"GBA Games"

Looking at my GBA collection, most of the games I have are rather immersive games such as Zelda and RPGs.

If any one could recommend some good pick up and play games I would be grateful. I've Sonic Advance 1&2 but thats about it, and I'm planning on getting Advance Wars.

Super Marrrrrrio World.
Oh yes.

Played it on link up with a friend and wasn't impressed.

Might the Super Mario Games though.....

Not sure about "pick up and play", but I highly recommend Broken Sword. It's not as good as the PC or PSone versions, but it's a darn good adventure.

I've got that on the PS1. Is it the same game?

That Go-Go Beckham game's actually supposed to be quite good, for a platformer with a big-name license.

Might be worth it if you like your platformers...

I think the Sonic Advance games (which you own already) are the best pick up and play games on the format.

If you like beat-em-ups Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper is a good bet.

Virtua Tennis should be good pick up and play if you like arcade Tennis games.

If you like Tony Hawks games then the GBA versions are extremely good and offer a fresh exprience from the 3D one. Really impressive engine.

Super Monkey Ball jr has the one player mode like the Cube version and the mini games. The mini games are great for pick up and play.

Finally, MegaMan & Bass is a great platformer for pick up and play. Offers challenge at the same time aswell. Really good.

Yup, it is better on the PC and PS1 due to it having the fantastic speech and the obvious graphical advantages, so as you own it already, don't bother with the GBA version (though it's a good game to take on a long journey).

For pick up and play value get a quality shooter like Gradius.

Advance wars is the best game on the GBA (not played/got zelda yet), so get that anyway - you can play for 5 minutes or 5 hours and it'll last forever, roll on AW2.
