What are the good GBA games?

OzzyC · 12-18-2007, 05:48 PM

I kind of rediscovered that I have a Gameboy Advance SP lying around, and that I also never had many good games for it...

So, my question for you: What is there that was good for this system, and is preferably dirt cheap? I figure now is a good time, since it's been phased out, but everything is still in good supply.

I'm gonna be picking up some GBA games too, since I got a DS and they're cheap. The Castlevania games are supposed to be really good, and Zelda's are always great. Of course there's a lot of Mario games, and the Final Fantasy games are really good. Then there's Pokemon (which I love but haven't played since the Game Boy Color days, part of the reason for getting the DS). There's probably a lot more...

Rock'N Roll Racing kicked ass. Its a SNES conversion. i played the SHIT out of that game back in the day.

Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid Fusion, all of the Castlevania titles, Zelda Minish Cap, Metal Slug. You could also pick up Zelda Oracle of the Ages and Oracle of the Seasons for GB Color to play on the Advance. Those two games are lacking a little in graphics but they are extremely fun and involving.

Zelda: A Link to the Past.
All the old mario games.
Super Ghouls and Ghosts (!)

Any of the old Final Fantasy series are definitely worth a look. Plenty of gameplay in them, so plenty of stuff to do. Fire Emblem is always worth checking out too.

- Advance Wars is awesome
- Fire Emblem
- Mega Man Zero if you're into the sidescroller stuff, trickier than your usual Mega Man game
- The Final Fantasy remakes are alright, I'd hold out for the 3D remake of FFIV though
- Metroid Zero Mission, nice amount of replayability on that and Fusion too which wasn't as good but still enjoyable
- Castlevania games
- Golden Sun, best console styled RPG to come out in a very long time on a portable. The second is just amazing.

Advance Wars 1 &2
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Fire Emblem
