I found a Game Boy Micro at a Goodwill store... (game recommendations?)
After wanting one of these for long, but never being willing to actually put down the money for one since I never really saw the point in it, I bought this yesterday. I walked into the closest local Goodwill store while on my lunch break and as soon as I walked in I walked up to the glass display right up front and instantly saw this on top and immediately asked to look at it. All I saw was this big thing in that plastic with the white paper on top, and when I saw it said "mini" I was hoping that when I opened it it would actually be a GBM. I ripped it open, and sure enough it was! It didn't power on right away, so I asked if I could plug it in with the charger and it worked. I have let it charge up and it seems good to go now, holding a charge and all. It's too bad the games suck and are just two little kid games, but I finally got a GBM, and I got it for just $15!
I have fully charged it, and it held the charge overnight so it looks like I'm totally good to go. I have also tested all of the buttons and they all seem to work just fine from testing it with the Avatar and Madagascar games that came with it.
Now I just need some games for it that are actually worth playing. What games do you guys recommend that are actually great to play on the GBM?
I used to have a GBA so I'm familiar with the library, I am more interested in which games may be best for this specific piece of hardware, that's all. I thought maybe certain games looked and played better than others maybe, I don't know.
This may sound crazy, but the first game I want to try to find for cheap again is Kuru Kuru Kururin!

You bastard.
Zelda: The Minish Cap
Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Mario Advance 1-4...
That's all I can think of. I've been looking for one of these forever.

Thanks for the recommendations so far.
Oddly enough, I was just cleaning out a box on our Ikea shelf and I found some of my old GBA games that I forgot I still owned. I found...
-Super Gunstar Heroes
-The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
-Wario Ware: Twisted!
So I at least have some other things to play on it for the time being.
