Thanks, buddays.I forgot about the Minish Cap. I knew there was a Zelda that I heard of for the GBA. Definitely getting Metroid Fusion & Zero Mission, Alink to the Past, The Minish Cap, some sort of Mario, and a Final Fantasy.(don't know which one, though. I've only played from 7 on up)Don't know if I'll actually have time to go outside and despise how hot it is.

I know all the Final Fantasy games have their own following,but I can't say enough good things about Final Fantasy 3.  I think it was either 5 or 6 in Japan, so be careful when purchasing.  The one with Terra, Locke, Edgar and the rest in it.  Kefka is the bad guy.  Look for that one, still one of the top 3 RPGs I've ever played.

I have heard good things about three. Does that mean 6 is 3 for the GBA????(I'm confused) If that's the case, I'll definitely get that one and work my way down.

I don't anticipate I'll get much response to this, but I'll give it a shot.I'm giving my 5 year old daughter my old GBA SP.  Does anyone have any reccomendations for good GBA games for a five year old?

They have user reviews. You can usally tell by the game title. I see there's going to be a "Dora the Explorer" & "My Little Pony" games coming out soon. The Pokemon series is a pretty laid back RPG. I know my little cousins love it.<a href="http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/">http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/</a>

If I may Mikeyboy, I'd like to steer you away from one title:<img height="525" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/njdmmoe/GBAGame.jpg" width="700" border="0" />Barbie's Horse Adventures Blue Ribbon Race is one of the worst games I've ever played for the GBA.  The controls suck, they're all on diagonals instead of straight.  The game moves VERY slowly.  Jumping gates takes too long, running into a duck can slow you down, there's only like 3 outfits you can dress Barbie up in and you can hardly modify how your horse looks.  Plus the one mini game I unlocked was way too easy.I give this game a 1 out of 10.

Wow. Just picturing Moe sitting there playing Barbies Horse Racing was not only a little disturbing, but incredibley hilarious. "I'm absolutely crying over here."        And I'll take your advice too, Moe.I shan't be picking up this game.
