What GBA games are you still playing?

I'm currently playing Tetris Worlds, Denki Blocks (MUST BUY), and the original WarioWare. I have many more GBA games and I rotate between them. I've put hundreds of hours into the first Advance Wars (the best of the series IMHO) and all the Mario Advances except Yoshi's Island. Metroid Fusion is fun also. What are you still playing GBA-wise?

Super Robot Taisen Original Generation 1&2
Summon Night: Swordcraft Story
I also still need to play through FF IV, V and VI

I have a lot of GBA games I have finished that I still go back and play as well.

I mostly play Advance Wars and Super Mario World, but for quick games I also like Ms Pac Man and Sonic Spinball.

Super Robot Taisen 1 has been sucking up all my free time. I have 2, but for the first time in a long time I've felt compelled to play through a game twice, so I'm holding off on 2 until I beat Ryosuke's last stage.

After that, I'm looking forward to Super Robot Taisen 2, Summon Night 2 (skipped the first one), Final Fantasy IV and V (and VI when it gets cheaper) and Yggdra Union. I love my DS Lite, but the Micro is perfect for GBA gaming.

Yah, I need to get back to playing SRT OG 2 as well. I want to finish Drill Dozer and get further in Ninja Five-O. Just got Fire Emblem Sacre Stones recently so I need to play that as well. Too many games.

Oh yeah my Game Boy Micro is always seeing plenty of playtime! My current rotation of GBA games are:

Kuru Kuru Kururin
Super Mario World
Ware Ware, Inc. Microgames

I'm also thinking of picking up TMNT GBA because it looks like an amazing old-school beat'em up.

Also recently ordered a few of the bit generation titles, after watching some gameplay vids on youtube. Why weren't these brought out here?

Have to get back to Drill Dozer too, almost completely forgot about that one. And every once in a while I put in Astro Boy just to play through some levels again.

I just started Final Fantasy:Tactics Advanced again. One of my all time favorites, handheld or console.

Yup, I played that one too. I liked it, but I haven't felt a need to play it again since finishing it. If FFTA had unlimited missions I'd probably be playing it 20 years from now. Yeah...I like the game that much.

i know my one friend i lent FFTA to put in at LEAST 400+ hours before I demanded that he either purchase the game from me, or give it back.

It was the only game he played for 6 months + (if you can believe that)

after i got the game back, the sticker on the cart was so grody..... it was bad

Damn. I don't know if I've hit 400 but I'm probably close to 200. I can't even say what it is that makes me like it so much. I enjoyed FFT for PS1 too but not nearly as much for some reason.

i think you might be interested in it, once they re-release it for the PSP, with new playable characters, as well as a new class (onion knight)

Yeah, forgot about the new GoW. As much as Oblivion sounds good in concept, I really don't know how they'll translate to a machine with one analog stick. I'll have to wait on reviews of that one first.

Yup, I picked up TMNT for GBA and it is a truly awesome beat'em up! It is very similar to the GBA's SW: Revenge of the Sith, both UbiSoft games (and probably by the same developer). Sith is one of my favorite GBA games.

Besides TMNT, I have also been playing Metroid Fusion. I recently played through SW: Apprentice of the Force and Metroid: Zero Mission, two other really fun games.

Super Dodge Ball Advance. Always...I worship that game. I don't care how many times I beat it, I just keep playing it...

Other than that, Castlevania and Mario Advance 4:SMB3.

Dodge Ball is one of those "play at any time" kind of titles. Very replayable.

The remake of River City Ransom is always a good one to pick up too.
