I've got plenty of GBA games, Super Wario World, Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, Tekken Advance, among others, but my absolute favorite would have to be Duke Nukem Advance. I don't think I've ever gotten into a handheld game as much as this one, and that's saying a lot, considering I've put everything on hold for other handhelds before.

It helps that I'm a Duke Nukem veteran, starting way back when the 2D DN games were new, and haven't stopped since. It stands to reason that I'd pick this game up, and I wasn't disappoinyted at all. Best FPS on the GBA, I say.

Well, anyone else have absolute favorites?

Advance Wars and Powerful Pro Baseball (import) when the GBA first came out and Super Monkey Ball Jr. in the last few months. Nothing in-between really excited me.

Sonic Advance and Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon are my favorites at the moment... mostly because I haven't bought many other games for the system (NHL 2002 was awful, and Golden Sun was overrated... Fire Pro Wrestling is good, mostly because I got it for about $15)

Advance Wars is the game which has blown me away the most with just how awesome and fun it is. I also like Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario Advance 2, Castlevania: COTM, and Golden Sun a lot.

As far as first-person shooters go, I agree that Duke Nukem Advance is probably the best, though Doom II is a great one as well. The first Doom was good (but not the same as the PC version, as many levels were changed or nixed, two of the big bosses were taken out, invisible demons were nixed, and some of the power-ups were taken out), but Doom II is a near-perfect translation of the PC version, with all levels, creatures, textures, and sound effects left in.

I have Metroid Fusion, I finished it, but it's kinda stupid specially the last two bosses, Virtua Tennis, really good tennis game and Doom, it's ok, I don't play it much.
Just my .02

If I had to go with one I'd pick Tactics Ogre. I've put at least 100 hours into that game. And I've only truly finished it once.

Metroid 4 and Advance Wars. Everything else I've played has made me sick (with disgust). Well, maybe Wario Land 4 was fun too, but I'm not a fan of how Wario games play.

Yeah, nothing beats playing promethius-era games on a tiny, dark screen.
