Best Game Boy Advance Game

This is the highest honor that we bestow upon a Game Boy Advance game, and with it we acknowledge the one game that stands out from all the rest as being the greatest, most highly recommendable game of the year. Nintendo's handheld game system had a strong 2004, with an array of extremely good games. In considering this category, we weighed each game's various accomplishments and evaluated everything from its technical merits and its story to its lasting value and its impact on the industry. Though, of course, the sheer level of fun and entertainment each game provides is what ends up being the most important factor.
