Empire of Dreams is a side-story set between the events of the two console Klonoa games. Then again, what else would you expect? Rebelstar was created by the same guy behind X-Com , Julian Gollop. In fact, some may find its more cartoony style jarring when paired with this style of gameplay, but Rebelstar certainly makes for a unique experience compared to the other tactics games out there. The final days of any gaming platform are a dark time typically defined by sporadic releases and shovelware.
A Switch port was even released in Japan last year, so keep your fingers crossed that it makes its way stateside. Game Freak will always be known for the massively successful Pokemon franchise, but the developer has occasionally dabbled in other genres. The best of those experiments has to be Drill Dozer : a game about drilling. Need to go forward? Try drilling. Also drilling. What about jumping? Yeah, that actually involves drilling, too. It adds quite a lot to the experience.
Like most of the games in the Treasure catalog, Astro Boy: Omega Factor features fast arcade gameplay, massive screen-filling special attacks, and some of the most beautiful sprites the GBA could produce. However, a re-release of this gem could mark a great comeback for the legendary developer if the licensing could be worked out.
The game feels like a lost classic from the bit era. Yet, Ninja Five-O was set up to fail from the start. Even though the game was developed in Japan, it was never even released there. Media outlets also barely covered it. Even an authentic standalone cartridge will set you back several hundred dollars. You know what, though?
Chris Freiberg TheChrisFreiber. You know that feeling when Reploid robots are trying to impersonate humankind and all hell is breaking loose? The graphics in this side-scrolling gem are superb, as is the story line. Hundreds of years after the end of Megaman X, Zero is awoken by a human scientist named Ciel.
She has banded together with a gang of robots to form a resistance. Island Attack loosely follows the plot of the third Jurassic Park film. Players control Alan grant and must run through eight levels to get from a crash site to the coast. Levels are split into free-roam or forward-running. Have you ever laid awake at night wondering what a Ninja version of Hawaii Five-O might look like?
Well, Ninja Five-O is the answer! I moustaches in sight in this game. Make sure to purchase an original version and not an imitation copy; they should be pretty easy to tell apart. Why is it called JR? Well, this game is a portable version of the GameCube classic, but Super Monkey Ball Jr more than holds its own in the simian-rolling canon! The premise of JR remains the same. Control Ai-Ai and the gang while hurtling towards a goal along insane tracks.
Critics loved this game, and rightly so. Mario Tennis: Power Tour takes the 45th spot on our list of the best Gameboy Advance games of all time. Who would have thought that an RPG tennis title would ever have worked, but it does! Players move around an overworld map chatting with characters before diving into tennis action.
Becoming the ultimate tennis star is never something that I though I would strive for in my life, but Mario Tennis changed all that. The graphics are surprisingly good for a Tennis game too. The series has that classic N64 game feel to it and features lush backgrounds and vibrant colours. Plus, the Story mode will have you hooked in seconds.
Seriously, this is a fun game to play and even has a nice multiplayer mode too. Tennis never looked or felt so good. This classic remake has a Streets of Rage feel to it, with two players being able to play simultaneously while cleaning thugs off the streets. Haggar, Cody, and Guy all have different abilities and skills, as well as tastes in clothing. Check out those get-ups!
Use combos, throw stuff, and smash the heck outta bad guys as you work through each of the levels in the fictional world of Metro City. There is no better way to de-stress than with Final Fight One. Beyblade: G-Revolution takes the 43rd spot in this list of the best Gameboy Advance games ever made.
Like Pokemon, Beyblade follows a similar, if less sophisticated RPG set-up, with players battling opponents using Beyblades. Most of the games follow the general theme of the popular anime series, with many pieces available for purchase online once your GBA runs out of juice.
Beyblade and Pokemon may be on separate levels entirely, but this game is still fun to play and a must-have for anime fans. Digimon: Battle Spirit is a fun side-scrolling game that sees the monsters take charge, not the trainers. Instead of following the path of a trainer like in Pokemon, players move Digimon through levels, battling other digital monsters along the way.
Rounds are fought one-on-one, with coloured orb collection deciding which Digimon emerges victorious. Each Digimon knows only a handful of moves, so fans might be slightly disappointed by the simplified nature of the game. It plays very much the same as every other Metal Slug game, bar the fact that this offering looks better and works on a plane or a train. Collect cards by shooting scenery and saving hostages.
There are to collect, each card unlocking new information, abilities, or slugs to enhance the game. WarioWare Twisted follows the same theme as the other games in the series.
Each game lasts around 3 to 5 seconds, with players twisting and spinning their GBA to complete challenges. The Twisted cartridge houses a gyro sensor that adds to the general feeling of madness. It helped to set this title apart from others in the canon and to garner tonnes of awards in the process! Next up on our list of the best Gameboy Advance games of all time is Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance! Harmony of Dissonance is the second vampire slaying title in the canon for the GBA.
The Belmont Clan are back, as is Dracula. These guys never seem to stop battling each other, though I suppose one party is trying to suck the blood from the other….
As with many of the early Castlevania titles, Harmony of Dissonance follows a 2D side-scrolling style of gameplay. Ghoulish and ghastly enemies are ten-a-penny in this game, along with all of the demonic backgrounds and scenery that make these titles so great.
The legendary whip makes a comeback, as do other projectiles such as holy water. The game might not be the best rated in the Castlevania series, but we love this portable monster-bashing title. Disney characters in an RPG game — it just works! Chain of Memories sits slap bang in-between the two major home console Kingdom Hearts releases.
Expect building stats through collecting and battles like every great RPG ever made. The difference being that Walt Disney has left a major mark on this one.
Fire Emblem games require a tactical mind, and players must maintain a steady nerve if they want to beat some of the weird and wonderful enemies in this RPG title. We all went crazy when this title came out; we had a lot of lost time in the Fire Emblem world to catch up with! This title takes place in the country of Magvel, an area divided into five separate nation-states. It differs slightly from the previous Fire Emblem titles in the series but still revolves around turn-based battles on gridded battlefields and a plot that would make George R.
R Martin proud. With over , units sold throughout , this twin-riffic royal adventure was, and still is, a great success. With leaked news of the Metroid Prime 4 release date , it only seems right to introduce the gnarliest heroine in the galaxy, Samus Aran.
Metroid: Zero Mission is a remake of the very first Metroid game, boasting enhanced graphics and gameplay that really do the original story justice.
The colours are fantastic, the levels are easier to see, and the whole thing feels like a new game in its own right. If you loved the original Metroid title and want to play it on the bus or in the park, then this is one of the best Gameboy Advance games for you. Far from being a direct copy, Metroid: Zero Mission has new mini-levels, bosses, and areas to explore too. Set on Planet Zebes, a world where plasma doors and elevators seem to have been in large supply, Samus must fight Space Pirates and collect suit upgrades.
In the Zero suit, Samus only has limited weapons and has to survive rather than obliterate everything in sight. First up on our list of the best Gameboy Advance games is a character that you should all have come across before. Spyro has to get to the bottom of the mystery, and although the controls have been classed as tricky by some gaming critics, I loved this adventure from start to finish. Spyro is purple, my GBA was purple, and my thumbs went purple for a little while after playing this the first time due to lack of blood.
Rayman Advance is a port of the very first Rayman Adventure. This story takes our legless, armless-wonder through a series of 6 bright and colourful worlds in a mix of Castle of Illusion and Super Mario Bros style action. The next game in our list of the best Gameboy Advance games is a bit of a contraversial one….
I love Worms: World Party , and so did many other gamers out there. I saw it as a natural progression to Worms: Armageddon and another chance to get stuck into some insane-invertebrate-action. Some critics thought that the game lacked any real backbone a little like its characters , and refused to accept it into the franchise. Any game that has weapons such as bazookas, holy hand grenades, and a concrete donkey is alright in my book! You control an army of worms that have to blast the living daylights out of an opposing team of worms using high-powered weaponry.
World Party is the last side-scrolling 2D adventure in the series and a real must have in my opinion. If beating Covid was as easy as destroying the nasty virus baddies in Dr Mario, then I reckon the Retro Dodo team could have become the saviours of the globe by now. It was Tetris with a Mushroom Kingdom vibe, and it made me feel as though I could probably just go out and get a job as a doctor without any problems.
By trapping a virus inside your column or at the end of a line, you can eradicate it from the screen and make the world a healthier place.
Destroy all the virus icons, clear the level, and move onto the next stage. The GBA version has been improved with new graphics and looks a lot fresher. It also comes with Puzzle leage, so you get 2 games for the price of 1. The display is TFT with x pixels resolution and The unit is powered by 2 AA batteries located behind the device. All of these games and many more you can download here in the forms of ROMs.
