[Hillsy_]

just finished Castlevania : Harmony of Dissonance, its an essential for GBA.

Agreed, super game! My list to add,

Advance Wars 1 & 2
Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow
Castlevania Circle of the Moon
Fire Emblem 1 & 2
Mario Kart Super Circuit
Yggdra Union
Metroid Fusion
Iridion 1 & 2
Shining Force Resurrection of the Dark Dragon


Some games I haven't added because really they were made popular through the Super Nintendo.

Just finished both games and they are awesome
-Hachiemon (Thanks to shaunj66 for his "Hachiemon, dude!". Wonderful pixel art, one of the best platformers)
-Slime Morimori Dragon Quest - Shougeki no Shippo Dan

 

[GeekShadow]

I will add Gyakuten series for Japanese users

 

[DespizingU]

Which version of Kuru Kuru Kururin should I grab? I've found a Jap and Eur release. So the Eur should have some English in it, right? Both versions are the same besides the language?

Thanks.

+1 needs to be an essential. wish it wasn't so hard... but then it wouldn't be megaman.

its already at recommended stage, so that should be updated.

and why isn't rythm tengoku in the essentials? don't know anyone thats played it that didn't absolutely love it.

Post your essential (favourite) GameBoy Advance games in this topic and they'll be added to the list, for others to refer to when deciding which game to play.

If there is a game already on the list that you think should not be there let me know and it'll have a point removed (so if there are more negative than positive votes then the game will be removed entirely off the list).

You may also recommend some more games in a future post but: (1) you must not repeat any game you have already mentioned and (2) you must make a new post, do NOT edit your previous post as it may not be seen.
