Oh yeah, I only just noted that Wario Land 3 is considered a different platform sequel in the Parish perspective
Ya know I think this is a real odd approach (is there really much else exclusive to the GBC that could make a strong top 30?)
List master Parish will have to educate me in the next polygon rankathon
Wtf? I've never looked into DK94 bc I thought it was a port of the arcade one or something. Is it really undeniably better than something like LA?
I love LA, but yeah, DK94 is a better game overall.Wtf? I've never looked into DK94 bc I thought it was a port of the arcade one or something. Is it really undeniably better than something like LA?
I think the only hybrid there is Wario Land 2.Note that this list also didn't include hybrid GB/GBC black carts (unless I accidentally included something, but I tried to double check all my selections to be sure I stuck to grey-only... well, and red/blue). There's tons of great stuff in the black-and-clear cart zone.
I always remember a UK nintendo mag hyping up Wendy: Every With Way.30 strong GBC games is pretty difficult imo. Ones I remember liking:
Warioland 3
Oracle of Ages
Oracle of Seasons
Toki Tori
Spy vs. Spy
Magical Tetris Challenge
Pokemon Crystal
Pokémon Pinball
Pokémon Puzzle Challenge
Mega Man Xtreme 2
Lufia: The Legend Returns
Dragon Warrior III
Puyo Puyo~n
Warlocked
Bomberman Max
Donkey Kong Country
Tom and Jerry: Mouse Attacks
Hunter X Hunter: Kindan no Hihou
Mario Golf
Mario Tennis
Samurai Kid
Metal Gear Solid
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Project S-11
Shantae
Wendy: Every Witch Way
Blaster Master : Enemy Below
Magical Chase
Cannon Fodder
I haven't played a lot of them since they were released though. Curious as to how some of them have aged. Feels like cheating to put Link's Awakening DX in so I didn't - the extra dungeon sucked, and colour took away from the vibe of the game imo

It was originally released as a grey cart!

you are correct, sorry I thought when you meant hybrid you meant titles that had both types of cart in general.
Yeah this was top 30. Mole mania too low. Links Awakening too low. I had the camera. It was cool. Not top 10.
Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle is an underrated GameBoy title. Thought it would have made the list.
fusion is Metroid 4 on the title screen!"While Metroid II is admittedly the weakest of the numbered Metroid games"
uhh Metroid II is the ONLY numbered Metroid game lol
Super Metroid is called Metroid III on the title screen, too. Turn in your badge, kittens, you're off the force.
Yeah, thats the one true right on the list. Link's Awakening should be number 2, Tetris should be 3, and Castlevania 2 is secretly only on that list because of it's music.
Along with what others have said, it makes spectacular use of the Super Game Boy http://loveconquersallgam.es/post/2379636248/fuck-the-super-game-boy-donkey-kongWtf?

It's GBC onlyDragon Warrior Monsters is an utterly bizarre and glaring omission. DWM2 is the best game on the Game Boy. The list is decent otherwise.
Nope. 1 and 2 are black carts. Dragon Warrior III is a GBC cart. That's probably what you're thinking of.
Although the list doesn't explicitly say so, historical importance seems to be as important to its composition as the question of what someone should play today is. From a historical standpoint, the Game Boy Camera is certainly one of its more important features. (Although including it on a list of greatest games is still a bit of a stretch, as the writeup acknowledges.

Oh, my bad. That makes the list better overall, though it's still missing some essentials.GB-compatible GBC games are also dq'd from this list. It's grey carts only.

Damn I have been thoroughly debunked! I knew about Super Metroid but not Fusion, and Zero Mission is a good catch.Also, Metroid: Zero Mission (despite that being a remake of what's implicitly Metroid 1, though I guess they could retcon it and say that Metriod NES/Zero Mission is "Metriod 0" and the Prime series collectively is Metriod 1).
Lol cmon <- amazing argument, I knowIt's the greatest peripheral of all time and is technically a game. I will absolutely die on this hill.
Great Greed was originally on the list—I even wrote it up. It ended up being bumped (along with one or two others) after I completed the first draft and realized I had overlooked some essentials.Some deep cuts on this list... but it's a good one. I feel the GB doesn't get enough love in retro communities. FF Adventure is my favorite and glad to see it's on there! But I kind of expected to see Great Greed on the list too...
I thought that the "Zero Mission" title was a nod at the flashback you get near the end of the newly created for the remake "zero suit mission".Also, Metroid: Zero Mission (despite that being a remake of what's implicitly Metroid 1, though I guess they could retcon it and say that Metriod NES/Zero Mission is "Metriod 0" and the Prime series collectively is Metriod 1).
