All nintendo game boy advance games

A masterpiece then and still worth playing today, this was old-school Final Fantasy at its very best. The second Fire Emblem game to be given an international release--and the eighth game in the series in its native Japan--The Sacred Stones was notable for being the final Fire Emblem on the Game Boy Advance.

While it didn't massively shake anything up in the formula--aside from some more player-choice and branching class progression--Sacred Stones was still a reliably polished entry with an epic storyline, strategic gameplay, and bright graphics. While both games have admittedly taxing openings, pushing past those introductory grinds reveals pure RPG bliss.

Visually decadent, memorable on the audio front, and jam-packed with uniquely rich gameplay features and a memorable cast, Golden Sun is a fantasy epic for the ages. For his sophomore effort though, the pink bubble with cute attitude had a grander plan in mind that involved teaming up with his fellow Kirbies to save the day.

A feature that worked best when you and three other friends linked up your Game Boy Advance consoles, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror is still a great Kirby adventure that uses its trademark gameplay to craft a fun tale with delightful mini-games, puzzles, and even some Metroidvania influences. After dabbling with Ocarinas and wind-altering conductor batons, Link's next adventure involved a talking hat by the name of Ezlo that could shrink him down in size and help explore the world of the Minish: bug-sized inhabitants who require some help from the hero in green.

Minish Cap was your typical Zelda adventure, blending action and puzzles together while Link searched the land for artifacts of power that could help him out on his quest against memorable villains. It also looked stunning on the Game Boy Advance, with the world around Link benefitting from the vibrant colors and adorable art design that defined the era of Wind Waker and would continue with several entries on the Nintendo DS.

No matter the generation, Nintendo will never fail to capitalize on the nostalgic success of The Legend of Zelda. Years removed from his NES and SNES days, Link's arrival on the Game Boy Advance looked better than ever and also benefitted from the console's sound chip to give him more life in the vocal department.

The real treat here though was Four Swords, a multiplayer quest that allowed for up to four friends--who each had to have their own separate copy of the game and a Game Boy Advance--to link up and take on a multiplayer-only quest. It was an ambitious extra, but one that rewarded players with a new dungeon in A Link to the Past and bragging rights once they completed it. Mario Golf: Advance Tour is the type of game that would hit a hole-in-one even if it didn't have Nintendo's most bankable characters attached to it for brand recognition.

A mechanically superb spin on golf that adds surprisingly great RPG elements to the mix, Mario Golf on the Game Boy Advance went the extra 18 holes with its extra mini-game modes, multiplayer options, and charming aesthetic when it teed off.

Mario Kart on the Game Boy Advance might not be a visual tour de force after all these years, but the game still has appeal in the areas that count. It has dozens of tracks to zip around, a solid roster of characters to burn rubber with, and it provides plenty of challenge across various difficulty levels. It may not have added anything new to the Mario Kart formula when it was first released, but it's still a handheld version of Nintendo's addictive kart-racing series that's predictably brilliant with its familiar and fun takes on series staples.

Read our Mario Kart: Super Circuit review. Mario was no stranger to games with an RPG focus, but Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga holds a special place in the hearts of fans for its wickedly hilarious story and bonkers visuals. Mechanically though, the game is an absolute treat thanks to the appearance of Luigi, which adds an extra layer of fun to any combat encounter.

The BeanBean Kingdom that players explored was whimsical, and the laugh-a-minute antics between Nintendo's favorite brothers made for a uniquely weird RPG when it first came out in Mario and Donkey Kong's original feud was reignited on the Game Boy Advance, but with a brand new twist that saw you control Mario and the Mini-Mazzas.

An absolutely delightful combo of puzzles and platforming action, Mario vs. Donkey Kong managed to re-bottle the lightning magic of the arcade original for a new generation of gamers, kickstarting an entirely new series of rematches between the plumber and his simian adversary. Read our Mario Vs Donkey Kong review.

Collect rings and the seven Chaos Emeralds. The difference this time is that Dr. Robotnik has gone, and his nephew Dr Eggman is the new antagonist. This side-scrolling platformer has everything that I love about Sonic titles. With over 1. Some people think black cats are bad omens. Here, he finds four passages leading to four different worlds. There is plenty of mad action in Wario Land 4. It once made wishes come true but is now full of evil.

Remember Meta Knight? He then defeats the real Meta Knight and smashes the Amazing Mirror into fragments. This game has all of the usual Kirby antics and actions. You can choose to go whichever way you want first, making it a little like an open-world title. Fans of the Smash Bros. Their inclusion in the franchise, as well as the success of Advance Wars, is what prompted Fire Emblem to be released in the West and go on to become such a huge success.

Fire Emblem is a tactical role-playing game. There are lots of epic battles, characters with mythical-sounding names, treasure chests, and family conflicts. Oh, and there are dragons too. Fans of skateboarding who were too chicken to kickflip off a set of stairs in real life yep, that was me could bust out some kick-ass moves on their favourite handheld without having to worry about broken bones. You could pull off all of your favourite tricks from the original game and even listen to shortened instrumental versions of your favourite tracks to get you in the zone.

The GBA port of Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 had all of the main features of the home console version without the multiplayer or level editing options. The simplified controls made it easy to play on the go, and the graphics were pretty good for the time too.

Making a 2D game with an overhead perspective look as though the characters are actually jumping up halfpipes and ollieing off ledges is impressive, so this title more than deserves a place in our list of the best GameBoy Advance Games of all time.

Who would have thought that a game with the weirdest bunch of characters led by Wario, of all people, would go on to be such a huge success and span over four consoles! Wario Ware Inc: Mega Microgames is one of the best GameBoy Advance games for kicking back after a long day and competing against yourself at impossibly unfathomable minigames that would be too dangerous to try and make sense of.

These fast-paced games will have you laughing, crying, shouting, sighing, jumping for joy, and eventually crying again all in the space of around 35 seconds. The player must head out on a mission to try and stop the magical powers of alchemy from being released throughout the world of Weyard. Turn-based play, collectables, new and exciting powers and intriguing characters make this story one that you will be itching to play on your way home from work. Golden Sun ends almost on a cliffhanger, so make sure that you have both games before you set off on your adventure.

It would have been a crime not to include Final Fantasy Tactics Advance in our list of the best Gameboy Advance games! Like Ogre Tactics, this Final Fantasy spin off is a mind-bending tactical title that requires the patience of a saint and the brains of the God of War himself.

As the player, you must put together the ultimate band of fighters and complete a series of epic battles. The game follows four children from a small town who find themselves in some sort of parallel world after messing around with a magical book. Tactics Advance is another Square classic and a superb game to kick back with a cup of tea after a hard day at work. Unless you work as an army tactician expert, that is, then you might want to have a go at Harvest Moon to let off a bit of steam instead!

Epic music, side-scrolling skeletons, and dangerous dungeons. The combination of mind-bending puzzles with terror-inspiring enemies slight over exaggeration is a surefire winner.

Plus, the characters and storylines are always super memorable. Dracula died back in when the Belmont Clan finally put an end to his devious ways. There are various characters that Soma must interact with and battle against as he progresses through the game.

In true RPG style, character attributes such as attack-points and magic can be levelled up as you progress through the game. Back in the day, this artistic style was very different to the pre-rendered styles of Donkey Kong Country and Earthworm Jim. The GBA graphics are lighter and brighter, but still capture that exciting feel of the original home console version. It also features my favourite Nintendo character of all time; Shy Guy. There are lots of collectibles and puzzles to solve, and the game itself is joy to play right from the moment you turn on your GBA.

Mario has proved his worth in lots of different games over the years and shown that he is more than capable of heading up a game on his own. Metroid Fusion , like its predecessors, is a side-scrolling, open-world adventure game with plenty of puzzles, shooting, space-age battles, and weird-looking enemies.

Samus has to defeat infected foes to obtain parts of her power suit and lost abilities, but she still looks super awesome on the front cover! From the GBC to the DS, these games are fun to play on any platform and have a playability factor that for outlasts the recommended completion time. Each character has different abilities that give are useful in different situations. And unlike other Mario games, enemies must be defeated by throwing things at them such as radishes.

In true Mario fashion, each of these worlds has its own obstacles to overcome. All of the usual suspects return as enemies to defeat, including Shy Guy who is moonlighting in a few games in this list.

The inclusion of the Mario Bros. Arcade game one of our best MAME games is a nice touch too. With Pokemon fever spreading across the globe once more after the release of Pokemon Sword and Shield, it seems only right that we pay homage to these three amazing pocket monster titles. The battles run primarily in the same style as Red and Blue, apart from the aforementioned changes, and the gameplay is, as you would expect from a Pokemon game, truly awesome. Put your Switch down and go back to where some of your favourite features began.

So believe me when I say that it was a close call between this title and the game that took the Number 1 spot in our list of the best GameBoy Advance games ever. The gameplay is perfect, bringing the best parts of Links Awakening and A Link To The Past together and mixing them with some fresh and exciting ideas that take Link to a-whole-nother level. That level is, thanks to the Ezlo the Minish Cap, super small.

Give it a go, and tell us what you think! Mario Kart is, and always will be, one of the best games that Nintendo has ever made and a deserved winner of the top spot in our list of the best GameBoy Advance games ever made. You might not think that the first portable outing of Mazza and the gang is such a big deal, what with Mario Kart Tour now available for pretty much every smartphone under the sun, but it is…was…you get the idea. Mario Kart: Super Circuit was a huge success, and the fact that you could play Mario Kart on the bus, at the back of the classroom, or with your mates at the park was just out of this world.
