I skipped the GBA completely and regret it. I went from my Gameboy Color to DS and am occasionally going back to getting games I missed. I'd recommend Pokemon and The Legend of Zelda: Minnish Cap. They're they only ones I've played and I loved them both.

I don't know if he included Mario and Lugi Superstar saga in the mix but it should be in there. That's a great list though.

Anyone know why many GBA games don't go down in price? There are a lot that are still $25-35 that have been out for several years. All 3 pokemon games cost the same as the newDS ones.

I missed out on the GBA stage too, becauseI was fairly young back then and not interested invideo games at all. The lists given by other members pretty much have everything on it, but you may also want to check out these platformers:

-Drill Dozer

-Castlevania games

-Megaman Zero series

-Kirbygames (Yay Kirby!)

-Yoshi's Island (Gosh I love this game)

-Crash Bandicoot games

And all of the Pokemons are good for RPGs. I think you should be set! =)

Well most of my gba games are either yugioh, megaman, or dragonball z lol But my favorite was yoshi's island, the megaman battle network series, and kirby games. Also there was a game called Sonic Battle I played and it was pretty cool.

I'm gonna add my voice to both Golden Sun games, and all FF games (though you may as well just wait for IV to be remade on DS, it'll be nicer and you won't have to buy it twice :) )

I'd also suggest Minish Cap, M&L Superstar Saga, both Metroid games and both Boktai games (fun, but you need direct sunlight...)

Hey, another person who liked riviera. Sweet. That game was surprisingly good. I just got it on impulse and enjoyed it a lot.

MISCELLANIOUS:

(no saying that the others are bad, but i have not play them and i`m not a fan of FF)

Add to those:

All the CV ( i`m a fan - as you can say thx to my sign - but beside that, AoS and CotM are amazing. HoD is also really good, but no as great as the other 2 imo)

Mario and Luigi superstar saga

also If you do not have a wii/no planning on getting one also: the legend of zelda (NES)

hope that helps

EDIT: check this thread I think the list there is pretty good and you may see something else that you like :D

Don't forget to add Astroboy: Omega Factor and Metal Slug Advance to the mix. Both are quite cheap now.

Well Zelda: Minish Cap is obviously a must. Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission are both amazing. FFVI is another great game for GBA. Pokemon Emerald and FR/LG were both a lot of fun, if you're into that kind of game. And the Golden Sun games ohhhh *shivers* two of the best RPG's I've ever played. If you like RPG's you owe it to yourself to play these games.

The original WarioWare, Astro Boy, Fire Emblem, and Advance Wars were my four favorite GBA games. Also, the Super Robot Taisen games are supposed to be good but I still haven't gotten around to playing them. Nintendo needs to re-release a budget line of GBA and GC games and cash in on backwards compatibility. I'm tired of inflated Ebay prices on last gen games. :evil:

I liked Megaman Battle Network 1 and 2. Sadly, after these two parts this saga become repetitive. Just like the Power Rangers series when I was a kid....lol!!! The list that many people is quoting has the excellent games for the GBA.

Hm...the Super Mario Advance games are good. I still have fun playing Super Mario World on my DS.

If you have any Sonic Advance games, those are very good for Sonic games, except that Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis which is all WTF M8?!?!?!?!?!?!

And the Pokemon games...little explanation there too. My GBA collection is somewhat short, but it has good games there.

Mario and Luigi: Super Star Saga.

Great RPG game, and it takes a long time to complete. It's got a DS sequel, too.

LoZ: Minish Cap

A top-notch Zelda game and hella fun to play.

Advance Wars.

Great strategy game, and also a ton of fun.
