browsing Game Boy Advance games screenshots is just pixel art gold.

More GBA games pixel art because they look gorgeous

#retrogaming #pixelart

Because everyone seems to like this, a couple more, Boktai, Scurge: Hive, Golden Sun and Astro Boy. Reminder that GBA was 240×160px

@djlink golden sun obviously incredibly impressive but every time I see Boktai I'm in awe of the art style, it's so good. Shame it's super expensive and not really playable in an emulator, alas
@joel @djlink there are some patched roms where you can control the solar sensor with L+dpad, so you can play on emulators
@djlink Golden Sun flat out blew my mind as a kid. The detail of the backgrounds, and the pseudo 3D of some of the character models were great, and they were all packaged in a game that seemingly came out of nowhere.
@djlink What's the one in the upper left?
@djlink Still so gutted that the GBA was a perfect pixel machine, that arrived right in the peak days of "Just use half-assed 3D renders for everything". So many games that could have looked amazing absolutely ruined!
@djlink Damn, they do. Glad I did IPS mods on my old GBAs. Looking forward to get ‘em out for the Christmas holidays.
@gamepsychologe I’m planing the same, although there’s a few classic GB games I wanna play first
@djlink
golden era of #pixelart ?
@away2thestars I believe so, the screen size and resolution was perfect, most games look so good
@djlink
I agree most current pixel art games are now inspired on them. They were amazing
@djlink
I think it was the natural 2D pixel art evolution from SNES graphics , instead of going to the polygon starting 3D graphics of PlayStation or N64
@djlink The Minish Cap (Zelda) is super fun as well.
@KennedyRichard I’m yet to play this one, gotta find time
@djlink I know the struggle. I myself gotta find time to play some SNES classics I never got to play or finish.
@djlink brings back so many memories from childhood.
@djlink have a look at Golden Sun and Golden Sun:The Lost Age . Probably among the best pixelart ever to grace a GBA screen.
@djlink Agreeeeed. Look at those colors!

@djlink Oh yeah! The time when you could say that Pokémon games had good graphics without lying!

Also: Golden Sun or Lady Sia have incredible #pixelart.

@djlink indeed the peak of AAA pixel art. I wish they didn't forget how to make beautiful pixel games now, *looks at Pokemon and classic FF*
