The GBA castlevania games own
I bought the various flavors of Gameboy just to play the slew of those games.
Apart from Zelda and Pokemon: Castlevania, Metroid, Fire Emblem
Dragon Warrior Monsters for the Gameboy Color was fantastic. It was somewhat similar to pokemon, but had some features that pokemon didn't get for several iterations, like having your monsters follow you around, monster breeding, and multi-monster fighting.
Magi Nation was also good, similar vein to both of them, but felt darker in tone. Although maybe that's just how it seemed to a much younger me.
I'm so happy you mentioned Magi Nation. I just replayed that game not too long ago and still had a blast with it, though I def had nostalgia goggles on. lol

GTA Advanced was a fun one
Came here to add "Dragon Quest Heros: Rocket Slime." It's honestly one of the most fun games I played, and now I'm thinking about digging up my old devices and copy to play tonight.
Mole Mania is pretty fun. And Gameboy donkey Kong is pretty fun, and it's way more than just an arcade port. It's has way more levels and the format is different. It also has a pretty fun move set.
Sonic Advance for Gameboy Advance...
Runner up is Super Momotaro Dentetsu II. A game that makes zero sense if you can't read Japanese, but it is very hilarious if you can and are familiar with the culture. In a nutshell, take the absurd length and buying property element of Monopoly, then the bullshit luck-based elements from Mario Party, mix together with a healthy dose of recreational drugs, and you get this game.
Trailer, Bit of Gameplay... Funny thing is they announced their 24th instalment in the series this year for the Nintendo Switch:
Snood for GBA. Some might remember the PC version of Snood.
Metroid 2, because there's a reason there have been so many fanmade remakes of it...
But I also dug Ultima Runes of Virtue 2... If you ignore the canon. Superior to the SNES version IMO.
Mysterium was also nifty.
That strange Lord of the Rings turn based strategy game.
The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age for GBA, I had so much fun playing hotseat with my friends.
Honourable mentions for: Tetris, Battlebots and The March of Penguins.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance GBA, Links Awakening OG Gameboy
I have been playing Motocross Maniacs off and on for 30 years or so. Back when we had a magazine rack in the bathroom we eventually just left the Game Boy sitting in there.
Golden Sun and its sequel, Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Easily my two GBA favourites.
Golden Sun and Fire Emblem were pretty much all I needed.
The port of FF4 on the GBA was really good.
Original Gameboy, though, I played a LOT of the Tomogotchi game. I don't know why, but I loved that janky garbage pile of a game.
Wario Land 2 was a constant as well.
I loved kid Icarus. Played the shit out of the game when I was a kid. That a Kirby's Dreamland were my two favorites that I can recall right now.
If we're allowed GBA then Zelda Minish Cap or Lego Star Wars.
Here's a short list of my favorites:
- golden sun
- fire emblem
EDIT: ... didn't read the post properly. Updated the list for only game boy games *facepalm

So I grew up playing James Bond 007 on my OG Game Boy. It wasn't the greatest game in the world but it provided hours of fun on car trips when I was a kid.

Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (GBC). I'm convinced it's what got me into JRPGs because of the similarities, despite being a western game. It was localized to my language (Swedish) which was not the case for most games (like pokemon), so young me could actually understand what was going on for once. I really like the art in it too.
Pocket Bomberman (GBC), Wario Land (GB), Wario Land II (GBC), Bubble Bobble Old and New (GBA), Donkey Kong '94 (GB), Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Dream Land 2 (GB), Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland (GBA), Kirby and the Amazing Mirror (GBA), Dr. Mario (GB), Tetris (GB), and Tetris DX (GBC), Mario's Picross (GB).
Been playing road rash (GBC) and its nice
Kirby games are nice too
My favourite GBA game was Metroid Fusion, I wish I still knew where it was
If you own a Switch, it's playable on the GBA app with a Nintendo Switch Online membership.
Not exactly my favorite (because we already know Pokémon is) but I do remember playing Tetris a lot. My mom had bought one of the giant grey Gameboys with black & white display in the early 90's and that thing lasted as long as any of the other handhelds we got throughout the years.
Tetris Attack was my jam!
Mine still works. :D
Mine too!
The Urbz: Sims in the City for the GBA (and also the DS).
This is such a hidden gem on the GBA and my favorite GBA game I had. Had great music as well!
