I did play Yu-Gi-Oh when I was young, but that got old real quick. I think Doom touched on one of the major issues.

When it comes to games, I think I miss the Gameboy days the most: from the big white Gameboy to the Gameboy Advance. Nothing beats the days where you had to struggle to swap good batteries in the device or using the streetlights to see the screen at night while riding in a car.

The most memorable games for Gameboy to me:

+Metroid Prime II

+Metroid Fusion

+Pokemon Yellow and Silver

+Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones

+Megaman Battle Network: White Version

I know I'm forgetting some others but these are off the top of my head.

The Gameboy/advance days were amazing. I have a DS and 3DS, but I pretty much only have the Pokemon games for them and those are getting very stale for me.

I'd add Mario and Luigi's Superstar Saga and Yu-Gi-Oh GX: Duel Academy to your excellent list. I spent a lot of time playing both of those games.

A bit off topic, but we might see the Gameboy make a come back as a console/handheld hybrid (that's what Nintendo's next console is rumored to be).

I agree the Pokemon games are pretty stale now. I wonder what they could change to inject some life into the series. They seem to be rehashing the same formula with a few new features. If they could concentrate on something new without completely removing the classic battle system (for those that still want it), then they could have another gem on their hands.

I believe I played the Yu-Gi-Oh game you mentioned. I can't remember the name for the Gameboy version, but I do remember the one for Playstation. I think it was Forbidden Memories. It wasn't bad for its time. You could actually summon 3D models of all the monsters to battle. It also had an insane Diffculty curve. The first battle was easy, the second was challenging, the third, impossible. Still fun though.

I heard a rumor about Nintendo's new console. I might be wrong, but I know they said something about competing with Xbox and Playstaion. I guess we'll see...
