Best Game Boy Advance Game

Recommended Posts

I've been playing my GBA again, and with it nearing the end of its run, I started to wonder waht the best game for the system is. Any opinions?

I'm really enjoying Final Fantasy I & II Dawn of Souls right now. I also like Mario & Luigi's Superstar Saga.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow are on my list.

 

For re-released games, Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, as well as Mario Advance 4: Mario Bros. 3 (NES), which also included a new feature: New levels when using E-Reader game cards.

The best on GBA begins and ends with Astro Boy.

 

Let me give you this simple equation.

 

One of the most well known, and arguably best mangas/animes + Treasure + Sega in a side scrolling action game.

 

If y'dont know Treasure, the bottom line is that the game kicks more ass than humanly possible.

 

Mario & Luigi is pretty good, too. The game can be awkward at times (The whole Hand Power bit comes to mind), but it's pretty fun. The battles are rewarding, but pretty easy, too.

I'd probably rank a top three as:

 

1. Advance Wars

2. Mario Kart: Super Circuit

3. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

 

Honorable Mention: Metroid Fusion, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Fire Emblem

Metroid: Zero Mission is pretty dang good.

But compared to plenty of other GBA games, as well as Super Metroid/Prime, it's painfully mediocre. It isn't as lame as Fusion, and it's 2 games in one, but hardly the best GBA game.

 

It's currently winning the GBA game of the year poll on GameFAQs. Fools.

 

My personal vote would go to either one of the latter CVs on GBA (I'm one of the few that actually prefers Harmony to Aria, though), or Astroboy.

 

Honorable mention to Wario Ware, Inc., Mario vs. DK, and DKC2 was a great game on SNES so I'd assume it still is on GBA.

- Fire Emblem is pretty good, tried it while I was at work, got me liking it.

- Zelda : Link to the past

- Legend of Zelda

- I've been hearing Final fantasy dawn of souls and Kingdom Hearts are pretty good

- Advance wars 2

- And the new Legend of Zelda; The Minish Cap is looking pretty good.
