A thread about recommendations for Nintendo's beloved Game Boy line.

I'm looking for good games on the GBA. Any suggestions?

What're you looking for. The GBA has good games in every category, even FPS.

Astro Boy: Omega Factor

Yes!

Also the Warioware games.

Great Barbara
Anyway I recommend Stafy 1-3, Mother 3, and Rhythm Heaven

Fire Emblem (GBA, The 7th one, and first to come to America.) and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (Also GBA, the 8th game.), two pretty awesome strategy RPG games, Sacred Stones is more player friendly, but the 7th one is more challenging, and more alike to the other 6 previous ones in the series.

@Otaku Mother 3 doesn't exist in physical, non-Japanese form. Also, I don't feel like bawling an ocean of tears. >_<

@Canis Anything really. Although, I already own all the Pokemon games. If I don't one right now, then I probably did at some point.

dont listen to anyone else, its not as important as my suggestions

actually it does now...obtaining one however, is another story if you dont know where to find it

A few suggestions:

RPG: Golden Sun
Action-Adventure: Zelda The Minish Cap
Jump & Run: Super Mario Advance 2 (= Super Mario World on SNES)
Strategy: Fire Emblem
Action: Gunstar Heroes
Racing: Top Gear Rally

It's like Pokémon, except better. Yes, it's a GBC game and not a GBA game, but I'd still say its a better game than most of the GBA games in existence. As for the best GBA games; Minish Cap, Yoshi's Island, Pokémon Emerald, Warioware, Fire Emblem - all the obvious ones.

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. Great game overall and possibly the best Kirby game of all time.

None of the games he mentioned are in the US, actually. That's kinda what Otaku does...hence the name...

Anyways, I'll just recommend every GBA game I still own, plus two or three that I no longer own:

Advance Guardian Heroes
Advance Wars
Astro Boy: Omega Factor
Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand
Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django
Breath of Fire
Castlevania Double Pack
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Demikids: Dark Version
Drill Dozer
F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
Final Fantasy V Advance
Golden Sun

Iridion II
King of Fighters EX2: Howling Blood
Klonoa: Empire of Dreams

Well to be fair just because the games I mentioned are JP only doesn't mean you can't import... It's no too hard seeing GBA CAN actually play them unlike the 3DS

Mother 3 is completely unplayable if you don't know the language, though. Rhythm Tengoku is also kinda difficult, too. Believe me, there are 10 import GBA games I'd love to recommend, but I'm not gonna lie, though games were really tough to get down without a translation patch.

IDK if it's just me but I NEVER read in videogames

Yeah...I'm pretty sure that's just you...

But that being said, games in another language CAN be played without reading it

If the gameplay allows for it. Which a lot of games released this past decade haven't. Not all, not even most, but a lot.

And why not Zelda: Oracle of Seasons & Zelda: Oracle of Ages (GBC)?
