The Best GBA Games for Today

Here's the latest in one of my favorite series:

I love looking objectively at the library of older platforms and picking out titles that are still relevant today. This is especially applicable for a portable platform that is backwards compatible like the DS and GBA.

If all you do is let me down, well the article is a success. The fact they were on the Hidden Gems is good enough. Actually a link to the Hidden Gems article would probably be a better idea than anything I could whip up in the next five minutes.

What fun is a link?

It doesn't have to be right away. (And you don't have to if you don't want)
Whatever works out for you. I can always add to it.
I just figure if you're interested in the game enough to make a fuss, you could write a bit about it

I'd suggest WarioWare Twisted even if Touched exists. The built-in gyroscope control makes it a completely unique experience over the other WarioWare games.

In the UK it's somewhat pricy unfortunately - it wasn't released in Europe, so it's not too common in ebay UK

It's the only "special" cart I'm missing. I've got Yoshi and 2 Boktais (well, I learned recently about a third Boktai, but I don't know japanese).

Racket, I think you should include Boktais and tilt sensor games there at least as honorably mentions. The DS has the touch screen but no games like this.

I think that you could do a similar article but with the GBC instead of the GBA. Althogh I guess it might be strecthing it a bit.
