Any good gba games?

I just got back into the GBA and i hate the DS, I know theres alot of games for it but i just want to know what the good ones are. All I have is Golden Sun for now, money isnt really an object because most gba games are cheap.

Advance Wars 1 & 2

Kingdom Hearts - Chains of Memories

Mario and Luigi - Superstar Saga

Fire Emblem

DBZ - Legacy of Goku Series (II and Buu's Fury in particular)

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

metroid fusion

metroid zero mission

zelda minish cap

castlevania aria of sorrow

castlevania harmony of dissonance

castlevania circle of the moon

There aren't any good GBA games, 'cause that thing is not good at all.. Just throw it away and get a PS3 or something, or if you can't.. then stop playing!!:(Driv5r

It's a shame when kids these days can't appreciate good 2d video games. The GameBoy Advance is a nice system, don't listen to this fanboy.

• All Metroid games
• Zelda games
• Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga
• Super Mario Advance
• Super Mario World
• Yoshi Island
• Super Mario Bros. 3
• Mario Kart Super Circuit
• Final Fantasy Series
• Donkey Kong Country 1,2,3
• Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2,3,4, etc.
• Wario Land 4

The Final Fantasies

Castlevania series

The Minish Cap

Donkey Kong Country Series

Klonoa: Empire of dreams

Metroids

yeah there are a good # of GBA games. some of the games I personally like are

Classic NES Series: Super Mario Bros.

Classic NES Series: Legend of Zelda

Pacman collection

Final Fight One

Tekken Advance

Mario Kart Super Circuit

Wolfenstein 3d

true the GBA is an old handheld now, with very poor 3d capabilities, but the 2d games run perfect and look great.

Everyone named off a bunch of good games, so instead of repeating them, I am going to add a few they missed.

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror

Kirby Nightmare in Dream Land (Remake of Kirby's Adventure for NES)

F-Zero Maximum Velocity

F-Zero GP Legend

If you are looking for getting the most bang for your buck you should go with Pokemon or Fire Emblem.

My recommendations out of the games listed above are #1 Metroid Zero Mission (This was second favorite Metroid game next to Super Metroid) #2 Zelda The Minish Cap (This is one of the better Zelda games in my opinion) #3 Castlevania Double Pack (If you can find this guy, it comes with Harmony of Dissonance and Aria of Sorrow) .

Hey, c'mon! Why did you report me to the moderators just for saying GBA isn't a good console!
They removed points from me! What's wrong with you?!?!Driv5r

You probably got reported for, well, "intending solely to annoy or offend other users." When somebody is asking for game recommendations for a specific console, telling them that said console is bad fits that description.

the first sonic advance is a great game. its much better than the 2nd and the 3rd. plus, pretty much any castlevania game for the gba is good too.

Ive enjoyed all the sonic advance games.

Advance wars is pretty fun.

Cant skip pokemon ;)

Super Mario World 2

Astro Boy: Omega Factor. Not even an Astro Boy fan, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes beat-em-ups and/or shoot-em-ups. It's a side-scrolling brawler/shmup hybrid by Treasure (makers of Gunstar Heroes, Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, and many more). Excellent game. Tight controls, hard-but-fair difficulty, incredibly unique boss fights (especially later on when you fight the World's Strongest Robots), and a surprisingly rich, engrossing story.

Mario and Luigi Super Star Saga, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Zelda the Minish Cap, Wario Land 4, all of the Super Mario Brothers Advance games, Zelda a Link to the Past/ Four Swords, Pokemon 3rd generation (Ruby Sapphire Emerald) Pokemon Firered/ Leafgreen, Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Star Wars Epizode 3 (you better beleive it!)... all for now.

Funny how many people get duped by this kind of revival, isn't it? People, CHECK THE DATES ON THE THREAD YOU'RE RESPONDING TO.

:lol:

But to contribute, I'll echo TallDude's post and say that the iD Software games ("DOOM", "DOOM II", & "Wolfenstein 3D") are all fantastic on the GBA. Still tote them around and play them often!

:)

Super Mario Advance 2 & 4

Pokemon FireRed & Sapphire

Doom 2

Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance

any Castlevainia game

Mario Kart

Capcom Classics Mini Mix

Sorry, didnt see the date. ACCIDENTAL REVIVAL. :oops:

Lots of great ones, especially RPGs and Platformers.  It was a great system for me as I didn't play a lot of the SNES games before when the GBA released so it pretty much felt like a portable SNES to me.  Anyways, the games I'd recommend are:

Advance Wars 1/2

Castlevania Aria of Sorrow/Circle of the Moon

F-Zero Maximum Velocity

Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones

Golden Sun

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror

Mario Kart Super Circuit

Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga

Metroid Fusion/Zero Mission 

Pokemon Ruby/Fire Red

Wario Land 4

And if you haven't played any of the SNES games, definitely pick those up.

Mother 3 is amazing. The battle system is pretty basic, but the world is so unique, the story strikes such a balance between humor and quirkiness and emotion, and there is actually quite a bit of depth to it by videogame story standards. The music is also extremely unique.

Are we sure TC is still on this forum? :P
