Poll of the Day > Recommend me some Gameboy Color Games!

(+) Yeah! (+)

So my GBC Collection has always been rather lacking, and lately I've been wanting to expand on it's library of games, especially since I'm going to be making a comeback to youtube before too much longer, and I want more games to play for the system on there.

The games that I already own for it are...

Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
Mega Man Xtreme
Mega Man Xtreme 2
Pokemon Crystal
Pokemon Puzzle Challenge
Tarzan

Keep in mind, I'm not looking for original Game Boy games, I'm looking for Game Boy Color games.

pokemon and zelda
---

Wario Land 3

Shantae
Super Mario Bros dx
---

Dragon Warrior III. I think you NEED this one.

Also I've heard that one platformer, Shantae or whatever it's called, is pretty good.
---

Metal gear: ghost babel
---

Well I'll be damned. The dude who is creating a fan translation of Star Ocean GBC has been making progress lately.
---

If you haven't played Pokemon Trading Card Game, you need to.
---

Survival Kids (not sure if GBC exclusive)
Perfect Dark
Dragon Quest Monsters 2 (the first game had regular and colour features, but the second is colour only)
Daikatana (the GBC version is actually a decent game)
---

Bomberman Max (either version)

*Crystalis (Definitely pick this one up)

Dragon Warrior 1 & 2

Pokemon Pinball
---

Ehhhhh

Ok, Crystalis is a GREAT game, but the GBC kinda ruined it slightly - get the NES version
---

Game and Watch Gallery 2
Game and Watch Gallery 3

Second one has better games than the third but they offer a lot of variety regardless, the only bad thing about them is the tediousness of starting all over if you're trying to unlock more stuff, especially on easy and/or low scoring games.

If you're into fighting games then maybe Power Quest as well.

Daikatana (the GBC version is actually a decent game)

It definitely is, despite it being unreleased and is only playable since it was leaked on-line.

Actually released in Europe, then I do not get why it had to be "leaked", oh well. It is playable.
---

The Dragon Warrior games for sure, along with Daikatana. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was a good RPG for the system.

If you like Bomberman, get Wario Blast, it even has a survival mode where you take on 99 enemies (not all at once, they spawn between 1 and 3 at a time).
---

Hamtaro Ham Hams Unite!
this is a good ass game, its like a puzzle adventure game where you go around various locations gathering the hams via a fictional language system, its sick please play it.

Dragon Warrior Monsters 1 & 2, you can just skip to 2 if you want, 1 has a shitload of charm but the maps are randomly generated and 2 is pretty much better in every way, not a pokemon clone but you do tame and raise monsters, even has a monster marriage system similar to SMT fusion funnily enough

Survival Kids, its a cool survival game will hella gbc charm, I dont really have much more to say about it really tho, just some good ol wholesome fun

Hamtaro Ham Hams Unite!

While I haven't played this, I have seen videos of it and it looks really good
---

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
---

Metal gear solid!
---

Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword was a pretty nice platformer.
Bionic Commando: Elite Forces is an underrated sequel.
Shantae is good.
Wario Land 3 is another good platformer.
---

Wario Land 3
Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite!
Mario Tennis
---

Magi-Nation

That is all.
---

I have the NES version of Crystalis, so I'm not really sure I want to spend money on the GBC version unless it adds some extra stuff.

Also, I never realized there was a Tomb Raider game for the GBC. I guess I should have expected it considering we have Metal Gear, Resident Evil, and Perfect Dark on it.

Great suggestions so far! Keep 'em coming!

It rearranges some plot bits so you'll actually get some time with that fifth sword. If there was anything extra, I've forgotten it.
Also it replaced all the music for some reason, and the new music isn't very good.

This is going to sound weird, but take my word on this:

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

The game has the potential to be a bit buggy sometimes but otherwise is a really decent RPG. I don't even usually like RPGs.
---

I'm on board for this too. I hardly have any.

One I'd really like to get is Pkmn Pinball.
---

I've put all of the suggestions into a list, and I'm going to check them all out through reviews and gameplay videos.

The List so far...

Bionic Commando: Elite Forces
Bomber Man Max (Either Version)
Daikatana
Dragon Warrior I & II
Dragon Warrior III
Dragon Warrior Monsters II
Game and Watch Gallery 2
Game and Watch Gallery 3
Hamtaro Ham Hams Unite!
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Magi-Nation
Mario Tennis
Metal Gear: Ghost Babel
Metal Gear Solid
Perfect Dark
Pokemon Pinball
Pokemon Trading Card Game
Power Quest
Shantae
Super Mario Bros. DX
Survival Kids
Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword
Wario Land III

Anymore suggestions, anyone?

Super Mario Bros. DX

It's got most of Lost Levels included.

Blaster Master: Enemy Below

Redmage1987 posted...

Also, I have a couple of questions: Is it worth it to get Dragon Warrior I & II or Super Mario Bros. DX if I already own Dragon Warrior 1, Dragon Warrior 2, and Super Mario Bros. on NES? What about Dragon Warrior III? Would I be better off with the NES version, or does the GBC add some stuff to those games?

If you have the GBC printer, you can print stuff out in SMB DX. That's cool, right?

I think it also had minigames or something? Can't remember, it's been ages. Otherwise, as QM noted, it has some of the Lost Levels as well. In general it doesn't play as well as the NES version because the visible area is a bit smaller iirc.
---

the best version of dw3 is the snes version with a translation patch
that way you can fast forward through the grind

pokemon puzzle league is cool

i played a monster rancher game when i was younger too

looking at gFaq's big list some interesting games might be...
conkers pocket tales
Resident evil Gaiden
Dokapon
Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! lol

Oh yeah, Monster Rancher Battle Card... although it's nowhere near as good as the ps1 version. Still love the card game itself.

kirbys dreamland 2
kirby tilt and tumble
mario golf
lufia
toki tori

there are better yu gi oh games on steam that are completely free

lufia

It's a rogue-like with continues and an actual plotline

Be sure to read up on how the battlesystem works. It's a bit odd.

oh ya, Lufia 3.... is butchers the canon, but comes up with its own unique story so it's kinda acceptable. Great battle system, probably the strongest RPG on the Gameboy

For the Dragon Warrior games. DW1+2 is super rare, it's just the games - but really hard to find. However DW3 has lots of new content, but likewise the NES version is super rare
---

Alright, I'll probably pass on Dragon Warrior I & II, then, since I own both of those on NES already. Still not sure about whether or not I'll get Super Mario Bros. DX either. Anyway, I've updated the list again, too. Keep those recommendations coming, people!

Also, on a side note, I think it's so dumb that Nintendo already took away the ability to add Wii Points from the Wii Shop Channel, yet the channel is still going to be up and going until early 2019!!! I knew the channel was going to be shutting down in 2019, so I put off buying the last few games off of it that I was interested in, only to find out later that it's no longer an option!!! UGH!!!

I had planned to get Blaster Master Overdrive, as well as several VC games that were cheaper to buy off of the Shop Channel vs. the hard copies. I can still get some of the VC games via the eShop on other systems, but I can't do anything about the WiiWare titles that I was looking at getting. So stupid...

been playing the pokemon tcg gbc game recently and it's still pretty great
---

I picked up Dragon Warrior III today while I was browsing for some stuff on Amazon. I got that along with Sonic Mega Collection Plus (PS2), Sky Blazer (SNES), a Shovel Knight Amiibo, and 2 SNES controllers.
---

Legend of the River King
---

dont forget that if you like pokemon tcg gbc the sequel got fanslated and its better in every way
---

Shantae
---

Dragon warrior monsters 2 ( superior version of pokemon)

Super Mario brothers deluxe

Warlocked ( pretty good RTS for gbc)

The bomberman max blue game for gbc is fun
