C is just fine but you need to understand how computers work and how to program applications with graphics. On Windows, this means you'll have to learn to use DirectX or SDL down the road. In order to do that, you'll want to be very proficient with C.

Additionally, you should learn about computer architecture and be comfortable with working at a low level: Dealing with bits and bytes. A good way of doing this is learning an assembly language; either X86 or ARM. Either way, you'll encounter plenty of ARM code because of the GBA but knowing X86 (one of the nastier assembly languages out there) is going to be very helpful.
