Wow, it has been an ETERNITY since I last came to this section of the forum. But lately I've been getting back into spyro, and I have just about all the GBA spyro games now. and it got me thinking, what to you guys think of the handheld spyro games in the series?

I have yet to play spyro orange, but spyro 2 season of flame was my first spyro game ever. And I thought it was a blast. Season of ice was decent as well, and I'm currently working on attack of the rhynocs.

I've only played bits and pieces of shadow legacy, but from what I played, I enjoyed it for the most part. TEN and DotD for Nintendo DS were both really solid games, and I think I enjoy TEN on DS more than I did on Wii. And I'm also currently working on the gba versions of ANB and TEN.

I've never played any skylanders games, let alone a handheld one though.

Hi, welcome back!

The thing is about these games is that they're all unique. They have charms that separate themselves from the home console counterparts. I just wish that they were more SOLIDLY developed.

Loco you need to play more handheld games if you think the Spyro ports of them were unique. Actually,it took quite the time until handheld ports of a load of franchises got to be decent.
TEN GBA definately was the best handheld Spyro game I ever played, specially because it managed to handle the plot better than the console version and was a different genre entirely(metroidvania instead of beat-em-up plataformer). Shadow Legacy has a really silly and easy to run into game breaking glitch but I still play it every now and then to try to find a way around it. DOTD DS was just dumb and made the console version a good game compared to it.

Now, I'd really would want to see someone's opinion on the mobile LOS games. I played the TEN demo, and the sprites looked really sharp and well done for an oldschool cellphone game, but it only goes up until the first boss and ends before you can even have fun in it.

I've unfortunately never played any of the mobile games, though I hear some are pretty good.

Attack of the Rhynocs and Shadow Legacy are my favourite handhelds. My least favourite is either Season of Ice because I find it too hard or Fusion because it didn't turn out as good as I expected (it's just mostly minigames).

Definitely try the GBA version of The Eternal Night. Whether you love or hate TLoS, that game is really, really good.

Otherwise, Season of Ice is one of my faves, along with Shadow Legacy.

They're not too bad actually, albeit a bit on the easy side. DotD lacks Sparx for whatever reason though.
