Does Yoshi's Island count? I loved that game to death and it's ending makes me tear up as well.

Mole Mania is pretty fun. And Gameboy donkey Kong is pretty fun, and it's way more than just an arcade port. It's has way more levels and the format is different. It also has a pretty fun move set.
Kirby's block ball was a great Gameboy game. I remember one I liked a lot called lock n' chase, name could be wrong but I'm sure it's close
shantae for gbc! its a really cute sort of metroidvania thing.
Unfortunately if you want to play on original hardware the og cart is like $600+ dollars, or there was a rerelease cart that is like $60.
That strange Lord of the Rings turn based strategy game.
Advance wars, I just picked up the reboot for the switch
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I prefer it to the sequels on the DS.
Dragon Warrior Monsters for the Gameboy Color was fantastic. It was somewhat similar to pokemon, but had some features that pokemon didn't get for several iterations, like having your monsters follow you around, monster breeding, and multi-monster fighting.
Magi Nation was also good, similar vein to both of them, but felt darker in tone. Although maybe that's just how it seemed to a much younger me.
I had completely forgotten about this game until you just mentioned it. But wow I played this so much it was fantastic.
I remember getting another dragon warrior game and being confused why it wasn’t at all like Pokémon (was more of a jrpg party building game)
Apart from Zelda and Pokemon: Castlevania, Metroid, Fire Emblem
Does GBA count? Cause FF Tactics Advanced games were awesome.
Golden Sun and its sequel, Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Easily my two GBA favourites.
The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age for GBA, I had so much fun playing hotseat with my friends.
Honourable mentions for: Tetris, Battlebots and The March of Penguins.
Here's a short list of my favorites:
- golden sun
- fire emblem
EDIT: I misread the post... updated for GB only
The port of FF4 on the GBA was really good.
Original Gameboy, though, I played a LOT of the Tomogotchi game. I don't know why, but I loved that janky garbage pile of a game.
Wario Land 2 was a constant as well.
I loved kid Icarus. Played the shit out of the game when I was a kid. That a Kirby's Dreamland were my two favorites that I can recall right now.
Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (GBC). I'm convinced it's what got me into JRPGs because of the similarities, despite being a western game. It was localized to my language (Swedish) which was not the case for most games (like pokemon), so young me could actually understand what was going on for once. I really like the art in it too.
If we're allowed GBA then Zelda Minish Cap or Lego Star Wars.
So I grew up playing James Bond 007 on my OG Game Boy. It wasn't the greatest game in the world but it provided hours of fun on car trips when I was a kid.
Fire Emblem 7 a.k.a The Blazing Sword
Pocket Bomberman (GBC), Wario Land (GB), Wario Land II (GBC), Bubble Bobble Old and New (GBA), Donkey Kong '94 (GB), Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Dream Land 2 (GB), Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland (GBA), Kirby and the Amazing Mirror (GBA), Dr. Mario (GB), Tetris (GB), and Tetris DX (GBC), Mario's Picross (GB).
Been playing road rash (GBC) and its nice
Kirby games are nice too
Wario Land 3 & 4
Advance Wars
Golden Sun
Dragon Quest 3
That's a solid list. Very similar tastes
The Urbz: Sims in the City for the GBA (and also the DS).
This is such a hidden gem on the GBA and my favorite GBA game I had. Had great music as well!
The GBA castlevania games own
I bought the various flavors of Gameboy just to play the slew of those games.
My favourite GBA game was Metroid Fusion, I wish I still knew where it was
If you own a Switch, it's playable on the GBA app with a Nintendo Switch Online membership.
