Best GBA GAMES

[skyknight]

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.

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.

That's one highlight of FFV, thou I will say the character development in FFVI were much better. But I do understand the monotone of one character, one trait/skill tree in FFVI and later series.

I thought FFV was a much bolder and interesting step forward in terms of gameplay from IV, than VI was from V. Still VI turned out pretty great about halfway through and its story/world is more fleshed out and captivating. The dialogue in V is just.. bleh.

To me, IV and VI were good stories (for entirely different reasons) while III and V were excellent in terms of gameplay. I don't play IV for party management, nor do I play V for its deep metaphors.

Sabrewulf is one of the finest all around games on the handheld. It is a puzzle platformer with a very good learning curve, excellent graphics, and multiple ways to solve every puzzle. And should be on any Greatest Hits List.

Car Battler Joe is one of my favorites on the console, but it is not a very well known title. Its Twisted Metal meets Pokemon and was billed as such in magazines. Sadly, Natsume released it in such small numbers that rarely people have heard of it and it never gets its due rewards. Granted its not overall top 50 material, but its a damn fun game.

But the lack of Mother 3 and Kuru Kuru Kururin - the best puzzle game on the console, is saddening. Mother 3 is take it or leave it, but Kururin is elegance.

I love the fact that Rare paid tribute to the original version of Sabre Wulf in the Killer Instinct games...

If you have played the game, there are tons of Ultimate Play the Game references, like the area names and the Atic Atac rug

WarioWare on the list, let alone twice makes me question a lot of their other choices. For some reason it's fashionable to like the WW series, but in my eyes it's one of the worst things Nintendo has ever produced.

Ranking GBA games is pretty impossible IMO.

Ranking GBA games is pretty impossible IMO.

It is actually quite easy...Here, I'l show you:

1. The Bible Game
2. Sabre Wulf
3. Every other GBA game.

See, it wasn't that hard!

There is no shortage of great games on the GBA, plus you can play old GameBoy and GB Color games as well.
