I kind of wanted to buy a card battle game for my GBA but there are like a dozen Yu Gi Ohs and some random Mega Man games that I've never even heard of...

I'll be playing vs. the computer so good multiplayer is a non issue. Last one I played on a console was Pokemon GBC and that shit was awesome.

what does GAF suggest?

Yu-Gi-Oh Eternal Duesists Soul is in my opinion not only the best GBA card game, but possibly the best card game overall.

Pokemon TCG

I got the sense that most of the good ones got left in Japan, but http://www.gamefaqs.com/gba/list-240 http://www.gamefaqs.com/gbc/list-240 it looks like there are relatively few, anyway. There might be a Card Hero patch?

If you're talking about the Mega Man Battle Network games, those are hybrid card-battle/action RPGs. Nothing at all like Yu-Gi-Oh. But they also have the best battle system of any RPG ever (especially BN3) so they're worth checking out regardless.

GBC Monster Rancher: Battle Card is pretty good too, although the translation's really rough.

Go for the most recent seeming Yu Gi Oh one (the World Tournament Editions).

Seriously, card games FTW.

Paper Mario 2 says hi.

any reason i should go for that one and not the most recent one w/ more cards?

I thought Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories was pretty good.

In that case might as well add the Kingdom Hearts game as well.

dats the best

is the older one really better than the new one?

 

[Glix]

I have a buddy that put like 300 hours into the DBZ one.

 

[Takao]

The newer the Yu-Gi-Oh game, the better. Older games have wonky rules. There are two or three that are like RPGs, specifically The Sacred Cards and Reshef of Destruction. But the worldwide tournament games are cool too.

I also had fun with the Duel Masters games, but only me and 3 other people in the English speaking world cared for the series.

The original Cardfighters Clash never got re-released did it? I thought only the sequel was on DS.

For me, EDS is the best one because it doesn't include all the rpg elements and stuff, and is just a straight card battler.

While yeah, it goes by older rules and has less cards, the newer games have odd controls and are more story oriented and everything. edit- (Not to mention the card generator system has no prerequisites, allowing you to get an insanely powerful deck right from the beginning, though some might consider that cheating.)

I'm not saying the newer games are bad (they aren't), but the oldest one is the best.

It's sort of hard to explain without actually playing them though.

Yes, I love the Mega Man Battle Network RPGs. Even 4 and 5 were pretty fun despite being really poor :lol
