What are some good non-Japanese-developed games for this thing? It seems like almost everything I know and hear about was made by Japanese developers, but did the west make anything good for it? Or anything at all? Only thing that's coming to mind is the DKC trilogy.

Iridion II, Sigma Star Saga, Banjo-Kazooie Grunty's Revenge, Scurge: Hive, the GBA Crash games are several I can think of.

Oh and Shantae Advance is now coming back as a full game from Limited Run, preorders were supposed to be available on September 2023 but would be delayed to early 2024

while there is some good stuff it's almost entirely licensed, or a port/demake, or a slightly suped up remake of like an old midway arcade game. as far as good original ip or a legit franchise entries there's barely anything.

Try:
Spyro Eternal Night
Spyro 2 Season of Flame
Crash 2 N-Tranced
Monster House
Pac-Man World 2

not the best, but not bad either.
>>10408562
Sigma Star Saga is definitely a quality game, but man the random battle get really grating.

Wade Hixton's Counter Punch. High quality game with soulful early 00's UPA-styled art. Honestly, it looks like it was a Cartoon Network show, I love it.

I wish the game had gotten more attention and sales so we would've had more but in a way it's better it died in a blaze of glory. I shudder at the thought of Cal Arts Wade.

I swear a lot of Western developed GBA and even some GBC games come off as if they picked up some dudes from the demoscene and told them to work on a game.
