I pulled out my Super Nintendo, but my saves keep vanishing

[Grimbeorn]

Hey my first post on the forums. What a great thread for it.

I just started replaying FF3 on my Samsung Galaxy S3.

It's surprisingly great for it. I just needed something to play when I have 15 minutes here or there to kill, but then I end up putting 2 hours into it.

I transfer save files back and forth between my phone and my tablet, so when I'm home I'll play it on tablet, when I'm out and about I'll do some work on my phone.

I don't have to tout the benefits of an emulator, but what's surprisingly nice for these devices is the ability to pair my PS3 controller to them when I don't feel like using the on screen controls.

And...yes glad that FF3 and Earthbound were mentioned, those were my favorites.

But now I want to dust off the SNES and play on that...

There's also Final Fantasy VI Advance for GBA, which is the same as FF3 (usa/snes) except there's a new translation, some new magicite, and a new final/bonus dungeon w/ super weapons for each character. The extras are definitely cool and a great addition to the game (the end is where FF3 falls apart a bit), but I personally prefer the original translation. A lot of people think the GBA translation is better, so ymmv. Apparently the GBA translation is supposed to be closer to the original, but Woolsey's quirky translation is kinda part of the game imo.

this thread is winning so far but i feel that these titles deserve an honorable mention:

Yeah I played the GBA version once...after playing the original so much, it just wasn't the same. The end extra content is cool, but I'll sacrifice that for the sake of nostalgia.
