Infendo's list of the Top 10 Must-Buy GBA Games definitely includes ten great games. We approve of Infendo's drive to fill the neglected bottom cartridge slot of the DS with excellence. However, it comes off as a list of the Top 10 First-Party GBA games, with no representation of third-party publishers at all. Every single game on the list, even Final Fantasy VI Advance, was published by Nintendo.We know that Nintendo fans tend to be loyal to Nintendo even to the exclusion of other companies that publish on Nintendo consoles, but a list of great Game Boy Advance games should really have at least one Castlevania game on it. Technically, the NES Castlevania is included as "anything from the Classic NES Series," but that's not what we're talking about. We're specifically talking about the three original Castlevania games made for the system. We'd personally include Astro Boy: Omega Factor as well, but we understand that to be a matter of opinion. And we've grown used to not seeing Super Dodge Ball Advance on best-of lists, because the world is a terrible place. The full list is posted after the break.
- The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
- Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
- Pokemon Sapphire/Ruby Version
- Mario Kart Super Circuit
- Metroid Fusion
- Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
- Golden Sun
- Final Fantasy VI Advance
- Fire Emblem
- Anything from the Classic NES Series

@Pizza Pasta:
Aww... I liked Metroid Fusion. Then again, I never played Zero Mission.
Wait.
Why the HELL have I not played Zero Mission!?

That list is absolutely horrible. Minish Cap is by far the worst Zelda game ever produced (and I'm including the CDi releases in that statement), and Golden Sun is panned by most hardcore RPGamers. Not to mention Aria of Sorrow is one of the best games for any system, not just GBA, so it should most certainly be included on the list. Poor list, IMO.
