Gaming The NEW! [Essentials] Gameboy Advance

Banjo Pilot

Zelda (series)

no. Minish cap is the best game on the system. Or top 10 at the very least

 

[Leeka]

I have to support those : Sword of Mana, Mother 1+2 and Super Ghouls and Ghost.

Also Metroid games !!

For me, Mario Kart Super Circuit and the remake of Kirby's Adventure (Kirby - Nightmare in Dreamland) are tied as the best GBA game.

Yu-Gi-Oh ultimate masters 2006 and Duel Academy

Ultimate Masters 06 being a good game for people used to old school Yugioh and Duel Academy being a life sim/duel simulator

I'm stuck in the 2nd game, near the beginning too where you have to climb a cliff wall and avoid mini tornados knocking you off.

Could never one time get past moving the boulders to progress, I used a gameplay video to help.

I still need to play through the 3rd game on NDS. But I have to beat game #2 first.

Smashing Drive.

A 3D polygon arcade game ported to the GBA, and they did a pretty good job!

Quite impressive for the GBA at the time. I actually quite enjoyed it.

I've owned "Scurge: Hive" for a while, buying it used as a loose cartridge about 15 years ago after the DS had become huge, and never really played it until recently...

I must say, it's definitely an underrated title, at least graphically! My only complaint so far about the play is the same many other isometric games share in term of alignment and d-pad control, but the structure is nice, the bosses have interesting mechanics, and the "Metroid: Fusion"-like infection mechanic adds to the sense of agency, pushing the player forward in almost a "DOOM 2016" way...

I would hope it can get up to "recommended", as it's little known and if I have definitely under-appreciated it, so have others.

I know they're already up there but I wanted to give another vote on Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Warioware Inc. - Mega Microgames! I genuinely think Aria of Sorrow is the perfect video game and I want to see it climb as high as possible on any list like this.

You got to add another point for Kirby and the amazing mirror + Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure. That's the most fun I've had on the system so far.

Advance Guardian Heroes is a HELLUVA GOAT on GBA!

Also, c'mon people, Super Dodge Ball Advance is another absolute gold!

Also, Guilty Gear X - proper music from the big titles. Aggressive Inline - shorter version of full songs as well!

The Huge Adventure is indeed pretty good and almost close to the original trilogy, too bad we haven't had more like it with the same gameplay (2D) style, but instead we got a load of meh 3d titles since that on the GBA & DS..

 

[BlazeHeatnix]

+1 Double Dragon Advance
+1 Ninja Five-O

Additionally, I want to add the hot take that the Super Mario Advance series is the best versions of those games (yes, even Yoshi's Island).

 

[KirboUI]

The truth is that the Game Boy Advance is one of my favorite consoles.

 

[Jayro]

Shantae: Risky Revolution!

This game is incredible, and would have been one of the best selling GBA games of all time had it not been cancelled.

Is the screen crunch that bad on the gba for the Mario Advance series ?
