Maybe Densetsu no Starfy? Just a guess though.

Thats kind of an interesting story because (and correct me if im wrong) we really only had the latest game available officially in english until a recent re-release. I remember playing the former at a demo kiosk at target as a kid although that was for the DS. I think Starfy had some trophies in the Smash games as well.

Drill Dozer

If you played a lot of Gen 3 Pokemon, you will recornize A LOT of sound effects. It's really interesting hearing these familiar sound effects in other game than Pokemon

Oh, I'm not sure but it could be possible the game got a re-release like you mentioned.

kinda hard to choose ngl, because i feel like you'll find discussion of almost all of the massive amount of great games on the GBA, from sonic advance (though its rather controversial...) to almost all of its RPGs, etc.

One I see very little discussion of is Phantasy Star Collection. I love the original PS games, but sadly I don't see much discussion of them in general. And well, they're on the GBA, and thus are some of the best RPGs available on the system.

There are also primitive Celeste games available. There's the original pico-8 classic Celeste, but also a fan made Celeste 2. TMK someone's trying to port the full game to the GBA too, though that'll certainly take a bit and won't really match the original in form. I played classic, it's similar formula and thus a good time.

There's also fullmetal alchemist RPGs but I've not played'em yet so no comment.

Ao No Tengai/Oriental Blue is a Japan only jrpg with a decent English translation. It's sort of free roaming with inspiration from the SaGa series. It's set in a fairly neat setting inspired by various Asian mythologies.

Hidden gems and then I'm reading stuff like Sonic Advance and Mother 3. Guys, you ok.
Tbh even stuff like Golden Sun duology. I can understand (maybe) Drill Dozer, Magical Vacation, the Klonoa games, Tomato Adventure (Alphadream's prior work before M&L) but others uuh...ok but thanks to this thread I discovered there is a Zone of the Enders for GBA.

...don't tell me you would consider Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure a hidden gem.

 

[thumbsdown]

Konami Krazy Racers is another gem!
