| You're selling your PS2 for a GBA SP... ...I find so many things wrong with that...but I won't even begin on it. If it was up to me, and I doubt I ever buy one, it'd probably be the NES edition. Emulation > You. (edited by Ranko on 07-12-04 06:59 PM) |

Why sell your PS2... It never did anything to you  But anyways, I would go for that retro GBA SP NES edition, It looks so nice and... retro  |

| I gotta go with the rest and say it's not worth it to get rid of your PS2 here. Unless you're playing Four Swords or Crystal Chronicles, a GBA SP can't do anything your computer and a controller adaptor can. Use the money for your father's birthday instead, if you must sell the PS2. | |||

Ranko, the PS2 is going to my sister, she's giving it to her Fiance, for his birthday, so it's really going to a good cause  And Grey, you can't fit a computer into your pocket  |

| That's what laptops are for. But the PS2's a good cause for sure. |

I'd do the NES version as well.  Retro gaming rules and people will likely notice it on the bus/subway/etc. At least the PS2's going to a good cause. I mean, the GBA is great and there's tons of great games, but... if you could have both... |

| GBA SP Famicom Edition! C'mon, the red and white theme is so irresistable!!! ... Or the NES Classic one is nice too. |

| I'm at the point of selling my PS2 unless some good games come out for it by Christmas. But I wouldn't buy a GBA SP in its place. But since that's what you're doing, get the NES edition. | |||

| I'll agree with most people here and say the NES edition; it's the one I'm looking at getting. Probably won't be able to get it before Christmas though.... |

Originally posted by LilmarioI prefer Zelda personally. Although the reason I'm wanting to get a GBA is the Final Fantasy games* that are supposed to be coming out for it. *: It was discussed in this thread. |

| Fina fantasy eh? I've only ever played X, but I might get these to hopefully start my Final fantasy fanboyism I really don't know why I didn't get any Final fantasy games, it's meant to be really good. EDIT: oh, and Zelda is my all time favourite series (edited by Lilmario on 07-14-04 09:48 AM) |

Originally posted by LilmarioI've yet to play anything past 6, but once I get my playstation (hopefully soon! ), I'll be doing some catch-up.The series as a whole is very good; although until X-2 all of the games were more-or-less "stand-alone"s (each of them has very little to do with any of the others, except for recurring themes such as moogles, chocobos, etc.). It's not my favorite, but it's a good one. |

| Get the NES edition. And if you're going to get one of the Classic NES games, get Zelda. The others aren't really worth it. SMBDX (Gameboy Color) is a more preferable port than Classic NES series SMB. | |||

| Classic game? Yeah, Zelda's ok, but it's really tough to beat River City Ransom EX. It's so funny! Not a long game at all, but very good for what you get, and it's got good replay value. If not that, then definitely Zelda, since you say it's your favorite. | |||

| I will have to agree with the others, NES style GBA is the way to go. That retro look is awesome. |
