2,174 View

With the Switch 2 just days away, we’re going system to system counting down the best and worst games on the Nintendo Classics app. To do this, we’re using the average scores from Electronic Gaming Monthly, GamePro, Next Generation, Edge, Computer & Video Games, Nintendo Power and more classic magazines that reviewed these games back when they first came out.

We’ve already looked at the top 49 Genesis games, so now it’s time to turn our attention to the Game Boy Advance. First added to the Nintendo Switch Online back in February of 2023, Nintendo has added a total of 25 Game Boy Advance games to the Expansion Pack in the last 27 months. That’s almost one a month. Unfortunately, there aren’t English-language reviews for two of the Starfy games, as well as F-Zero: Climax, which only came out in Japan. But don’t worry, because we still have a stacked list of games, including all of your GBA favorites. I sure hope you like ports of Mario games, because here are the top 22 Game Boy Advance games on Nintendo Classics.
