See, the problem with GBA games is that they all follow these rules:
1) They suck (ie, Iridion 3d)
2) Those which do not suck are ports of old games (ie, Kirby, all Mario GBA
games)
3) Those which are not 1 or 2 are sequels to old games and follow the same
play structure (ie, Pokemon, Sonic)
So saying "which is the best" is sort of a moot question. Personally, I like
Kirby, but that's not really a GBA game... it's a port of a NES game. I also
like Sonic Advance, but that follows the EXACT SAME GAMEPLAY AND CONTROLS OF
EVERY OTHER f.cking SONIC GAME ON EVERY OTHER f.cking SYSTEM. Oh, and there
is also a category under #1 that says this:
"1 1/2: All games based on movies suck. (ie, Finding Nemo, LOTR, Harry
Potter, etc)"

What about Advance Wars 1 & 2
They don't suck, they arn't ports and they are exclusive to the GBA
They are also my favourites.

Honestly, I never played those. If I see a good price, I'll pick that up, as
I heard good things about it.

Where would you put Golden Sun 1+2 under your rules?
Not ports, not sequels to old games, don't suck.

well yes I agree with you that gba games mainly suck balls
and so I start this thread
but firstly
gba games are new
and that just somehow makes the games look good
secondly
they are free on roms
most important of all
thirdly
they are small sized
easily obtained and fast to load on emulators(unlike arcade roms)
conclusion
so I think GBA is still worth playing

As long as you steal the games. Got it.

My vote would have to go to Advance Wars. I haven't picked up part 2 yet
since I am still addicted to the first one. It's just one of those "just one
more turn" games that sucks you in and won't let you go.
Tomb Raider Prophecy huh? How similar is it to the pc/ps1 versions? I've
never heard anyone recommend that one before, now I'm intrigued.

Winning Eleven Advance.
Just amazing.

Total Soccer is ok, but Winning Eleven is real football.

So you play with your balls in your pocket ?
