What are the top ten Gameboy Advance games?
 

I have owned a GBA since it came out, but I found myself put off by the visibility issue. I had a worm light, but it really didn't work very well. Whenever I found a good bright light, I could see the screen but the glare made it even harder to see. In fact it got to the point where I didn't even want to play it anymore. Now with the release of the GBA SP (which I will be getting soon), I am interested in getting back into GBA, but I haven't been keeping up on game releases. The only two games I own are Mario Advance (the first one) and Mario Kart. As soon as I get my SP I will probably buy a handful of games, so what I'd like is to hear your top ten favorite GBA games. A few that I am interested in are the Castlevania games (played and loved CotM), the other two Mario Advance games, Super Monkey Ball, Zelda, Metroid Fusion, and Virtua Tennis. Do any of these games make anyone's top ten list?

Metroid is great. So is Advance Wars. :thumbsup:

Do a thread search...we've had at least 4 of these threads in the last month or two.

Advance Wars is awesome, Kanaarj Rally is fun for $10.

i got my GBA about a month ago, the games i've liked so far (in no particular order):

<b>Advance Wars</b> - was heavily addicted to this for about a week, really burnt myself out, though
<b>Metroid: Fusion</b> - just excellent. old school metroid. very awesome.
<b>Golden Sun</b> - i've been playing this intensively for about a week now. very fun.

the games i haven't had enough time with yet:
<b>Mario Kart</b> - very similar to N64 game. a lot of fun.
<b>Motocross Maniacs Advance</b> - i loved the original GB version

games for GBColor that i've only played a little (due to already being deeply immersed in Golden Sun) and can therefore make no comment on:
<b>Zelda - Oracle of Seasons</b>
<b>Zelda - Oracle of Ages</b>

games that i have not liked so far:
<b>Castlevania - Circle of the Moon</b> - i think i've outgrown Castlevania. it just doesn't hold my interest.

Th reason I bought a GBA in the first place was for Super Dodge Ball. I worship that game. And I also love Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo...

I'm playing Castlevania:Harmony of Dissonance right now. I like it quite a bit. It reminds me alot of Castlevania:Symphony of the Night for the Playstation 1 if you have played that one. Also Castlevania:Aria of Sorrow comes out may 7th or so to. Megaman games are always good if somewhat repetitive.

Ahem so far Pokemon Ruby version is kinda neat if your into that kind of game... Can look for Phantasy Star Collection if your into retro role playing games. 1&2 are great 3 is a stinker though. Can't forget The Legend of Zelda:Lttp great game heh. Super Puzzle Fighter 2 was just released as well.

I never owned the GameBoy Advance but i just recently picked up my SP and im hooked. So far i have these games and i recommend them all:

Street Fighter Alpha 3
Final Fight One
Metroid Fusion
The Pinball of the Dead

Im also looking to get both the Castlevania games before the 3rd is released. As a matter of fact, the SP has got me on such a high, that i went on Ebay the other day and purchased me a NES so i can play some of the ol' greats. Ninja Gaiden, now those are games that need to be released on GBA!

My current "heavy rotation list":

Moto Racer Advance: For racing, i don't think you can beat this. A behind-the-bike high-speed racer (in the OutRun genre) with 3 types of racing (motoX, streetbike, and 'traffic') and *tons* of tracks.

Pinball of the Dead: Me like Pinball. Dead good.

Karnaaj Rally: Very fun overhead racer, keeps you coming back for 'one more race'!

Advance Wars: Less hectic than action games, very adictive.

Konami Arcade Advanced: Edges out Namco Museum for best arcade collection. Who can argue with Gyruss, Scramble and Time Pilot? Many folks will like it for Frogger (not my fave). The enhanced modes are a bonus.

Doom/Duke Nukem: Playing good-quality FPS's on a handheld is a fun option, plain 'n' simple.

My favorite is "Not ANOTHER One of these Threads...It's Time for a STICKY!" I think it's put out by Capcom.

Please close this thread.

:up:

Yet another HILARIOUS zinger from the almighty groucho...

Good call there, lordzep. Super Dodge Ball really rocks. I stumbled upon it by accident and becase instantly addicted. I thought I was the only one to ever play it.

Although opinions will vary, most of the games listed here should be solid choices.
