So what games do you want to see on the GBA VC should Nintendo (and the 3rd party peeps) get off their lazy bums and start offering a decent library?

personally,

Final Fantasy IV/V/VI
Final Fantasy Tactics
Kururin Paradise
Tales of Symphonia err i mean phantasia
Super Robot Wars OG & 2
Yggdra Union
Riviera
 
Metroid: Zero Mission
Super Mario Advance series (I liked the added collectables they added to each game)
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (which will never happen but I loved it)
Golden Sun: The Lost Age
Castlevania series
 
Ninja Five-O 100% all day 24/7 yes. One of the best games on the system and it costs like 18 billion dollars now.
 
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow would be fantastic.

Figured I'd get that out there before this thread turns into needless whining for GBA games on the 3DS instead.

They should release a patched version of Boktai that uses the system's clock to determine time of day / when you have sunlight.
Metal Gear x Zelda x Castlevania = Best original GBA game ever.

I honestly don't understand how this game has a metacritic average in the 80s. I can only imagine most reviewers didn't bother playing very far into it on account of the solar sensor because this game is a 9.5/10 all day long.
 
Boktai

Translate the solar sensor to a button combination or something. I remember it having really fun stealth gameplay for a GBA game, and it would be a shame if the solar shenanigans keep it from being re-released.
 
Botkai (beaten like a sap)
Drill Dozer

Golden Sun: The Lost Age (there really is no reason to NOT release this. The first game is not complete without playing the second installment for story reasons)

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (best castlevania imo)
 
My personal GBA VC List:

Donkey Kong Country Series
Pokemon Emerald (with some kind of connectivity to OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire)
Super Mario World (it's on the JP e-Shop, bring it over!)
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4
Alien Hominid
Metroid Zero Mission
Sonic Advanced
Driver GBA
Pokemon Puzzle Challenge (GBC game, but would like it to get released)
 
Advance Wars
Metroid
Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga
Pokemon Leaf Green
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2
Gunstar Heroes
Contra
Sonic Advance 1
 
Pokemon Emerald on the 3DS

That way I can play the remake and the superior version of the originals on the same device.

Banjo Pilot would also be pretty cool, but it's probably unlikely.
 
Wario Ware: Twisted. It could work perfectly with the gyroscope of the Gamepad since it pretty much holds the same shape of the original Game Boy Advance only bigger.
 
I was pretty good about getting all the first party stuff when I owned a GBA, so I'd like to see the rarer third party stuff like Ninja Five-0.
 
Metroid: Zero Mission is the big one. Also would probably buy F-Zero GP Legend--I've played every NA-released F-Zero game except that one.

There's also a few JP-only games that I'd like to see localized and released, but I have pretty much zero expectation of that ever happening.
 
Metroid Zero Mission (One of my favorite games)
Drill Dozer (Never got to try it)
The second Golden Sun game (I haven't grabbed the first one yet but I'd like to try both)

That's it, I think.
 
Why not all of them (except for situations of licencing)? Do these devs expect us to pirate them instead? Not sure why they take years (often never) to come to digital distribution, especially Nintendos own games.

Buy solar energy via micro-transactions!
