The GBA is on the way out...isn't that depressing?

You know, I was in Best Buy today picking up Dawn of Sorrow and I noticed that the GBA section is looking downright pitiful, there were maybe 10 different games to pick from...
Does anyone else find it kind of depressing that by this time next year we may not see GBA games in stores anymore?
So, what GBA games are must-haves that I should track down while I still have the chance?

(the DS version is also applicapable, one of those games where its the same thing, with maybe 1 or 2 differences, minor stuff mapped to the touch screen.)
TMNT
Pokemon Emerald
I got my first GBA on the day it launched (the old horizontal Afterburner-needin' GBA) when I was about to get my wisdom teeth out. That made a week that should have sucked hard suck less.
Also, Harmony of Dissonance & Aria of Sorrow, of course, even though I didn't like Circle of the Moon so much.
My Micro needs some lovin'.

What a load of crap. Ahh well.
Anyway, go for Metroid Zero Mission if you can find it. Pokemon Emerald, Wario Ware Twisted, and Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green are what I suggest.
Or to...Wal*Mart. They're practically bursting through the glass cases.
One of us lives in Backwards land.
That said, the GBA still outsold the PS3 last month.
I'm still hoping Nintendo is bringing Bit Generations here, since it's on ESRB's website and everything, and since the GBA still has a decent following in the States.
Also, I don't know what you folks are talking about, I can find Micros all over the dang place. The local Walmart has them for fifty bucks.
And Advance Wars.
And Advance Wars. The only problem with Boktai is when it rains down in africa. But yes, I feel all kinds of sad by the prospect of not seeing GBA-games in-store soon. Fortunately the swedish market isn't flooded with bootleg copies of GBA-games (or I've been lucky, I feel lucky, am I lucky?) so one can grab games anyway.
And how in the hell did this repost-deal happen?
I just got to the last level in AW2 last week.
I may finally beat this damned thing!
At the Best Buy here, their Sci-Fi movie section looks downright pitiful. Sci-Fi must be on the way out, isn't that depressing?
Or you know, maybe Best Buy just sucks, and that's all there is to it.
Astro boy was also pretty good (made by treasure)!
Other than that I dont have any GBA games that I liked (see: boktai) and I dont really like the system as a whole that much.
And if you can't come up with more than three good games on the GBA, either you have very narrow taste or haven't looked very hard.
Wait, what?
The only real complaint I've ever heard about it is that it's too short.
Agree? y/n.
Also, everyone should buy Bit Generations games. Especially Soundvoyager and Orbital.
That system probably had the most impressive lineup out of all last gen's systems, including the PS2, XBox, and Cube.

TERRIBLE
Seriously, fucked up beyond all reasoning. Do Not Play.

Tetris?
Dr. Mario?
Mario Land 1/2?
Wario Land 1/2/3?
Trax? (<- So awesome)
Contra?
Donkey Kong 94?
Edit: Well, there you go.
Original Gameboy Release was so awesome.
Edit: Crap, beaten by one minute
I can imagine my grandparents playing Tetris. I cannot in a zillion years imagine them playing Zelda.
...of course, they're all dead, so it's kind of a moot point.
Yes, that would be something of an obstacle.
Agree strongly. Its library is insanely strong. If I had time right now I'd sit here and list out great games, but I have to go to work. Maybe somebody else will do it for me.
Minish Cap and Advance Wars 1/2 both immediately come to mind. The original Wario Ware. Golden Sun 1/2. Many others... no time!
I hope Nintendo teams up with someone and makes a VC-style thing for mobiles. It'd be awesome.
The only GBA games I still want are ones that are damn near impossible to find. Ninja Five-0 and Car Battler Joe. Also, Donkey Kong 94 or whatever it was called for the GBC.
I actually got a brand new GBA game for Christmas last year. Capcom Classics: Mini Mix (I think that's what it was called). NES original versions of Bionic Commando, Strider and Mighty Final Fight. I loved Strider as a kid, but the flicker and slowdown is so much worse than I remember it. It was tough to play. Bionic Commando, on the other hand, is still fucking brilliant.
Come to think of it, weren't there 2 Bionic Commando games for one of the pre-advance Gameboys? That's a franchise I wish would get reborn for now-gen.
There was also an original Ninja Gaiden game for the original Gameboy. It's sweet.
