I'm thinking of getting that new Limited Edition Gameboy SP that looks like the NES controller...

Anyway, what I'm wondering is if GBA is fun. Is it worth getting one? I don't really have any other method of playing games (other than my Gamecube, but I don't play that much because I don't have very many games).

Although there are a few good GBA games available, just buy the GBA for Metroid Fusion. It's the only game you'll ever want. Trust me.

I find it quite fun -- here's just what I have thats GBA related:

-Super Mario World
-MarioKart: Super Circuit
-Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past/Four Swords
-Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure (GC actually but has a major GBA component)
-Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland
-Tetris Worlds

Yeah, I think its worth it. I hear WarioWare is great for those few small-minute times waiting for class and stuff -- I want to get it anyway.

BTW, if you've played and liked Castlevania Symphony of the Night, I HIGHLY reccommend the two Castlevanias I listed earlier. They have very much the same feel.

I would have to recomend:
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
Final Fantasy: Tactics Advance
Mario Vs. Donkey Kong
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario 3
Wario Ware
Game & Watch Gallery 4

(Those last to titles are great for any of those "I need to waste a short amount of time" instances, and they can be so much fun to play for hours too, And Wario Ware can get so addicting, and it give you good practice to use against your friends if you get the GC party version.)

Tactics Ogre for the tactical RPG'er in you. It's like 20 bucks and it lasts, at the least, twice as many hours.
