Game Boy Advance Games

Although the Nintendo DS has stolen some of the GBA's thunder, the GBA's truly handheld size, a price drop, and surge in new titles keeps it as an attractive system. Retro appeal rules many of the system's titles.

The Most Advances GBA Games

Mario Tennis: Power Tour : Pick up a virtual racket and head to the courts with Mario, Luigi and the gang. This may not be as realistic a tennis simulation as vein of Top Spin, but it's much more goofy fun.

Drill Dozer : Control an ingenious vehicle that combines aspects of both bulldozers and drills into one as you plow through levels. The game cartridge is equipped with a motion sensor, which adds some flavor to the gameplay.

Mario Kart: Super Circuit : Every Nintendo system has a superb Mario Kart game. It's the usual drill -- play as one of the Mario world characters and kick some booty on the go-kart track. There's also a multiplayer option if you've got a friend with a GBA and the game.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap : Unlike usual adventures with green-clad, sword-wielding Link and the Legend of Zelda series, this one features a magical hat that shrinks you down to the size of an ant. Shifting sizes back and forth, you slay monsters, solve mysteries and restore peace to the kingdom.

Metroid Fusion : Play as interstellar bounty hunter Samus Aran in an intergalactic quest. The game mixes equal parts shooter and puzzler.

Wario Ware: Twisted : Another motion detector title, this time involving madcap minigames. This is a true all-ages package that's easy to play for kids and yet still challenging for adults.
