i don't like any of them but these games practically dominate the gba forum.

don't get me wrong, they might be great games, but isn't anyone here playing any of the metroid, castlevania or mario games?

gameboy advance has tons of great games, so a little bit of variety would be appreciated

I somewhat understand what you mean. It's annoying that the game that stays on the number #1 spot consistantly is Pokemon Emerald. A truly unremarkable game, in all respects. The Final Fantasy Advance series is awesome, don't get me wrong, but the Golden Sun RPG's are much better. I love Fire Emblem though, I agree with everyone else's opinion there.

Yet there are so many great GBA games out there that no one has a clue about. One of the most common complaints I hear about the GBA library is that it's "just a bunch of NES and SNES ports". While there are quite a few of NES and SNES ports, there are also a surprisingly great number of original games as well.

The GBA has five star games in every major genre. Of course, 3D efforts on the GBA aren't often successful but there are a few good efforts. At any rate, there is a hell of a lot more than six versions of Pokemon to play. I guess that's my point.
