The story follows a group of youngsters from the town of St. Heaven series is Riviera, an unusual turn-based RPG that differentiates itself from others with its unique art style and somewhat bizarre storyline. Back when it first came out, FFVI was revolutionary, taking everything that had worked on the previous games and even other franchises and polishing it to a mirror sheen.
Part of what made it so impressive at the time is the depth of its characters and their dramas, which touch on themes like teenage pregnancy, use of chemical weapons in warfare, and life under a military dictatorship. Developed by Camelot Software Planning, this traditional turn-based RPG proved there was a market for incredibly deep, expansive storylines.
It backs up this fantastic narrative with striking visuals, including dynamic sprite-based cutscenes and flashy battles. Picking up right where the original Golden Sun left off, The Lost Age follows a ragtag group of enemy survivors from the first game, who fight to accomplish what they failed to do in the original.

Revisit this excellent console and its array of fantastic titles as we check out the 10 best GameBoy Advance SP games from back in the day. You may not be familiar with this one, especially if you stuck to the core Nintendo experiences of Mario, Donkey Kong, or Zelda. But this hidden gem was a fantastic RPG with a truly unique feature. Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hands was developed by Konami in , and followed the pursuits of vampire hunter Django no relation to the unchained hero played by Jamie Foxx.
The young boy is tasked with saving humanity from extinction during the Age of Darkness, fighting the undead with his Gun Del Sol, a unique weapon that wields the power of sunlight. The trait that truly set Boktai apart from its contemporaries is that the cartridge itself had a built-in photometric light sensor.
Boktai was an impressive role-playing title that naturally integrated a real-world element into its gameplay, transforming it into a challenging and thoughtful experience. The original Advance Wars was a great introduction to the tactical turn-based strategy genre. But the sequel took everything from the first game and improved on it, and should be among any GameBoy Advance SP game collection worth its salt. Carrying on more or less where the original game finished, Black Hole Rising continues to follow the Orange Star army along with the other Allied Nations forces as they defend Macro Land from the invading Black Hole army, their COs, and their mysterious leader, Lord Sturm.
The main draws this time around include the new commanding officers particularly from the villainous Black Hole , the ability to play levels in the campaign with other armies as well as split narrative paths , and a new unit called the Neotank.
You also gain access to Super CO Powers, as well as various battlefield additions like factories, pipelines, and cannons. To be sure, the game is a definite challenge for even the most acute tacticians. But where the game truly shined was in its PvP aspect and the scope of its map creation.
Few handheld games could boast such a genuine and engaging multiplayer mode, but Advance Wars 2 is undoubtedly one of them. Mario Kart: Super Circuit had a lot to live up to after the tremendous success of its predecessor Mario Kart What it does do, however, is provide the same solid gameplay that the two games that preceded it did.
Not only that, but it has better or at the very least, more charming graphics than Mario Kart 64 and more precise controls than the original Super Mario Kart. The game provides the classic collection of racers, including the likes of Yoshi, Peach, Toad, and Bowser, along with the subtle mechanics of weight and coins.
MK:SS also features 20 original tracks to powerslide around, and even includes the original tracks from Super Mario Kart, to boot! On top of that, it had an extremely challenging set of time trial goals to beat and an excellent battle mode. But its most altruistic feature was the shared experience if offered. If you wanted to have a four-player race with your friends, you only needed one copy of the game to have everyone enjoy, which at the time was something akin to sorcery.
Every Nintendo console owner should have a Mario Kart game in their library, and Super Circuit is more than worthy.
