Sonic Advance 1-3
Wario Ware series

>>7213826

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team.

Let it draw you in with the story.

Metroid Fusion but not Zero Mission, don't reply to me I'll only become more right

>>7213971
Both suck. He would be better off playing Zelda 2.

>>7213841
The boomer manchildren have really lost their minds.

>>7213419
What about a flash cart?

>>7213971
But you're right, anon.

>>7213835
I agree, but where is he gonna buy it? Some of those games are way too hard in Japanese.
Did the English patch ever translate the audio in Marcher?

>>7213419
It is hard to go wrong with a Metroid or Castlevania game on the system. I'll suggest Double Dragon Advance, it is my favorite Double Dragon game.

>>7213419
>buy all of these
From me.

How much for each?

>>7214185
Nice. I only had three games for my Gameboy Advance: Excitebike, FFTA, and Castelvania (not sure if it was Harmony of Dissonance or Aria of Sorrow). I wanted to get the Metal Slug game for it but I could never find it.

FFV is pretty good if you can get your hands on a copy. There's also that Konami racing game if you ever feel the need to see Grey Fox race against the Moai head from Parodius.

Both of the Metroid games are nice, Pokemon Gen 3 is pretty good as well. The Super Mario Advance series is good if you want some quality older titles. You can get repro mother 3 carts with the English translation on them. Fire Emblem and Advance Wars are great. The Kirby games are good too. Minish Cap is fucking excellent too, and my favorite Zelda. I STRONGLY recommend Minish Cap.

What's the best GBA emulator?

>>7213419
Legend of Spyro, the Eternal Knight.
This one surprised me anon, it is actually really fun. IMO the best Spyro game outside of the original trilogy.

>>7216216
I think it might be mGBA now.

>>7216329
Can confirm this.

>>7216216
It's mGBA. VBA is now the ZSNES of GBA.

>>7214108
No he's literally right. The GBA was released in fucking 2001 TWO-THOUSAND-AND-ONE. If you really know literally -nothing- about its library and hell, if you don't already have a GBA SP you are a fucking zoomer retard and don't belong here.

>>7216652
He might not have had one as a kid, or he might have been too old for it.

pic related is pretty fun if you like sports games

Are there any GBA exclusive jrpgs besides Final Fantasy Tactics Advance?
Everything I find seems to have either been a port from another system or was eventually ported to a better system.
Japanese only is okay; even preferred.

Ninja Five 0 is the only good game

Just emulate you manchild, handhelds are for kids

>>7218028
Handhelds are for playing in bed when you're too depressed to get up.

>>7213458
impeccable taste anon

...golden sun.

Emulate it with a phone/tablet

I'm mostly a platformer person, so I would recommend both of the Kirby games (I liked Nightmare in Dream Land slightly better, but Amazing Mirror is still pretty good). The Mario Advance quadrilogy (espically Advance 3 and 4). The Densetsu no Stafy trilogy (you really don't need to know Japanese to enjoy the games, as they're pretty straightforward), as well as Astro Boy: Omega Factor (not really a platformer, but it has a few platforming parts). Outside of platformers, I really enjoyed Bomberman Tournament (normally don't care for Zelda-type games, but this one is pretty fun, plus it's got the fun Bomberman multiplayer mode). If you like Tournament, I would also recommend the Japan-only Jetters GBA game, as that's essentially a sequel in terms of gameplay, although you might need a guide to play through it (not as straightforward as the Stafy games). Also, just got Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak, that one is probably a good one too.

Summon night 1 and 2
The Gundam fighting games

>>7213419
>real carts are expensive as fuck
>flash carts drain your battery really fast because they need FPGA to run
That's it I'm emulating this piece of shit.

>>7217958
Seconding this, I enjoy Aria of Sorrow much more than SotN personally.

>>7213419
>Any games suggestions?
Get an Everdrive and just load it with ROMs of whatever looks interesting. Put the money you were going to spend on games into that and a nice backlit-modded AGB-001

>>7219907
yeah, at leats in aria of sorrow you can start a new game with most of the souls thta you have collected. In Sotn you cannot start a new game with most of the swords, shields and items that you collected.

>>7213458
Notice he didn’t distinguish between the two Metroid games available. They are both excellent. Speaking of which, castlevania Aria of Sorrow

>>7217938
Robopon 2, it's real easy to get ahold of Japanese versions.

Just crop and rotate the image, why did you upload it like this? Are you really that lazy?
