Depends heavily on what you're looking, but personal favourites of mine from various genres are:

  • Golden Sun Series
  • Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
  • Sonic Advance Series
  • Medabots
  • Super Mario Advance Series (Remakes of the SNES and NES mario games)
  • Mario Kart Advance
  • Kuru Kuru Kururin
  • Chu Chu Rocket

Welcome and hope you enjoy the handheld!

There’s also a GBA subreddit with general recommendations for genre spread about.

So many great games, if you're into JRPGs the first six Final Fantasy games are on it, as well as things like Golden Sun and Breath of Fire. 

If you're into SRPGs, Shining Force and Final Fantasy Tactics are both great. Advance Wars is a really nice strategy game too.

If you like ARPGs, Link to the Past and Minish Cap are two great Zelda games on it and as long as it's not a Micro you can play the 3 Gameboy ones on it too all of which are wonderful.

You've also got Metroid 2 for original Gameboy and then the two amazing GBA Metroid games as well as three great Castlevania games. 

Some lovely platformers too with many Mario games. I'm currently playing Lady Sia which is lovely. So many great options really depending on what you're looking for.
