On the GBC side i have two more untranslated animegames to note

One Piece: Yume no Luffy Kaizokudan Tanjou decided to be a clone of Shining Force for whatever reason and it was pretty good as a result

One Piece: Maboroshi no Grand Line Boukenki! was instead a clone of early FF titles. I think it was a sequel if memory serves right. They covered events of the series pretty faithfully, not that there was much back then. Good music too.

The latter made it into the Best Gameboy/Gameboy Color Game contest on the board like 6 years ago totally not literally just because of me and got a respectable amount of 2 votes in its match against pokemon rby. Two! One of those wasn't even me, can you believe it.

also i won predictions in that bracket as the only one who didn't pick rby to win the whole thing. Coincidence? Yes.

If you haven't already, Double Dragon Advance

As mentioned in previous posts, Astro Boy: Omega Factor is a definite must play

Mega Man Zero 1,2,3,4 would be potential must plays if you remotely liked the Mega Man X series

Hmmm, you also mentioned Game Boy/Color.
Try these out.

Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru/The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls (GB). This one is totally a must play.
Similar to Zelda except with a unique battle system.

Metal Gear: Ghost Babel (GBC) if you liked Metal Gear games. Pretty good presentation and a pretty good game that stands alone on it's own right.

Shantae (GBC). First game started here that eventually spawned a very good series.

Trip World (GB). Cute little action/platformer by Sunsoft with some nice looking sprites, a good soundtrack and you can turn into different forms.

4 and 5 are pretty bad
1 didn't age well compared to the later games but it's vital to the story
2 and 3 are masterpieces, 6 is good

GBA version is 100x better. The sprite art is fantastic. The remake just feels like a worse KH1.

Also play Golden Sun and Advance Wars.

Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite and Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak are actually great adventure games.

it's a bit stripped down, but Monster Rancher Advance 2 is a solid entry in that series.

Haven't played 5 or 1 and I haven't beaten 2 yet oops. I've heard super mixed things about 5. If the minigames and translation of 4 were better I'd find it bearable so 5 is probably fine

also when you finish the series get Chrono X
