Microgames on the Micro

Having a couple of hours to kill on a train without being able to use my DS led me to the resurrection of 2 things: my GBA flash cart and my Gameboy micro. I’d completely forgotten that the micro is so bright it should have a health warning plastered on it; my god the screen is exquisite. I got to play quite a lot of the original warioware, and it’s still the best fun on my GBA by miles. Everything just works so well, it’s so intuitive and funny, and it offers a challenge without being ridiculously hard or engaging.

I also tried out Jet grind radio on the GBA, and whilst being impressed with the presentation, the way that left is sometimes right due to the rotational way the controls worked really didn’t mesh well with what I was used to. That said, the first level is a perfect isometric copy of the original, which coloured me impressed. Thirdly, I played some GT: Advanced. This was the game I bought at launch on my GBA, and I had a ton of fun with it till Mario kart came along and kicked it in the teeth, it was a fun nostalgia trip, but hardly a stellar game.

Sunday went back to breeding Duskulls, after some irritating complications with the Pokemon day care erasing some moves put me back a couple of hours and 20 eggs. I’ve got a box of 15 duskulls with the right nature, I’m hoping that one will have a decent iv in HP and attack, else it’s back to the day care for me…
