Not just, but mostly. A few games are worthwhile:
Rhythm Tengoku
Wario Ware & Twisted
Drill Dozer
Wario Land 4
Advance Wars 1 & 2
Mother 3

and borderline:
Metroid Fusion

Well, you have to remember how it was back in the early 2000s. Phone emulation didn't exist (smartphones didn't exist), handhelds that could emulate older systems didn't exist yet. Being able to play SNES games on the go was a novelty and appreciated by many people. Also, despite cropped screen resolution and tinier sound, the ports were for the most part pretty faithful and even added extra content. It's like when capcom made the compromised ports of their arcade games on PS1 but added more content to make up for it.
Also, it has pic related which is frankly one of my favorite games ever made, and it's neither a port, or shovelware.

I mean it was that or literally nothing, and have you even played them on an AGB screen before? Sometimes I wonder if anybody even played these games on the screen and device they were designed for, or if they just bring them up side by side on their PC screen via emulators/screenshots.

I would also point out that a boxed, good condition complete copy of any of these Advance titles (the NES Classics, the Mario World remakes, etc etc etc) would basically hold its value today. So they arent worthless, whereas emulators are worthless

I really like the GBA and I'm sorry to feed the beast, but:

Advance Wars 1 is quite literally Portmake: The Game (just a revamp from SuFami Wars)

Advance Wars 2 is just Advance Wars 1: The Neo-Tank Expansion

Who cares? That doesn't really do anything for you unless you're interested in selling your shit. Acquiring video games as an investment is absurd, just buy fucking stocks or something. I play some games on real hardware and I emulate for others and I have a good time either way.

Kuru Kuru Kururin (pic related) and Mario Golf Advance (surprisingly great as a 3-mins-at-a-time phone game) are the only reasons I've had to play a GBA game for like a decade.

The devs tried to stuff so much stuff in this game that it just becomes confusing and frustrating with the amount of backtracking you have to do.

Never seen a more shit, glass is half empty take before. Stadium takes out the filler shit and focuses purely on the gameplay and battles. Doing a rental team only run of the game has some of the most bullshit, nail biting moments you'll ever get in a pokemon game.

Well, actually... kinda, but not entirely. Grfixx look nicer, but there's many gameplay glitches that hinder the experience. The game was developed for the 64.
