GBA suggestions?

scott:
I've been working on these covers for my GBA games and it's gotten me thinking about paying more attention to the system. I only slightly got into it while it was new and didn't make my return to portable gaming until the DS came out. So I know I missed out on a lot of stuff, and I think I had a feeling that the GBA was nothing but a load of shovelware at the time.

Here's what I own now, http://vgcollect.com/scott/gba . Anyone have some suggestions on what to look for?
amauriel:
I'd actually like to know this too, I know that's a weak spot in my collection as well.

That being said, I do see two that I'd love to recommend: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (sorta a throwback to Mario RPG, really unique gameplay style) and Riviera: The Promised Land (it has this weapon/attack mechanic that really gives it a good replay). Riviera is in the same series/style as Yggdra Union, Knights in the Nightmare, and Gungnir, and I want to say it's even the beginning for the series. Anyway, classy, unique RPG that was one of my favorite memories of the GBA.

Glancing again: Fire Emblem?!?!? How do you not have Fire Emblem??  :P
jobocan:
I think you need more Castlevania, clearly you don't have enough :P

Random suggestions:
Advance Wars
Astro Boy: Omega Factor
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Lufia: The Ruins of Lore (not as good as Lufia 2, but still pretty solid)
Monster Rancher Advance 2

Unpopular suggestion: Mega Man Battle Network. Really fun series, specifically 2 and 3 (you can pretty much ignore the rest, they're not that great).

Pac-Man pinball!

I lost a solid year of my live to that game. So good.
