I pretty much quit buying GBA games by the time this one came out. I might buy it if I see it selling for $10.

~ DRILL DOZER ~ GBA- As much as i loved this back in 2006, i have started playing again and it is better than i remember! I'm even trying for Hard mode. Anyone who says Drill Dozer is easy has not played hard mode. I haven't played enough to say, IT COMPLETELY CHANGES THE GAME! but it does make the player think a lot more.

Yoshi's Cookie GB- I received this game for not failing school. Really! The deal was i get A's and B's, but i was so bad at concentratin'! This reward for poor behavior thing did not teach me well. Yoshi's Cookie was a fun game anyway.

Match of the Millenium NGPC- I don't like fighting games, but i like this! Aside from Vampire Savior, it's my favorite ever. Yoshi is correct, click stick makes it work!

Rhythm Tengoku GBA- So i can be more desu ne than Robots. Wario Ware games were fun, but got old fast. RhyTen, however, did not! I still play every now and then.

Diagasso Band Bros. DS- This one's fun but it gets tough! Barbara is still the hottest Intendose character, beating out even Peach and Daisy.

Final Fantasy Adventure GB- I used to play this once every two years and finally sold it this year. And now... yeah, i wish i still had it! The simplicity made it completely replayable and the silly melodramatic story just works!

Kirby's Pinball GB- NO, SSJN, KIRBY'S PINBALL IS THE BEST video PINBALL GAME OF ALL TIME. Seriously, the regular Kirby games need to go away. They're nowhere near as good as the Kirby's Not Dreamland games.

Digidrive GBA- This is a good, simple back to basics game. I wish the Digistyle games succeeded and we got more little experiments like this!

Solomon's Club GB- Another old-schoo game i enjoy playing once every few years. The puzzles are tough! Wish that old Adventures of Lolo game was released state-side!

Super Mario Land- SML is still the strangest game in the series, even more than SMB2. I really wish Mario could be strange and new again.

Mario Kart Advance (GBA)
Ninja Five-0 (GBA)
Hajime no Ippo (GBA)
Ketsui Death Label (DS)
Contra 4 (DS)
Korg DS-10 (DS)
Metal Slug 7 (DS)
Bangaioh Spirits (DS)
SNK vs Capcom (NGPC)
Double Dragon Advance (GBA)

I'd probably feel comfortable listing any DS game I own with the exceptions of the 2D platformers (not bad, just not GOAT material), Tecmo Bowl Kick-Off, and Puyo Pop Fever or whatever it's called.

You would think so (talking Mario Golf GBC Vs GBA). But for whatever reason I just find the GBC version better. And not by a little, either.

I really like the PSP one, neat Lumines-esque presentation. Too bad unlocking all the skins legit is practically an impossibility (You'd have to play about a 3-hour session with no deaths), but you can download a save from GameFAQs to remedy that. Haven't played the DS one, but it's largely regarded as inferior to the PSP one.

The series has resurfaced on Wii as the "Art Style" series. So far there's been remakes of Orbital and DialHex (now called Orbient and RotoHex), and one totally new game, Cubello (which is super-awesome, one of the most overlooked and underrated games this year). They're only $6 each, too. Support them so we can get more!

U CRAZY.

Mario Golf was great for the time but a Mode 7 golf game seems rendered pretty well obsolete in comparison to something like Hot Shots.

rpg elements and neato story mode > graphics

I keep thinking about this list, and I keep thinking that I must be crazy for knowing that I'd have to put the DS homebrew TGM3 remake thing on it. But it's the best portable Tetris in existence, so whatever.

Phoenix Wright would definitely be on there.

Probably ~ Drill Dozer ~ , too.

I'm having serious trouble thinking of this list.

I'm not just talking about graphics. One lets you zoom right up on the area you want to, allowing to get a better idea of placement, one lets you only see the course from an overhead view 100 feet in the sky. One's putting mode allows you to read the green's topography from tiny slopes to large bumps, one overlays a bunch of arrows that allow only the most cursory of information and don't convey any nuanced variation at all. There's a huge fundamental difference between the two, gameplay-wise.
