About the King Of Fighters EX series, the best game there is 2 I heard the first was a bit bad and didn't play nice at all (I recon most people would agree). So if the list could be changed that would be nice.

My recommendations out of stuff that isn't in the topmost list already:
Kuru Kuru Kururin
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
Steel Empire
Duke Nukem Advance
The Pinball of the Dead
Galaxy Angel - Moridakusan Tenshi no Full-Course (being able to read japanese is hardly required)
SD Gundam Force
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Zone of the Enders

How good is Lunar Legend? It was featured in NP's latest Play Back article and they pretty much raved about it.

No idea if I posted here before, but I know I didn't vote this one yet since I just played it a week ago. +1 Kirby & the Amazing Mirror. New favorite GBA game, ever.

Crash Nitro Kart
Crash Purple: Ripto's Rampage
I really loved the Crash games for GBA. Pokémon too, but those are already up there.

I liked the platformers, and I did play a lot of crash nitro kart though I don't know if I would call it essential. Crash Purple, though, I would not recommend at all, and I say that having 100% completed it. It's better than Spyro Orange but dear god whoever thought it was a good idea to make it a minigame game needs to get thumped over the head.

 

[Krikke]

+1 for both final fantasy tactics games
+ a million to both golden suns... or if that's not allowed, +1 to both i played and still play those games like a man possessed
+1 to both advance wars games too
