Pokemon Emerald, sadly.
Yep, same here, along with FireRed/LeafGreen. They really are great games, a lot of people dismiss them because they think they're 'childish' or something, and I just don't see how it matters. Awesome games are awesome games.
Also, I absolutely loved Super Mario Advance for some strange reason.

Golden Sun 2 would have to be my favorite.

Why? Well the sheer scope of it, and story were great. I really love large rpg worlds, and the Golden Sun world lived up to that. The sprite graphics are beautiful. Shall I go on? I don't think I've beaten any rpg other than Shining Force 2 as many times as the Golden Sun series..

this. definitely this.

Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age

These are the best RPGs on the system, as everyone here says, and perhaps the best RPGs of all time on any system. They're not groundbreaking or revolutionary, but they're polished, fun, and pretty flawless

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

This game has it's flaws, but it's strengths make up for it by far. It's horribly addictive, though. The only other game that forced me to stay up all night is maybe PC Civilization II or III. Not terribly challenging from a tactical standpoint in the way Advance Wars can be (another good game, by the way), this game is more about collecting and developing.

Warioland 4

The big flaw of this game is that it's much much much too short. But that's the ONLY flaw. This has great music, great controls, each level is distinct and yet internally consistent in concept, visual design, and is often terribly clever. It combines slow platform exploration and stressful run-like-hell moments. What a great game. My favorite 2-D platformer, and a game that is all too often overlooked.

Rhythm Heaven is probably my most played GBA game. Has some of my favorite music of all time, and is a real challenge.

Rhythm Heaven is a DS game.

No, my friend you are the one who is mistaken. It was a Japanese GBA game years before.

The game "Rhythm Heaven" we got for DS was called Rhythm Tengoku Gold in Japan. Here it is just called Rhythm Heaven. The original Rhythm Tengoku (heaven) never made it to US.

In fact the GBA version is much better IMO. Check it out.

Mine would have to be both of the Golden Sun games.

I also loved the Zelda and Pokemon games aswell.

Haven't played any GBA in ages though, but i'll play loads of it when i get my EZflash 3-in-1 soon.

Golden Sun and The Lost Age, really I consider it one game. IMO it's the best RPG ever made. After all these years it's still my favorite game.

Metroid Zero Mission, and Metroid Fusion.
Followed by Boktai, boktai 2, and then boktai 3.
Advance Wars and Fire Emblem are good too, but fire emblem, I find, is tedious.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
