Aw, man, don't make me go digging through my stash of GBA games... so many good ones.
Drill Dozer is fantastic, though, and although spectacularly rare, Ninja Five-O is as well.
List: Best 30 GBA games (whats in your pocket?)
Re: List: Best 30 GBA games (whats in your pocket?)
Sorry, I couldn't begin to honestly start with a list of JUST 30 when there's so much good stuff out there.
For me, the question is, what's in the plastic bag I keep most of my games in?
MISSING: River City Ransom EX, Konami Krazy Racers, Warioware Twisted, Mario Golf Advanced Tour, Pinball Challenge Deluxe, Racing 4 Pack, and Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga
Any of those and the following I would nominate in a heartbeat -
Basically, this isn't gonna be easy. I think we need a definitive list for the community, but I just love the GBA too much!

I used to keep all my GBA games in plastic zip lock bags but I have amassed so many that it sucks I have to dump the bag out to find what I want to play so I ended up buying trading card sleeves and putting them in a Binder, works really slick.

Dragonball Advanced Adventure is the greatest unsung title on the GBA.
Also, please go ahead and put Warioland 4 somewhere in the top 5 so we can get that out of the way.
Another superlative title that requires no debate: Castlevania: Circle of the Moon

Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Dragonball Advance Adventure is great, I forgot about that one, but is it better than Buu's Fury or Super Sonic Warriors?Flake wrote:Dragonball Advanced Adventure is the greatest unsung title on the GBA.

Re: List: Best 30 GBA games (whats in your pocket?)
I hardly see any GBA games when I'm out and about so I only have 3: Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town, and Yggdra Union.
I haven't played too much of Mineral Town, but it didn't seem bad to me so I won't argue against it ha. Haven't played Yggdra Union at all but I heard it's better on the PSP anyway.

Mother 3 should be first on everyone's list. This game is brilliant. I'm 26 hours in and closing in on the end at least I think.

You can also go ahead and add Astro Boy: Omega Factor to the list. It is easily the GBA's best action game. So long as it makes the list, I will be happy.Flake wrote:Also, please go ahead and put Warioland 4 somewhere in the top 5 so we can get that out of the way.

Re: List: Best 30 GBA games (whats in your pocket?)
the list is not in a particular order of which game is the best, and yes I forgot about Astro Boy, please tell me what it should replace on the list? come on people don't just say what games should be on the list, also say what it should replace and why.prfsnl_gmr wrote:You can also go ahead and add Astro Boy: Omega Factor to the list.

Should the two Kirby games be on there? Nightmare in Dreamland is a port of the NES game, should it be chosen over the GBA original Amazing Mirror?
