Ultimate top ten gba games

[prinnysquad]

I'm a retard!

Minish Cap
FFTA
Advance Wars 2
Astro Boy
M&L: Superstar Saga

Hmm got to think about the other 5 in more detail...

KuruKuru Kururin should definitely be in there! Its one of my favourite games regardless of system.

I also think Rhythm Tengoku deserves a place, its a fantastic rhythm game and pretty unique.

Not having played Final Fight in the arcade, I did enjoy Final Fight One but enjoyed other GBA action games much more. In particular Astro Boy: Omega Factor which I reckon is one of the best GBA games.

I love the bitGeneration games also, don't know which is deserving of a place though!

Dotstream is one of the greatest games ever made. It's a simplistic game - but still has a lot of layers to it - which make it captivating.

I'd like the concept taken to another level. Keep it simple - but.. put it on the 360 - with GeometryWars type effects.

[Shoju]

Those Treasure developed games Astro Boy: Omega Factor and Gunstar: Super Heroes look really impressive. What else did they develop on the GBA?

Also what are the Sonic Advance games like?

Final fight top 10? WTF

[Golgo]

So much for democracy...the list appears to be getting worse

Needs, I would suggest:
Rhythm Tengoku.
Metroid Fusion instead of Zero Mission, which apart from naked Samus last 20 minutes is a graphically enhanced 'port' and therefore inadmissible. Besides, Fusion is a far superior and much tougher game, despite it's alleged linearity. (It's not linear, you can break it if you have the wherewithal, with humorous results...)
I'd also like Drill Dozer in there for being a truly innovative platformer, but I don't imagine that'd get much support.

And how do Advance Wars 1 + 2 = 1 game?

[noobish hat]

Because it is on one cartridge. Sounds like one game to me.

good point. my midway arcade treasures on ds is by that reckoning the best single game i've ever played, after capcom classics on ps1 of course! cracking game that

Hmm, not sure about having Dotstream on a big widescreen telly though! I really enjoyed having it on the tiny tiny screen of the GameBoy Micro. Indeed, the whole bitGenerations series seemed crafted for the Micro.

River City Ransom EX is still my personal favorite GBA game and one all collectors should have.

Both games pale in comparison to the wonder that is the Cascade Cassette 50

Dotstream is actually one of the few games I enjoy playing through the GameCube GBA Player on my big screen.

When I talk about a console version - I mean.. with advanced visuals: High Resolution, Particle Effects etc.... It could easily be a great console game.

treasure also did a game called hajime no ippo for the gba which was really great. It played a lot like super punchout with some brilliant animation and ace gameplay.

the sonic advance games are really pretty crap. beautiful looking but they fall into the trap of all the post megadrive sonic games in the way that you can just keep your finger on the forward button and the levels generally complete themselves.

Mr Driller Ace. More GBA playtime than any other.

Same here. It's still more or less permanently stuck in the bottom of my DS too. Fantastic game.

Don't think anybody's mentioned it, but Ninja Cop's excellent too.

[highrise]

I have to say that I absolutely love Astro Boy Omega Factor. It starts out a little slow but once it gets going its superb. Gunstar Super Heroes likewise. The two Golden Sun games really are as good as any RPG on the SNES (I would say better even). Pinball of the Dead and the Metroid games are great as well. This is just me but I have soft spot for the mega man battle network games too. Honourable mentions to Mario vs Donkey Kong and even Super Mario Ball is ok. Boktai 2 Solar Boy Django is good.
