Medal of Honor: Infiltrator is a surprisingly good top down shooter.
Puzzle Fighter and Super Street fighter 2 are worth a pick up.
Make sure you get the Japanese one if you do (Super Street Fighter II X Revival, I got it on eBay from a Japanese seller for about $15 total). The US and EU versions are glitchy, and you can't fight Akuma because the game crashes in those versions do to terrible localizations. Character victory quotes are also mixed up in the English one.Quote:

I'd moreso recommend the Alpha 3 port. Lots of missing backgrounds and endings, but until the PSP version came out this one had the most characters. It's still a solid port. It also has the entire gameplay and animation intact with no slowdown.
Think of this:
Dragon Que... er, Dragon Warrior III on the GO!
It's based on the Super Famicom remake of Dragon Quest III, with of course, downgraded visuals and audio, but man, do they push the GBC capabilities!

oh yeah, Shining Soul II, fantastic game, such a shame it's so unlikely I'd ever get to play it with 3 other people
Another must play/own is Mario vs Donkey Kong
I reccommend all the titles everyone mentioned and
Crash Bandicoot The Huge Adventure and N-Tranced (great platformers)
Ecks Vs Sever (impressive FPS)
Doom 1 and 2
Mario Kart Super Circuit
DKC series (I found I enjoy them a lot more in portable form than on the SNES)
Wario Ware

If you're going to import some, I'd say get Ganbare Goemon 1 + 2 (it's a combo pack), Kuru Kuru Kururin, Kururin Paradise.
Double Dragon Advance!

Drill Dozer
ninja five o is expensive as hell on ebay I will see if it's at Great Escape or some other game place for cheap. These are the game's that I have gotten so far:
Arcade Advanced
Mario vs. Donkey Kong
Mario and Luigi Superstars
Ms Pac-Man Maze Madness
Pac-Man Collection
Zelda 2 NES
Shining Force
Metroid Zero Mission
Sonic Advance
Mario Advance 4
Mario Advance 3
Mario Kart Super Circuit
Final Fight One
Iridion II
Zelda NES Classic
These Nintendo made games tend to go for a lot of money cept for the NES series. But on CL I can get them for relatively cheap. GBA collecting is pretty fun though.
Some repeat recommendations probably and some games you already have, but here are some of my favorites regardless:
GB/GBC:
Metroid II
Zelda: Link's Awkaneing (preferably DX)
Wario Land
Gargoyle's Quest
Mega Man IV and or V
Mega Man Xtreme 2
Donkey Kong
Mole Mania
Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
Bionic Commando (the original, Elite Forces is meh)
Ghostbusters 2
Blaster Master: Enemy Below (remix of the first game that's a bit harder on one hand but easier on the other thanks to passwords)
Ninja Gaiden Shadow
Mario Land 2
Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters
Operation C
Shantae (Expensive)
GBA:
Guardian Heroes Advance
Astro Boy: Omega Factor
Ninja Five-O (Expensive)
Gunstar Super Heroes
Double Dragon Advance
Advance Wars
Sonic Advance series
Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission
Doom/Wolfenstein (If you find them for cheap they're pretty decent ports)
Duke Nukem Advance
Mega Man Zero series
Mega Man and Bass (better on the Super Famicom however)
Castlevania Series (might save money getting the Double Pack I don't know how much that goes for these days)
Zelda: The Minish Cap
No mention yet of MGS?

This is a great game, and an alternative sequel to the events of the original Metal Gear.
GBA collecting is fun. Tons of games, lots of hidden gems, and the games fall into the retro style of the 16-bit era because of the relative lack of 3D power of the machine.Quote:

One of the hidden gems of the GBA library (that's common) is Super Monkey Ball Jr. The main mode is surprisingly fun, but the mini games are good as well. It works surprisingly well with a d-pad. As someone mentioned previously, the Castlevania Double Pack is a good pickup as well. It's a little more pricey, but there's a lot of great gaming in one little cartridge (and it seems to be cheaper than buying the two game separately).
