well, i was supposed to get my gba today, but due to ups being fucktards i wont get it until tomorrow.
anyways, i already got mega man zero, plan on getting both castlevania's, and the super mario world port. my question is, is there any lesser known gba titles that anyone here would recommend?

E-Reader and Advanced Wars.
Britney's Dance Beat is a must.
Doom, if you can see it, it's so fucking dark.
Lady Sia is a good platform game
Super Mario World Advance 2
kurukuru, it's a very good time waster

I just treated myself to both Megaman Zero and Golden Sun. Paid $33 Cdn (about $20 US) for MMZero and $40 Cdn (approx. $25 US) for Golden Sun, both complete and used.
Two GBA titles to avoid at all costs: Pitfall!: The Mayan Adventure and Midway's Greatest Hits (which is actually Williams' Greatest Hits; Robotron isn't completely bad, but Defender is unplayable).
Oh, and Sonic Advance is a good game to get if you like Sonic, of course. It's somewhat Sonic 2 Genesis revisited, but it's NOT a remake (in the same way that Metroid Fusion will be à la Super Metroid but won't be Super Metroid). Only thing: Sonic Advance is a bit on the short side, and it plays better with certain characters (Sonic, Tails) than others (Amy).

Advance Wars!!!
(At least, if you like turn-based strategy. I've been playing this game for months now. Very deep.)
Gradius Galaxies!!
(That is, if you like side scroller shmups. It's a new Gradius game, too, not just a retread of an earlier Gradius game. Of course, it has all of the standard Gradius stuff in it, Moai heads included.)

YES! Pinball of the Dead!! You like pinball? You like HOTD? If you like either or both, you simply *NEED* this game. You've gotta see it to believe it.

I have not played it but Super Dodge Ball Advance is as good as the original I would pick that up. Has anyone play Super Dodge Ball Advance?

I'll put in my 2 cents for the Three Stooges and Fortress...Fortress is a real time waster, take Tetris, mix in Rampart, and you have a lot of fun...
