Subject: The Bestest GBC Game EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thu Dec 23, 2010 11:42 am

So... in a fierce bidding war I won the coveted GameBoy Color game Shantae!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Basically I have pooped, as I haven't bought a gem in quite a while (well, save that 32x game I found but I had that!).

ZeldAnTales...you had me at fierce bidding war. Another win for the Ninfest Nation! I'd say this has got to be the best holiday season all around for retro and recent purchases for us Ninfestians.

Please don't post any videos of you pooping on Shantae. scratch

I suppose it's not saying much to say it's the best GBC game ever, given the GBC's relatively short library, but congrats on the score!

You suppose wrong.

There were plenty of great games on GBC... And to say something is the best of its ilk, regardless of size of catalog, is certainly something interesting/praiseworthy.

I digress- look at its graphics and read about the gameplay. Its better than most CURRENT platformers so there, is enough for you? Razz

I wasn't knocking it. I also wasn't saying the GBC games weren't good. I was only saying there weren't many. And yes, the size of the catalog matters when making comparisons. If you're best out of two, that only says you're better than one. Doesn't say much at all. At any rate, it appears my memory of the size of the GBC catalog was faulty. It doesn't come close to the Gameboy library, but it's sizable nonetheless.

Quit trying to argue I never said it didn't matter I said regardless of catalog size it is INTERESTING OR PRAISEWORTHY.

Time to direct that hate my way as I have yet to play one Shantae game. I'm waiting for the 3DS eShop game to arrive to make that my entry point.

Why not the DSi one? It was great, if a bit short. Totally worth it though.

I should have. I did have it on my "to download list" but ran out of internal storage and hate "cleaning out the fridge". Nintendo never gave us the opportunity to play DSiWare games off the SD Card so I just stopped buying.
