"Rhythm Tengoku on GBA, Nintendo's first WarioWare-like rhythm game. Absurd and brilliant rhythm micro-games, sharp Japanese humor. A rhythm masterpiece, Japan exclusive."
"Golden Sun L'Age Perdu, French version of the Lost Age. Same excellence as the English edition, texts in French. The Golden Sun sequel remains a masterpiece in any language."
"Fire Emblem Rekka no Ken on GBA, the Japanese version of Blazing Sword. Reference SRPG of the series in its original version. For fans who prefer the Japanese experience."
"Metroid Zero Mission on GBA, improved remake of NES Metroid. Better than the original in every way, accessible without betraying the essence. A perfect introduction to the Metroidvania genre."
"Gradius Advance on GBA, Konami's space shooter in portable form. True to the capsule and option mechanics, high difficulty. For demanding shmup fans."
"Gunstar Future Heroes on GBA, Western version of the Gunstar Heroes successor. Frantic action, varied levels, memorable bosses. Treasure at the top of its game on GBA."
"Megaman Battle Network 3 Blue on GBA, Blue version of the episode considered the series peak. Perfect gameplay/story balance. Every Battle Network fan must play this."
"An absolute gem, nearly impossible to find outside Japan. Spectacular action, faithful to the manga, technically stunning on GBA. A must-have for rare game collectors."
"Gunstar Super Heroes on GBA, Japanese version of Future Heroes. Spectacular action, constant challenges and Treasure's inventiveness on show. One of the best portable run and guns."
