Game boy/GBA games available on modern(ish) systems.

[angelgrievous]

I'm about to finish Belmont's Revenge after having finished The Adventure from the same Anniversary Collection and it has left me wanting to play more GB/GBA games on my tv.

I know there's the other Castlevania collection out there but what other games are available? I think there's a collection with some mana/FF legends games on it but is there anything else?
Is there anything on PS2/3?

I should note I am aware of the Wii U virtual console. How's the emulation there? I'll likely end up grabbing most of what's there.

Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection comes to mind.

Wii U virtual console is great IIRC, same with the DS one.

Shantae is a GBC game that's on Switch and will be arriving to the other platforms and PC soon.

Which one?

oh, just shantae. Nvm.

The Disney Classics collection has Lion King, Aladdin, and Jungle Book GB/GBC games. They're... not the best, but the nostalgia is nice.

Unfortunately the biggest amount of GB/GBC games is on the 3DS VC, so you wouldn't be able to play them on your TV from there.

It's also on 3DS if you're into that.

EDIT: Missed the part about wanting to play on TV. Oops.

I didn't realize this had come out. Nice.

There's the Collection of Mana, which has the first Mana game (Final Fantasy Adventure) in it. There's also the SaGa collection on Switch as well, which has all three GB SaGa/Final Fantasy Legend games. The Contra collection also has Operation C, which is surprisingly solid.

Since you said Wii U VC is an option, I definitely recommend picking up Super Mario Advance 4; It includes all of the e-Reader bonus content, including all of the levels that never released outside of Japan.

With the exception of the aforementioned SaGa collection all of the above emulation (Wii U GBA VC included) was handled by M2, which is just about the best people possible. Other than that, there's not much. GB/GBC/GBA games didn't really start seeing re-releases until 3DS/Wii U.
