thanks for the list do you know if the mega Man Xs games any good for the gamecube??

 

[Fran]

no,i don't.sorry.

ah,pn 03 and killer 7 for the cube are kind of interesting ( both are from capcom )

be warned though,it's usually a love or hate thing with those 2

 

[rarehero]

yea, don't pass up on mario and luigi for the gba or the ds.
(gba one was real fun, haven't finished the ds)
and papermario too.
both papermario and mario & luigi sss should be going for 20 each
since they're player's choice games now.

[Vectorman0]

To make a point, I will recommend one single game:

Best GBA game ever: Ninja Five-O (also has one of the ugliest boxart ever, judge for yourself)

Yes, this game is amazing, and it is worth the price it commands on ebay. Though it doesn't seem to go for too much anymore.

 

[fatal fury fan #2]

how about the F zero for the GBA? any good?? also the prices of some of the GBA games are still 30 bucks a pop, is it best just to get if off ebay??

Speaking of GBA games, what was the general concensus on Gunstar Super Heroes? I recently played through this game it in its entirity but failed to be "floored" by what it offered. I'm not certain if I fell victim to the old trap of ridiculously high expectations (set by the original Gunstar Heroes of course) or if the game really was somewhat lackluster.
