These are great so I'll just say play those first and give a few more.

Fire Emblem
Fire Emblem Sacred Stones
Pokemon Emerald
Sigma Star Saga (pic related. underrated RPG sidescrolling shooter adventure game)
Summon Night Swordcraft Story
Metroid Zero Mission

If you're a Dragon Ball fan:
DBZ Legacy of Goku (not as good as the others but it's short)
DBZ Legacy of Goku 2
DBZ Buu's Fury

The point of a gba port is it being portable, not the best port to ever exist.

There's the obvious games that I'm sure others will mention.
>Final Fantasy Ports
>Bing Bing Wahoo
>Zelda
>Golden Suns
>Fire Emblem
>Pokemons
>Mega Man Card Games
>Castlevanias
>Metroids
>Wario Ware
>Advance Wars
>F-Zero

But once you get past the big name properties and first party titles, I really want to call these out.
>Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis
Top tier tactics game. Better than FFTA.
>Ninja Five-O
Smooth as fuck action platformer
>Astro Boy: Omega Factor
Side scrolling beat-em-up that had no reason to be this good
>Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku
Trilogy of RPG games covering the Z saga.

Then GBA is still the worst choice, cause you can emulate the SNES version on a 40 dollar chinkheld if you need portable.

FFTA didn't let you build up a hireling so it was super powerful, sacrifice it in battle, resurrect it as an Angel, then sacrifice it again to trap its soul in a sword imbued with its holy powers.
Then repeat the same thing with another character as a Lich.
Then your main is dual-wielding the powers of heaven and hell, in sword form. It was metal as fuck.

Let's at least try digging deeper. The one's mentioned are classics, but c'mon people.

>Street Fighter Alpha 3
The GBA port is a technical marvel.
>Car Battler Joe
is cool.
>Boktai
and the sequel
>>716084824
>Summon Night Swordcraft Story
Yes!
>Mario Kart
The best "2d" mario kart.
>>716086628
Good!
>Shining Soul 2
Very pretty, and you can see the evolution into Contact on DS
>Tony Hawk
Yes, that's right. It was pretty good.
>The MULTIPLAYER part of Link's Awakening
Maybe you have friends? This was fun. Thr gamecube version is better though.
