Best Game Boy Advance Games

This game can keep you up for days. Love it!

Gen 1 has been improved upon a lot, but combine Kanto with Gen 3 and you get one of the best games Game Freak has ever made!

It's a fantastic game for the Game Boy Advance. I've played through it several times.

The only reason I'm getting a GBA is because of this game. It's amazing.

This and Zero Mission are reasons enough to get a GBA.

Can't believe I'm voting against FireRed and Emerald. I like A Link to the Past better but never played the Game Boy Advance version. Never even knew that there was one. This game is amazing - it's the weakest of the Mario and Luigi games, but it paved the road for the rest to build upon. Every time a new game comes out, it combines something new with the unique gameplay introduced here. THEY HAVE FURY!

This game is an underrated gem that all Mario fans should get. Good gameplay, unique and interesting controls, a good enough storyline, and a blast to play!

Ruby and Sapphire were amazing with the enhanced graphics, an engaging storyline, and generally addicting battles.

Ruby and Sapphire were great games, like all Pokémon games. Can't believe that double battles didn't exist before these games. Metroid Fusion is fun too.

This game was a great boom for the Castlevania franchise, not only in gameplay and graphics but also in soundtracks. Even IGN rated it the second-best game on GBA.

Honestly, I like this more than Symphony of the Night. That's a testament to this game's quality.

Deserves to be in the top 3 at least. This game is amazing. I would be fine if it were number 1.

Way better than FireRed. This game has way more things to do post-game. Wait, you want evidence?

FireRed:
- Catch Mewtwo
- Battle Facility
- Sevii Islands
- Catch legendary dogs

Emerald:
- Catch Groudon
- Catch Kyogre
- Catch Regis
- Battle Frontier
- Johto Starter
- Catch Rayquaza

Side note: Rayquaza can be caught just before the Elite Four at level 70, but due to its level and how hard it is to catch, I added it anyway.

Emerald is the greatest Pokemon game, barring perhaps ORAS. It should definitely be number 1. Emerald >. The Rest.

I hadn't played this game until recently, and I wasn't the biggest fan of Earthbound Beginnings and Earthbound, but this game is one of the best JRPG experiences of my life.

This is an amazing game that should come worldwide. It took me a month for this game to arrive in the mail, but it was worth it. It has good music, good gameplay, and you can run in this game! Mother 3 and Pokémon R/S/E are my favorite GBA games.

Amazing game with great visuals and sound. Awesome cast of characters.

The game may just be pixels, and the music may just be beeps, but this is the definition of my childhood, and I have no idea why it's in the 14th spot.

After having it recommended to me for years, I finally gave in and played it. This is a fantastic turn-based strategy game. I was just a bit turned off by the cartoon visuals until I played it. It's so good it didn't need a sequel.

Crappy FireRed is #1? This should be #1! When I played this, I had no idea how they could fit so much content into a Game Boy Advance. The Field Training, Campaign, VS, Map Design, War Room - everything!

IGN placed it at #4. It's reasonable!

The finest example of how to do a remake.

Another astonishing console port for the Game Boy Advance, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 fails to bore any player. If you think putting an entire console game into a handheld is impossible, think again! Like Max Payne, the 3D backgrounds are now 2D, but with 3D character models. The character models look impressive for the system, although they look non-textured. You can do all the same tricks here from the console versions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.

About as good as skateboarding gets on a small screen.

This should be higher on this list. It is basically a 16-bit version of one of the best Mario games, Super Mario Bros. 3.

This is an excellent port of the famous PC and console title. Max Payne for the Game Boy Advance is impressive in every way. The idea of translating a console game into a portable handheld was executed amazingly for Max Payne. The story is the same, and the backgrounds look just like the other versions, only remade in 2D. The character models are in 3D, and you control the character in eight directions. You can also unleash the power of bullet time and dodging. Get it before it's gone, and you lose it.

If you're an Atari 2600 fan, you MUST check out this game. What's not to love about Activision Anthology? The Game Boy Advance version of this game has a whopping 56 Atari 2600 titles, while the PlayStation 2 version has 45. The Game Boy Advance version also saves your high scores, whereas the PlayStation 2 does not.

The PlayStation version might have more features, such as listening to '80s music and playing games in weird, funny modes, but the Game Boy Advance version brings more punch into the system than the other version. Play it now, or else you'll regret not playing it.
