Best GBA Casual Games of All Time

We already published the list of best GBA games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best GBA casual games of all time.

With amazing titles available, the GBA definitely has a great library of casual games.

So, if you’re a fan of both the GBA and casual games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.

And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.

#10. Game & Watch Gallery 4

Game & Watch Gallery 4
  • Release Data: TOSE/Nintendo, 2002
  • Genre: Casual » Compilation

Nintendo has packaged a grand total of 31 games together into a collection that exists more for posterity than glamour.

If you’re looking at Game & Watch Gallery 4, chances are you know what you’re getting into and don’t care that the graphics and sound are modest and dated.

The games are certainly strong enough to stand on their gameplay alone.

#9. Namco Museum

Namco Museum
  • Release Data: Mass Media/Infogrames, 2001
  • Genre: Casual » Compilation

The Game Boy Advance version of Namco Museum isn’t the best translation that these arcade classics have ever seen, but the ability to take them with you wherever you go makes this version of Namco Museum the most compelling version to date.

Any fan of classic arcade games should be happy with it.

#8. Phantasy Star Collection

Phantasy Star Collection
  • Release Data: Digital Eclipse/Sega, 2002
  • Genre: Casual » Compilation

You could easily spend dozens of hours with any of the games in this collection, so the fact that you get three games of great length and quality on one cartridge makes Phantasy Star Collection perfect for any fan of console role-playing.

In fact, fans of RPGs owe it to themselves to add this game to their collection.

#7. Pac-Man Collection

Pac-Man Collection
  • Release Data: Mass Media/Infogrames, 2001
  • Genre: Casual » Compilation

Regardless of their age, the simple, undemanding diversions found in Pac-Man Collection are perfect for today’s portable systems.

By selectively targeting a single franchise and including nearly perfect ports, Namco has made a compilation that Pac-Man fans are sure to enjoy.

#6. Konami Collector’s Series: Arcade Advanced

Konami Collector's Series: Arcade Advanced
  • Release Data: KCEA/Konami, 2002
  • Genre: Casual » Compilation

Regardless of the minor issues, there isn’t a weak game in the group, and the addition of single-cart multiplayer makes it an even better value.

The ability to play as Chain, Buchu, Star, Blues, and the rest of the Yie Ar Kung-Fu gang is enough on its own to make this title a must-have.

#5. Chessmaster

Chessmaster
  • Release Data: Ubisoft, 2002
  • Genre: Casual » Board / Card Game

Chessmaster is a fully rounded chess title on the go that even newcomers to the game will find very useful thanks to the included tutorial mode that acclimates new players to the basic rules and strategies of the game.

The replay ability of the game is enormous and the multiplayer component doesn’t require a separate game-pak, which is nice.

#4. Activision Anthology

Activision Anthology
  • Release Data: Aspyr, 2003
  • Genre: Casual » Compilation

Even though the games included don’t look all that great by today’s standards, many of them are still just as much fun to play now.

Activision Anthology is worth picking up just for the sheer number of games it comes with, but the additional historical extras make it a must-have for anyone with an interest in classic video games.

#3. Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls

Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls
  • Release Data: TOSE/Nintendo, 2004
  • Genre: Casual » Compilation

Final Fantasy fans who might have missed playing Final Fantasy Origins on the PlayStation will find Dawn of Souls to be a nice compilation of two old favorites to take on the road.

If you’ve played Origins, you’ve already played these games, though the bonus content on offer represents some nice extra material for the truly hardcore.

#2. WarioWare: Twisted!

WarioWare: Twisted!
  • Release Data: Nintendo, 2005
  • Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame

WarioWare Twisted is not only incredibly innovative, it’s an insanely successful design that really shows off the potential of the Game Boy Advance platform.

A game like this just wouldn’t work on the console format. It’s far more creative, much deeper, and a heck of a lot more fun than previous games in the series.

#1. WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!
  • Release Data: Nintendo, 2003
  • Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame

While it can be said that the game isn’t quite as exciting once you’ve seen every minigame it has to offer, the method that it brings the games to you stays fresh, and a bevy of unlockables keep things moving along quite nicely.

Anyone looking for an exciting change of pace will have a fantastic time with WarioWare.

About

Hi, I'm R, and I've been playing video games since I was a kid. My first console was the original PlayStation (the gray one) and I spent countless hours playing Crash Bandicoot series and Spyro series. My second console was the PS2 Fat, and I completed all of the GTA series 100%.
