A GameBoy Color version of Jet Force Gemini was in development at Rare in 2000, but it was cancelled in the end. The original JFG is a third-person shooter / action adventure published for the Nintendo 64 in October 1999, but the GBC version was never officially announced.

We were able to know about this cancelled project only thanks to Dano2k0 from the Assembler Forum, that found a playable prototype and shared some screens with the community. Rare released 2 other GameBoy Color games based on their Nintendo 64 titles, Perfect Dark and Conker’s Pocket Tales, that were received with low interest by gamers: we could speculate that their third GameBoy Color “N64 port” was canned for this reason or for quality issues.

Jet Force Gemini GBC was going to have an isometric 2D view, while the gameplay was probably going to be “similar” to the N64 version, with lots of shooting and insects to kill.

These types of finds always leave me a little skeptical.
For instance, why is he using a IS-CGB-EMULATOR? Why is he so reluctant to post pics of the cart? And why can’t he make a simple crappy video of it in action?

Granted, this has a bit more “umpf” since there is a supposed resume of someone who was working on a JFG GBC game, but I’m still on the fence. Personally, I think he just made a simple slideshow ROM and slapped some home made images on it.
