GBA Recommendation Thread

I´ve never been a huge fan of the DS, so I decided to skip buying it and instead sticking with my GBA. Although games are getting harder and harder to find, they are also becoming cheaper, reason why I believe it is a good idea to build a solid collection of GBA titles. This thread is to recommend the best of them, of any genre (I am personally trying to complete my collection, so any help would be appreciated).

Dude, I can't believe no one has mentioned WarioWare: Micro Minigames. It's probably the game I played most on GBA. If you've played any of the WarioWare games, you'll know what to expect, except this one is the original. If you haven't, prepare yourself for a totally crazy, fun game. WarioWare: Twisted was the follow up with a built-in tilt sensor, and while it's also cool, I still think the original is better.

The WarioWare games are solid. Try to look for a copy of AstroBoy.

There have been a lot of suggestions on games that I would say, so instead I'm going to give a shout out to the other reason I keep my GBA SP healthy, Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. I love playing some of my originals (yes, I'm old) games, including Super Mario Land, Pokemon Puzzle League (much better than Planet Puzzle League), and Metal Gear Solid.

Oh and you need to try out all the Bit Generations games, you can only import them but they are fully in english, and you need to try R Tengoku quite a new experience

All Castlevania (especially Aria of Sorrow) and Metroid games are great on GBA. Advance Wars 1&2 are great too. There are also a lot of sweet rpgs for this system. :3

Although not actually a gba game, you can get the Phantasy Star 1,2,3 collection from play or ebay relatively cheap and they are faithful recreations of the originals. If youre into that kinda game, its well worth a look.

I like playing those games with a GameCube plugged into my projector at home, I lie in bed and playing Super Mario Land on the ceiling :P I still have my first Gameboy in excellent condition, and a mint boxed one. still sealed with it's black label.
