Hello everyone, how are you? I never had too many GBA games when I had a red GBA SP. It was mostly Pokemon, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, and A Linkt o the Past. Years later I did get a few more, but not alot. I'm glad Virtual Console is a thing and it allows me to get games I might of missed, like this great one...

Zero Mission

Metroid: Zero Mission: Yes, I know what you're thinking Dat Ass. Anyway, Zero Mission was a game I always wanted to try out, but never got to due to hardships during that time. When Nintendo announced it would be adding GBA games to the Wii U Virtual Console, I had hoped they would add it there eventually. They did bring it to Japan and I think Europe, and they had it for a good long time. It wasn't till last year that Nintendo finally released it on VC. It's such an amazing game. It's a remake of the original Metroid, and probably one of the best, if not the best remake out there. It's a short game, but it's such a fantastic game, it took a very long time but glad I finally got to play it.

Well that's all the GBA games I played in 2016. Thanks for reading and...

Actually, i thought the ship looked like a purple whale. That's where my eyes focused.

What whale?

The purple Shamu impersonator to the front left of the blue, vase-like ass crack.

Just a rhetorical question.

I remember this being one of the big games for the GBA but at the time I was waiting for the PSP and never got around to playing it.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. That is all.

Zero Mission and FF Tactics Advance were two of my favorite GBA games. I wish they'd release Tales of Phantasia on Virtual Console, even with its slightly mangled localization.

I still have Zero Mission and still need to play it. Oh, time.
