Mario Golf and the Pokemon card game. I'm not into Pokemon at all but the card game is decent

For the love of all that is holy, if you enjoy RPGs at all get both of the Golden Sun titles. Amazing games.
*Note: Have not played the third one for DS, so I can't vouch for it.

Other than those, the Breath of Fire ports are good, Final Fantasy 1+2 Dawn of Souls is good (and the Rebirth scenario for FF2 is quite fun) as well as the other Final Fantasy titles (FF4, 5, and 6 Advance, and Tactics Advance),the Castlevania titles (I only really put time into Harmony of Dissonance and Circle of the Moon), lastly Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past w/4 Swords multiplayer. Those are the ones I still have anyway.

Oh, and either Pokemon FireRed or LeafGreen, they let you run faster right from the start I think, instead of having you go super slow until you get the bike!

Fictionvision: Castlevania Double Pack is probably my favorite on the system. If you are a Castlevania fan it is worth getting as it contains Aria of Sorrow and Harmony of Dissonance. It will probably be expensive unless you find a used one in a pawn shop or something.

Metroid Zero Mission and Fusion. Like before, if you like Metroid, check these games out. Zero Mission is the better game, but Fusion is worth a play through.

Final Fantasy 4-6. Nice remakes with extra content for each. I played through 4 and 5 and had fun revisiting the old games.
Didn't pay that much for all three Castlevania games on GBA via eBay, actually. I've got Aria of Sorrow, Harmony of Dissonance and Circle of the Moon. All 3 are quite good.

this would likely be faster if I downloaded an emulator and ROM's but it wouldnt have the nostalgia factor as much as holding the GBA itself. I even found its power cable :-)

Off the top of my head:
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy V
Metal Slug Advance (JP ver. has blood, which is censored in English releases, but it's still good)
Castlevania games
Final Fantasy I+II
Riviera: The Promised Land
Kirby games

naytk: Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis
I'll strongly second this suggestion.

I go with some previous postings and recommend definitely the Castlevania Games. All of them are good, but Aria of Sorrow is my personal favourite on the GBA.

On my GBA I had the most fun with the Castlevania games and the Fire Emblem games.

The remakes of FF IV to VI are good too, as are the Advance War games.

Ok, now some more serious answer :P

Rayman games and Pokemon Gold / Silver or others are the only ones you need :D

To be honest, GBA has a huge library of awesome games...

I really enjoyed the Megaman Battle Network series. I think that one wasn't mentioned yet.

My recommendations for GBA:

• Metroid Fusion; if you like it, consider also buying the Zero Mission;
• Advance Wars or the sequel, which have the editor and you can balance the battles by giving the AI more resources than you have; owning both is not essential as the sequel introduces very little new material;
• Golden Sun and its sequel, unless you really dislike the japanese-style RPG progress;
• Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow; if you like it consider buying Circle of the Moon, which feels a bit rough, but much better than the (in my opinion) very mediocre Harmony of Dissonance.

And for GBC:

• The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, which combine into one large game and if you like the experience, also Link's Awakening DX.


I am very fond of Pocket Soccer, but I'm guessing that people in general probably wouldn't be very impressed by it.

Summon Night 1 and 2 great games then there's:
Advance Wars series
Bomberman Tournament
Golden sun 1 and 2
Fire Emblem series
Medabots AX
Megaman Battle network series
Dragon Ball Z legacy of Goku series and Buu's Fury
Boktai the sun is in your hand
Onimusha tactics
Final Fantasy series + tactics
Shining Soul series
River City Ranson EX
and
Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone

I know many many more games but this should suffice for now
