Oh man, I actually got Tomba like a year ago and.... pretty much forgot all about it. Until now I expected a simple 2d/3dish platformer, but instead got a RPG hybrid. Never got used to the weird hump attack though and didn't get very far... Maybe I should bother reconnecting my Playstation and give it another shot

Hell yeah you should! I also 100%'d that and the sequel. I actually considered Tomba 2 better than the first. Sure, the voice acting was... bad...but the costumes were great and fun to use. Not to mention the graphics were beautiful...

OK, so I've beaten Majora's Mask, and then spent most of yesterday completing Oracle of Ages for the first time. Now I'm super sad, because Oracle of Seasons has mysteriously gone missing Between now and Friday (Skyward Sword / Mario 3D Land) I intend to cut down on the amount of Zelda I've been doing lately so as not to burn myself out

I did despise the Goron Dance... That's as far as I'd ever gotten before. I've now beaten the game. And now impatiently waiting for my GBA games

Got myself PKMN SoulSilver. /I've been craving it out for sake of getting other half of first to fourth gen's PKMN along with fifth gen PKMN in Black/
Later comes Mario Kart 7, maybe after few days. (-lwl-)

Playing through Donkey Kong Country 3 after blasting through the first two DKCs a few days ago. Also plodding through Mario vs Donkey Kong on my 3DS.

Well, the Ambassador GBA games came out and I've been playing those!
Well, I say that. When I first got the NES games, I dipped into most of them on the first day or so. With the GBA games, each one requires a lot of time. SO I started playing Yoshi's Island and Wario Land 4, then I beat Wario Land 4 (for the first time ever!)
I've just beat Metroid Fusion again today (not with all items) and so considering carefully what to play next. I've started Yoshi's Island... I should finish that really...
SO MUCH CHOICE!

Got Donkey Kong Country 3 too for VC (My most first DKC-game)- maan. So much memories. The world Dixie and Kiddy are adventuring feels so home: maybe because the whole "Scandinavia"-like places and such. (Forests, lakes, mountains, etc)

I'm enjoying the GBA games on my 3DS. I cannot say I like F-Zero very much. I cannot seem to make turns without hitting the walls. I'm having a hard time winning races.
Fire Emblem is surprisingly good! Not bad for a first impression. I'm still learning the ropes and I am beginning to grasp the types... it is similar to Pokemon in that respect. I'm currently on chapter 4 or 5... I just got past the monsters in the woods. I have like 11 party members and I am struggling to keep track of them, you know, their types, weapons, stats, and levels. But overall, I'm liking it a lot.
WarioWare... it seems to be pretty much the same as the Gamecube version I got many years ago. But for the first time, I discovered that this GBA version is the origin of the elevator pig background in the WarioWare stage in Brawl. I really love Dr. Wario... it's just as good as Dr. Mario.
Wario Land 4... I'm really liking it. Granted it's not Wario Land 3 (my first Wario game and easily the best in the series) it is pretty good on its own merits. I cleared the Sapphire and Emerald passages... I'm halfway done with this.
Mario Kart Super Circuit... how I had forgotten how hard this game was! I cannot make any grade above D... oh well, at least I finished in first place in all 50cc cups and the first two 100cc cups. Drifting in this game is kinda hard to pull off compared to 64, Double Dash, and DS.
Kirby & the Amazing Mirror... or more accurately, Kirby & the Amazing Great Maze. I keep getting lost and I'm not sure where I'm supposed to go. The Smash ability was pretty cool, though.

I've been playing the GBA Ambassador games (Not big Surprise), mainly: Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones - The first Fire Emblem I played/emulated. I did play it a lot years ago, so I decided to start a file on hard from the get go. Even after just beating Radiant Dawn a few months ago, Hard Mode is actually pretty damn hard. I just recently made it to chapter 7, but chapter 3 was pretty damn hard (all those darn ranged dastards attacking Ross...), but chapter 6 was brutal, with the Fog of War, the surprise buttsecks and the "time limit". Fun as hell, though. Oh, and Fry sucks for not playing this /jkMetroid Fusion - I was so happy when this game was announced as an Ambassador game, since Metroid Fusion was my first Metroid game and I had lost my cartridge years ago. The first thing I do is restart the 1% challenge (I really recommend it to anyone looking for a challenge in Metroid Fusion, since the game is honestly quite damn easy) I was in the middle of years ago, in which I was stuck against Nightmare. Now I'm stuck at Yakuza... again. Ah, the memories... all the deaths... Fun as hell, though xD I guess I'm a glutton for punishment when it comes to brutal difficulty. As for the other GBA games: Kirby & The Amazing Mirror - Also played/emulated this years ago, but didn't play it that much. Ability-wise, not as awesome/diverse as Super Star, but I still love the game, especially the Throw, Smash and Fighter Abilities. Of course, since I know at least one person with Ambassador games, I can finally try the multiplayer aspect of the game. Wario Land 4 - First time playing this game, but I love how Wario makes his own type of platformer with his own style. Makes me want to buy Wario... the Wii game >_>' F-Zero: Maximum Velocity - Eh, idk. Definitely my least favorite Ambassador game, mainly because the presentation is terrible and because F-Zero GX is 1000x better. Really don't feel like playing this again, but I will. Since I beat Other M (admit it, it's bad, but Hunters makes M:OM look like a gem), there's no excuse to not play this.

OK, so here's where I'm at with the Ambassador games:
Yoshi's Island I'm dipping into this from time to time and clearing a few levels. I started aiming for 100% in every level, but I forgot how maddeningly difficult some of them can be! I love this game so much. I guess because I played the hell out of this on SNES, I'm taking my time with it now.
Wario Land 4 On GBA I appear to have beaten a bunch of random levels multiple times on various completion attempts, but never got through the whole game (I think I fought maximum 2 bosses before). On 3DS I finally beat the game, but I didn't get the best ending. No matter what I do, I can't beat that inflatable teddy bear boss with a minute left on the timer.
WarioWare, Inc. On GBA I 100%ed this game. I love it so. On 3DS I have beaten the main game and unlocked all levels on the Grid. The only thing left to unlock is Pyoro 2 by beating the scores on all the Grid games. Good fun!
Metroid Fusion This was the first Metroid game I ever beat on GBA, and it helped distract me from a difficult gaming patch (my GameCube had just been burgled and I was freaked out). I have a lot of love for this game, and so I just 100%ed it again on 3DS.
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap I beat this game on GBA, but I never finished it. I've just beaten it again on 3DS, only this time I have the 130 figurines (and 1 of the final set so far) and only about 10 Kinstone fusions left to do. I wish I'd kept a list... So essentially I've overtaken my original playthrough.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit I was shocked to discover how little I had unlocked on the GBA version. Unlike later games, I find that tapping the accelerator is more effective than power sliding 90% of the time. I've been dipping into it from time to time, but not putting a lot of time into it (not helped by Mario Kart 7, to be fair).
So far I haven't touched the other 4 games. I am looking forward to doing so, but I want to give each game the time and attention it deserves.

I haven't been playing with the 3DS Ambassador games lately... mostly playing Mario Kart 7, Mario 3D Land, and Pushmo... but whenever I do, it is usually Yoshi's Island, Wario Land 4, and Metroid Fusion... and when I have free time (as when the school semester is over), I may play Fire Emblem and Zelda Minish Cap... I also need to finish Metroid II and Gargoyle's Quest... god, I get lost all the time in one game and I keep dying despite getting the upgrades in the other. I love my 3DS game library.

Welcome back, Arcadenik!
I've been looking around for a way to exchange save files for those 3DS download games. I may want to start FE8 once I get the save from someone who has beaten both routes (I wanted to use super trainees).

Metroid Fusion: I finally beat Nightmare!
After so many long years (yes, years), my 1% challenge that had become stagnant at the battle against Nightmare finally started advancing once more. A few days ago I found out (on my own and by accident) that you could Space Jump through his arms if you were charging your Beam Weapon (AKA Pseudo Screw Attacking). Also, my biggest problem was never knowing from where he'd come from once his face was vulnerable and he started flying around, and I found out that you can manipulate him into going where you wanted him to go. Those thing made the battle much more manageable and I finally took him down without even getting hit.
Then I swept through Level 4 Hatches AQA, the infected BOX unit and the Restricted Zone. Now I'm currently stuck at Ridley-X. That should keep me entertained for a few more years <='D That damn tail! But I admit I missed his... "battle cry"...
EDIT: And, apparently, I just beat Ridley-X... um... yay?
EDIT2: And now... I beat the game with the 1% challenge...
Damn you, Nightmare... the name was well given.
