I'm looking for recommendations for games to get for my retroid picket 3. I like platfirmers, metroidvania, turn based games and driving games.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks for all the replies - so many more than I expected! Plenty for me to take a look at. :-)

For platformers, definitely try Yoshi's Island if you haven't already. If the visual style is a turn off, try to roll with it until at least the second boss. Great gameplay.

For a turn-based RPG, you'll frequently get Final Fantasy recommended but if you'd like to also try the other big series, give Dragon Quest V a shot. Otherwise I second the recommendations for Advance Wars (strategy) or Tactics Ogre (strategy JRPG, go with the PSP version for your hardware).
