The F-Zero series on it, but I've found that F-Zero doesn't feel as good on it compared to the GBA Micro.

Kirby.

The Mega Man Zero games really want you to perfect them by getting S ranks and it can be really tough to find that perfect balance. They play amazingly and for that reason they are very addictive.

>>16286012

megaman battle network games, Final Fanatsy tactics advanced, advanced wars 1 & 2, Pokemon games(if you like em), Metroid Fusion and zero mission, Wario Ware twisted, and an assortment of kirby games.

All I can think of off the top of my head

Fire Emblem, Golden Sun, the Castlevania games, Zero Mission, Final Fantasy/FFTA, Phantasy Star

>>16286212

Consider these HOT OPINIONS

MMZ3 > MMZ4 > MMZ2 > MMZ

>>16286230

No, no, you got it wrong anon. It's actually.

MMZ2>MMZ4>MMZ3>MMZ1

Two has the best level design and boss battles, while still remaining very challenging. The chain rod is also the most fun version of of the triple rod.

Four has lackluster levels and boss battles but has lots of QoA enhancements you like not tying EX skills to rank and actually allowing you to use elves without feeling like a murderer to spice up the gameplay along with the weather gimmicks. Also has one of the best and memorable final boss battle setups in history of video games period.

Three doesn't have much to stand out with compared to the above examples, aside from the final boss battle which is mechanically speaking the best in the series, the gameplay is difficult but not particularly engaging otherwise. Also recoil rod is shit.

The first one is very dated and clunky compared to the sequels. Not necessarily bad, but they improve upon the formula so much that the original appears lackluster in comparison. It does have a better aesthetic however in my opinion with it's UI and level design that gives the world a bleak and hopeless feel to it that the sequels discarded in favor of a sleeker more modern look.

The actual final boss in MZ4 was kinda lame (the second or third phase, where it's the TWO GIANT ROBOT SHOULDERS OF X AND ZERO, it seemed overdone) but the actual context of it was a fantastic way to end the series

I liked 3 mechanically and for the challenge. 2 felt like it was missing a little bit.

All the Sims games on GBA were very fun. Personally I liked The Sims 2 best, it was like a reverse Truman Show plot wise, where you are the one who is in the know that all the plots are a movie set and nobody else does.

This is a good list. Top choices.

No Gunstar, no astroboy, no ninja five o, no double dragon advanced, no Dragon ball adventure, no alien hominid….No alien infestation….No no…No.

I must have missed the part where he said his image was comprehensive and included every good game on the GBA.

>>16287386

They are just images I swiped from here

and arranged together.

dunno, the GBA had one too many ports. I think of it as a RPG port and strategy game machine (advance wars, fire emblem)

>>16286012

mega man battle network series. the first has some annoying dungeons but i didnt regret putting up with them.

Moemon Emerald, the battle tower never gets old.

>>16288082

Which one was the DS game? I don't see it

>>16288957

You've got a screenshot of Dawn of Sorrow by my estimate. Soma's not in his GBA res sprite and I don't recall that background being from Aria.

>>16286012

What flashcarts do you recommend, and where can you get them? Been thinking about picking up a GBA SP myself.

>>16289793

i keep thinking hes gonna post the song

>>16289809

This one, actually.

The battery inside all gba carts is gonna die soon anon, don't bother with a real gba

>>16291210

Can confirm because I had one.

The battery for Pokemon died like over a decade ago. The plants stopped growing ingame.

If I remember correctly they didn't even grow while you played. So that was the end of it.

>>16291210

>don't bother with a real gba

But the OP said he got a flashcart, that's not an issue then. Best of both worlds.

I want to use that too because I don't like playing GBA games on the big screen and I hate smartphones.

Adding some hidden gems

>Metal Slug Advance

>King of Fighters

>Street Fighter Zero 3 upper

>Sonic Advance 2

Fuck Mario vs Donkey for killing the great New Donkey Kong games that they started making with DK 94 and replacing it with a Lemmings clone.

the ags 101 screen is so shitty and blurry if there is any movement on the screen at all

I wish i still had my early model sp from when I was a kid, at least the screen wasnt a blurry fucked up mess and gb/gbc looked decent on it

If you mean Ruby and Sapphire, I think that was more a bug that kicked in after 99:99 time played or something than anything to actually do with the internal battery. From what I recall they both put out actual kiosks in stores that when communicated with essentially patched the bug (and gave the player a free shiny Zigzagoon), and I want to say even communicating with Colosseum and Gale of Darkness would also fix it.

>>16291210

Cartridge batteries are replaceable. A store out here does so for any Game Boy/GBC/GBA Pokemon games when they get them traded in regardless, since data longevity is important for that series.

>>16291376

Or you can use a soldering iron instead of a moron afraid to use real tools. Even a cheapo one is good enough to replace a solder tab battery.
