Metroid Fusion,Metroid Zero Mission

Golden Sun games

But that's just me,and i could think more if i wanted to.

Yoshi's Island has the best GBA graphics IMO.

Here are what I would call the "graphical elite" of the GBA...

Minish Cap

Aria of Sorrow

Metroid Fusion

Gunstar Super Heroes

Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga

Those are what I would consider to be the top five best looking games on the GBA. Minish Cap really had incredible production values. The graphics looked incredible as did the animations and it sounded damn great. Same with the other games on that list but nothing even compares to Minish Cap IMO.

Golden Sun is pretty incredible for GBA as is Minish Cap. Another one that hasn't been mentione is Driver 2. Not the best game in the universe but really impressive how well it compares to console versions. Driv3r looks even better based on YouTube videos but I've never played it personally.

The best graphics I've seen on the system are from a little-known gem called "Wade Hixton's Counter Punch." It was inspired by classic Punch-Out.

No ports really, REALLY limits this list. I mean it's a handheld system. That's kind of the point, to bring the home gaming experience to the palm of your hands.

Not on the GBA. Plenty of games not ports. The problem is those are some of the highest rated gameson the system.

I believe Ice Nine has some amazing graphics for the GBA, the only issue is, it could possibly be considered a port. It was also supposed to released on the PS2 of which there was apparently a partial game there, but the PS2 version was cancelled. Would that count as a port then? If Ice Nine does count as a port, then I would like to instead nominate Astro Boy Omega Factor. The sprites don't look so good up close (the game magnifies them on occasion), but viewed at their normal size the game looks very nice.
