Just wondering as I'm a huge current-gen collector, especially my GBA games as I'm trying to complete the set one day for the handheld :D .

Currently on a good start as I own 202 GBA games, if you would like to check them out go here:

Also if you can think of any games I should look out for...please post them. Thanks :)

I would love to collect all Nintendo handheld games but I simply can't afford to at the moment. I love the small boxes and the box art is always nice.

I pick them up when I can, but it's not a primary focus.

That's a heck of a lot of GBA games... any idea how many there are total?

I have been slowly collecting complete GBA games. I just picked-up FF Tactics and Advance Wars 1 on Ebay. I have 104 complete games for the GBA. 8-)

I buy the games I really want to play, but I don't actively collect for GBA.

Wow nice, 202 games :) The link doesnt work btw. I'd rather see some pics than a list if possible.

I dont collect GBA games, I only buy the ones I want to play or if I see a cheap game I might buy it anyway.
I have around 30 GBA games I think.

As with the GB and the GBC, the GBA is a "shovelware" platform for many companies. There are a lot of fantastic games for the GBA but there are far more hopeless wrecks. I buy all the good games I can, but as for collecting everything I can for the system... you sir, are a braver man than I. LOL

There are over 1000 GBA games so you have to spit out alot of money to get a complete collection :) Good luck.

I'm thinking of just collecting for the GBA only too. So far I have 9 games. It's such an awesome system!

While I have no interest in a complete collection for any Game Boy platform, I do collect lots of stuff for all GB generations. There's loads of great software out there.

I just scored the following, complete, for $16 like a week ago:

-Castlevania Adventure
-Gargoyles
-Metroid II
-Alleyway

I'll really play a decent bit of all but probably Gargoyles. I never owned Alleyway before this.

I think it's closer to 600, if we're looking at US releases.

Might be, but if you have all US games it isnt a complete GBA collection. You must count all european and japanese games too :)

I have close to 50 but I'm not trying to collect or anything.

The GBA garbage to good ratio is even more junk filled than Playstation so good luck. Also GBA titles will be expensive for a while seeing as how the DS has backwards compatibility.

Same here...I've bought a few that I really wanted, but I usually wait until they're under $10 for my collection. I've got 122 complete games so far, 3 GBA's and 2 SP's.
