Best GBA brain games?

Post by noiseredux »

still xmas shopping. What are some good brain games released on GBA? Obviously I know the big puzzlers like Tetris and Dr. Mario, etc. But what are some more obscure thinking games? So far I've found Dr. Soduko and I Spy Challenger. And I think there's a Scrabble.

It's Mr Pants, Mr Driller 2, "Japan only Bit Generations" are great and not very well known. And then there is the well known Wario Ware also great.

You could always go for the Dr. Mario & Puzzle League combo cart.

Bookworm and Polarium Advance are fun.

I was looking at Bookworm -- it goes for a lot of $ apparently. But yeah, it looks like something my wife would love.

Have you seen Ultimate Card Games? Not sure if it counts as a brain game, but it's worth every penny if you can find a copy.

Also, ChuChu Rocket is incredible. There is a lot of action gameplay, but also hundreds and hundreds of fiendish puzzles to solve. It was a launch title so many people forgot about it... but one of the best games on GBA.

You could always go Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics too - but it doesn't sound like those are what you wanted.

Yeah Ultimate Brain Games, Ultimate Board Games, etc... great series, but again they're expensive!

FF Tactics is one of my favorite FAVORITE games. But my wife wouldn't be into that sort of thing.
