The Game Boy Advance was released in the summer of 2001 as the full-color successor to the Game Boy line with perfect ports of 16-bit new and classic games that were among the best parts of the Super Nintendo era.

The Game Boy Advance was not on the top of popularity, but it still has a great lineup of games beloved by a lot of retro gamers. Nowadays you can easily use various emulators and ROMs to play the best games. Here are the 5 best games to play!

Metroid: Zero Mission

The GBA console is full remakes. That’s not a good practice, but when we speak about Zero Mission, it’s hard to complain about this great remake. Metroid became not so and overly difficult for most gamers in its new Zero Mission 

This original Metroid had better graphics and faster gameplay than Metroid Fusion. This game stunningly combined the classic music and layout of the original together with modern gameplay. Nintendo also fleshed out the story and added some new areas including a section near the end of the game where Samus does not were his iconic power suit to alive. Metroid: Zero Mission is not a long game but it's good as you can play it, again and again, to find every last secret and beat new records. Zero Mission is one of the best GBA games you need to play again.  

Advance Wars

In 2001 Nintendo released Advanced Wars that became one of the best games in the hardcore military strategy simulator niche. Maybe, this game has cartoony graphics and a  light story, but when you start building armies, moving the best units to counter the enemy taking cities you start feeling the depth of this game.

Advance Wars game is arguably one of the best GBA games.

Golden Sun

The GBA was home to a lot of RPG games, but Golden Sun adventure is easily one of the best RPGs on the system. Golden Sun’s puzzles and story maybe not so hard, but figuring out which Djinnneed to use a large bit of strategy. The animation of the magic and summon are considered to be the best graphical effects on the GBA console.

The Lost Age is the sequel of Golden Sun is the next game you need to play if you like a prequel. The ability to transfer characters and items between the two games is a great feature that will let you play Golden Sun again.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

The third Castlevania game on the GBA fixed all the issues with the prior titles to provide us with one of the best games in the entire franchise. The game had a crisp and detailed graphics together with a great soundtrack. In this game, Konami introduced the innovative soul system. You can farm the right souls from enemies and every monster in the game gave you abilities that can be used in your quest.

This game is one of the best in the franchise series and brings us to the new world of Dracula.

Sonic Advance 3

Sonic Advance 3 is one of the last great Sonic games before the blue blur became mediocrity. Sonic Advance 3 has five playable characters with their special abilities. You can pick any two at the start of each level. 

Sonic has a better look than other games with its more cartoonish art-style and huge levels. If you are a fan of Sonic games you should probably get this one to your collection.
