So guys, again, does Advance Wars have a difficulty setting?
So would GBA games on Gamepad or TV be the ideal way to play these games? Even if you have access to a cart and a GBA SP or DS?
Ideal way is probably Micro or SP 101
Unless you like having a bigger screen and don't value out-of-the-house portability.
I have a Micro, but the screen is just too small for my liking.
Original version of the GBA is still my way to go

Oh yes, the only reason I mention those is they have the backlit screen out of the box.
Some people in the GBA thread have been doing the backlit + glass screen mod to their original GBAs recently, and they look amazing.
Oh man I would kill for those as I don't like the SP layout, it just doesn't feel right.

I have big hands and both the Micro and SP 101 just don't feel right to me either.
The original GBA just has that perfect form factor
Agreed.
With regards to backlight, considering I mostly played the GBA outside, the lack of a backlight wasn't much of an issue for me.
A couple of years ago, my wife and I tried to play our DSs together on the beach, and it was pretty much impossible due to the glare. Meanwhile, my GBA was absolutely beautiful.
But, yeah, I love the GBA's form factor.
So, verdict on rumble for Mario and Luigi?

Nope. It doesn't see it as being in a GameBoy Player, so doesn't activate the option.
Except Earthbound had an official release outside of Japan, no such luck with Mother 3

The original GBA just has that perfect form factor, and a headphone adapter that the SP 101 is missing out of the box.
I just can't stand playing without the backlight, I really need to do the original GBA mod.
I just really want to see Circle of the Moon soon.

Still, it wouldn't take that much effort, if it sold like Earthbound has. It probably doesn't cost much for it to be translated. For all we know, they might even have a translation already in their archives or something. I believe Mother 1 has one.
Anyway, I can't decide which GBA game to get. Metroid Fusion isn't an option since I have it on the 3DS and just beat it last year. I used to love Advance Wars when it first released but I sucked at the Campaign mode. I can't remember, does it have difficulty settings?
On the other hand, I've never played a single Mario & Luigi game and they look very charming. The only problem is I'm already playing Tales of Xillia and Borderlands 2 and I don't want to throw in another longer game right now.
That is the big question. We need third-party stuff! Need that Ninja Five-O!

First impression is that the game looks so much better on the big screen than I thought it would. I don't know why but I thought it would look unplayable on an HD TV. But since it's sprite work it blows up pretty well. Is it scaled properly or is there a way to force it into a natural multiplier of the original resolution? (Sorry if that didn't make sense.)
By default it's not quite scaled properly, but if you pick Original in screen mode, it becomes scaled by an integer. You get small black borders at the top and bottom, but it's not that far away from being full.
How do I access those options?
Cool, never noticed that option before

Is there anyway I can buy this from a site that isn't eBay?! This looks amazing.
