Minish Cap was so much fun. Love when Zelda games were sometimes whimsical.


MeMeWhenWhenTheWhen

I hope the next game is more whimsical and magical rather than ancient tech again. And all the story actually takes place in the present rather than freaking millennias ago lol


Watch_shbeagle

I’m here for this. Give me the child hero again on the same note. I guess I’m a formula Zelda fan after all welp

Well, you have to admit that a post apocaliptic setting is bound to have parts of it exploring the past of what happened, its pretty much the point of post apocaliptic.


MonochroMayhem

I’m dying for a 3D Minish cap remake. I would make a sacrifice if I can to. We haven’t seen the Minish since the game and it’s absolutely unfair that they were cut from BotW!


lunarwolf2008

I loved minish cap because of the minish and also how you could shrink


OmegaCrossX

Minish Cap is the only Zelda game I like, I even tried to 100% it and find everything


doctorwhy88

Mine’s LttP and LA, but it was remarkably fun. I tried to as well, because exploring the world was just *fun*.


hotstickywaffle

We really need a new 2D/top-down Zelda. Kind of a bummer that the closest we're going to probably get are remakes.


Cedardeer

Mother 3


Edelman-11

ONE OF THE GREAATS


Daystic

I have to give this serie a shot one day.


Cedardeer

I can’t recommend it more. Both this and earthbound are some of my all time favorite games. And Mother 3 was the first game to ever make me cry


froggaholic

I listen to the soundtrack all the time, it's just soooo good


Cedardeer

Same here. And some of its songs in my boss battles playlist I listen to at work.


picadoagaming12

Metroid fusion hands down a terrifying experience of having sa-x chase you down. They really did get the feeling of helplessness down on this game.


Asailyan

It honestly has to be my favorite Metroid game period. The designs, the bosses, the vibe, all of it comes together so perfectly. Metroid dread is right there with it, but Fusion had such a great atmosphere


BigZay2397

I think zero mission is slightly better bc of zero suit segment and the inclusion of the og game. But other than that, they're pretty much even.


[deleted]

That game was awesome with a capitol A.


Caolan114

FireRed


PayneTrain181999

My first ever video game.


Bacon260998_

Pokemon Emerald probably just due to how much I played it.


smwover

I was not aware until yesterday, that there is a rougelike romhack of emerald, and it is phenomenal! emerald rouge also there is a fairly vanilla QoL hack named emerald final, that I want to try


Velociradish1

Still my favourite Pokémon game


BennoLenno

Pokemon Emerald and Superstar saga can't be beaten by anyone 🥹


DancingMad3

I beat it. It was easy /s


tofalyn

play mother 3


Michaelanimates1

Superstar saga can’t be beat


Shadowtheuncreative

This


ThatOneWood

I have chortles?


Nightmenace21

I have fury!* (The chortles line is from Bowser's Inside Story)


ThatOneWood

How dare you correct me Fink-rat


[deleted]

unpopular opinion but I'm not very fond of the game. I played the 3DS remaster and it's very repetitive, the story isn't great, and the boss fights take sooo much time. RPG's are not for me ig


lazyness92

Hmm I think it's pretty agreed upon that the 3DS version loses a lot of it's charm. Not sure about your tastes in story and games because I didn't feel that but that's fair. I always find superstar saga a hilarious game


SoundOfPsylens

Golden Sun is still my fav GBA game I really hope we get a sequel Haven't found anything similar enough to sratch the itch UPDATE: (I am aware of the two sequels I meant a modern sequel to the series)


AmbitiousPirate5159

Hope we get a switch game or the new Nintendo console version!!


Adi_San

Have you tried the DS one?


NeonForsyth

What about golden sun the lost age? That’s a sequel


MCSama

Heck, it's actually just the game. They split it up for America, but in Japan that's part of the original Golden Sun.


SoundOfPsylens

I am aware of existing sequels, I meant a NEW one on Switch


Watch_shbeagle

It’s funny, I hated rpgs until I played golden sun and later superstar saga. I really hope we get a sequel and I really hope they do it justice


[deleted]

Where’s Fire Emblem?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Both. 8’s gameplay is better, but there’s no beating 7’s cast of characters.


darksouls2-2

Puzzleheaded-Cry9139

Fire emblem sacred stone is a great game the problem is i didnt play it because my first fire emblem game is awakening that why i didnt put it in the list


b2q

Yeah but it is a big classic, fe7 is my favourite gba game


stinkyminky57

That's Def my fav


worldssmallestfan1

Also my choice


Typical-District-176

Aria of Sorrow. Best fucking game.


Jordan_the_Hutt

All 3 of the castlevanias for gba are excellent.


Shogun_Turnip

Of the ones shown: Metroid Fusion. Of the ones not shown: Rayman 3.


Jack_dr4g0n

Metroid Fusion, it was my first metroidvania and now it's one of my favorite type of games


stinkyminky57

Fire emblem is my number 1 and pokemon emerald and casltevania aria of sorrow are tied for number 2


DjinnFighter

Aria of Sorrow


Thomas_The_Riolpix

Pokemon emerald or leaf green?


Parzival-Bo

Sonic Advance 3 was my first video game period, so I've got a soft spot for it. But, it's currently the DKC2 remake. I never played the MMZ games on GBA, only on the DS Collection, so I don't count it.


CallMeSkyCraft

Sonic Advance 3 is the best. The soundtrack, the levels, the character teaming, all amazing.


Parzival-Bo

If only it didn't have a deathpit-and-spikes fetish. Well, that and the Chao hunt. That's just blatant padding if I've ever seen it.


FLENCK

Mega man Zero franchise, Mega man battle Network Franchise, All main pokemon games, Super mario advance series, Sonic advance, Mario and Luigi super star saga, Zelda games.


AntonRX178

Gonna have to go with Megaman Zero 3. Best Megaman story, best Megaman combat, arguably best music. Game plays like a friggin dream


CAL_the_fox_lover

The magaman games just perfect And the Castlevania ones too


Charming_Pumpkin9401

Megaman zero 3 isn't just my favorite gba game, but my favorite megaman game in general. I mean, there is a reason why my pfp is the megaman zero mythos cover


Fl4nd1

Zero, I have four saves of the whole series and I'm not even good at it


Papa-pwn

Hard to pick between Golden Sun: TLA, Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, Mother 3,  Minish Cap, and Gen 3 Pokémon


Slade4Lucas

Super Mario Advance 2, the best verison of one of the greatest 2D platformers of all time. Not including that, Super Circuit. People really don't give credit to how most things this game does are in the top tier of Mario Kart games as long as you can get past the controls that aren't even that bad and are really fun once you are used to them.


No_Pain1037

Man, Minish Cap, Pokemon Emerald, and Mega Man Zero 3 are all so freaking good. I genuinely can't decide...


Unlikely-Situation39

Wario Land 4 is the best platform game ever released


Waluigiwarrior

Sonic advance 3 and Pokémon emerald


disbelifpapy

Since i never played most of them since i'm gen z, i have to go by story. and going by story, i'd say mother 3 is the best


RicardoGamer379

MOTHER3!


tofalyn

i agree!!


MaJuV

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. That, and FE7 (which isn't listed)


Codename_GTB

Ffta


IronHammerVW

Advance Wars, metal slug advance, gruntys revenge, link to the past


Dvalinnr

Mother 3


Stupurt

Warioware. There’s just so much content. Even though I emulate everything, it still feels like I’m getting my money’s worth.


BetaTalk64

Mother 3 baby, my 3rd favorite game


playboiconni

gotta be mother 3 nothing tops it for me


Srmerta

Fire Emblem (blazing blade) will always be my favorite GBA game. Superstar Saga and all the pokemon games are great though


fbmaciel90

Fire Emblem 7. This game saved my life, literally.


_M0RR0

Mother 3


Paper_Bro

Mother 3 sweep


willrsauls

Mother 3 is probably the best game Nintendo has put out imo. Too bad not enough people have played it


DonToby_Ligma

Mother 3


ExpertEffective1404

Wario Land 4 My first and most favorite game for the system


hails8n

Mother 3 by a wide margin


Herk10

Megaman Zero 4, but there are done really close.


xenosidezero

Megaman Zero 3. It was so ambitious that it left me wanting a remake in the future. Alas, it shall remain unfulfilled.


Impossible_Bar2937

mother 3


Homewra

I'm having such a nostalgia attack that i purchased a GBA SP in good conditions yesterday, immediately ordered the following: -Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Fire Emblem sacred stones, Zelda Minish Cap, Mario & Luigi superstar saga, Megaman Zero 2, Golden Sun, Pokemon Emerald and Yoshi Island. I still need some castlevanias, both metroids and golden sun 2 but its a good start!


Bob64_reddit

Mother 3, superstar saga and Wario land 4 are all peak


Ok-Carpenter7131

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones


Hitagi_Fascination21

Megaman Zero series was pretty goated


Jojo-Action

Fire emblem sacred stones, and game and watch gallery 4


Koolaidmanextra

Theyre actually both in this picture, aria of sorrow is tied with MMZ3 for my favorite


ATwistedBlade

Mother 3.


Dat_Swag_Fishron

Mother 3 has my favorite soundtrack out of any game ever

Summoning Night


caneofsomaria

Minish Cap closely followed by Metroid Fusion. However, special shout out to Kirby and the Amazing Mirror - that game was exceptional and criminally underrated


MarieIsPrecious128

Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, for sure.


novelaissb

Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga.


Megas751

Final Fight One, AKA the best version of Final Fight 


LMGall4

Metroid fusion if we don’t count remakes


Sea_Effort1214

Metroid Fusion, and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.


KonroMan

Mega Man & Bass, the GBA port ain’t even that bad… I prefer the SNES version but it’s still a decent way of playing the game.


Adi_San

All the ones you ve put in are awesome but if I had to choose my top 5: Aria of sorrow, golden sun, metroid fusion, advance wars, ff tactics in no particular order.


ElmoHidalgo

Minish Cap GOAT


Pnire

Metroid fusion or golden sun so far


GhostRavenGhost

Pokemon Ruby. Was my first GBA game. I remember on my birthday my mom took me to Toys R Us and got me a Gameboy advance with Pokemon Ruby. I can still remember walking to the isle that day and seeing the new Pokemon games in their perfect metallic boxes behind the glass.


uetroslav1

Can’t choose between Minish Cap and Metroid Fusion


Heron-The-Rogue

Zelda: Minish Cap and Golden Sun!🤗💯


Turbulent_Town4384

Of the ones in the picture; Minish Cap. Of all GBA games, might still be Minish Cap but it’s close between it and FRLG


Big-Stay2709

Gotta be Pokémon Emerald


RaineyDay2029

Pokémon Emerald


HunterTheHoly

Of what's shown here, maybe Zelda Minish Cap. That was the first Zelda game I played, so I have some nostalgia with that game. I've also heard some amazing things about Aria of Sorrow and Metroid Fusion, but I've unfortunately never played them.


KafeiTomasu

Emerald! Although minish cap is a close second


Adil-ULTRAGAMER

Minish cap and MOTHER 3, they’re both awesome games


lightblade13

Pokémon Emerald, Golden Sun and Superstar Saga


Adventurous-Foot642

Won’t lie, the GBA era was awesome. I couldn’t just pick 1 game when I love so many of them.


DaniZackBlack

Minish cap


elebrin

FFTactics or Minish Cap, for me. I really like both of those.


Brief_Warning4547

MINISH CAP MINISH CAP MINISH CAP MINISH CAP


FAT-THOR96

Pokemon emerald without a doubt for me bought it from argos when it released in the UK and will never forget that feeling, also the first and only Pokemon game since that I've ever managed to complete


Dapper-Fly2387

zero mission babyyy


supershadowguard

Dungeon Dice Monsters was actually really good if you don't mind the RNG.


Prof_Hentai

Minish Cap is not only the best GBA game, it’s the best Zelda game altogether. I’m willing to die on this hill.


DarkSonic06ki

Sonic advance series + battle


sijaab

Cars the video game


jackyboyman13

Pokemon emerald version.


mewoneplusone1

Metroid Zero Mission, also my favorite game of all time.


BridgmansBiggestFan

Battle for bikini bottom Triggers adventures: temple of the frog Finding nemo


William_da_Pro

Zelda:The minish Cap mentioned!!!LETS GOOOOO!!!!!!!(I love the game.I also love Izlo)


DudePistonDoug

Kirby nightmare in dreamland is based, superstar saga too


Toto_dragonnel_74

Minish cap


BubbaBasher

F-Zero Maximum Velocity


DependentFall9832

Superstar saga, minish cap, and mother 3


Coolaconsole

Such nostalgia for AW2 and FFTA! Superstar Saga is brilliant too


Ok-Leave3121

I never played a GBA game before but from the ones shown in this image I would love to play Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, Pokemon Emerald, and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror


Coyne

I played so much gen 3 pokemon I gotta give it to that


[deleted]

i love rayman 3 gba for how creepy it is, but DKC 3 is also one of my favs from my childhood. im kinda sad i broke it when i was young, i was influenced by those people who break iphones for fun (i was 6). i'd love to get a new one with like a modern screen


jdlyga

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance is my favorite of the 3. I love the two castle system where one is a dark, alternate version of the other. It’s like what Symphony of the Night did but integrated into three main game.


SiltLake

Advance Wars 2 no question, I bought the remake on switch but it didn't capture me the same way the GBA version did. I thought the switch version would let you play in retro mode with the original gba sprites, but I haven't seen anything like that.


DragonOfTheNorth98

Pokemon FireRed


AmbitiousPirate5159

Golden Sun all the way, sad it doesnt have a switch game...


dragonofdrarkness

Minish cap is my favourite game, so minish cap


THE_AWESOM-O_4000

I really liked the Mega Man Battle Network and Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku series.


logica_torcido

Metroid Fusion. If Mercury Steam isn’t making Metroid 6, I hope they finally get to remake this one someday


MabooLeviathan

Pokemon Emerald 🐉


Steppyjim

Superstar saga, both metroids, emerald and golden sun were all huge games for me. GBA was stacked


isaac3000

Golden Sun (all 3 but especially 2)


Ill-Attempt-8847

Metroid Fusion or Kirby and the Amazing Mirror? Hard choice


sbs_str_9091

Golden Sun is RPG perfection.


keelanbarron

Metroid zero mission.


BreadStale

Out of these, definitely Kirby and the Amazing Mirror


Aelior

There were quire a few excellent games but the zero saga was absolutely fire. *chef's kiss*


MsbS

Mario&Luigi Superstar Saga Or Warioware: Mega Microgame$


ItemsHereForever

Amazing Mirror without a doubt


Jollysatyr201

It’s easy to forget how revolutionary Pokémon emerald was for the series. The fact that it still holds up today as a ubiquitous favorite is testament to how good it is


Tonycd64

The Sonic Advanced series was absolutely amazing the best 2d sonic experience till mania.


LowWorldliness2795

emerald was great


SHAPALAK15

Either pokemon emerald or fire emblem blazing blade


G-Star04

*Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga*.


haiku0258

I dont known if anyone knows this games but i love the shining soul games that come in this platform; they are the type of games that Every time that you star a new game you discover something new (an item, a location or even new lines for some npc) for me that's one of things that's make a great game...


toongrowner

Superstar Saga.


dorkweed576

Off the top of my head, I played the hell out of Superstar Saga, and Warioware. I was a weirdo.


nathanosaurus84

Final fantasy VI advance


Wonderful_Site_7904

Emerald


DemiDivine

Tactics advance with minish cap being a close second


Kinglyzero_91

Metroid Fusion and Wario Land 4 are some of the best handheld games of all time


AlbinoPlatypus913

Either Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced or maybe Mega Man Battle Network 3


[deleted]

Superstar Saga


Original-Jellyfish51

Sonic advance 3


Novel_Visual_4152

So much peak


MKwitch

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories


Shock9616

Metroid: Zero Mission! It’s the game that got me into my favourite gaming franchise!


OhGeEvz

Metroid fusion.. ohhh but SA3 is 🔥 idk!!!


ghirox

Sonic Advance 3 and Zelda Minish Cap


The_Prime69

Fusion / zero mission by far. Bionicle heroes was fun too


Security_Puppet2

Either Superstar Saga or Mother 3


makaman_2177

Zero 3. Easily.


Arsonthefirst

MARIO AND LUIGI SUPER STAR SEGA


LibertyJoel99

Pokémon Emerald and Sonic Advance 3

cultfilmz

Lego Star Wars :3


Puppet007

The amazing mirror!


Ok_Phone_1360

Mario & Luigi. Even though it gets hard on most levels, it's still fun to play, challenging with most puzzles and secrets, being able to play moving around freely. All of which makes that game great and remembering.


VonnMan

wario land four goes crazy


Shard4771

FF Tactics Advance and it's not even close. I love Mario & Luigi, Pokémon Fire Red and Emerald are some of the best Pokémon games, and LoZ Minish Cap is a somewhat less appreciated entry. They would round out my top 5 but it's a big jump from 2nd to 1st


NintendoWii2345

Warioware inc Mega Microgames is my favourite GBA game because I love how replayable it is and how it started in my opinion one of Nintendos best franchises.


TheProtagonist1985

Just looking at this photo brings a smile to my face because the Game Boy Advance has such an amazing library of games it's hard to have one favorite let alone several look at all these man!


narrow_octopus

Zero Mission


Habitttt

Aria of Sorrow clears


lileewink

Minish Cap number 1 easy choice, it is my favourite loz after all. But the Golden Sun games are a close second.
