GBA Favorite GBA Games

[Blueskunky Blueskunky]

So I just got my first gameboy with street fighter 2 and Tetris

And I need some more games so recommendations would be appreciated (for an affordable price that is)

 

[Turbo Kid]

Not much you can get that's affordable these days. I'd recommend this if you actually can find it for a good price

 

[bjork]

I don't know what the first Warioware will run you nowadays, but it's great.
Ninja Five-O is worth getting a flash cart for.

 

[DjQuick2008]

Sonic advance 1 2 and 3
Mario Pinball
Sonic Pinball
F Zero both games

 

[Luz de Luna Luz de Luna Luz de Luna's icon]

Klonoa: Empire Of Dreams.

Medabots AX: Metabee Version.

Any of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ones.

 

[Tonberry]

The best of them all of course!

I also recommend the Castlevania games, Golden Sun, Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland, Zelda: Minish Cap, and Metroid: Zero Mission off the top of my head
Probably either Pokémon FireRed or Pokémon Emerald too, if you're into Pokémon at all.

kinda wish the GBA had of got mario land 3

 

[RustySK]

What Tonberry said!

I'll add Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Fire Emblem and a patched Mother 3 cart to that list.
Oh and if you want something more obscure, I can also recommend Gunstar Super Heroes and Astro Boy: Omega Factor.

 

[Deleted member 3099]

I'll always recommend Fire Emblem until the day I croak.

Castlevania Aria of Sorrow and both Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission are also great.

[Turbo Kid]

 

[X y b e r - S k u ll]

Pokemon Emerald and the Metroid games like others have suggested, but I'd also recommend Onimusha Tactics, Boktai, Kuru Kuru Kururin and Kururin Paradise

 

[geckomantis]

The best thing you can get for that GBA is an Everdrive. With that you can have all the GBA games as well as NES, Master System/Game Gear, and Game Boy/Color emulators.

When I bought GBA games back then I cared about fun and time-waster games:

- Pokemon games

- Mother series

- Golden Sun series

- Mega Man Battle Network series

- Shining series like Soul and Force

[A man on a computer]

Dynasty Warriors Advance.

 

[JG509]

Almost any Mega Man Battle Network, all are really good except 1 and 4 (Just avoid them, it's not worth enduring them), just depends on which one you can find the cheapest or which one looks more interesting to you.

There's also any Mega Man Zero if you want a very difficult challenge, 3 and 4 are amazing.

Goodboy Galaxy is a must have as well it's just too awesome.

 

[Miles Miles]

Sonic Advance 1 and 3. Also SEGA Arcade Gallery.
