Today is a Glorious Day

[Drewbacca]

Today I bought a Gameboy Advance SP w/ Super Mario Advance 3 (Yoshi's Island). This game is amazing, and satisfies me to no end. I can't believe that I was thinking about passing on this. GBA: SP is without a doubt my favorite system right now.

Now, to the post at hand. I need suggestive titles for the Gameboy Advance that I can do some research on and such. I also have a question: Is Super Mario 3 out as an Advance title? I would pick that up without a hitch.

I also have WWE Road to Wrestlemania which I will keep. (got it free from THQ) and WWF Betrayal which I will probably keep wrapped and sell for another game (which I also got from THQ for free). I was wondering what games are awesome for the GBA?

So far, my wanted list includes:

Donkey Kong Country
Golden Sun
Golden Sun: The Lost Age
Metroid Fusion
Wario Ware
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Wario Land 4

and

Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising

Please give me some suggestions. I love 2D platformers. In the future when they're released I will pick up:

Fire Emblem
River City Ransom EX
Mario and Luigi RPG
Sword of Mana

and

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks for your help TNL.

you have a great list already (though i'm not a huge fan of golden sun, and donkey kong country is a shoddy port,) but i would add megaman battle network 2.

Also, is there some place you can get a GBA case or something to hold your GBA game cartidges? I don't mean for travel, just storage.

That doesn't really help. There are tons of games listings there. I want specific recommendations that I will investigate with those reviews and information given on sites around the net, as I specified.

YEp...SMA3 is GOLDEN. Anyway, the new Rayman is a good platformer, if a little easy. At least it's an original game, though.

Since you already have the best platformer...I'll give you the best games other categories IMO ;p

Racing: F-Zero MV, Mario Cart: SC
Action/Adventure: Castlevania COTM (the newer two are good also, though)
Shooter: Gradius Galaxies
Puzzle: Puyo Puyo, Columns Crown (both are dirt cheap now)

Wario Ware is great, too. Basically, you can't go wrong with any of the games on your list. Fusion is a bit short, but it's pretty good. GS 1/2 will keep you occupied for at least 30 hours total.

Don't get Golden Sun. Get Phantasy Star Collection instead.
