David Amadorbrowsing Game Boy Advance games screenshots is just pixel art gold.
Because everyone seems to like this, a couple more, Boktai, Scurge: Hive, Golden Sun and Astro Boy. Reminder that GBA was 240×160px
Joel Auterson@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

Max Lupo@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 boktai 🥰
tea 🌺@djlink What's the one in the upper left?
Nyek London@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!
Ben@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
Jejo@away2thestars I believe so, the screen size and resolution was perfect, most games look so good
Kennedy Richard maintains OSS@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.
Jason Wise@djlink brings back so many memories from childhood.
Der Jupp 🎨@djlink have a look at Golden Sun and Golden Sun:The Lost Age . Probably among the best pixelart ever to grace a GBA screen.
Beyond Peril@djlink Agreeeeed. Look at those colors!

JamesTDG@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*
