Golden Sun
Castlevania: COTM (I haven't played the others, I don't know how good they are)
Sword of Mana

Mario Advance is exactly the same as Super Mario Bros. 2, but with really annoying sound effects added.

I have been playin the hell outta Fire Emblem lately. Almost beat the game, and it has engulfed my life. Each chapter is takin me a good thirty minutes to beat now. But, thats not the true time. I swear I have played the last few missions at least 5 times through, each, because its gettin so damned hard.

If you are into RPGs and love a good challenge, get this game. Great great game to have. I have invested at least 50 hours into it so far.

I heard fire emblem was good. Mario and luigi is also addictive. I think the game is kinda short though.

I've been falling asleep every night to Advance Wars lately, lotsa fun. Man, I cant find Castlevania anywhere, nor Contra... GBA has too many games they dont stock them all :/

I just beat Metroid: Zero Mission. I can't say enough good things about it. It's refreshing to play a game that feel so true to the 16 bit era . Only problem is its short

Not the RPG section. Golden Sun game both easily take you about 20 hours to get through, each. I have played over 50 hours on Final Fantasy Tactics, and still have prolly another 20 left to play. Fire Emblem only says I have about 30 hours racked, but thats a misconception. Anyone who has played it knows what I mean. Each chapter takes around 20 to 30 mins to beat. But, you almost never beat it the first time through. I have prolly invested double what the timer says.

One cool feature about Fire Emblem is that you can turn it off whenever you want, and it saves your spot no matter what.

Its quite the in depth strategy RPG, compared to most GBA games. The story is the backbone, unlike some games. It has a great story, very good graphics, and awesome sprites. I love the animations. Plus, you get items and level up to upgrade you character from say, an archer to a sniper, or a thief to an assasin (prolly my favorite lookin sprite). Each chapter is very strategically worked out. If you mess up though, and a character dies, that character is gone for the entire game. This is the reason why you have to replay a chapter so many times. If you worked hard to level someone up, you dont want to just let them die.

You constantly get more and more new characters as well. Game has pegasus knights, and wyvern riders also. Like I said though, the best feature is the fact that your game is always saved, no matter what happens. You could be in the middle of a battle, and you power goes out on your GBA. Well, recharge it, turn it back on, and just resume the chapter. Very very nice feature. Any other questions, just ask.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (although I still want the PS1 version badly!)

how badly? i seen it in shops like once every week at least. although in japanese [as im in japan...].

i want them to release mario bros allstars on gba, that id buy. i get bored of all my games really quickly and dont play them for like a month and then play them once and then play them non stop for about two weeks before forgetting about them again. my owne stupid fault for buying 5 turn-based games. i bought yoshis island as well but i defeated bowsa today. o well, still got all the bonus levels.

i reckon doom would be really sweet on gba but ive never played it and i cant find it. plus i cant imagine how they fit all the controls into the gba`s four main buttons.

Fire Emblem is gonna be top price for a GBA game, since its in pretty high demand. I would say around 35 bucks. But, you could just get a used one for less.
