I like real-time RPGs. Right now I'm thinking of getting DBZ: Buu's Fury, Mario & Luigi, and possibly something else.

Definitely get Mario & Luigi, it's awesome. If you like strategy games, you'd probably like either Fire Emblem or the Advance Wars games, or Final Fantasy Tactics Advance...

Everyone's always pushing me for Fire Emblem. Played Advance Wars once and it was ok. Not something I'd spend a lot of time on... >.>. I dont want to get FFTA since I have FFT for PSone and didnt like it.

Haven't gotten much farther in FFTA than the first battle (where the guy gets a RED CARD (!) for using a potion afterwards) but the fanboyism is really burning me out.

Yeah. I'm not a FF fanboy. I'm a 16-Bit game fanboy! ^^ They should make FF5 for GBA

I only scratched the surface of FFTA but the yellow/red card system is tremendous.

Yeah, that line's in the prologue. The translation isn't bad but... if that was in the Japanese version...

Why not wait to get a DS in 6 weeks?

Because they're probably going to be overpriced and they might need REAL batteries. I'll wait for them to make some kinda upgraded version of the DS, wait for it to go down it price, then buy that.

That "Buu" game is shit. Don't bother. Try something like Golden Sun. Or for a nice change of pace, Doom II is always nice

Decided on:

DBZ: Buu's Fury
Sword Of Mana

Then I will get Mario & Luigi when I have the money (christmas) and when Kingdom Hearts comes out, I'll get that.

i seriously fucking HATED Tactics Advanced. I think its because FFT is one of my favorite all time games, and FFTA was such a piece of shit.

im getting pretty worn down on the FF Fanboy shit, too. there was so little FF fanboy shit before FF7.. :\ damn you Square.


I'd say you shoudl pick up Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. Its about half as long as Symphany of the night, but its just as good.

If you want a golden oldie, and a real tough game, try F-Zero MV. Its taken me a good few years to be world-class standard at this game, though compared with the glitz and glamour of these newer whippersnappers you might not like it. So try F-Zero GPL, its a decent racing game for the GBA and its quick. And easy too.

If you don't have them already, get Phantasy Star Collection. It's the best of old-school RPGs.

Fire Emblem is beautiful. And no, it's nothing like Advance Wars. Advance Wars is about building an army and overpowering the enemy as he is building an army, Fire Emblem is about using your army to beat down the opponents army.

Basically, the difference is that in Advance Wars, everybody will be building new troops constantly, while in FE it's two troops simply duking it out. Which I greatly prefer.

Buu's Fury isn't a bad game. Sure, it's not OMG teh most inofative gmae evz0r lolz, but it's a decent little hack-and-slash game (or punch-and-blow-holes-in in this case). It's better than those Lord of the Rings games too. All of them.

The Mega Man Battle Network series is a great little strategy-action-RPG-hybrid thing you definitly have to check out, and the Mega Man Zero series is very good old-school Mega Man action (yeah, okay, it's more like X than classic MM, but whatever. It's good, and it's nowhere near as hard as people say. The first one was disappointingly easy.)

Oh, and there's always the next-generation Pokemon games, which is more of the same, just even MORE complicated. You think your level 100 Salamence is identical to another level 100 Salamence in your state? Well, he most likely isn't. Unless you've been studying guides and graphs and know exactly what you're doing, he's most likely different from all the other Salamences in the entire country.
And he'll most likely get his ass kicked by half of them too, even if their level is lower.

Then there's the Golden Sun series, which is decent, but way too hyped. Breath of Fire 2 is better, and probably cheaper too.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is pretty good, in my opinion, and quite different from other Final Fantasy games too, from what I can see. It's got a generally "lighter" storyline, and it's just pretty cute, really.

Wario Ware is good. Very silly though. Lots of minigames, keeps me very amused on the bus. Get this one if you just want something you can play as little as a few minutes of -- this is great for cramming into small pockets of time.

I looked for Sword Of Mana, but it wasnt there, so I just got a GBA and one game: DBZ: Buu's Fury and I must say that it's entertaining. I love real-time rpgs, so this is great. Anyone know of any other good real-time rpgs?

Gee, if you list DBZ: Buu's fury as good....you must have low standards.

I'd reccomend anything that isn't mary+kate and ashley.

Have you played it and given it a chance? Sure I'm as sick of DBZ as any other guy. Over 300 eps is kind of long, repatative, and just a way of making money (and that's not even counting GT), but this game is pretty cool. Maybe it's just because I like real-time RPGs more than any other type of game in the world. ^^. Gonna try again and take another look around for Sword Of Mana.
