I don't have an account on any video game site, so I'm asking here if there are any good games out there for the GBA, as I've just bought a blank cartridge.
Games I've played: Fire Emblem (6-8), Summon Night Swordcraft Story, Megaman Battle Network (5&6), KH: Chain of Memories, Castlevania (HoD&AoS), Zelda: Oracle of Season/Ages, Pokemon Emerald&Crystal, Tales of Phantasia, Narikiri Dungeon 3, Sword of Mana...there might be a few more, but I can't name them.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advanced.

Edit:I just realised there was a game forum. Can this be moved there please?

Crash Bandicoot?

Golden Sun and Golden Sun II.

NightSwan also said that she wanted to peg me, once, but I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or a threat...

All the FF if you haven't played them already.
And if you didn't play it, Golden Sun 1/2 is probably the best classic JRPG available for that console. (Edit: Crenshinibon anticipated me )
If you're looking for something less known, I think Riviera - The Promised Land is one of those games which haven't got the fame that they would have deserved (it's a curious combination of RPG, strategy and dating sim).
And well, you already mentioned all the other good ones, I can only add Lufia 3 (which is horrible in comparison to Lufia 2, one of the best game EVER, but overall a mediocre game if you don't have anything else to play) and Yggdra Union (which has a particular battle system, so it all depends how you feel about that).

What I like in Trivial Pursuit style. Pick your category:

I installed GBA, played pokemon, finished pokemon, uninstalled GBA...so pokemon...yeah

Pokemon is the main thing I play on my GBA <3. But other things...Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is really good, SimAnimals is fun (you get to throw squirrels 8DD), I like Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. Um...Mario Brothers is usually a good, mindless game to have on hand.

(Can't think of any more at the moment )

Moved to Games forum

Dude, I swear to god. Go download SNESx and play the fan translated version of Tales of Phantasia. There is no comparison.

I'll vouch for any recommendations of Golden Sun. Those games are as close to perfect as classic JRPG formulas will get.

Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga is pretty good.

Uh, if you're into the arcade action type stuff, there's Gun Star Heroes and Astroboy: Omega Factor.

Advance Wars 1/2 is turn based strategy goodness.

Chu Chu Rocket for your action puzzle fix.

Some weird recommendations:

Mr. Driller Ace Strange Bacteria - An awesome arcade game made portable

Rhythm Tengoku - all of your wacky 1-button rhythm minigames.

On this page you aught to find almost all the noteworthy GBA titles.

I personally recomend the Fire Emblem titles, Golden Sun, Castlevania and Zelda games.

oh and the PSX version of Tales of Phantasia is even better, you can get a translated version at either of these places or search on some torrent sites.

There is the GBA version of 月姫(tsukihime), I only played the PC version but if you want to check it out

Wow! Thanks for so many responses

I just finished Riviera (the date sim bit wasn't as bad as expected, considering the game was a harem after act I), now I'm going to try Golden Sun and Advanced Wars (sounds like Fire Emblem, yay)

Did Mother 3 ever get translated/is there a patch that would let me understand it?

I'm not so great at resource management/shooter/rhythm/not fighting strategy games (attention span issues here).

I think I'll also try Mario&Luigi Superstars since 2 people recommended it.

I've already played Minish Cap and Yggdra Union, liked MC (very cute), didn't like YU as much b/c I couldn't understand the activate card system thingy.

Thank you again, now off to many hours of time wasted on games.

There is, but I can't tell you where to get it on the forums.

I can't remember what I played on the GBA, except the Fire Emblem games and Advance Wars 1. I also recommend Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. It's one of the best HMs ever made.
