>>9518587
I'd make this top 5
1. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow—must play for everyone. If you pick just 1 game, make it this one.
2. Rhythm Tengoku—best rhythm game I've played. Play if you like quirky games like Wario Ware and rhythm games.
3. Advance Wars—personally not a fan, but those who liked it spent hundreds of hours in it. Very addictive strategy game.
4. WarioWare—quirky and addictive, one of the more original games for GBA. If you've never tried it, do. If you did, still fun to see where it all started from.
5. Metroid Fusion—it's 2D Metroid, enough said. It's great despite some say it's not Super Metroid.
6. Mother 3—not a perfect RPG, but one many people want to play now. Play if you like Earthbound or want an RPG with plot.
7. Wario Land 4—some praise this is as pinnacle of GBA or even best platformer ever, others will write it off as good but ultimately weaker than the GBC ones. Regardless, well worth a try.
8. Mario & Luigi—actually very good RPG, only brought down by bing bang wahoo style and kinda whatever graphics.
9. Kirbies in general—always fun and worth a play. Play if you like Kirby, don't play if you're sick of platformers.
10. Mega Man Zero 3 & 4—decent games, but got pretty overrated recently as some "official canon classics". I beat them all, they're fun and good but not really masterpieces. Play if you like Mega Man X series and / or have played the other 9 games already.
Not on the list:
SNES ports, especially Mario ports—kind of obsolete in current day and age, maybe save for SMW as you can collect dragon coins in it, but that's it.
Pokemons—you either love them or hate them. If you love them, you probably know which ones to play anyway, and may prefer remakes.
Zelda: Minish Cap—it's more Zelda. Play it or skip it, it's alright if you want more ALTTP but thats about it.
Treasure games—no comment.
Mega Man Battle Network—one of those monster / card collect series that just goes on and on. Fuck this series.

After playing through some of the Classicvanias I looked at some gameplay of the GBA games and they look super fun, nice that they're faster paced and they give you more moves (like the Wario Dash thing in Circle of the Moon). I really want to play them and the PS1 games at some point

[Anonymous No.9519151]

I'll take any and every opportunity to sing the praises of Pokemon Pinball Ruby and Sapphire. Had so much actual big grin having fun FUN with this when i played it last year.

>I looked at some gameplay of the GBA games and they look super fun
Aria of Sorrow is arguably best of them all, even better than Symphony of the Night. it is a must play not just on GBA but in general, it's basically perfect metroidvania and the only thing that improved on it was the DS version (is some aspects).
Rest of the GBA Castlevanias is kinda hit or miss, really. Still good games, just not as amazing as Aria.

[Anonymous No.9519250]

I enjoyed the three Spyro GBA platformers. Season of ICe, Season of Fire and Attack of the Rhynocswere all pretty fun. They might not be anything special, but they could be worth looking into. Just avoid Spyro Orange, it's a terrible game and a massive disappointment.

It's Aria of Sorrow better than Circle of the Moon?

[Anonymous No.9519294]

Absolutely. Circle of the Moon can be hit or miss. You may like it a lot in the end (or not), but I think anyone with half a brain will tell you Aria is still the best of the three.

sounds like you havent even played it. this is "animu graphics"? it's like a mix of warioware and rhythm. the games are all soulful and excellent. there's even a bunch of minigames in it that could as well be their own games. if it's "shit" to you, then I don't know? too bad? maybe you hate WarioWare too? sucks to be you, then.

Warioware

[Anonymous No.9531426]

>Wario Land 4
Considered by many to be the pinnacle of the series (I prefer WL3), due to it's tight streamlining of controls, every level having more unique level design, and easy replayability due to it's short length.

>Metroid Fusion
>Metroid Zero Mission
2D Metroid created by the WL4 team. Fusion is a bit of a black sheep due to it's heavy narrative focus and linearity and Zero Mission is a remake of Metroid 1 but overall both games are still very good.

>Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
If you want Metroid Kirby. I love it though reading the in-game map will be frustrating, it's only real downside

>Game & Watch Gallery 4
If you want to replay old G&W classics but with Mario characters.

>Fire Emblem
>Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones
Still in my opinion the better of the Fire Emblems compared to the later entries. Also obviously the first two games released in the west. Good for a beginner's entry into strategy RPGs
