    Minish Cap even if I think it's the weakest 2d Zelda

      Minish cap would be sweet if it had a second half to the game

      When I played it I genuinely thought the final dungeon was the “midpoint” like in other Zelda games

      You go around get 3 or 4 Mcguffins in some easier simpler dungeons as like an extended tutorial, then you come back to the castle and some story stuff happens and then you go to the dark world or through time or twilight or whatever and then do the 5-7 real dungeons

      But no it just ends. Credits roll I genuinely expected another chunk of game, it felt like it was just getting off the ground and then poof it’s over

        Don't forget the useless mirror shield being the only post-game content.

      It was good enough for 14-year-old me to bother finishing.
      The soundtrack was the best thing about the game.

    Anything made by Brownie Brown is certainly up there.

      Yeah, was just about to mention Sword of Mana.
      Very pretty game, although I prefer the original gameplay wise.

          I actually played it after SoM, so it's certainly not nostalgia.

    Mario vs DK looked good at the time, Street Fighter 2 was very well done.

          So you're pretty much admitting you think the games look good only because they're popular? All right then.

          This thread is about good looking games, not about whether the games themselves are good. FRLG aren't visually impressive in any way, and I'd go as far as to say they look pretty mediocre for GBA games.
          Suggesting that they're "The Best Looking GBA Games" when their contemporaries included Minish Cap (only two months apart) is just fucking delusional.

        You just took a screenshot of the intro.

        Here's footage of the game, since screenshots can't do it justice. Has a soundtrack that rivals the very best of the Amiga

    Actual 3D (not pre-rendered/isometric/raycasting) game on GBA.

        It'd probably look better on a non-backlit GBA screen or frontlit GBA SP screen.

        Is this runescape?

        Asterix & Obelix XXL, it uses software rendering for the 3D levels. Characters and objects are 2D sprites

    Drill Dozer, Metroid Fusion, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, Wario Land 4, and WarioWare: Twisted! are all strong contenders

    The Boktai games have light sensors, making them among the only games that can functionally LOOK.
    Ergo, I would call them the best looking GBA games.

    Golden Sun games and Summon Night Swordcraft Story games both look impressive.

    No I will not post an image.

      Golden Sun was perhaps the best GBA game I never played. The commercials were enough to show how stunning the games were, but I never got around to playing them.

    Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.
    Because of this, the game suffered heavily in the music department because they didn't keep cartridge limitations in mind. Good job Iga.
    The team that made CotM should've made another game.

      anon, he said "best looking"
      that is definitely not HoD
      the music is bad in it due to the composition, not the limitations, you wouldn't call NES CV music bad would you?
