    Default A few questions about the soon-to-be-extinct GBA library

    OK, guys, we live in an age where technology is made and remade at light-speed. Progress is great, but at the rate it moves, it can easily leave people in the dust. Case in point, I'd like to point out to you Exhibit A: The Nintendo DSi. A sweet little machine that comes complete with enough useless bells and whistles to even make the PSP's head spin. However... We all know the fatal flaw of the machine: The axing of its GBA game slot.

    So, gamers of TPM, my original DS is nearing the end of its life. And until Nintendo decides to make a DS Virtual Console, so is my ability to play GBA games, which I've shamefully played very, very few of. That's what I've come to ask you: What GBA games are must-buys/must-tries?

    I asked /v/ and got a very useful copypasta'd list of games; between games I already own/owned, games I'm not interested in, and games I could barely even pronounce, I trimmed the list down to these titles/franchises:


    -Advance Wars
    -Alien Hominid
    -Bomberman Max
    -Bomberman Tournament
    -Breath of Fire
    -Capcom Classics Mini Mix
    -Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow/Harmony of Dissonance
    -Chu Chu Rocket!
    -Crash Bandicoot GBA
    -Dr. Mario & Puzzle League
    -Duke Nukem Advance
    -F-Zero Climax/Legend/Maximum Velocity
    -Final Fantasy I/II: Dawn of Souls
    -Final Fantasy Advance
    -Fire Emblem
    -Golden Sun
    -Gradius Galaxies
    -Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town
    -Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land/Kirby and the Amazing Mirror
    -Klonoa GBA
    -LOZ: The Minish Cap
    -Mario Kart Super Circuit
    -Mario vs. Donkey Kong
    -MegaMan Battle Network
    -Mega Man Zero
    -Metroid Fusion/Zero Mission
    -Mr. Driller 2
    -Pokemon Emerald
    -Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
    -Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
    -Sonic Advance 1
    -WarioWare, Inc.


    What is missing from that list, and what can be axed off of it?
