NOT SURE WHAT TO BUY...

CloseI've got a Wii U Deluxe, and have $10 credit leftover from some early purchases(Deluxe edition gives you back 10% of each digital/code purchase as store credit). So of course, I figured I'd put this to use and buy an old classic from the E-shop - They just put out a nice selection of GBA games. The problem is, I'm not sure which one I want. I've narrowed it down to:
1) Golden Sun
2) Metroid Fusion
3) Advance Wars
4) Wario Land 4
I've already played all three of those in the past, though my original cartridges are long gone. Loved all of them for various reasons, and now I can't decide which one to pick up. Buying all three isn't an option, as I'm only buying one because of that nice $10 credit.
Anyone feel like tossing in their opinions? Of course, I'm open to other options.

Of those, I've only actually played Metroid Fusion and Golden Sun. I've never actually finished Golden Sun, so, Metroid Fusion would be my suggestion.
*edit: Is Metroid Zero Mission on the table? I would recommend that over Fusion.

1st Choice: Golden Sun.
2nd Choice: Golden Sun.
3rd Choice: Golden Sun.
4th Choice: Golden Sun.
I don't see any other options here...
Edit: Then get Golden Sun: The Lost Age and continue the story with your old characters. Then stop. Because Dark Dawn never happened.

Golden Sun was terrible; the characters were boring, the systems all towed the line, the story was stock, and the puzzles were cool but too easy to be really enjoyable.
Metroid Fusion's the best game on that list, but Advance Wars has the most bang for your buck. I haven't played Wario 4, though, so no opinion on that one. Just, God, don't support Golden Sun. We can do BETTER than that.

I agree with Red Nova, Golden Sun is one of the best JRPGs there are. It's a must-play.
I wouldn't say Golden Sun is a terrible game, but I wouldn't say it's one of the "best" jrpgs either (Unless for you "best" is synonyms with "generic" ;D) For me it was an "OK" game... OP, if you're inclined in getting an rpg then get Golden Sun, or Golden Sun 2 if that's an option (The slightly better game of the two). Otherwise get Metroid Fusion or Zero Mission; both truly good games.
Dunno what other games are available, but I'd recommend any of the Castlevania games, The Mega Man Zero series, Tactics Ogre: The knight of Lodis, or a 'Sting' game (Riviera: The promised land or Yggdra Union: We'll never fight alone).

Well I do like generic JRPGs and best is not a synonym for generic, it means best implementation. Basically the fluid feeling, the good balance, the fun combat.
Though I think Golden Sun was quite unique with its puzzle system.

Golden Sun has some neat ideas with its puzzles, but I found its storyline to be trite and banal. Still, it's not Beyond the Beyond--there's far worse ways of spending your money.
