It has Warioware Twisted on it. The list is officially legit. (then I read later and it also had the first WW game, good on them)

I say those are all good titles to start with.

As long as it's got both WW games and Mario & Luigi, it's a good list. The rest is just icing on the cake.

It's tough to rank GBA games, as so many of the good ones are ports and remakes.

Final Fantasy V and Tactics ranked ahead of VI?! Blasphemy.

Oh and I agree that Riviera: The Promised Land should be on there. Such a great game.

How about DragonBall: Advance Adventure? That's one of the best side-scrolling beat-em-ups I've ever played along with the GBA One Piece game. Let's just leave it that all of Banpresto's games are awesome, 'cause they are.

I'm not sure if you're counting remakes or not, but Kirby's NightMare In Dreamland ought to be on there. That and Rayman Advance, which is a direct port and with it being my first Gameboy game, I'm a bit biased towards it. But either way, I thought it to be a great port of a great game.

FFV was more fun than FFVI to meDidn't even bother to finish FFVI, had the entire sense of "been there, done that" when playing it. FFV is a joy from head to toe because you can mix and match abilities.

This list is too heavy on the easy go-to titles. It doesn't take any risks or name any dark horse candidates. Seems like a weak fluff piece to me.

I think that most lists are this way. To me, only the "tail end" of a list like this is interesting because that is generally the only spot where the author had the discretion to pull in some hidden gems.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is an absolutely awesome GBA game. It is pretty long and not too difficult. I have played through it a few times and I find it extremely enjoyable every time. I would suggest it highly and it is only a few bucks!
I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)

Currently trying to knock off all the sports games, would like to get them <$5 each! Of course if you would like to donate them I will gladly pay the shipping! :)
