Same response someone else gave in the last thread, but a flash cart. Specifically so you can play Mother 3 and Boktai 3, in English. Boktai 1 and 2 were going to be my main recommendations otherwise. They're incredibly overlooked Kojima titles that need more love (kind of like Zone of the Enders). I'd say those two, mixed with some other games people have mentioned (Astro Boy, Advance Wars 2, Metroid and Vania) make up probably the best GBA games.
If you aren't willing to do a flash cart, then I still recommend both Mother 3 and Boktai 3 if you're up for using online translations, these games really should not be overlooked.

Yeah, this. I think the EZ-Flash IV is the only one still readily available for the GBA, but I recently dumped the Mother 3 translation onto mine and it has worked like a charm so far. Definitely worth your time.

F-Zero is pretty cool.
Just whatever you do, don't get Jackie Chan. It's awful.

I'm honestly not the guy for flash carts, but i will consider it for the JPN Games.
Cause i really like to still have something physical, even if i have enough games for other console lying around here already.

Bassicaly, as close as you will get to Super Smash Bros. on the GBA.
If you like RPG's, I recomend you:
Summon Night: Swordcraft Story. Pretty much one of the best games on the console. mixing RPG with fighting was just glorious!
Shining Soul II and Sword of Mana. both are great action-RPG's.
Onimusha Tactics. If you like Advance Wars or FF tactics.
And Baldur's Gate if, like me, you like more "western" RPG's. it's pretty much "Diablo goes GBA"

Because i have looked around a bit.
Guess i will get a Flash card for Japanese Patched Games.
Does anybody have some suggestions there? I also like games based on Animes, like for example "Love Hina Advance".

Seriously?
This is a forum that promotes a community where people make music based on, with, inspired by, etc., old video game hardware. And you're surprised/confused/chagrined when people ask for video game recommendations?
You should be happy OP put this thread in the Nintendo Handhelds section.
8bc is dead. This scene is TINY. People want to socialize and chat about shared interests as much as they want to share music. I think it's reasonable to assume shared interests might include video games. Sure, OP could have googled "best GBA games", but maybe OP wants the opinions of some like-minded souls on this site. I don't understand why that is so upsetting to some people.
If you don't want to see these threads, maybe you should beg the mods to create a video game recommendation section and disconnect it from the home page so they don't have to briefly offend you.

Thank you so much. You are a light in this dark Internet community.

Seconded, although the story is told really childishly and the maps get really hard really fast.
