As this is an emulation site it's worth noting that there's color restoration patches for all these games. Get yourself a backlit GBA and a flash cart and you're away.
I had no idea these existed. I'm sad now that I just played through Final Fantasy VI Advanced on the original cart when I could have played it with restored colors.
EDIT: Just found a palette and sound restore patch for Yoshi's Island. I'm so excited right now, I can't believe I didn't know about these sooner!

from the Makers of Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations? - but what about the redesign to make it more appealing to Western audiences

I hope they aren't abandoning the Soleannaian lore they established in 06. I've been waiting for an update on the Silver and Shadow storylines for 10 years now.
