GBA/DS Reccomendations

Well, since there wasn't a thread for those two systems, just thought I'd jump on the bandwagon.

Advance Wars Days of Ruin - Easily the best strategy game on this platform, though hard as hell.
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl - you know, with the pokey and the man and the guy that jumps out of the thing and likes to go BLARRRRGH! (I doubt the Bill Cobsy impression was needed, but I wanted to do it)
Puzzle Quest - Nice little puzzle game Bejeweled clone with RPG elements.

Re: GBA/DS Reccomendations

Has anyone tried Ultimate Mortal Kombat? Solid, good-looking renditions of 2 classic MK games.
As far as GBA goes: There isn't much not to recommend for GBA, but it was a stupid idea porting King of Fighters to GBA because of its weird D-Pad that practically rips your thumb off when you do a fireball, and why are the shoulder buttons attack buttons? It was just stupid.

Don't take this the wrong way but, why does the regular ds have a gba port? Because it's technically not a gameboy.
Anyway when it comes to games I'd suggest
for gameboy advance
Pokemon mystery dungeon red rescue team
Sonic advanced
All basic pokemon games

And for DS
Drawn to life
Pokemon mystery dungeon blue rescue team (you could have seen that one coming)
Pokemon diamond in perl
Smackdown vs. raw O8
Final fantasy II

I'd assume because some games for DS require you to have a certain GBA game in.

I.E. Mega Man ZX you need Mega Man Zero 3 or 4 to fight Omega Zero, and obtain his Biometal.

Pokemon allows new pokemon to be found.

The best and worst of the Game boy advanced

Ok, so here's the best GBA games and the worst.


Best:

5. Klonoa-Empire of dreams
A platforming puzzle game, fun and difficult.
4.Sonic Advanced
Revives classic 2d sonic
3.Pokemon(all)
Needs no explination.
2.Double Dragon Advanced
A remake of the classic
1. Any Super Mario Advanced game
every one of these features an old Mario Game and Arcade Mario, just with graphc updates.

Worst:

5. Spider-Man 2
the console versions were great, the handheld version was awful.
4. Jimmy Neutron-Attack of the Twonkies
Not only is it a boring game, but look at the title!
3. Bionicle
A terrible adventure game
2.E.T.
A remake of a bad game sucks? shocker!
1.Beyblade-Vforce
A game about playing with tops. So bad I actually destroyed it.
