What GBA Games would you reccomend to someone who doesn't have much for the GBA?

Hey, Lord Eliwood here. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good GBA game that I should have. I've racked my mind and I can't think of anything that I really want, so I was wondering if I had forgotten or overlooked something. Keep in mind that my games consist of Sonic Advance, both Metroids, and the NES classic Zelda, and I've beaten each one of them at least once. Also, it would be alright to recommend a game that will be coming out soon. Oh, yeah, and I half-own a copy of Fire Emblem, and I love it to death (hence my OB name).

[color=darkred]Yeah, if you like Fire Emblem, then you should go for Advance Wars or Advance Wars 2. They're different games, but they both revolve around the same concept and have the same styles. You could call Fire Emblem the fantasy version of Advance Wars, if you want, but I don't really know which is the better title since I've never played either.

If you liked the NES Zelda Classic, then I can only recommend Link to the Past. It touches up on that game in [i]every[/i] way possible, and qualifies as a must have for all SNES/GBA owners.

Another great game is Yoshi's Island. I think it's the best Mario game out for the GBA right now. It's of considerable lifespan, and each level is as long as the next, unlike the ones you'd find in Super Mario World or Super Mario Bros. 3., though I can't really give my opinions on Super Saga. I heard it rocks, though.

FFTA is also a must have for the GBA. I love it in every way, except for its utterly poor storyline and dialogue, but don't let that get in the way. Seriously, you'll end up having a blast with this title because it just has so much to offer. There's depth, lifespan, difficulty (somewhat), and above all, it's extremely fun to play. Don't go in expecting much from the multiplayer mode, though; it seriously sucks.

You have both Metroid games already, so that's really all I can say on the matter.[/color]

Golden Sun is my personal favorite GBA game of all time. Its a great RPG with an epic story, and if you actually read everything they said in Fire Emblem, chances are youl like this game. Golden Sun 2 is out but Ive never played it.

Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga is another great RPG. Its easy to play and get used to, not to mention its a hillarious game with very funny clip-scenes, and its long as crap to boot. I still havent beten it in 9 months.

Ill have to agree with Wingnut on Link to the Past, thats one hot game. I also reccomend Ice Climbers.

Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland is arguably one of the best sidescrollers for the GBA. I know it looks like a little kids game, and you can beat it in 2 hours, but its fun as crap.
