The GBA in many ways was the proto Nintendo switch/PSP. It was a handheld that was sold on basically being a portable SNES. Which at the time was extremely cool. As a child I did not have Internet access growing up, so being able to play games like Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario Bros 3 on the go was fun.
The issue is, that now after time has passed, the GBA isn't as attractive as it once was because basically every single phone can run a SNES emulator.
Luckily, the GBA did have some good original games that make it worth revisiting. Notably, Wario, Kirby, Metroid, Zelda. However, nowadays, I still revisit the DS more because the DS has way more original and interesting games. It's interesting because I used to much prefer the GBA untill I actually sat down and played it again.
The 3ds is sort of a balance because its library is a heavy mix of original games and remakes/ports. These remakes due typically offer better quality and are worth revisiting.
Thoughts?
