Best Role-Playing Game on Game Boy Advance, Nominees

One of the strongest genres for Nintendo's portable handheld system is the role-playing game. These games ideally offer a great deal of lasting value and aren't so action-intensive that they can't conveniently be played on the go. On top of that, a number of GBA role-playing games offer surprisingly rich stories and deep gameplay. The following five games are our nominees for our 2002 Best Role-Playing Game on Game Boy Advance award:
