Game recomendations for the Game Boy Advance
So I've been thinking about getting a GBA and I'm looking for sugestions for some good games.
I'm already looking for the following:
F-Zero Maximun Velocity
Iridion II
Mega Man Zero
Metal Slug Advance
Metriod Fusion
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
I also want a sidescrolling spaceship shooter, but haven't found any

Sonic Advance and Sonic Advance 2 are good platforming games worth checking out.
The Pokemon games are a must of course, but there's also the legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, which is pretty rad.
Also, if you want a space shooter there's Gradius advanced.
The only GBA games I have are the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon ones, I think they're alright.
The legend of Zelda Minish Cap is AMAZING.
Never actually played any Sonic games, but these looks like a lot of fun.
I played Pokémon Emerald on an emulator on my iPod Touch a few years back, with some friends playing it on their iPhones, good times!
And, yes, Gradius, how could I miss that one. (I've never palyed a Zelda game, please don't hate me, haha)
The Megaman Battle Network series was a lot of fun when I was growing up.
Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town
And the fact no one has mentioned it yet means everyone else here must now wear the cone of shame.
What!! Not a single one!! That doesn't compute in my weird little brain.
I would recommend a ds the gba screen is way too small and dark for nowadays we are all used to backlights now I tried playing gba a while back it was hard. I think ds plays gba games but 3ds doesn't, I love the ds.
Can't go wrong with an SP. The backlight for that version is insanely bright.
How has this not been recommended?
I know, it's kinda weird I haven't. I played on my parents NES when I was little, and also random PC games, then I got my Nintendo DS and Wii and Xbox 360 and Sonic kind of just passed by outside of the games I played.
When I get one, it will be the SP version with the AGS-101 serial number, that one has an even brigther screen than the first SP version, and I want the GBA mostly because it plays original Game Boy and Game Boy Color Games as well. I had a DS lite before (best looking console ever made i you mask me), but I traded that in to Game Stop to get some extra cash to get a 3DS.
Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku series are all really good. Except for the GT one. The GT one is really bad. But LoG, LoG 2 and Buu's Fury are all fun RPG games that are true to the story of the series and it's an insane amount of fun.
The Super Mario Advanced games are pretty good. Remastered versions of the older Mario games with a new game in it too. They have one for Mario 1, Mario 3, Mario World and I think Yoshi's Island. They're damn fine remasters.
The first Splinter Cell game, while not at all as good as the console releases, is a neat littler platformer with some cool mechanics.
As Blind said, the Sonic Advance games are great, and back to mario, Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga is one of the finest video games I've ever played.
And there was a Final Fantasy game I played on the GBA but I cannot for the life of me remember it. it was neat though.
EDIT: The Zelda Games on the console are alright too. There's an okay remaster of Link to the Past, Four Swords is alright and Minish Cap is a load of fun but a little weird.
Crash Bandicoot
