Well, I was skimming through my old GBC games and I found Mr Nutz, I friggin loved that game when I got it, I played it from start to finish so many times, if there was one GBC platformer that got me hooked, it was Mr. Nutz and Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 3 (first tittle I got with my GBC, but it was pretty fun). Also related to the Looney Tunes, I was addicted to both, Martian Alert and it's sequel, Martian Revenge, I gotta admit, the games were on a league of its own, the puzzles, all the dif characters and their individual skills, I wonder... Never played a good Looney Tunes game after Time Buster.
But still... Why didn't Mr Nutz get a DS sequel? :(

Mr Nutz is actually originally an Super Nintendo title, then it was ported to Mega Drive (with a level missing I think) then Gameboy (GBC version is just a recoloured version of that) and then after the GBC one the original SNES version came to GBA and I recall that had a level or two removed from the SNES game added to the GBA version.

There was an Amiga game called Mr Nutz: Hoppin' Mad, different game...and that wasn't originally a Mr Nutz game it was Flying Squirrel thing. That same game was going to be released as Mr Nutz 2 on the Mega Drive was cancelled as the publisher Ocean stopped supporting 16 platforms, though there is a playable rom of it out there I think. Not sure if I recall properly but there may have been a 3rd Mr Nutz that would have been a sequel to the Amiga game.

I guess there was no release of Hoppin' Mad on GBA/DS due to some licensing issue, Atari who published it on GBA only had the rights to the first game.

I loved the Crazy Castle series but they killed it with Woody Woodpecker Crazy Castle 5...would be nice if they bought Bugs back for a new one.

Martian Alert & Revenge...yeah played the hell out of those games. Forgotten classics!

Also I really enjoyed Pocket Bomberman, it was like the adventure mode of the normal games but as a platformer. Usually Hudson do a ton of sequels to all the ones that sold well but for whatever reason they didn't with that.

pocket bomberman rocks! I still have that gb cart its a gem, brings back memories!

Ohh i recall playing Mr Nutz on SNES but gave up soon with terrible collision detection and overall difficulty.. It was a damn beautiful game though. For your GBC i would suggest you play Shantae if you didn't already. Also that colorful gorgeous point & click game, The Fish Files. Have fun! :)

    ik how to REPLACE ram.. but where would i get larger shitz
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    @BeastOfA3DS you cannot simply replace 3DS RAM, you'll need a very expensive rework station
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    You could technically solder each joint with a wire but who has time for that
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    inb4 1 short destroys the entire board kekw
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    @DinohScene, this is the point
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Og Xbox had extra blank pads making the upgrade easier
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    so ram, and sd is fine
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    how the fuck
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    do i find gpu for the shit
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    It's just not really favorable if you want faster ram use citra
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    i want it to be on a 3ds
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    not pc
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    i can easily buy a £10k PC and install citra and call it done
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    you can't take any GPU and dump it in a 3DS, it doesn't work like that
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    i know, thats the issue @DinohScene
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    It's not possible you'd have to get someone knowledgeable enough to rewrite the bios
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    you're just trolling, piss off
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Plus not much would come out of it with little improvement ram doesn't really increase your fps
