Must haves for the GBA?

I'm considering shelling out the cash to buy one of these little bastards and was wondering if any of you guys have experience with it.

Is it worth it? Is it not? And what are the must best titles out right now?

I have a GBA, i only have 2 GBA titles though, but i have 6 original(black & white... well dark green & off yellow) games aswell... i would suggest some of the sport wise: Tony Hawk games, in stratagy: Advance Wars (1 and/or 2, both are GREAT!!), if your in to side scrollers(like me) Teen Age Mutant Ninja turtles is kool i have X-MEN Reign of Apocalypes, but its a rare game it took me 2 years to hunt down a used copy... its alot like the original X-MEN from the arcade... but if you want cute there's always Yu-gi-oh & pokemon.... or Elmo's number adventure(this is for pre-schoolers!), i hope this helped!

If yopu liked Symphony of the Night on PS1, I would definately check out the three Castlevania games on GBA: Circle of the Moon, Harmony of Dissonance, and Aria of Sorrow...those are my favorites - especially Aria of Sorrow.

If you are a DragonballZ fan, I'd recommend getting Legacy of Goku 2, but I'd avoid getting the first one as it sucks.

If you like games like Diablo, check out LOTR: The Two Towers and Return of the King. They are quite long and have a pretty good amount of replay value.

Hm... I'm still not posititve.

I see some good suggestions but does any one have any experience with those flash cards that'll let you write your roms on to GBA carts?

The SP looks pricey enough without having to pay for any games. My experiance with stuff like those flash cards though has been "...if it seems too good to be true..."

I wouled not trust that Flash card thingie better get a orgnal copy of the game it maybe may cost more but it´s a lot safer in a way and will definetly work.

FFT:A and Advance Wars are the way to go. Oh, and the most fun I've ever had playing a handheld game was the original Grand Theft Auto with the inverted colors or whatever (looks like a negative).

...omg thats so fun

The idea behing those thingies is that you have a blank re-writable (I'm assuming) cart with about 500 megs of memory that you can dump mutiple GB, GBC, and GBA roms onto and play them on the go, instead of in front of this screen.

I believe some of the hardware actually works backwards and lets you dump the games so that you have the roms of the games you've bought backed up. Then you could obviously share if you wanted too as well.

The hardware and the flash cards aren't cheap so I'm wondering if they live up to any/all of their promises. If they do I'd go and buy a GBA tomorrow as well as start down loading complete sets.

My suggestions;

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance;
Metroid Fusion;
Splinter Cell;
Golden Sun 1&2;

And...That's about all I can think of at the moment. I only own FFT-A and Metroid Fusion for my GBA SP though. The rest of my GBA games are ROMs. xD
