Right, this is pretty straightforward. I would like to know whether you prefer the new kind of graphics on the Game Boy Advance (as stunning as the SNES ever was) or the back-to-basics style of the classic Game Boy.
If you want a better comparison, you could do worse than compare GB Donkey Kong to Mario vs. Donkey Kong (its spiritual, yet pre-rendered cousin). If that's unfair, then how about comparing something plain like the Super Mario Land games to something as luscious as Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Stunning. I love simple games, but I also love innovative design.

.... Is this a trick question or something? No, I'm not trying to catch anybody out or anything. I'm just wondering whether you prefer the simple, no-guesses style of the original Game Boy (and indeed most NES and SNES games) or the flashy graphics possible on the Game Boy Advance. I suppose it's "functional vs. style". If you think flashy graphics impact on gameplay negatively or positively then here's your chance to say so... or if you think they both have their good points in different ways then say so too... But I'm just wondering, in general, which you prefer on a 2D handheld system like the Game Boy. Personally I think, as pretty as some Game Boy Advance games are, they can't hold a candle to the functional graphics of the original Game Boy. But hey, I'll find out on Friday whether the new Zelda can convert me to the style camp  |

I voted for 'Stunning'... I like pretty graphics, though I don't really like pre-rendered 3D graphics, like in Mario vs. Donkey Kong...

I like 2-D games that push boundaries, but I hate handheld 3-D games. But I still voted for stunning. Though I'm against the Legend Of Zelda games being realeased for the Game Boy Advance. Honestly, the Collector's Edition should have been made available to everyone.

The SNES style is my favourite - in both 2D and 3D...
So, I think the GBA games really rule above anything.

I like the good graphics that are on GBA games, such as how Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green got better over its first 2 Pokemon Game Boy games. Then onto 3rd-party GBA games: Take a look at Duke Nukem Advance, it was in 3D and the voice/sound effects are still there like in the PC game, Duke Nukem 3D. When I first played Grand Theft Auto Advance [GBA], I was amazed about how the graphics looked like even in the format of 2D, and the stunning gameplay and features like in the GTA games on PS2/XBox as well as blood that exists in the game that made this title rated M for Mature, but sometimes in a game like this, the FPS gets a little choppy. Every time I play my GBA games at home, I use the Game Boy Player, in which is connected to the Nintendo Gamecube. Sometimes before I buy GameBoy Advance games, I read the reviews first at GameFAQs to see if it's a good game.

What about Diddy's Kong Quest for GBA was for Donkey Land 2 for GB?

I consider the Donkey Kong Land games to be a misjudged "Style" option rather than a functional option. For a start, prerendered graphics on top of prerendered backgrounds when you only have three colours to play on just doesn't work.
The Donkey Kong Land games, in my opinion, are the worst ever offenders of style over function... because in the end they were neither, and were virtually unplayable.

I bought the first Donkey Kong Land game because I didn't have a SNES, and hoped I would be getting a game as good as Donkey Kong Country. Instead I got a game where I could barely see where I was going or any moving enemies around me. I never bought another DKL game.

My vote goes to Gameboy Advance. Some games don't work without color like Tetris and nothing beats SNES games. But I would have much prefered that Nintendo made a fourth Gameboy with four or more buttons before venturing into 3D handhelds.

*consults self* What am I to vote for, Kral'Nah?
Go by which you follow.
Umm... What does that mean?
Which Kirby platform do you like better, Idiot.
Nightmare in Dreamland vs Kirby's Dreamland?
Magic Mirror vs Kirby's Deamland 2?
I vote GBA.

I'm not voting, I'm not shallow for graphics... and both handhelds had good games, but I would probably just barely choose either of these over Game Boy Color.
