Reason: Excellent presentation, exciting adventure.

#16. F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
Reason: Not the best F-Zero, but it gets the job done.

#15. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Reason: I only played part of it and found it extraordinary. Seriously, it has potential to be my favorite Zelda game.

#14. Mario vs. Donkey Kong
Reason: Mario, DK, great design, clever puzzles, epic music and sound effects.

#13. Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel
Reason: Pure Yu-Gi-Oh fun, mostly a well designed and addictive game.

#12. Mario Tennis (GBC)
Reason: Sort of a sports RPG game with hours of fun, likeable characters and deep gameplay.

#11. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Reason: Easy, but brilliant title featuring everything that makes Kirby so amazing.

#10. Wario Land 4
Reason: Extremely fun, funny and smashing game =)

#09. Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Reason: It's Mario Kart, it has several cups to master and always offers a challenge in higher difficulties. Perhaps it lacks a bit in the control.

#08. F-Zero: GP Legend
Reason: Fine story mode, cool characters and the intense races this series is known for. Everything works perfectly to make it my favorite FZ title.
Note: I was wrong in the SNES list, the case where F-Zero beats Mario Kart is not so rare:P

#07. Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald
Reason: Good story, improved graphics, new Pokemon and new features that make it hard to stop playing.

#06. WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!
Reason: Tons of content, with the most basic mechanics and a touch of humor in each of the awesome characters and games, plus some incredible endless and multiplayer games.

#05. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
Reason: First Mario RPG on a handheld, superb story and gameplay overall, keeps you busy for a while.

#04. Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Reason: A portable Yoshi's Island plus the original Mario Bros. and some extras, lots of adorable Yoshis and many well-designed levels.

#03. Metroid Fusion
Reason: It's a masterpiece. From the memorable story, stages and boss fights, to what I think is the best Samus design ever.

#02. Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal
Reason: Deep role-playing experience, lots of creatures to level up, enemies to defeat and areas to explore, I could go on, but the most important thing is that they're incredibly fun.

#01. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow
Reason: See above. And add originality, epic music, most of the best Pokemon and gym leaders, all for the first time in the Game Boy :cool:.

NOTE: As a last minute decision, I put together the 3 Pokemon games of each generation because they aren't much different after all and were taking too much space in the top ten, but my favorite versions are Yellow, Crystal and Ruby.

Reason: Enjoyable racing game with online, story mode and good controls.

#20. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Reason: It's pretty awesome, introduces some new ideas to the series. I found it a bit hard for some reason.

#17. Yoshi Touch & Go
Reason: Yoshi, touch screen, mic, magnificent playablity and more Yoshi :D.

#16. FIFA Soccer 09

#15. Star Fox Command
Reason: Most likely my favorite Star Fox game, great story and gameplay, and pretty good multiplayer.

#14. Metroid Prime: Hunters
Reason: Not my favorite genre (cause I suck at it) and still manages to be in my favorites, it has clear visuals, badass bosses and online multiplayer.

#13. Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis
Reason: More and better puzzles, colorful artwork, lots of replay value with level creator and wi-fi connection.

#12. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Reason: There's nothing like Ace Attorney in terms of story, investigation and overused quotes:P I just had to put it here, and am totally getting the sequels when they come to ipad xD.

#11. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
Reason: Surprisingly one of the best RPGs I've played, easy but exciting combat, long story with many twists, great dungeons.

#10. Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
Reason: Beautiful locations, cool characters, good use of 2 screens, (a little) easier than other Ninja Gaidens and exceptionally fun.

#09. Yoshi's Island DS
Reason: More Yoshis, more babies =/ and new levels with bosses that are all a blast to play.

#08. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Reason: Another very enjoyable Zelda title. Most of you know I'm not a fan of the series' characters, but I liked them in this game, as well as the story, dungeons, items and much more.

#07. WarioWare D.I.Y.
Reason: Endless gameplay possibilities. Besides that, I've said too much about the series already.

#06. Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2007
Reason: Guilty pleasure that I forgot in my list 4 years ago. But it's really full of quality, a myriad of things to do and perfect online implementation.

#05. Super Mario 64 DS
Reason: It's the original N64 game with 4 characters and enough new features to make it stand out.

#04. New Super Mario Bros.
Reason: Almost a perfect update of the originals, featuring fantastic worlds and increasing difficulty, and some worthy extra content.

#03. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Reason: After all the Mario and Nintendo games comes this masterpiece, with addicting police chases, wonderful story and side missions, a fitting art styIe, fascinating sound and intuitive controls.

#02. Mario Kart DS
Reason: First Mario Kart with online play, varied karts and racers, mission mode, courses that show off the DS visuals and all the gameplay elements we know and love.

#01. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Reason: An unforgettable lengthy story, creative and unique RPG styIe, impressive battle system, charming characters, some replay value and perfect difficulty, among other things, make for one of my favorite games of all time.
