Games I would want on a Game Boy Classic

The Game Boy was my favorite system as a kid and well into my teen years. I feel like the Giant Bomb staff doesn't have as much of an affinity for the system that I did as whenever they are asked the question in the email segment about what games they would want on a Game Boy Classic they always seem rather clueless.

note: I tried to leave off third party games to make this list feature games that would realistically appear on a hypothetical Game Boy Classic.

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3

My favorite of the Mario Land games and in my humble opinion the best Game Boy platformer.

Donkey Kong

Easily my favorite Donkey Kong related games and a near perfect puzzle platformer.

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

Feel like a proper Mario game unlike the first game plus the first appearance of Wario.

Super Mario Land

Super Mario Land

Weird weird game that plays really well but seems off in a bootleg sort of way.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX

Classic and I can't wait for the remake.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

Never played this or Seasons but if they play half as good as the GBA Capcom made Minish Cap I'm down for it.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
