help me pick out a new GBA game, please!

Hi! I am ready for a new GBA game, but don't know what to get. I was hoping someone could reccomend a good game that I might like, based on what I have enjoyed in the past year:

all the marios
both metroids
prince of persia
astro boy
the sonic games
all the castlevanias

is there anything that strikes you as similar? thanks!

Not really similar to what you've mentioned, but both Golden Sun games, and both Advance Wars games are generally considered to be excellent.

Banjo Kazooie might fit there, it's about a 6-10 hour game depending on how much you go after. Mario vs. Donkey Kong is another good one.

You already played most of the good ones.

I'm thinking Advance Wars 2 or Zelda a Link to the Past.

You might like Wario Ware if you haven't already played it.

If you like turnbased RPG, you might like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I'm playing this game a lot recently.

advance wars 1 i think is better than #2. and "mario & luigi" is a pretty damn good rpg. and warioware is a good for short bursts of gaming. thumbs up on all those recommendations

I'm just biding time until the next Zelda in November, myself.

You owe it to yourself to check out Warioware. There's nothing else like it, and it's a lot of fun.

Unlike everyone else, I'll actually recommend a game based on your criteria and say Mega Man and Bass or the Zero games are worth your time.
