ContactFrom this point forward I was on a quest, an epic journey if you will, one that would rival any Final Fantasy. I wanted to be a video game journalist.
I set my sights on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for a degree in journalism, and got my foot in the proverbial door by becoming the video games reviewer (and occasional columnist) for the student newspaper The Daily Nebraskan.
It is my hope that after completing my education I can return to my native state of Minnesota, but in the end I just want to work where ever I can get paid to rant about video games.
I don't expect to become a professional game-ranter out of sheer luck. So, I am very open to comments and criticisms, just keep them constructive. "ZOMG u r teh suX0rs!" just isn't helpful.
Until then, The Dude abides.

I'm taking a semester abroad soon, and since its been so long since I've given my GBA a real work out, I'm going to brink that along. I might pick up a DS as well. The question is: What are the MUST HAVE games for both systems?
I'm a fan of RPGs, action/adventure (zelda and the like) and anything thats simply a great game. So, destructoid community: what are your favorites? [EDIT] Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I think I have a good start here, but feel free to keep them coming.

Gunstar Super Heroes is a must. (I say that because not nearly enough people bought it who should have.)
Besides that, Mario & Luigi, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, the Final Fantasy ports, Golden Sun, WarioWare Twisted, and a Pokemon game of your choice.
For DS:
Phoenix Wright, Trauma Center, Kirby Canvas Curse, Tetris DS/Planet Puzzle League, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, and Metroid Prime: Hunters. Plus, a Pokemon game.
I'm sure there's a lot more, but that's what comes to mind off the top of my head.
DS: Mario Kart DS, Phoenix Wright, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Feel the Magic, WarioWare: Touched, Elite Beat Agents, Jump Super Stars (possibly Ultimate, but I haven't really played it much), Advance Wars
fire emblem games
any Final Fantasy game
if you can find it Tactics Ogre
all the castlevanias
secret of mana is good also
and anything else listed in this thread
DS games I like:
metroid is always good
so it Final Fantasy
Advanced Wars is fun
Phoenix Wright is by far one of the best series on the ds
Glory Days 2
Front Mission if you like mechs..
i cant think of anything else that hasnt already been said
btw where you going abroad to?
Also Elite beat agents is great.
And i am really serious with my post.
The first two Mega Man Battle Network games are great. Haven't played anything after them, so I would know about the rest of the series.
GB Micro launched at a poor time and never got the respect it deserved. I've had mine for over a year and I love it.
Castlevanias, Metroids, and Final Fantasies are what took up most of my time after Pokemon. Also, Astro Boy: Omega Factor.
Feel the Magic is what made me not regret buying my DS.
Also, Electroplankton.
I pretty much agree with everything in the above lists.
I've really enjoyed:
GBA:
Minish Cap
DS:
Phantom Hourglass
Phoenix Wright 1-3
Picross
Hotel Dusk
New Super Mario Bros.
If you're travelling an R4 is a really good thing. But, IMO, if you really like games be sure and actually buy them at some point rather than just "steal" them...
