Anyone who even remotely likes 2D games needs a GBA ASAP, the shmup genre is the only one its lacking in. I think the Gameboy Player is the most used item on my Gamecube at the moment.

[Mattiekrome]

Hmmm... the only real modern system I play a decient bit...

I'd go with...

Fire Emblem : Sacred Stones
Mario Golf Advance
Super Dodge Ball (addicted to it)
Metroid: Fusion

[Ed Oscuro]

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance is great, sticks to classic Castlevania a bit more than Aria of Sorrow (though CotM is the most like a classic CV by far).

[Haoie]

Tales of Phantasia, which I always loved, will be out in a week.

I'm going to look over it very careful and compare it with the DEJAP version.

[Julio III]

Kuru Kuru Kururin

by far the best game I've played on the GBA

I also really enjoyed:
Astro Boy - Omega Factor
Sonic Pinball Party

Harvest Moon is fun too.

[JJNova]

This is probably going to sound dumb, but Super Mario World has gotten more gemplay in my GBA and DS than any other single title. I've topped out the score, and beat all 96 levels. Now I am working on collecting all the Dragon Coins (not much further). I would max out the life count, but everyone know you can just pick up extra lives in Top Secret Area.

The Metroid titles are next in line. Both Fusion and Zero Missions.

I played Goldensun for a long itme, but saved my game immediately before fighting the end boss, and I'm not powerful enough to even stand a chance. So that game went back in the box without being conquered.

[Spycee]

My top 10 :

Astro Boy : Omega Factor
Castlevania : Aria of Sorrow
Castlevania : Harmony of Dissonance
Final Fantasy I and II: Dawn of Souls
Final Fantasy IV Advance
Legend of Zelda : The Minish Cap
Mario & Luigi : Superstar Saga
Metroid Fusion
Metroid Zero Mission
Sigma Star Saga

[Hammy]

My top 10 in no perticular order:

Advanced Wars
Advanced Wars 2
Sonic Advance
Tekken Advance
Kuru Kuru Kururin
Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper
Street Fighter Turbo Revival
Super Puzzle Fighter 2
Bubble Bobble Old And New (only for the old version!)
International Karate +

[Red Hedgehog]

I still have a mountain of unplayed GBA games (many of which have been recommended above), but of the ones I've played, these ones are great:

Advance Wars
Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
Astro Boy: Omega Factor
Bubble Bobble: Old and New (I got two copies just for the multiplayer)
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Chu Chu Rocket (just the multiplayer)
Golden Sun
Jet Grind Radio
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past w/ 4 Swords (again, just the multiplayer)
Mario Gold: Advance Tour (surprisingly addicting)
Metroid: Zero Mission
Puyo Pop
Wario Ware Inc.: Mega Microgame$!

[Snapple]

Final Fantasy Tactics

As a big FFT fan, I an obligated to be a nitpicky jerk and point out that Final Fantasy Tactics (PS1) is very different from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I, like a very large portion of FFT fans, strongly dislike FFTA, so I don't want anyone to confuse the titles.

Favorite GBA game? Eh... Advance Wars 1 and 2, I guess.
