So, I was doing some, um, spring cleaning, I guess, when I fell upon my Game Boy Advance. Now, I don't have very many games other than Metroid ZM and Fusion along with Golden Sun and Namco Museum. Can someone suggest me some good games from a few different genres for the Game Boy Advance? I know the GBA is old but I'm sure I can afford some used games for it. Well, throw 'em out there, what's good and what should I avoid?

I always thought that Earthbound would have made a good GBA game.

Earthbound WAS a GBA game. Just not in America.

If you can find the Castlevania: Double Pack, then get it. It comes with Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, which was great, and Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, which was good.

Ninja Five-O is a pretty solid mishmash of Shinobi and Bionic Commando, it's overlooked way too often on lists of good GBA games.

Astroboy is absolutely fantastic.
It revived my enthusiasm for videogames.

Vetoe Tales of Phantasia. Its way too slow after playing the other games. I own it but its not as good as i thought.

Wario Land 4 is worth a try if you're looking for a unique platformer on the GBA. Most of the other Nintendo published platformers are either remakes or straight ports, which sucks.
I haven't played enough GBA games to give you a solid list, but everyone else's suggestions seem to have you covered. Boktai has a very original concept, so that might be worth a try. Don't forget Advance Wars or WarioWare either.
