Just hacked my 3DS and want to get caught up on all those GB and GBC games I've missed, what are some must-plays and hidden gems?

Two games I never see recommended that I've been enjoying are Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue and Time Force. Developed by Natsume, both games have tons of polish, from graphics and music to gamjeplay. Each game has multiple objectives in each stage along with multiple endings. Even without the license, both are great action platformers. I wish I gave both a chance as a kid.

For The Frog the Bell Tolls: Requires an English translation patch to play. This was a predecessor to Link's Awakening, they used the same engine. A very charming adventure game with a silly sense of humor. I really like it.
Trip World: A platformer by Sunsoft. The graphics look great for gameboy, often called "gimmick on gameboy". I wouldn't say it is as good as gimmick but it's still a good game.
Legend of the River King: Simple jrpg with a fishing theme, just a cute game in general.
Try Bonk's Adventure and Bonk's Revenge. Not sure why all the info on these games says they're ports when they're basically new games.

>Legend of the River King
might as well just do River King 2, it surpasses the original in all ways.
they're both comfy games tho.
Warioland 3
Pokemon Crystal
Metroid 2 Return of Samus

OP here, thanks for all the suggestions so far. Are the Final Fantasy Legends/Adventure games worth checking out? Or should I just skip ahead to future SaGa/Mana games

>>Nintendo never made a gameboy port of pic related
It's weird considering the fact they ported almost every other puzzle game to it like Tetris Attack, Yoshi and Yoshi's Cookie.

Legends 2 is good.
Also, play Dragon Quest 1,2,3 and Lufia 3.

Everyone loves to talk about obscure games. But only hoarders and children say "hidden gem," and neither is welcome here. Reddit/9Gag/YouTube have ruined that phrase forever.

"Stranded Kids"
It's definitely one not to miss~
It's about surviving on an island, and you can combine items to enhance your survival.
kaijuu-ou godzilla is a fun side scrolling beat em up where you play as GOD FUCKING ZILLA. you start the game in the ocean climbing out the water and instantly firing atomic breath at each and every helicopter and boat in your path you climb out of the water after decimating the entire japanese naval forces only to be greeted by some douchey little bitch ass no name monster who you can instantly fucking consume with your fucking unholy uppercuts that would make mike tyson cry like a teenage girl after her first breakup. hell yeah
this game is dope

This, get the G&W Galleries, countless hours of good fun.

Isn't this called "Survival Kids"? Or is that a different game?
>>4074854
I think they're both the same game, the difference in names are from the different localization I believe.
