One more game I forgot: Lady Sia
I'm surprised gaf doesn't even know about this game. it's been years since I played my copy but it was a pretty awesome platformer with nice combat and street fighter input commands for summon attacks and whatnot. The bosses were dick hard though but man if it wasn't a fun ride through.

Ninja Five 0 is $200 new on Amazon 
CIMA: The Enemy is my pick. Neverland-developed isometric action RPG with a unique (but not terribly effective) real-time-strategy system. I really liked the game but very few people I know even talk about it, and if they do it's usually because they don't like it.

MOTHER 3, besides being the best GBA game and the best game of all time, is also quite underrated

I'm probably the only one who enjoyed that game

Has probably been posted a million times in a million other threads, but you gotta love the box art for Karnaaj Rally.
And the fact Seanbaby reviewed it for EGM based solely on said box art. Good times.

Good, somewhat original platformer. Level design never picks up, so it doesn't reach greatness.

Iridion 3D and Nanostray are two of my favorite arcade shooters ever.

Wait, but itsn't this game universally beloved by all peoples, regardless of race, creed, color, gender, sexual preference, etc.?
YES.
But it still so much better than anything else on the GBA that is has to take the crown. Its too good for its own good.

This is actually an awesome game. An RC-Pro Am experience on the GBA, but better. Definitely underrated.

Sonic Advance
I mean, people always go "Sega hasn't made a good classic Sonic game since Sonic 3!!"
But those seem people obviously haven't played Sonic Advance. Sonic Advance is an amazing 2D Sonic game. I love the level design, and the characters play like Sonic 3.

Played this recently. I had a lot of problems with the camera (if you can call it that). Never felt like I had an optimal view of the level, and while the visuals are nice the music is very repetitive.Serenade said:
Still it was alright, could have used some polishing.
I love how so many different games are cropping up as suggestions for the thread title, the GBA library kicks that much ass
There's still plenty of games I missed out on that I want to get round to. I was always interested in Shining Soul but heard meh things about it; should I ignore such impressions?
Also glad to hear Sonic Battle love, it's not exactly an amazing game but it's a surprisingly interesting and comprehensive one. I ended up putting like 25 hours into it.
To give another Sonic example (glad to hear Sonic Advance mentioned, until 4 it was my favourite post-Mega Drive game in the series):
Great pinball game, inventive pinball table designs and appealing presentation due to basing the boards on Sonic Team games (the NiGHTS one is an absolute treat). Though one must mention the impossible story mode (just trying beating Dr Robotnik, just try...). I need to pick up Pinball of the Dead as well

Damn, forgot all about that. I was surprised at how quickly I was sucked in by it.Jazzem said:

This game is fantastic. Dimps (the developer) also made a fantastic One Piece game for the GBA that nobody seems to have played.N4Us said:

Not an under rated game by any stretch of the imagination, but I just picked this up tonight.
Cut me some slack. I'm psyched to finally play this, and how many other active GBA threads are there right now?

You're in for a treat.
There really need to be more RPGs with modest ~20 hour run times like Superstar Saga, the popular notion that anything in the genre not pushing 40 hour plus runtimes is "short" needs to die a horrible death. It just makes for more bloat, not more game.

Why would you do that?

Warioware Twisted is better than the original. Too bad the Europeans never got it...
For me, Twisted < Original < Touched < Smooth Moves
D.I.Y. is a different (awesome) beast whose strong points are different, so I won't rank it.
+1 for Rhythm Tengoku. That and Twisted are the very best on the GBA IMO.
I remember the TMNT game. I don't like "stop-and-go fighters" as I call them, but it is one of the best of the genre I've ever played.

It just kinda sad when you play a game and there's no music at all. Feels depressing.flintstryker said:

I had a damned good LotR loot based RPG on the GBA.
Actually, I'm bookmarking this thread because I don't remember playing much else on that thing. My GBA barely got used

I picked Drill Dozer up a while back for $10 from Target. It seemed like every Target had a stack of 10 of them waiting to be sold that they could just not get rid of.
My Wal-Mart had some that they were selling for $30 up until 2008 when they sold them all. A year later they put out 10 more. They continue to sit there, at the bottom of the DS wall.
What's weird about all of this is that I could absolutely not find a copy when it was first released.
This game has been bizarre with respect to price and availability for me.
